Of something special………..Now we kinda all realize it was the absolute peak. 2020 was just a weird covid year….. I do wonder how last year would have played out if Mo never got hurt, could have been a special year? What if this season CRAB never got hurt this season Or Mo didn’t miss the Purdue game? That’s all stuff that keeps me up at night. But hey every team has to deal with injuries. But we literally lost our 2 biggest offensive players back 2 back years.
 

2019 was definitely the outlier. Hard to argue that. Next year could be the low point of the Fleck era unless we somehow get a lot better recruits and a lot better coaching.
 


We are going to stink for next year and for years to come. Have you seen next year's schedule? We are playing top teams all year and will get throttled and embarrassed easily in several games on national TV (and will be laughed at by recruits and others). What recruits and in the portal are we going to get? No one. Who would want to come here when they see we don't have any QBs, any WRs or a RB after Mo that's even in the same stratosphere as him? Not to mention a defense that is going to lose a ton of talent.

Add in the fact that USC and UCLA will be here and more in just a couple years and you can kiss even going to low bowl games goodbye. Fire Fleck and get in someone who knows how to coach. Get in an offensive coordinator who doesn't run his RB into the ground like we do now. Get one who can actually get QBs who can actually throw and WRs and TEs who can catch. Get a defensive coordinator who can get some depth behind his first stringers. Get a special teams coordinator who can actually get a real kicker and can make a kick and doesn't make you hold your breath on chip shot field goals and extra points. Get a punter who can actually punt and flip the field every once in a while.

The Gophers are doomed for years to come. They have no good recruits coming in (when was the last one who even committed anyway? Like July?) and some are even leaving when they see how we can't beat a team with a record above .500. We will lose to Wisconsin and get crushed in our bowl game no matter where or when it is. They have a nearly impossible schedule next year and in the coming years with UCLA, USC, and freaking Alabama on the upcoming schedules. They don't have a coach or coaches who know how to coach pee wee kids. Face it. We are doomed to be in the basement and doormat for the rest of eternity.

UCLA is nothing special, USC did nothing for 15 years but are on rise now.
 

Well, the team can still end up 9-4 when it's all done. The Gophers are right there with the rest of the mediocre West Division. There's still hope they can take the next step. Maybe it will finally happen or maybe not, but we might as well give Fleck around the 10 years Mason had.
 

Bottom line. If you want better players, you have to go out and buy them.

Period. that is the way the game is played today.

Bucky Irving is having a big season for Oregon because they bought him.

Gophers need to go out and buy some more explosive offensive talent.

by any means necessary.
 




Next year we will be just fine. Will start slow due to young QB and young RB but will finish strong. Athan’s JR and SR years will be special.
I remember when I firmly believed Marqueis would lead us to glory.

Define "special"...

UMN donation base is weak as hell probably because the teams let the fans down year after year.

I will for you Bonin on 1 condition, you replay this post when it happens.

Jr year- 10 win season and BIG West title. Bowl W.
Sr year- 11 win season and BIG title. Bowl W.

Feel free not to watch or comment about the games then.

So we get half a win then!

That will never be a thing. Sorry.

You can simply look at Minnesota's stadium and crowds, and then look at the stadiums and crowds that Ohio St, Michigan, and Penn State have. For that matter, the stadiums and crowds that Iowa, Wisconsin, and Nebraska have!


We will never, never, never, ever "outspend" any other major Big Ten program. Don't waste your time thinking that way.
