    Gophers vs West Virginia in Guaranteed Rate Bowl

    Bowl payouts do matter as to how much each team can spend and the amenities and gifts, etc. The bigger the payout the larger the entourage a team can bring and spend more money while they are there. Essentially the profits left over are split amongst the teams but what teams spend at each bowl...

    Brief MN mentions in "Inside WI Recruiting" from The Athletic

    It is well known that Chryst, Ferentz, and Fitzgerald are close and have a lot of mutual respect for each other. I think it is fair to say none of them like Fleck. Fitzgerald had some comments about this earlier this year in a press conference before their game with Iowa or Wisconsin. It will...

    Gophers vs West Virginia in Guaranteed Rate Bowl

    UW played in Tampa in 2019 also as they opened the season at South Florida. Was that a reason they were not chosen? Vegas is odd because the basketball team just played in Vegas tournament over Thanksgiving. Doubt those fans are going to travel again. Most UW fans wanted Vegas instead of...

    Fleck Post Game Press Conference

    Fans are clamoring for accountability from Fleck, offensive coaches, and Morgan. This press conference gave me the impression that Fleck does not see a problem with any of these areas. Seems that Fleck is tone deaf. Is he really traveling home feeling like another step in progress has...

    Fleck Post Game Press Conference

    Watch this whole thing. Fleck basically blames players. Coaches coached well and called a great game but "need to make plays" Gets asked about Morgan and basically blames WR for drops or not getting balls in their "catch radius". 5th Year and he mentions moral victory and progress because...

    Chip: Fleck's big task will be maintaining this season's energy for Gophers football

    Northwestern had energy last year and lost it real fast this year!

    Chip: Fleck's big task will be maintaining this season's energy for Gophers football

    To maintain that energy, we need a better non-conference schedule to generate interest and energy earlier. Wisconsin went with this model early under Alvarez. They scheduled perennial top 10 Colorado for two years in a row. They got destroyed in both games but it created interest. Sometimes...

    Reusse: Fleck realizes you can fool most of the people some of the time, and Gophers fans nearly all of the time

    How does Fleck not win coach of the year in the Big Ten with the season they had? The coaches recognized his job was much tougher than Ohio St. But the media in many Big Ten cities do not like Fleck. He gives the media no answers only his prepared message full of analogies and metaphors.

    How is Oregon 13??

    The worst part is that if Utah beats Oregon and makes the playoff then Oregon still gets to play in the Rose Bowl? They will drop further, have a bad resume, and will still get to play in the Rose Bowl. Thanks to having your AD as the committee chair

    Any shot at Rose Bowl?

    No way they are selecting the gophers over four other Big Ten Teams ranked higher. 0%

    Reusse: Fleck realizes you can fool most of the people some of the time, and Gophers fans nearly all of the time

    I was a little offended by Fleck's post game presser. Main reason for loss.... Repeatedly said that "we did not make the plays". That 100% insinuates that the fault is on the players even if it may not have been entirely what he meant. Then when question on punting in first quarter he stated...

    Crazy how ball bounces...what if?

    Northwestern won the west division last year with 8-1 record. Added a 5* QB transfer and went 1-8 in the west division this year.

    Gameday set location

    I don't believe game day has ever been indoors. There is no way that would work out

    Gameday set location

    I don't think many understand how big this set is and the area it takes. Many places it cannot fit near stadium. The interesting part is that will be gone by the time the game is over. The Mall is the obvious place that makes the most sense but because it has not been announced yet, it leads...
