Coach Fleck mentioned the closeness and importance of his family (wife and kids), and that they will be ever-present around the program. That said, it made me wonder about there situation logistically and how difficult a decision to move her to MN would be for them. It's my understanding...

from BTN interview: http://btn.com/video/526816835548/

IMHO Illinois, Northwestern, and Iowa all look much better than expected. MN could not play these 3 teams right now and win all 3 games. The West truly seems wide open this year.

Curious, have we ever had 4 MN programs in the NCAA tourney together prior to 2015? (MN, MSU, UMD, and St.Cloud) MN schools make-up a full quarter of the teams competing this year. Hard to believe it would have happened previously, as prior to Hastings MN-State wasn't much of a factor, and...

Nice video on Little Brown Jug history from MI players, and good video recap of the game. http://www.mgoblue.com/collegesportslive/?media=465759

Does anyone know how these schedules come to fruition? Are we doing Sunday/Monday because BTN was televising two B1G hockey conference games already on Friday, and Saturday is full of basketball? Is FSN locked-out of covering a game and/or would not send a crew to PennState for just one...

I recall going to Michigan two years ago and getting blasted 58 -0. After two underwhelming wins over Akron and UConn, it looks like MN is just what the doctor ordered after a bye week. Michigan dominated us on both lines in 2011 for the 58-0 blowout, as we had zero offensive ability to run...

Do you think we've seen the Offensive Identity this year that Kill and Staff want here, or are we playing to our personnel? I love all the running, using the clock, pounding the opposition into submission, etc. That said, we are running (and not passing) even more than during Mason's regime...

Who does that clown Pantherhawk cheer for this Saturday with UNI playing Iowa? His alma mater or his dream school? Scratch that, he'll be cheering for Western Michigan.

"Axe, Pig, Jug." That is all.

The Defensive pressure can pay huge dividends going forward. Pressure, speed and depth are our biggest improvements on the D from last year. From the Las Vegas Sun article on the game: There’s no record of just how many times UNLV quarterback Nick Sherry got hit Thursday night. Officially...

Marcus Jones was our true freshman speedy and elusive scat back last year who the staff loved (didn't red shirt, recruited to NIU, etc). Work in the slot, catch screens, run a reverse, etc. We've been told he is 100% and recovered from knee injury better than anyone Kill has seen before. Now...

Now, - if we can just play Iowa and Illinois each 4 times a year, we can go undefeated in conference and with the B1G. I would love to make beating Iowa an annual tradition, - as for Illinois, unfortunately we can't get them every year due to Leaders/Legends. Go Gophers!

As a Gopher fan, who do you root for on Saturday between NE and WI? On the one hand, (and just like when PSU entered the league in 1993), I don't want NE to feel like they can dominate the BigTen as some have suggested, and I certainly don't want them winning it all in year 1. They need to be...

I know we only had 9 sacks all of last year, but I really thought this area would improve (everyone a little older, stronger, faster, more experienced, etc), and we would get some sacks in the non-conf schedule. We have faced 76 pass attempts now from opposing QBs, and the only time we have...

FYI: new U of MN football site coming on-line. Replaces play4theU (formally play4brew) http://www.goldengophergridiron.com/

I'm guessing we add TCU to our next open date, - 2015 schedule. Just like Brewster wanted UT on the schedule, I'm sure Jerry Kill would love to play home-n-home with Patterson and TCU. It's a good pickup for TCU as well. Since they will be in the Big Least and the BCS, they could still use...

Does anyone have the final numbers on the raises which Kill and staff received? What's Kill's total package deal come-up to per annum? Also, haven't some of his staff doubled (or more) their previous NIU compensation? I think they are genuinely appreciative of the opportunity at MN, but it's...

I saw Jimmy Gjere at a High School hockey game Saturday. I had seen him a couple times at TCF for games in '09 when he was a commit and still in high school. All I can say is, - a RS year does wonders for O-lineman! (He's much bigger and more intimidating). I think our line should be...

Olson had no offer to the U, and he has developed quite well under Kill at UNI. http://www.mnsun.com/articles/2010/12/10/local_sports_update/127ri09olson.txt
