  1. Great Plains Gopher

    In the Gophers 3 Big Ten loses this season, Minnesota has been out scored 125-19.

    PJ should let his hair grow out. Like Samson in the Bible, he has lost his strength.

    Post Game Thread: Oregon Fumbles TD, Blows Out Gophers

    It seemed to me that the Oregon crowd and the team were taking it out on us for their bad showing at Iowa. The crowd never stopped roaring at every Gopher play. The Gophers can't compete with the top third of the present B10. This is the ninth year and they should have 4 and 5* players by this time.

    Was this a fumble?

    Right, he did not have control of the ball when he crossed the scoring line.
  4. Great Plains Gopher

    If the blue bloods left for a "super league", who would be hurt more, them or the also-rans like us?

    Unless Congress or the courts stop this madness, inevitably most 1A teams will drop out because of the financial burden and the inherent unfairness in a buy-your-players system. The Gophers would end up with something like N. Dakota State in Fargo, which wouldn't be bad - smaller stadium, which...

    I want this for Minnesota football

    Bravo! Rick Atkinson's "Liberation" trilogy on the army in WWII and Ian Toll's navy Pacific War trilogy are also superb - real page-turners (Toll puts you right on the heaving carrier, heat and humidity, the night time skies, the fear, the bravery - the big sea battles, the island landings). I...

    Gopher uniforms @ Oregon

    White uniforms are totally blah, but I notice more teams are wearing them this year for road games - can't understand why. Get the school colors into every game, home or road, and no ugly charcoal at home, which is worse than all-whites. We have three colors the designers can play with: maroon...

    If Taylor is ready for the Ducks, do we play him or do we save him for "winnable" games?

    With only three games left, play him - which is what he wants and what fans want. The more time he spends running, the fewer points Oregon's offense runs up.

    Two Schools Are Reportedly Considering Leaving The Big Ten

    This greed is killing college football - the insane portal, where kids may play at 3 or 4 schools; the NIL and pay-for-play lunacies - which most schools will not be able to afford and which is totally unfair to individual students and to most schools. It will lead to a small true professional...

    Week 11 Other Games Thread

    He was amazing. Raiola can't run, which makes the difference - Lateef hit 13 of 15 (3 TDs) and ran for 31, often escaping tacklers to complete a pass. Emmett Johnson (who should be a Gopher) had 129 running and 103 receiving for 232 total. How did the Gophers hold the Huskers to two field goals...

    Neal: Gophers’ unimpressive victory was survival rather than a bounceback

    Gophers don't look good on offense when Darius is out of the game because they become one-dimensional - they need depth at running back. Defense has been scrappy in almost every game (Iowa?)

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Gutsy in Comeback Win, Bowl Eligible!

    Anyone watching the game on TV would think Rossi was the head coach at MSU. They had the camera on him relentlessly - rubbing it in or what?

    FIRE GREG HARBAUGH

    We should have Emmett Johnson, who leads the B10 in rushing and is #2 in the nation at nearly 6 yards per carry. A Minnesota "Mr. Football" from Minneapolis, he wasn't recruited by PJ, yet wanted to play here. Recruiting is the problem.

    Black Uniforms against MSU

    White on the road, black at home. Ugh. Whatever happened to the school colors - maroon and gold. They are the colors of Autumn and look great in many configurations. Black, white, ugh.

    We stink.

    Yes, this was the worst...real pain.

    In hindsight, this outcome is not that surprising. This is Mark Gronowski's sixth year as a starting college QB.

    Yes, you'd think in the ninth year the program would be going somewhere, but PJ is coaching 2 and 3* players when he needs 4 and 5* players. Drake, Koi and Marius are up there, but we need a team of them to take on the big boys. Recruiting is the issue in the 9th year, and now that players are...

    Fleck: “I’m proud of our players fight. We didn’t turn the ball over which is really positive for us…We have a really good football team though.”

    Gophers likely will not win more than two of the remaining four games and they will have to fight and scrap to do that, with Wisconsin and Mich. State best hopes for wins. They play badly on the road, so N'Western and Oregon are likely losses, Oregon a big one. 7-5 season - win the bowl and it's...
