    Still no update on the suspended 6-8 players, but tomorrow we may have 3 more Georgians added to our roster. That's in addition to the 8 returning, 2 applying for medical redshirt to return as Seniors, and 1 who just entered the draft as a Senior...

    Minnesota update: Top OL Greene and top LB Cashman (with Big Ten and National recognition) are declaring early and not participating in the Toilet Bowl. On top of that, there's an on-going "disciplinary" action against 6-8 players for currently undisclosed reasons that are at least holding...

    Been varying a bit with the rotating door of HC's lately, but outside of MN we have been recruiting mostly Florida, Georgia, Ohio, and now Texas. I thought I had replied to this earlier, but I don't see it. We fired our DC late in the season. The run-D was supposed to be a strength, but it has...

    For those of you asking, I can tell you our short yardage gain plays, 3rd/4th down (wildcat) has stiffled everyone to date. I have seen ONCE all year where it failed. Converted QB (6'4, 240ish) is more of a beast than our GA rookie receiver Rashod Bateman, and sometimes he throws or hands off to...

    Looking at the schedules, I'd say this is actually a potentially great match up. I hope both teams show up and make us forget about the slum-dome we will be playing in. Both teams could've easily had 8-9 wins. Let's hope when we meet next, there's more at stake.

    To Detroit? About as good as Georgians do.

    Considering the night & day change after the DC was fired, I'd say this is the Gopher team you should expect to see: Purdue: N'western: Wisconsin:

    I feel like both schools have had a tale of two faces this season. To be honest, our defensive line has been poor, but they have stepped up as of late. As I mentioned earlier, the DC was fired prior to 3 games ago and the result has been night & day different. Still, not sure how the Gophers...

    Yeah, for 2-3 seasons. Had a cool Vikings-Bears outdoor game in a snowy November... and I KNEW someone would bring up that Vikings/Falcons game. No worries, I don't take offense to it. Poor Gary Anderson, though. Hadn't missed a kick the entire season, then did at the most inopportune time.

    The Atlanta Flames! Yes, I am aware. The cheering of the icing? Hahah, that's like non-tech savvy people thinking CD-Rom drives were cup holders. Love it!

    Imagine that your ex's heart was so cold that it changed the landscape to ice. Then you got really drunk and decided to make a game where you skate around with a wooden weapon and punch people at random and everyone's cool with it. Yeah, we're kind of good at that.

    Hockey is played on Saturdays. ;-) Lineman come from outstate, positionals from private high schools in the metro.

    Bateman is a BEAST. Last I saw he was 11th in Big Ten reception yardage, before last week. And many of his passes were lateral. I think we need to utilize his speed and agility. He will break U of M records, should he stay 4 years. Gross... the Sconnies wear the same colors as your Georgia...

    I wouldn't be surprised if the game becomes a shootout. At the same time, the Gophers held Ohio State to 92 total yards rushing in Columbus before the DC change, and Wisconsin's RB Taylor (1989 yards rushing for the year, ~170/g) was held to 120 in Madison last week in our route. Run "D" is our...

    I can't stand Fleck and his stupid car salesman tactics, and don't get me started on the stupid "row the boat" oar on the helmets that looks like a Maxi-pad. Agreed, GT got shafted, but at least you're not playing a directional school. Hard to name strengths & weaknesses, as the team has been...
