Why Can't the Gophers win Fifteen games in 2011?

Don't the Vikings play 8 games or so at TCF next year? One of those has to be against the Gophers, right? That is a for sure W.

Nope Vikes will be under a brand new roof come August 1st.
 


I am trying to be optimistic here and try to see 15 wins on the schedule but I just don't see enough 5 star recruits on our roster to make it happen. Which brings me to my next point....do the rankings matter?

Great question. I would love more opinions on it.
 

GOPHERS SIGN SANDY STEPHENS!

Because it's impossible.

Thank you, highwayman, for bringing this topic to its absurd conclusion. Let's just play the games, and see what happens.

BTW, Gophs will win 9 3/4.:confused:
 

That's ridiculous. Everyone knows the next championship game is in 2012, not 2011.

Btw this is my favorite offseason thread yet. Kudos.

Trade 2012 BCS title game for a definitely Spring game victory and we're all set. Although, we will probably manage to somehow tie ourselves which will make the entire 2011 season a waste. Bring on 2012!
 


I have heard that Glen Mason is the best coach we have had since Cal Stoll.

Glen Mason will remain the best coach since Warmath. Kill will win 8 this season and then 8 next season, so that is merely 16 wins. Well, when the world ends on Dec. 21 2012, Kill will only have 16 Big 10 wins, which is less than Mason, so...Mason is still better than Kill.

Now the real question (and way more important) is how this will affect the recruiting rankings, especially on the classes of 2013. I guess it's important that we lock up as many kids as possible before the end of the world. I know on that night i'm going to be on my computer just updating rivals, scout, and GI.
 


C'mon guys, we all know why the Gophs can't win 15 games this year....

...the maroon on the field doesn't match the maroon on the chairbacks.

Lock up the boarders
 





People realize that there's also no a in the name of the bookstore chain, right?

Or is it some type of absurdist comedy that I'm not getting?
 

I was thinking too that if we get rid of the first down chant, then maybe we could win 15 games.

Lately I have noticed a lot of negative posters like you who don't think you can spell it with an A. I would like to know why you think that.
 

Come now folks there is room for us all. The people who spell it with an A, the people who don't, and everyone in between.

Is a boarder someone who makes or applies boards? If that is the case we may want to think twice about closing them as we do not want to inhibit job growth.

Everyone knows that there is ZERO chance for job growth and/or 15 wins with our current administrations.
 


Is the Rah at the end of the Rouser a positive or negative for winning 15 games?
 

It sure would help if people would stop going on facebook and telling potential recruits that they will never win 15 games here.
 

Zach Vraa is going to have 200 receiving yards against us.......Actually probably not.
 

Two words describe this thread...Psychotic Break

or...Go Gophers!
 

This is the most fun I've had since I ignore listed LonelyIowaGopher!

Look what you've done highwayman. Your negativity by ignoring LonelyIowaGopher has led to an increase in negativity on Gopherhole at large which has permeated the brain of Coach Kill and made him a pessimist while talking to Sid which could, dare I say, cost us a win in 2011 and empty our stadium. Do you really want to be 14-1? Look what've you done to me, look how negative you are being, I am actually considering it possible that we could lose a game in 2011.

More importantly, what kind of impact will this have on our overall star ranking for our 2012 and 2013 recruiting classes?

THE........SKY...........IS........FALLING
 

I had no idea us fans were capable of doing so much damage to the program.
 

My goal has always been to scare away as many 3-star and 4-star recruits as possible, leaving us only the 5-star recruits. However, I would then worry about using up all of our scholarships in 2012 and 2013.
 


Will it take all 15-games for the South Dakota Cheerleaders to look hot?
 

Not sure about the alcohol, but I heard from a credible source that with the extra revenue from the longer season we are installing heating coils under the field
