Ask a Gopher fan

Fortunately for you, you're putting men on the field and not rodents. We won't be putting insects out on the field, so it should be a fair fight.

Well...Minnesota has a top-notch bioengineering program with ties to UM Athletics. Here's a picture of our freshman RB Mo Ibrahim on a play...

Of course he had to sit out one play because he lost his helmet. To bulk up the rodent-side of the genome, they incorporated some capybara DNA too...

Just wouldn't want any surprises on gameday...

Hoping for a repeat of the last time a team that called Georgia Tech's football stadium home played a team that called Minnesota's football stadium home:

I'm glad GT and Minnesota wont be playing in those conditions

For BilldGopher -- you guys still use the "Gopher I" formation on offense? (Tech fans, it's the old "Maryland I" / stack-I / "Capital I" formation, QB under center and three RBs lined up behind the QB.)

Other than Urban Meyer rarely using it in goal line situations in recent years, it's a forgotten gem of a formation.

Short answer is "no." Fleck's QBs are in the shotgun even under short yardage situations where most other teams would have the QB under center. Previous regimes...both Mason and Kill...employed this formation. Not saying it hasn't happened but much less the last couple of years. Maybe some other MN fan lurking can come out with something more precise...

Good game Bildgopher. Thanks for all your posts!

Congrats Gophers. You guys have a bright future with that monster OL.

Good game gopher fans. The ones who have posted have been some of the most informative/nicest posters to stop by.

I'm going to be sick to my stomach for about a month. Getting beaten in each phase of the game hurts a lot.

Dear Minnesota fans - thanks for your healthy and positive posts here. Good game, and congratulations. We played like our entire coaching staff had been fired (LOL) so I’m sorry we couldn’t have been more competitive.

Gophers;
You not only dominated us, but didn’t need those 5 players. To think you had 51% of your roster littered with Freshmen, is a testament to how good your future looks and what our new coach is facing!

Congrats Bill it seemed like Minnesota wanted this game more than GT did

Great physical beat
down by u guys.
What do u feed those guys??
Good luck

I'm quite shocked this game wasn't closer. The one thing that stood out for me was the lack of size compared to Minnesota. Great athletes but D2, D3 small. I hope Collins gets some young men who at least have frames to add bulk and muscle without sacrificing athleticism. Get back to having C Johnson type athletes.

Whatever the shiny new multimillion dollar nutrition center serves them.

Thanks for the props. This is why they play the game.

Really enjoyed the banter with you guys. First class posters on a first class site. I'll probably just lurk every now and then but may pop up from time to time.

Now that we've met on the field for the first time means we'll all want a second. Let's make the next one for the National Championship...or at least somewhere it's warm and not the day after Christmas...

Good luck from here. Collins looks like the right guy at the right time.

I hope the Gophers go to the BIG 10 Championship Game in 2019 PJ Flick is the head coach to get you there

I hope so. The BT West looks a lot more competitive than a couple years ago. It's probably going to be a six team battle for the foreseeable future. We're going to need to get some good breaks on the way.

Hopefully we can get big olinemen in future & nfl caliber players
