John John Michael Schmitz says hello. Ko Kieft says what's up? And Aireontae Ersery will be saying ciao next year.

I viewed via television. (I live in Tampa.) It appeared that Max began the game a little overexcited and needed to bring his emotions into check. He did that over the course of the game and that's a self-correcting issue in any event -- no one stays excited forever. Looked like he went...

We rushed for 2.4 yards per carry. That's a significant difference than Taylor toting it for 6 yards per carry -- and that, right there, is the single largest dynamic of the game. This team is dependent on Taylor, period. Brosmer was definitely uncomfortable out there. That said, when...

100% correct. This is exactly why there is such a focus on the SHORT passing game this year. ONE WAY to force an alignment with two safeties is to compel fear of leaving either of two primary receivers in single coverage. That was 2019. We likely don't have personnel to do that this year...

I do.

Ok. Back from a day-long meeting. Sorry to be absent, not trying to be dramatic or anything. Why did I say what I’ve said? Permit me to defend it along two avenues: (1) reason; (2) hints. ---Reason--- If it is not too much trouble, may I play offensive coordinator for you? Here’s how the...

I think the Gophers are going to run a West Coast offense. This will force the opposing defense to play Cover-2. When the opposing defense aligns in Cover-2, we will have equal numbers at the line of scrimmage -- and we will hand the ball to Taylor, and he will gash them. Then the defense...

My primary concern is linebacker depth. Cody has really never stayed healthy. And should he go down, does that spell disaster as it did last season? Big picture: -Will the Gophers be AT LEAST able to pass OPPORTUNISTICALLY, i.e., (i) on non-passing downs, (ii) when favorable defensive...

What part of Florida is your restaurant in? I'm in Tampa. ...I'd stop by some time if you're within a halfway reasonable range.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pa7AGs2uRXw God forbid we actually post about the team.

Absolutely fantastic. Congratulations, Jah! You've earned everything you've attained thus far. ...And you will attain FAR more! May God continue to bless you.

Got a good feeling about this. Real good.

Totally agree that Hawkins would penetrate the lane, scramble the defense and then identify his passing opportunity. It was fun to watch, and very effective at times. In fact, I think it would get more effective as the players developed more and more chemistry. ...But, alas. I think you...

Who identified a certain point guard in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, despite his being too small and unproven at the high-major level? Oh. That's right. The coach that clearly knows nothing about basketball. Now that he's been seen playing at the high-major level, he's a commodity...

I think all of this is an opportunity. It doesn't matter that the Gophers don't have a history of championships, or a state of the art arena, or a celebrity coach, or the very best facilities, or an academic reputation on par with Stanford. And so on. Just produce the $$. That's doable. $$...

I'm nervous about linebacker -- based on last year, the Gophers are perilously thin there. Maybe the staff knows something I don't. But I would have prioritized bringing in a transfer. Not sure I understand the thought process that led them away from that.

Big picture, I think this is good news. You don't need the best arena. You don't need the best facilities. You don't need the best academic offerings. You don't need a history of championships. You don't need a famous coach. You don't need anything other than money. That's opportunity...

Jack jones, May I ask: from memory, it seems that there were several occasions in which the left guard and center seemed out of sync with one another in pass protection. As in, they'd each pass a blitzing LB or stunting DL to each other, as though each one was expecting the other one to handle...

Tom Waddle... My brother had a theory that Waddle didn't actually exist. According to his theory, every week a random fan got to dress up as "Tom Waddle" and live out his dream, hence explaining "Waddle's" extraordinary play despite his obvious lack of any athletic capacity at all! It's a...

Holy shit. 11 years of lurking. May I ask: are you, by chance, employed by a certain three-letter agency?
