You are absolutely correct. Michael-Brown also took that targeting headshot on the sidelines and I was glad to see him back this week. That one needed to be called targeting just like when he was seemingly knocked out vs. Ohio State. That one still makes my blood boil big time.
Pot, meet kettle
MBS seems to take a hard blow to the helmet every other week. It is especially enraging that no flags are ever thrown for the hits he takes.
Actually 5,200 yards over four years. But at his press conference after the game, PJ said not a surprise to see him score because "he ran for something like 70,000 yards in high school." LOL.
Those guys are going to be big for us next year. But let the record show that Cappy broke tackles or otherwise bounced off or blasted through about eight of Fitz' finest on that run. Wasn't much blocking involved.
It is a true testament to how good our O-Line has been that it doesn't really seem to matter who we put back there. Kind of reminds me of Wisconsin when Ron Dayne was there. Dayne was not a great RB, but that O-Line was awesome and gave Dayne time to get some momentum going. Once that bowling ball got started he was super hard to bring down because he was so strong.
And supposedly that's the career record for the state of Wisconsin? It seems low (obviously that's a lot of yards, just low for the record). For comparison, MN has 12 guys with more career yards according to this: https://www.mnfootballcoaches.com/page/show/2273558-individual-rushing-records
Wasn’t Dino a WR in high school? Obviously a D1 athlete is a great athlete, but I would expect the emergency RB to have experience as an RB (like LeCaptain).
Makes a big difference for practices (you work hard), meetings (you listen), you see other players (you lift them up with encouragement), and you have no issues studying for school as you're happy.
And as long as that posting activity doesn't spill over to this forum, my blood pressure will stay normal!
My wife brought up that she saw he held some record in twitter. I briefly looked through the Wisconsin records and didn't see him listed nor his stats being high enough for any record.
Hats off to thee. I don't understand why people have to take pot shots at each other on this forum because of their disagreements elsewhere.
Yeah I’ve seen several people say he had the record.
His Gophers profile says yards from scrimmage
Thank you! That doesn't appear to be a record that is tracked (that I could find). It also makes more sense that Burns and Fleck were referencing a 7XXX yard number as that is probably his yards from scrimmage total.
Versus this culture.
I don't understand the analogy.
Just a lame joke, not making fun of LeCaptain but just the exaggerated statement of running 70,000 yards. If you never saw the movie, Forest Gump was a guy who never stopped running.
He gets carries in Kramer's Wildcat package. He becomes the crasher when Cole hands off and the lead blocker when the Cat keeps it. Look for Cappy to play a big role.
Gopher D once stuffed Ron Dayne four straight carries from 2-yards out.
Yes, I saw the movie. Thanks, understand.
Fleck said that with a smile. He tossed out a rediculous number as a way of saying, "this guy can play."
Yes, I admire LeCaptain and over course am pulling for him. Don't want my stupid joke to be taken the wrong way.
Not calling anyone out specifically. I believe I speak for many posters here that this is an escape from all of the nonsense spewing out of people regardless of what end of the spectrum they fall on. I'm not wishy-washy about such matters either!
I missed the game due to being in a deer blind. Was Walley the guy who made the interception and touchdown? If so, was it given to him or did he make a play?
