    Ben Johnson is NOT a disaster....

    Lot of season left and things could go sideways....but from what I have seen to this point I don't see Johnson getting canned at the end of this season. I don't know if he will prove to be the guy but maybe.....just maybe.....he isn't the disaster that some have him pegged to be.

    Chiefs giving off serious Iowa Vibes after last night

    Similar to what happened in our game with Cooper DeJean and the Invalid Fair Catch rule being correctly enforced now the Chiefs are up in arms about the refs having the gal to call a WR for clearly lining up in the neutral zone which took away the awesome TD lateral from Kelce to Toney. If a...

    Thoughts on team as we head into Big Ten games

    Not going to make any predictions on records or if Johnson will be able to save his job. But here is what I have seen through the first handful of games as we head towards Ohio State on Sunday. Offense and depth are light years ahead of where they were last year. This team can score and has a...

    Gutless Playcalling

    I'm finally fully on board with some of the complaints many of you have had about offensive philosophy. The only chance you have to spring an upset against a team like Ohio State is to be aggressive and maximize every possession. I can be ok with the idea of a punt from the opponents 43 if...

    Site performance in browser on a MAC has gotten terrible

    Have been posting to Gopherhole for years, but something changed recently in regards to how the site runs in a browser. My laptop is a MAC - can't open the forums in chrome at all and in safari or firefox the forums open but they use a crazy amount of resources on my computer causing the fan to...

    Big Ten Mess....I mean West

    So in an effort to talk about something other than invalid fair catch signals let's take a look at the West as it stands today. Wisconsin - 3-1 Iowa - 3-2 Minnesota - 2-2 Nebraska - 2-2 Northwestern - 1-3 Purdue - 1-3 Illinois 1-4 When I looked at the West before I felt 6-3 could win it and I...

    Big weekend in regards to the West race

    Division is Iowa's to lose but this weekend will have a big impact on how things play out in the mess that is the Big Ten West. Wisconsin at Illinois Minnesota at Iowa Northwestern at Nebraska Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Purdue all have crossover games left with one of the big three from the...

    After 3 Weeks the West is Still Wide Open

    Loss to North Carolina sucked.....no sugarcoating that.....and based on what we have seen so far it feels unlikely that we upset Ohio State or Michigan. But outside of that....the West is still very much in play as the rest of the teams on our schedule have looked anything but impressive...

    Thoughts on West and Conference as a whole after 2 weeks

    2 games in the books and still a ton of unknowns across the conference. Here is my general take on things 2 games in, curious what others are thinking. In regards to the conference as a whole - Michigan and Penn State are looking like the teams to beat so far. Way too early to count out Ohio...

    For the first time in the PJ Fleck era......

    .....we attempted more than 40 passes in a game. 44 attempts by Athan against Nebraska marks the highest total in any of Fleck's years with the Gophers. We have surpassed 30 a few times and had 39 attempts in the 2019 game with Iowa. You have to go all the way back to the 2016 game with Penn...

    Gopher Sports Bar Recommendations for Watching Home and Road Games

    After many years as season ticket holders my parents made the tough call to give their tickets up this year because getting too and from the games and dealing with the weather at times was getting a bit too difficult. Even though they won't be at the stadium they would still like to be around...

    Football Strategy Discussion - Jacksonville going for 2 last night

    I know this is not Gopher football related but it is the off-season and it would be interesting to hear what others thought of Jacksonville's decision to go for 2 late in the game yesterday. For those that didn't see it: Jacksonville was down 30-20 in the 4th quarter. With 3:22 left in the...

    No call on Mertz on Wisconsin's TD

    Sure it was discussed during the game thread but why wasn't Mertz flagged for his blindside block on Rush during the Reverse that Wisconsin scored on?

    Slow starts on offense and defense

    I am staying away from most of the threads on this board right now because I have no time to waste on the "fire Fleck, burn it all down" crowd that will be doing their happy dance for the next few days. My biggest disappointment yesterday was the slow start on both sides of the ball. This has...

    The Matchup With Iowa

    Debated on making this a thread but going to go ahead and do it. I have already seen posts worrying about how we are going to score on Iowa's defense yet I rarely see people bring up the flip side which is how are they going to score on us? Iowa's defense is very good, there is no doubting...

    Our 5 remaining games are all very winnable

    There is no getting around the fact that the last 3 games have been rough. Injuries, poor play, and many other factors.....have wiped away the first 4 games and put everyone in a foul mood about the season. And that is totally understandable. After 4 weeks we looked like a team that could run...
