    I think Max will get a longer look next pre-season, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings looked for a veteran to be the primary back-up. Max's arm is stronger than I thought it would be and he's a better runner than I thought he would be (he got to do neither in his time with the...

    He has his issues, but that was a big-time throw by Brosmer to Jefferson to get the first.

    Starting today. O-line is a sieve so he's having to make quick adjustments. Ran 12 yards for a first down (another thing we didn't see him be able to showcase as a Gopher). Only flaw I am seeing today (and I saw it in the Seahawks game) is that he is sailing some of his throws.

    Oh come, all ye faithful. Watch another oddball bowl game! Cal v. Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl. BTW, I did sing all four verses of "Oh come, all ye faithful" earlier this evening semi-in tune.

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    Agree. Next to QBs (or maybe even more than QBs), WRs really want the ball and they will go to places where they think they will get the ball.

    Jackson may have caught less balls if there would have been a true #1 on the squad, but he may have been even more effective. He clearly had skills. I did love watching him play. Tough and great in winning contested balls.

    That play against the Badgers will always be cemented in my memory as well The Bateman/Johnson 1/1A combo will be really difficult to replicate and we have to accept that as Gopher fans. I doubt we will ever be tOSU that seems to run a first-round draft pick or two out at the WR position every...

    As I've watched McCarthy this season, he's reminding me a lot of Brett Favre (especially during his early career). McCarthy trusts his arm and his body way too much right now (and his arm is not as strong as Favre's, but McCarthy can actually spell his own name so there is a trade-off). There...

    Well, that's not going to get him hired.

    When you look around the NFL and see some of the 2nd/3rd-string QBs that have been forced into action, it makes me think that Brosmer has a shot to stick around for a few years. I think about guys like Tim Boyle who managed to hang around the league for 6 years, guys like Aiden O'Connell (who...

    Brosmer looked a lot more composed than in his first start, which is understandable. He managed to get off a few throws that he would have swallowed in the game against the Seahawks.

    I have to give James Madison some credit. No doubt they had attitude to the end of the game. Always nice to see posing when you're down 40. But they played tough and were just outmanned. I think Harbaugh has to study some of what James Madison was doing. Inventive playcalling. Of course...

    Kiiling time before Oregon/James Madison and witnessed Nick Siriani using the Bielema card and goes for two up 17 with four-and-a-half minutes left and Washington playing with a QB who hadn't thrown a pass all season until today.

    I ducked out to go to Target. Who got targeted? Miami WR or Texas A&M WR?

    With A&M it's all about their defense. Reed is a so-so QB but can cause problems with his running ability.

    Wide running plays don't work anymore either, but you still see them called and result in little or no yardage. Good defenses are just so fast.

    It's a really odd Alabama team. Offense doesn't look good at all. A lot of talent at WR, but Simpson's not nearly the level of QB they have had in the past decade or so. He just seems to indecesive at times. Defense is really good as usual. I don't think they beat IU, but it could be a...

    Maybe the OU kicker should wear longer pants.
