I was the impression Lindsey was the heir apparent and he had all the tools for a long run at qb for the Gophers. Maybe I read too much into the news we now have a fierce competition for the job, but I sort of assume either Lindsey hasn’t continued to develop or isn’t as good as advertised.

I like him. I always liked him paired with Sean McDonough.

Queue the “PJ Fleck to Stanford” rumors. It doesn’t seem to matter if there is any coaching opening Hamline to Ohio State. There always has to be at least one article listing Fleck as a candidate.

Perhaps I am forgetting a third example but if my memory serves me I have only willingly/knowingly trolled on social media in two settings, separated by over 20 years. The first was back in the early 00’s on a muskie fishing board where a friend of mine and I would play off each other’s...

It’s the off season so there will always be a lot of these rankings floating around. It is a near guarantee the Gophers are somehow always just assumed to be on a trend to be worse than the prior season. The Covid season was an exception and that team seemed to be set up to expand from the...

It is the off season. Time for polls on the best uniforms in the Big 10. I am checking every 3 hours to see what the situation is with SoN.

That was one crazy dude. People used to try to go after him about Iowa, not realizing that didn’t phase him. His sole internet existence centered on hating Gopher football. He had loose alliances with Iowa and Northern Iowa but I got the feeling he couldn’t name three players on either of those...

Nebraska #6 and the Gophers at #10 sounds just right for February/March. By June, look for the Gophers to sink to the 14-16 range while Nebraska should be really encouraged landing around #4.

I think we are now in a repeating pattern with Fleck's Gophers. Decent team every year. If the breaks and ball bounces go well, you get 2019. If the "woulda coulda's" are at a high percentage, you get 2023. Six wins is now the basement. Anything lower than that is a calamity. 8 wins is...

I freely admit to having maroon and gold glasses but it just "feels" to me like MN gets underrated every year while Nebraska gets overrated every year. Given this prediction of 6.5, it is another way of saying the Gophers are going to be worse against an easier schedule. That is a pretty...

I didn’t include swimming and diving info in my original post because the MIAC doesn’t publish “standings” for swimming. However, the MIAC mens and womens swimming and diving championships were this prior weekend. Gustavus won the men’s meet, and Gustavus won the women’s meet.

A couple points on uniforms. I liked these new uniforms when they were introduced and I still am okay with them. However, I liked them less as the season progressed because I noticed nearly every other team now has the same uniforms (in different colors of course). It’s like some uniform...

It is a split historically, but I was thinking more about present and future. Gustavus has remained powerful in women's sports (they finished second to UST in most of the years UST won it). Perhaps this year will prove to be a blip but it looks like they will win the men's all-sport award this...

I am going to use this thread to vent the way local joes go on social media and come up with their “ranking every B1G Stadium” lists. They usually have only been to a couple of them but “rank” them all with entirely suspect criteria. Some of them base 95% of their ranking on capacity, taking...

I wasn’t sure where to post this as it isn’t specific to football but it does include football. When St. Thomas went to D1, I wondered if someone would fill the void in the MIAC. St. John’s, Bethel, and Gustavus seemed the most likely. St. John’s had the stellar football heritage and decent...

Yes, it was packed but I wasn’t comparing it to Williams Arena. 3K in St. Peter vs 15K at the U are different beasts. That said, I really enjoy good MIAC basketball although it has been a few years since I caught one in person.

Where did you see that comparison? Certainly not in my post.

Gustavus wins a thriller over #6 St. John’s today to claim first MIAC title in over 10 years. Full house, wild crowd… shades of the 90’s/early 00’s when GAC had an elite basketball program. Gusties are now undefeated in the MIAC and 21-3 overall...

correct, and potential portal candidates themselves within those multiple years required for development.

I think it is time to take a very small break to mention the argument I had a couple years ago here where I was being told the Gophers should expend zero effort on outstate players because they are not worth it and the only talent that matters is in the metro area. It was an offshoot of a...
