    No problem, I have a Master's in Ex Phys, but it was earned a LONG time ago.

    Daniel Kelly: Gophers’ QB Drake Lindsey Leaves Lasting Impression

    OK. but will not breathing, perhaps, cause him to run slower? Yes, sprinting is anaerobic, and enhancing his VO2Max will not be associated with him sprinting faster.

    Daniel Kelly: Gophers’ QB Drake Lindsey Leaves Lasting Impression

    Let's hope so. Maybe it's a lack of "escapability." I do have an untested and unproven hypothesis. I keep thinking about that TD run he had into the west endzone at the Bank. If his grandfather was an NFL running back there is a good possibility that Drake has inherited some fast twitch muscle...

    Daniel Kelly: Gophers’ QB Drake Lindsey Leaves Lasting Impression

    Interesting tread. My problem wirh him is that he is slow as hell. There is no cure for that. He will always struggle with a good pass rush (as will of lot of college QB's), and he cannot make a play with his feet. It would be nice if we were able to protect him well enough so that his lack of...

    2026 World Cup Thread

    Excuse me, but I never played soccer. At the end of 90 minutes when a side ref holds up the electronic board to indicate the amount of stoppage time, is it conventional to light a red or green number? I know that it makes no differece, just curious.

    Shama: Indiana Football Success Hangs Over Gopher Program

    Well I was alive when the Gophers went to the Rose Bowl. But I think that I had just turned 5 when they played the second time. NO MEMORY OF IT! Damn!! I do recall my dad a few years later angrily complaning that for the first game vs. Washington we won that toss and elected to kick! Washington...

    ANNUAL GOPHERHOLE PICTORIAL COUNTDOWN TO GOPHERS SEASON OPENER 2026!

    I've written this before but I bumped into Curt Wilson on the UNLV campus about 20 years ago. We chatted for a minute, but it was clear that the loved Bob Stein and Stein's mom. Wilson said that Stein's mother put in all kinds of effort to make the African-American players feel at home and...

    Scoggins: Gophers’ Mike Grimm hosts voices of the Big Ten for fellowship and fun

    Grimm is a proud Luther College alum, as am I. I was about 12-15 years ahead of him but did manage to introduce myself to him when the hoops team played in tournament at UNLV. It was the year that Monson got fired during the season. Grimm was friendly and cordial, and gained a new fan on that day.

    ANNUAL GOPHERHOLE PICTORIAL COUNTDOWN TO GOPHERS SEASON OPENER 2026!

    Is that the game where Mike Sherrils (sp) blocked the field goal attempt at the end to save the game on the final play? I'm listening to the game on the radio and Dave Lee's description of what has happened is so unclear that I'm lost. Finally the other Dave steps in and says, "the game is over...

    ANNUAL GOPHERHOLE PICTORIAL COUNTDOWN TO GOPHERS SEASON OPENER 2026!

    One of my uncles is a U of M School of Dentistry alum. Several times I heard him tell the story of playing a pick-up volleyball game at one of the campus gyms. Aaron Brown and some football players were there and joined in. Uncle Chuck said that Aaron was a very nice guy and "took it easy" on...

    Four Commits from Moorhead with the new commitment of CB Zac Walker

    Mathematically I'm sure that this is correct. But I don't think that had we only offered 3 and instead offered someone else from another school with the 4th scholarship increases our odds of these players becoming contributors.

    All Things Gophers Football at Washington Road Trip Thread

    Did a Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver trip a few years ago. Beautiful. A small Victoria park provided me with a memory... There was a big lock box clearly marked for disposal of drug paraphenalia (sp). Right next to it was a big sign, "Absolutely No Smoking in the Park!"

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    C'mon the kid is 20 years old. How much fun is it to drink at home at that age?? Drinking at home is what 50 year old guys with a beer gut do. But please be wise enough to not drink and drive.

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    I'm cutting him some slack. I could not find a recent paper that I read but the human brain does not not appear to fully develop until the late 20's, or possibly the mid 30's. So, all those dumb things that we did (and Drake) were not our fault, our brains had just not fully developed:)...

    SIAP - Gopher Filmroom

    I remember coaches saying not to spin until you make contact. I've also heard commentators in TV say that if is OK to spin before contact, IF you are really quick. Taylor quick, me, not so much. My coach knew what he was talking about.

    Being in your early 40s is weird, man. People around your age are in every stage of life. You have people who are grandparents. Some with newborns.

    Yep, there are people who are close to retiring (if they have done very well), and other who are still wondering what to do with their professional lives. Ain't this life something?

    This is another good form tackle. He accelerates as he makes the hit, explodes into the guy, wraps him up and keeps his feet moving. That principal played football.https://www.fox9.com/news/oklahoma-principal-stops-gunman
