Unfortunately, MTSU kicked our asses in the 2nd half. They figured out our defensive weaknesses (run outside, mis-direction, throw the ball down field and up high cause they'll never look back, etc.). If upcoming opponents study that second half, I'm afraid we're in for some tough games!

After watching the game last night, have your opinions changed on how the Gophers will fare this year? Personally, I think 5 or 6 wins is the best they can do. I wouldn't be surprised if they only win 4 games. I expected the team to look better. Assuming he can pass, I think Streveler...

I'm surprised I haven't seen this discussed at all on GH after the Wisconsin game (which is probably because I'm off base here). Perhaps I was hallucinating or not paying close enought attention, but early on in the game I got the distinct impression that our Offensive Line was getting good...

Go Gophers. "You're better than you think you are".

my daughter would like to take her boyfriend to his first game @ TCF for his birthday. She's paying for these so she could only afford face value or a little over. they're only 17 and my daughter wants to go to the "U" next year so you'd be helping a future Gopher. Thanks.

On Big Ten Live, in discussing whether Minnesota will be able to run on Michigan, the analyst opined we will not be able to run effectively on Saturday. He then stated that our offense was "too simple and one-dimensional". Also, a blurb at screen bottom said we are ranked 108th in nation with...

Do you believe Ricardo Johnson would be a successful starting quarterback for the Golden Gophers?

It's not an over reaction to feel that "explore my options" is code language for "...I'm doubting my decision a great deal". In fact, if you look back at all the times this has happened, what percentage of the time do you think we end up losing the recruit? My guess is over 80% of the time...

Didn't Norwood Teague just extend Tubby's contract less than a year ago? Now he fires him. If this is accurate, I don't understand why people aren't screaming about Teague's decision making. How is this any better than the decisions Maturi made with Monson and Mason? Are you giving Teague a...

I was at the game last night, sitting in perhaps the best seats in the entire stadium. Center court, 7th row. My point being that I had a very good look at what transpired last night. It seemed to me that the difference in the game came down to Trevor Mbakwe, more team intensity, desire and...

Here's what I see: Out of Shape Lackadaisical Lazy No spirit Don't enjoy playing basketball Depressed Don't care very much Pathetic No sense of urgency No passion I'm afraid to shoot I don't know what to do

Name a current or former college quarterback of whom Philip Nelson reminds you. So far, who does he resemble and what do you think his upside is? Recently, I've had good, long looks at Matt Barkley, Collin Klein, Seth Doege and Taylor Martinez. Not sure if I "see" Philip in any of those...

....that for the next several years Jerry Kill and his staff continue to bring in non-Minnesota kids with overall talent levels equal to (but not greater than) the levels they successfully recruited at their previous stops (Northern and Southern, IL). Let's also assume they're able to bring in...

For those who understand and enjoy the x's and o's of football, I have a question. There seems to be a consensus that the Gopher's defense is much improved and pretty good. I'm hesitant to join that consensus because, if I'm honest, I don't understand the nuances of the game, schemes, etc...

...the Gophers are a good basketball team once again. Whether it's due to the competition or otherwise, they are a completely different team now. Rodney is a fabulous player. Eliason is a huge asset. Austin Hollins is a cool cookie. Dre is the real deal. Count me in as one very impressed...
