Definitely a win is a win. However as far as the program goes, you want to see improvement game to game, year to year. The most frustrating thing about this season has been the lack of improvement, especially for people who want this team to take another step, like the folks on this board. It’s...

The line was close, according to GH it must have been a huge upset.😃 Minnesota -3.5 at game time.

That is Bizarre, even for Pat.

The fact that 3 of the losses were close to (or were) historically bad in the last 10 years. To go along with the upset loss to Cal, and scrambling close victories kind of leave a bad taste overall, at least for me. Blocking and tackling is football and both have been deficient this season.

They had a few players ejected as did opponents, that was the first year(s) of that rule and obviously there was an adjustment period. Tackling has been fine under Fleck, but this year has been weak.

Speaking of Iowa To me the biggest difference is their tackling is way better, especially this season. They also don’t seem to get out of position to allow big plays. Their offensive line is better, good backs, and a tough QB, the talent gap this year is more than a little, in my opinion.

That Capri thing is spot on, should not be on the sideline in my opinion. Eric Von Rooyan(sp?) wears them on the PGA tour. I know he is a U guy but man, it just bugs me…….now get off my lawn!!

Makes me feel a little better, believe me I’m trying to be optimistic, but realistic.

significant factor, as they travel to play Northwestern at Wrigley Field. Minnesota’s offensive struggles are apparent, ranking 96th in passing yards and 121st in rushing yards nationally. Wow, 121st Nationally, I didn’t realize it was quite that bad, denial is not only a river in Egypt. With...

Not even if we ask Santa, Coach. He is 100% correct, of course, kind of a no brainer, and I am qualified to make that observation.

It’s hard to justify optimism for this game. Minnesota has probably played 1 game where it would be a slam dunk win. 4 that would be slam dunk losses and 4 that would be 50/50 at best. My faith in the 2025 squad is pretty low.

Note: Game 3 is Georgia Tech.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. That’s what I say.

Since Wacker there have only been 3 seasons with 3 similar conference losses by margin of loss. Plus these 3 games were all over early. Hard to get optimistic when you have those types of losses.

Not trying to be a putz, but it was 5 turnovers.

As Denny Green might say: “We are who we are, not what we want to be”. The ceiling seems to have met the Minnesota Gopher Football Program.

Last night they never showed it at normal speed. A slow motion possess and control.I think it was a fumble, the ball was sort of attached to him, but he wasn’t really controlling it, in my opinion.

Both Wisconsin and NW look more formidable than the local lads, sorry to say. But it’s early.
