There's quite a list here... Justin Walley returning Daniel Jackson returning Darius Taylor returning Max Brosmer commit ---------- That's a lot of positive news recently. ---------- Regarding Brosmer: what does Gopher Hole think? Is it likely that Brosmer will be an immediate upgrade at...

This season has been disappointing. Last chance to win the West is gone. That said, we are the only team to beat #17 Iowa at Kinnick and we still have a chance to keep the Axe, too. We can still go bowling, and finish with a winning record. We've gotten a look at some upcoming Gopher football...

Minnesota had not beaten Michigan State at home since 2009, when Kirk Cousins was the Spartan QB. The streaks — whether real streaks, or "streaks" hyped by the sports talking heads — continue to be ended under Fleck. Can P.J. end the streak of not winning the B1G West?

It will be interesting...

Just heard this. Forty-two years is a long, long time. It was 12-10, the exact same score. Also interesting: that 1981 Gopher team also upset Ohio State... ... just sayin'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Minnesota_Golden_Gophers_football_team

This week's lines for the B1G West contenders: Michigan State +7 @ Minnesota Purdue +2.5 @ Nebraska Ohio State -14.5 @ Wisconsin (Iowa, Illinois idle)

Yes, I know it was Iowa's offense, which is known for being notoriously bad. But Iowa had 200 yards rushing vs Wisconsin just one week ago. Minnesota's run defense never gave them a sliver of daylight. — If the Gopher defense has reverted to their previous form under Rossi, — If the staff can...

I was scrolling through this, and then it hit me: By gosh, there's our game. Minnesota 12, #24 Iowa 10. I had forgotten that Iowa was ranked #24. It makes the win even sweeter, if that's actually possible. Savor wins over ranked teams, folks. https://www.espn.com/college-football/scoreboard

The Gophers stayed true to themselves; they played smart, played conservatively, played their game, played to their strengths. As the game wore on, the pressure mounted on Iowa, not on the Gophers. Iowa was forced to abandon their identity because Minnesota's defense utterly stonewalled the...

Fleck on the radio today pointed out something I hadn't been aware of. He said Tanner Morgan threw for something like 10,000 yards in his high school career. He played a whole lot of football in high school, and consequently he already had a high level of football experience when he got to...

This stat line for the Eagles offense looks eerily familiar... — 24 first downs — 259 yards rushing on 48 carries (5.4 yds/carry) — Just short of 40 minutes time of possession https://www.espn.com/nfl/matchup/_/gameId/401547410

Rossi is a helluva defensive coach. The staff has done an excellent job recruiting and coaching players who can run and hit. The defense gives us a chance to win games week in and week out. North Carolina will be an excellent test for this group.

If you have your health, you should take a little time to be very, very grateful. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/37865663/colorado-coach-deion-sanders-need-left-foot-amputated

Watching this, I had to chuckle. I had never seen much footage of Fleck as a player before, but this is exactly what I would have expected. All-out effort and enthusiasm. The TD catch is Example A.

It's nice to remember just how young these kids are. Apologies if it has been posted previously...

Did anyone else find it... odd... that Saban was given time on-camera during the B1G Title game halftime to lobby for Alabama's inclusion in the CFP? Will other coaches be given similar opportunities to lobby for their teams in the future? Maybe this is an ongoing thing; maybe it has happened...

For those of you keeping score at home, for comparison purposes. All records are as Minnesota head coach only, per Wiki... P.J. Fleck Overall: 43-27 — .614% Conference: 26-26 — .500% Bowls: 3-0 — 1.000% Tracy Claeys Overall: 11-8 — .579% Conference: 6-8 — .429% Bowls: 2-0 — 1.000% Jerry Kill...
