We believe we have a starter in Soph QB Drake Lindsey but need competition in the QB room to add that edge for a new QB position (as our QB this year was a Portal transfer with only one year eligibility). Zach will provide that in spades. Although Coach Fleck has issues with game management...

Well, maybe. My fellow Gopher fans aren't necessarily convinced however he did the job against that team from Notre Dame. But yes, I did grin. Merry Christmas.

Hello Sheboygan. Mrs. Sheboygan is welcome to visit The Axe any time in Dinkytown to raise her spirits. As to Fickell, yes the seatwarmer in his Subaru is turned all the way up. Regardless, Merry Christmas to you and your family and good luck to your team in the bowl. Billd.

The Gophers got VT in Charlotte. Never played them before so that's a plus. Playing January 3 is a bit of a drag but playing on December 26 can be a drag too Going to this one via Atlanta. Will visit with friends over New Years and then make the trek to Charlotte where another friend lives...

Yep, most of the enthusiasm is on where and not who...and of course where determines who the who will be. There's a poster who has specifically named no GT in response to me who prefers VT or Duke. Another poster questioned why no love for you guys but that's about it. I guess it goes with...

USC came to our house and left a broken team. Their fan boards and the LA media were in a 5-alarm meltdown after losing to us. They were No. 11 at the time. We were competitive with Penn State until their last possession. A highly questionable pass interference call on their final scoring...

Duke Mayo is what we're seeing up here too however Michigan stirred the pot by beating O-H-I-O State. The other (before Michigan win) is Nashville but historically the Music City Bowl committee has not liked us. We traveled very well in 2004 and beat 'Bama but must have offended somebody along...

Now yer' talkin'...

Minnesota will not be in the Pinstripe. We were there 2 years ago and we are high enough in the pecking order to miss that one this year.

We're still wondering ourselves as we consider the what ifs at this point in the season. Big issue was our QB was a Portal grad transfer in his first D1 game. Hot stuff at New Hampshire but it took time. He ended up adjusting well to the speed of the game near the end of September. Was a...

I'm still pulling for a Duke's Mayo Bowl for a MN-GT rematch on January 3. If it's any consolation some of my Gopher brethren would rather play a "lesser" 8-4 team in the bowl than a "good" 7-5 team (which is our record too). The context for the comment was the possible match-up for UM-GT...

Heck of an effort against a team in The Playoffs. Once it got to OTs both had their shots. As for the current regime, you are headed in the right direction. Night and day differences in all 3 phases of the game from where you were a couple of years ago. With the Gophers winning today against...

Unlike 2018 we don't have a strong running game but passing game can be good. Gave the Nittanies a run for their money on Saturday but came up short. Great game to attend though even in losing. Good luck against those guys to the east...

Been a while since I visited but scuttle up here is we might get a rematch in the Mayo Bowl. Gives you guys a shot for redeeming the 2018 game in Detroit. Waiting to see if we get The Axe back from Sconnie. Sorry Sheboygan but that's the goal. We'll see. Billd.

Great win for you guys. Was watching the other games scroll at our game getting totally demolished by a very good Michigan squad and knew you were in it. Got to hear the end of your game in the car on national radio and it added a bright spot to an otherwise dismal evening. Enjoy it and let...

T-ball shot on that one. Looks like a HR to the upper center field deck at Truist Park. Made my day. Thanks 'Cuse! On to a B1G lightweight in Northwestern...:DBilld.

Any shame in losing to NC? Inquiring Gopher interested in another ACC team's opinion... They played solid as far as this one is concerned. Thought going in we could run with them but obviously not.

The Gophers barely beat Nebbie last week so no gloating here. However, Sims today was bad until he was good for a minute then bad again. Sorry ThatGuy, but this is going to be a tough sled this year. That offered, Nebraska fans are a dedicated bunch. Even after what they've endured now for a...

Thanks ThatGuy. It was tough to watch for most of the game but we gutted it out. Rhule will turn the ship around but for now Nebraska is still snakebit. Fans traveled well and we had a lot around where we sit. As for Sims, he is what he is. He gave us fits but also opportunities too...

Just realized that Nebbie's QB...Jeff Sims...is GT's Jeff Sims who entered the Portal. At least we'll have film on him from his GT days...
