    Gambling Corner, Week 9

    Was +19U coming into week 8 and went 3-1 to get to +22U. My betting unit is modest as I do this for fun, but I did buy an iPad this week out of my winnings thus far :-) Hopefully things don't go south, lol! Week 8 Picks 1U: PSU/OSU Over 46.5 (L) 1U: RU -6 @ IU (W) 1U: NW/Neb Under 40 (W) 2U...

    PJ Fleck Postgame Press Conference

    Starts around 23:45. No bad wins in this program -- every win is something to be celebrated. Left a "lot of meat on the bone" on offense. Goal was to establish the run, figure out what they have in the RB room, get the OL dominating. Couldn't do that last week against Neb because the running...

    Gopher FB Classic (2019 Outback Bowl) on BTN right now!

    30 minutes to go...just reached halftime. Amazing memories for me as somebody who attended, but I'm sure anyone would enjoy watching on this cold day! Man, so many incredible plays in the first half. Mo's 20 yard run on 2nd and 16 on the last drive of the half, the 4th and goal pass from Green...

    Flip Dixon to the Portal :-(

    https://247sports.com/college/minnesota/Article/Minnesota-Football-DB-Michael-Dixon-to-enter-the-NCAA-transfer-portal-199531275/ I'm really surprised and bummed by this one. Gotta imagine Nubin coming back impacted this, but he played plenty of snaps this year and the staff was VERY high on...

    Fanbases that feel worse than us...

    I'm still pretty bummed about the loss to Purdue, but misery loves company so I've been pondering which fanbases of major programs probably feel as bad or worse than us right now. Feel free to add to this list and let it help ease your pain as it has mine! MSU: Pretty much dominated by every...

    Purdue Game Thoughts Thread

    Well, the weekend is over and the MSU game and weekly rankings are behind us. PU is in front of the Gophers next. This game looked pretty scary prior to the season (and even after their week 1 tussle with PSU), and while anything could happen any given week in CFB, I feel pretty confident in...

    Week 12 Bowl Projections

    Athlon: Music City vs. Mississippi St (they have PU in the Pinstripe and PSU in Vegas) Pro FB Network: Vegas vs. Oregon St (Iowa in Music City, PSU in Pinstripe, and Purdue in Phoenix) Action Network: Music City vs. Tennessee (PSU in Vegas and PU in Pinstripe) 247: Music City vs. Tennessee (PSU...

    Listen to the Gopher Gridiron Podcast...

    https://audioboom.com/channel/gopher-gridiron-radio I listened to the Gopher Gridiron pod as usual today and found it both cathartic and insightful. All 3 hosts are big fans who get just as frustrated as us with poor play/losses, but they mostly stay level-headed and talk objectively about...

    Share your thoughts on the Iowa game

    A week ago I felt really good about this game and was thinking of attending. Expectations obviously way, WAY down after Illinois, but I still think MN can win. Here's my thoughts: If the MN offense is balanced, throws a lot on 1st down, and takes what Iowa is giving, they should move the ball...

    Purdue Game Predictions

    I'm curious what people think. I'm going with Minnesota 24-20. Defense shuts down the run completely (no surprise against PU) D gets 4 sacks Potts goes for 150 (as usual) Morgan throws for 200 Sanford calls a pass 40% of the time on 1st and 2nd downs More RPO and play-action -- less straight...

    OL Appreciation Thread

    FMLizard posted this in another thread: . I knew they were talented, but I had no idea it was that insane. In light of this info, I think we need to appreciate what the OL did last night. 400 yards of offense, including over 200 on the ground against that talent is super impressive. Morgan...

    All Things 2021 Gophers Football Fall Camp Thread (Tweets, Articles, Videos and more)

    Thought it made sense to have Fall camp news in one place, so feel free to post here if you'd like. Thought I'd kick it off with this gem of a tweet which indicates some meteorologist should check the weather in hell.

    [Post Game] Spring Game Reactions

    Wow, that was FUN! Lots of energy, very clean and quality play, rapid pace, trick plays, and decent production quality from B1G Net. Here's my biggest takeaways: We've got two B1G quality starting QBs. Both made multiple quality throws. Morgan looked loads better than fall 2020. Annexstad...

    After the disastrous loss in College Park, who would've thought the Gophers would be in the bowl mix late in the year? Here's what I found this afternoon: ESPN: TransPerfect Music City Bowl Nissan Stadium (Nashville, Tennessee) 3:30 p.m. on ESPN and the ESPN App Bonagura: Minnesota vs...

    One year ago today: #17 MN, 31 : #4 PSU, 26

    Don't play this video unless your chili is somewhat cool. If it's already hot, you're in danger of having it boil over -- or, as Mike Grimm said, "go nuclear."

    OL Appreciation Thread

    Brian Callahan, we salute you. Down two starters -- both of whom are returning All-Conference players and NFL prospects -- this OL continues mauling. Mo is on a historic rushing pace, and despite the fact he's clearly VERY good, you have to pat the OL on the back. They're consistently running...
