    1982 vs 2023. Which collapse was worse?

    Which collapse was worse? Yes, each was outstanding in its own way, but its an interesting comparison. In 1982, the Gophers were coming off a strong 6-5 season in a competitive Big Ten under Joe Salem. They blasted their first three opponents in such a way that they were in the Top 20 and...

    When you have you now have....

    The only thing to focus on left is simply to get win #9, finish 9-4, and hoist a trophy. Many wish it could have been different, but we got what we got. Just get win #9 and finish 9-4, declare victory, and get ready for 2022.

    Now we all know what a Michigan message board.....

    ....would have looked like after the 1977 loss to Minnesota. Maybe worse even. 6-3 and 4-2 and tied for first with three to go. You never know what team is gonna show each week, but I'll take where we are right now over many other scenarios. I expect a strong effort vs Iowa.

    A couple random thoughts.....

    First, we need to get people healthy. I think if Winfield plays last week and today we are 5-0. Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game, but he is that good. Secondly, Once Rhoda became the unquestioned starting quarterback, I wonder if some of his edge is gone. Competition creates a sense...

    The Transition

    I could be mistaken, but I don't think the transition to Fleck will be nearly as difficult or severe for the strong majority of the team as people might fear. Here's why..... Jerry Kill built his teams on having a strong culture, so that notion is not foreign to those recruited by him. That...

    As the Fleck Era begins.....

    Let's all start supporting our new coach and the kids. There is great promise here, and its actually refreshing to see the U actually step up and compete financially for a strong coach. That hasn't been done since....Williams was first hired in 1900???? At the same time, its also time to thank...

    What a bummer......

    Here we are....on the verge of playing in a very nice Bowl Game after an 8-4 season. We should be enjoying the holidays as fans, getting set for some fun football. This should be a very happy time for us Gopher fans. Instead, just thinking about the program right now is very depressing. Its...

    Tom Tuttle from Tacoma, WA

    Possible 4-way tie for first

    I know we cannot win the tie-breaker to go to Indy, but if Iowa can take Nebraska and if we can beat Wisconsin, there will be a four-way tie for first place in the BIG West. At this point, I think we'd all take a co-championship (along with the axe).

    After watching the happenings in College Station.....

    I suddenly feel a whole lot better about the Gophers' quarterback situation going forward than the one in Aggieland. Isn't it funny how things can turn in this sport in such a short period of time? I think the fellow that'll play in the bowl for them will show maturity and leadership, which is...

    And the "Season from Hell" is over

    There have been a few bright spots, but let's face it. This season has been a perfect storm of crap that happened to this team. The silver lining was their effort and the experience gained. Next season starts now....thank goodness

    Tonight is history. Let's win out

    Enough of tonight already. The last three games have been one big blur....playing three tough teams with a depleted roster and having a chance to win at the end of each. I think these kids have proven they can play with anyone. Now, its a new season. Illinois and Wisconsin. Get them up at TCF...
