Great work detailing all the passes! I agree with those who have said he throws fastballs too much, but based on your list, I think only #27 & 28 fall in that category. That said, both of those drops were completely on the WR, not AK's fault. Those drops also were indicative of something bad...

Well, I wouldn't say the Gophers have done nothing. Offense has been inconsistent, but our D has been solid. And on the UNC side, they haven't proven they're a legit top 20 team yet.

I agree with you that we need to effectively pass more, and I think we will in 2023 w/AK. But if you think Potts & Williams are almost as good as Mo, then apparently you didn't watch a single game this year. Listen, I don't want to talk bad about these guys too much, but they're just not B1G...

Right, and RB #2 this year he was loyal to a fault. If Evans was healthy, it was a crime that he wasn't played - in at least the 4 games he could w/o burning a redshirt.

Gophers lost 2 games this year (Purdue, IA) because they didn't have a B1G quality #2 RB. Evans appears to be that guy. Coaching malpractice not to play him if he was healthy. I hope Fleck tells Potts & Williams to transfer or else that they're gonna ride the pine in 2023 with 3 star RBs incoming.

I would generally agree with you, but.... 1. As others noted, Evans had a lot of hype in Spring ball. 2. Evans looked very, very good in those 3 carries 3. Them bringing in a transfer RB just says they found a guy who is very good, and there isn't anyone fully proven. Evans isn't fully proven...

These announcers are just bad. One of them actually played at Wisconsin too? That's idiotic of ESPN to let a guy call a game at his alma mater. Just no way you can be objective. And Jump Around is "the best tradition in college football". 🤡🤡🤡

His elbow was down, so that counts as down

More smoke today about Harbaugh going to the raiders. Seems like most posters here don't really worry that Michigan would take a serious look at Fleck. But I'm not so sure. I get that his "row The boat" shtick wouldn't exactly play super well in Michigan, but also all anybody cares about really...

As far as I'm concerned, this has worked out perfectly. 2 weeks ago, I thought that WI was pretty good this year and we would get crushed playing them. Now, we took the 2 weeks off and got better, got some decent players back, and are likely to have a few more next week and WI is looking much...

This exactly. Smith's defenses got worse every year he was at Arkansas. I don't know why Fleck didn't see that, but he must've seen something else he liked. The firing of Smith and the massive turnaround in D was simply unbelievable - I've never seen such a turnaround to the positive from any...

Andersen's departure to Oregon State still mystifies me, but Dodd reports "Admissions was probably the reason the 50-year-old Andersen arguably caused the biggest stir of the coaching silly season" http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/dennis-dodd/24982746 I don't fully buy this...

In light of our AD's decision to try to gouge the crap out of us, I was very curious to see what other B1G schools pried out of their fans' hands. Now clearly, other schools can and probably will raise their current donation levels, but here's what I was able to find so far (you can copy &...

Hi all, Longtime Gophers fan here, now with several young kids. We'd like to take the little ones to the game on Saturday (9/6 vs. MTSU) and so if anyone has some extra (2-3) tickets they'd like to give away or sell cheap (I'd like to pay $10-15/ea at most), I'd appreciate it. I don't really...

Alright, I've got something that's been bothering me for years now, and seeing as how I don't have any 1-on-1 meetings scheduled with Jerry Kill or any of his assistants, I figured I'd ask the fine football minds here at the Hole. Here's my question - why does any team (cough, our Gophers...
