First a disclaimer - I have been a season ticket holder for 40 years and I still have trouble understanding why or why not a play worked. Take the following observations with grain of salt. We were on the sidelines and many times other fans or players blocked my vision. Drake Lindsey is big -...

Does anyone know when fall practice starts? I couldn't find any mention of it on the Gopher Sports website. Also, does anyone know when the open practices will be and/or a fall scrimmage? When the spring game was moved inside, coach Fleck said there would be something in the fall for the...

I have been a gopher season-ticket holder for 38 years. This is the most talented group of receivers I have ever seen. We have had some terrific individual receivers - Eric Decker, and Max Williams come to mind just off the top of my head - but considering the receivers as a group, this is the...

I need a little help understanding something. What does the phrase "play to win" look like? The phrase comes has come up fairly often this year in relation to Fleck's game strategies. Fleck should "play to win" and not "play to not lose". It seems to me that of, course, Fleck plays to win...

It was Homecoming. Some/many of the players had buddies, who had graduated, come back to campus. The players got together with their buddies and perhaps had a beer or two, then some more buddies showed up and it called for another beer/shot or two. Then, before they knew it - it was late -...

I read somewhere on the web that this is the slogan the defense (or perhaps the entire team) has adopted for itself this season. If you are not familiar with the quote, it is from the TV series Breaking Bad. The past couple of games the scoreboard has posted a message to the effect "Can you...

Does this mean they won't be Big10 Champs like they thought they would be at the beginning of the season? Bwwaahahahaha!!!! I am laughing so hard I may lose control of some of my bodily functions.

Sanford will not be back. Here's why. There are a few assumptions I think we can all agree on. Fleck is not stupid, Fleck actually watches the games. So far this year, Fleck has watched two games that we absolutely should have won, BG and IL, one game that we certainly could have won, IA, and...

I think Demry has grown a lot over the last 4 games. I also think it is obvious to everyone that he has a ways to go however... I think spring ball is 15 practices and fall ball is is 30 practices and, if we make a bowl game with 5 wins, that would be 15 more practices for a total of 60 or...

What will you be curious about Thursday evening? Of course, everyone will be watching the quarterback play, that goes without saying. I re-watched the Western Michigan / Wisconsin game and noticed that frequently the WMU running backs were getting past the line of scrimmage into Wisconsin's...

I think all GopherHolers interested in the sexual assault should follow the link and gain a well researched look at campus "sexual assault" Even if you don't agree you might gain insight into a different perspective...

Didn't Hutton say he was going to sue everyone? Well... What is he waiting for? Wouldn't a lawsuit before the hearing force the U and the EOAA to make sure the students got a fair hearing? Anyone have any insight as to why lawsuits haven't been filed?

A few days ago someone posted a link to a pdf of this years media guide. For the life of me, I can't find it on Gophersports.com and for some reason Gopherhole will not let me search. If someone knows how to find it on Gophersports.com or if someone remembers what thread it was in on...

If you are truly desperate for live football (I am!!!) NDSU is on ESPN tonight at 6:30. Should be a good game... or not, but at least it is a game - A. REAL. LIVE. GAME.

The Under Armour HS all star game is on ESPN2 at 11 today. It looks like Snelson will be the only recruit playing in the game.

Just a few observations Both Leidner and Streveler looked better in their passing skills. Most of the passes were on target, and the ones that weren't were generally caught by the WRs. There were a few clunkers by each QB and a few where it was obvious the WR and QB were running different...

All people involved should be banned from higher education forever. They prostituted these kids for their own gain and fame. If some of these kids had received appropriate interventions in grade school, high school and college they might have had a chance in life but if you read at a 4th grade...

Does anyone know if the spring practices will be open to the public like they were last year?

If J. T. Barrett plays then Ohio State wins. For that matter, Oregon would also win. Both teams have more overall speed than the Vikings and, in the case of OSU, are more physical.

Quick question. Can Rod Smith, Gentry and some of the other redshirts play in the bowl game without burning their redshirt status? Put another way, when does the 2014 season end and the 2015 season begin? It would be fun to see some of the redshirts but obviously they are not going to play...
