    Next year's starting 5

    Who are the likely starters (and backups): PG Marcus Carr (Isiah Washington) SG Gabe Kalscheur (Payton Willis) SF Amir Coffey (Tre Williams) PF Eric Curry (Jarvis Omersa/Michael Hurt) C Daniel Oturu (?) So they appear to need a backup center (potential JUCO?) and depth/upgrade at PF...

    Fresh start. This means .....

    Coyle wanted a re-boot, so the first thing was a new HC hire. But Fleck will also want a fresh start, as does every new HC. This will likely mean: - "tanking" year 1 - not literally, but PJF will be looking to build for the future, probably peaking in year 4 just in time for contract extension...

    Demry Croft now likely to be 2017 starting QB

    With Seth Green and Mark Williams on the suspension list, Demry Croft is by default the Gophers starting QB next year, right? The Spring game will be interesting ..... with only one QB on the roster, how will the scrimage work? New QB recruit doesn't come in until Fall, I am assuming. I thought...

    Unranked P5 team @ 8-3

    I think North Carolina and the Gophers are the only unranked P5 teams with a 8-3 record. LSU @ 6-4 should drop out of Top 25. Might the Gophs be ranked Top 25 next week?

    Gophers are listed at 1 pt underdogs against Northwestern

    I thought it would be the other way around, that Gophers would be 1 pt favorite. Wow! How did the program perception change so quickly.

    Interest in the program is high, yet many are calling for TC's job. Why???

    - Gophers are 7-2, and on a 4 game win streak yet many are suggesting TC should be fired - Expectations are high; i.e. the program is winning, just not sufficient for some fans. But we are Minnesota, not Oregon, Nebraska .... not even the status of a Michigan State. Why are expectations now so...

    Encouraging win but .....

    Looking at all the W's the Gophers have put up ... Oregon St - currently 2-5 Indiana St - 4-5 Colorado St - 4-5 Maryland - played their 2nd string, true frosh QB Rutgers - played their new QB starting his 1st game Illinois - played their 3rd string QB I guess this means that the Gophers beat...

    Penalties

    I remember when Jerry Kill was the HC, the Gophers would be one of the least penalized teams in the BIG. Under TC, something has obviously changed. And it is hurting the team. For those who have gone to their open practices under both Kill and Claeys, have you noticed anything different that...

    Is passing accuracy something that can be coached?

    Asking mostly about Seth Green since TC mentioned how Green needs to improve his accuracy. But I suppose this would also apply to Mitch Liedner. So, for the football aficianados out there, is passing accuracy something that can be improved through coaching? Or is it simply putting the QB in a...

    Time to start looking fora new head coach

    I wanted to like Pitino. Seems like a good coach .... but you can't argue with the lack of results. Last year's team was chalk full with experience yet did not even make the NIT. This year losing to 2 South Dakota teams. Time for a new HC. Comparing little Pitino to Tubby who had a bare...

    If Gophers go to a bowl, who would coach the offense?

    There would be no one to coach the OL. No one to coach Leidner. Who will call the offensive plays? Did TC fire Limegrover and QB coach too soon???

    Is there a stream for tonight's game?

    I don't get the BTN. Any chance there might be a stream of the game?

    Recruiting strategy

    I am puzzled with the recruiting strategy. The Gophs have signed: Austin Hollins - 3 star, 6'4" SG Elliot Eliason - 3 star, 6'11" C Maurice Walker - 3 star, 6'10" PF Oto Osenieks - no star, 6'9" PF Power forwards First off, I would be more excited if Royce was coming back but with double O's...
