Thought of this in the middle of the week. Wouldn’t it be great if next season home games when Potts makes a great run or a TD that the PA would announce it with ”Touchdown Gophers by FRESH POTTS!” And have the audio from the Dave Grohl/Foo Fighters youtube video Fresh Potts play? It popped in...

I tend not to post often on the board because usually reading the threads tends to entertain me enough or fulfills my need for Gopher Football conversation at this time of the year. But I felt like this was a valid time to post. Be ready for a long one. The main point to this thread is to point...

Full Disclosure: I am born and raised in Minnesota but my parents hail from Iowa and moved to MN at 18 and 19. Since then, they have been Minnesotan when it comes to sports fandom. That said, I have extended family who love Iowa football. Sadly, I can say one of my cousins was a scholarship...

I’ll as to this, I remember 2019 feeling like we slant-routed every opponent to death. And we did it because nobody could stop Johnson or Bateman from running the route well and catching a strike from Tanner. I feel like I don‘t see the slant as much or if I do, the ball is getting dropped.

The Nebraska game was when I thought Tanner was turning the corner for the year. Seriously, he set the school record for completions in the first half, and I was thinking, I missed this guy from 2019. Even his first INT of that game was a good pass that a DB, who was beat by his WR, somehow...

I'm glad to see some fans keeping things in perspective with 2020. It's frustrating but you look at the losses on defense and you realize it's not a good situation although everyone was amped after the Auburn win. Ultimately, we have to give a coaching staff a little time to develop the program...

Disagree. Iowa was our worst game because of all the mistakes we made. It's one thing to get beat by a team who executed. had a better game plan, and found a way to hide countless pass interference plays (Wisc). It's another when your uncharacteristic mistakes cause you to beat yourself while...

Couldn't agree more with the assessments about the OL and DL. We have 3 talented running backs but they have to get to the second level to be dangerous (just like most good running backs). Against Iowa and Wisc, the DL gave the mediocre QBs too much time and made them look much better than what...

So will the Thanksgiving Rivalry week no longer be a thing? We've been playing WI the last week for like six years+?

Always nice to see a Troll who created his account the week of the matchup. Glad to see someone with so much time on their hands. Regarding the original post, none of the behaviors surprise me. Some just take fandom way too far and have no sense of shame or decency.

I write this while watching the end of the fourth quarter of the Little Brown Jug game and trying to calmly and collectively analyze a point of the season many have overlooked or haven't articulated enough. The offensive line had allowed 8 sacks in 8 games prior to the Michigan game and I...

As the Axe game was finishing up, I exclaimed to the other viewers in the room that a new coaching staff will be brought in for 2017. But after 24 hours of truly collecting my thoughts, I'm torn if we should truly move on from the Kill/Claeys Era, expect some down years and see a completely...

Enough Said

Yesterday was a bizarre day. I had to make an unplanned visit to the optometrist ye morning because of an unusual eye irritation. While sitting in the lobby, waiting to meet the doc, in walks Goldy Gopher! His caravan heading to Iowa stopped in because someone needed fresh contacts for the...

New to the Gopherhole.com here. I won't be making it to Iowa City this weekend, but I will be wearing this shirt all Saturday: I'd love to see back-to-back wins by the Gophs because my extended family is full of Iowa homers (FULL DISCLOSURE: Had a cousin in early 2000s play for Iowa...
