    All Things Turd Sandwiches

    I read a lot of college hoops takes on the internet, but Pilgrim's recent comments are some of the worst I think I've ever read. Thought it was parody at first. He's the skip bayless of gopherhole.

    Official 2024 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    I think he'll pick the gopher hat. Felt like he's been firm w MN until recently, and as mentioned it's a tough look to arrange a signing day "selection" show if you're not going to stick with the home team.

    All ROWds lead to Wisconsin

    This badger team actually showed a little resilience last night after falling behind 14-0 to Nebraska. A nice change from the rest of the season where they’ve just looked lost. Myself and other badger fans expected a much better year one from Fickell. This has been a disaster of a start for...

    2024-2028 Big Ten Schedules have been released.

    The B1G got a lot harder to win with these adds and no divisions. In 2025 Wisconsin plays Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon and Washington. Not to mention Minnesota and Iowa. Yikes.

    If you think he isn’t a step up from Mertz you are crazy.

    This Weeks BIG Schedule

    Feels like Iowa always gives Penn State a battle. I think Penn State should roll but wouldn't be shocked if Iowa hangs around. Badgers defense has been atrocious this year. It's been a drastic regression from recent Leonhard defenses. The offense has been an improvement but feels like they...

    Big Ten Intro to the Air Raid

    Assume you're referring to CJ Williams from USC? He wasn't a starter, but played in 11 games as a true freshman. They recruit some decent WR there. He was going to be behind some returning players, but I don't think bums play as true freshman at SC. Bryson Green? His sophomore year at OK St...

    B1G quarterback rankings entering the 2023 season: Rank them? Good luck even identifying them.

    That makes about as much sense as AK being the 3rd worst or whatever it was. Mertz has a lot of tools but never seemed to be able to put it together. He's fine against the Illinois State's of the world, but any team with a decent defense befuddles him.

    B1G quarterback rankings entering the 2023 season: Rank them? Good luck even identifying them.

    Fair enough. I'm not sure where he'll rank in the conference, just feel pretty confident that he's a big upgrade from Mertz. The system will take some time but offensively it can't get much worse for UW than the last couple of years. I actually think the run game will see the biggest benefit...

    B1G quarterback rankings entering the 2023 season: Rank them? Good luck even identifying them.

    Outside of him being a Badger - why do you think Tanner Mordecai will be so bad? He's got better numbers than pretty much everyone in the conference. It's been done in a lower conference, but Gopher fans are super high on their transfers that came from lower level conferences. He has some...

    CBS: Top 25

    I believe prior to last season Wisconsin had the 9th highest winning percentage in college football since 2000. I think the general success of the program is also factoring into preseason rankings.

    Official 2024 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Definitely less of a Wisconsin presence on staff under Fickell. But each class has its own nuances. Sounds like Harbour and Corey Smith both grew up out of state and moved to Wisconsin more recently. Less Wisconsin loyalty in those cases. Never...

    Happy G5 and FCS Signing Day!

    When talking about offense I don't know if it should be considered "Fickell Ball" or "Longo Ball." It's going to be Longo's offensive scheme. Everyone talks Air Raid but he's had offenses at UNC that ran more than they passed, and vice versa. As a badger fan I'm ready for a fresh start...

    NCAA Signing Cap—Colorado

    The portal definitely has risks. I would imagine a good coach who understands the culture of the program - like Fleck or Fickell - would take some time to vet the kids and make sure they are a good fit for the program. Wisconsin has now added three transfer QBs from the portal for next year...

    Gophers open as (+3) underdogs at Wisconsin

    I actually thought the Gophs would be favored in this one. Badger defense is very good, offense is very bad. Gophers running game and offensive line is really good. For as solid as the Badger defense is, they don't tackle well. I can see Mo and crew gashing this badger D, and I don't see...

    Jack Robinson commits to Wisconsin

    I think recruiting is about finding the right fit and best possible player that you can get to come to your school. If the Gophers didn't want these type of recruits to play for them then why make a scholarship offer? As for MNJay saying that there basically hasn't been a lost recruit from...

    6 game losing streak.

    Not sure how you want to quantity "talent" but if you want to relate it to current NFL players on active rosters: Iowa #11 with 35 players Minnesota #64 with 11 players I think it's a stretch to say Minnesota has been more talented over the last 6 seasons.

    Trying to keep up with local sports via streaming was a failure - Reusse

    I'm seeing more of this requiring you to be on your home Wifi network, at least with Xfinity, which if you're borrowing a buddy or family member's login you will not be on their home Wifi network. I just started YoutubeTV and really like it, but not having FSN stinks for wolves/wild/etc.
