everybody knows my name Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 8 minutes ago, BlitzFirst said: I have high doubts that this will happen. You have a returning stable of backs that got 125 yards vs Nebraska last year...leading rusher 49 yards....with one of our crappiest defenses in the past 10 years. Let's say your backs get better this year with another year of experience...I'd say our defense will make a similar jump in getting better. I don't see them gashing us a lot and if you have to focus on passing versus us, you're going to have a rough time against 2 of the top corners in the conference. Good luck, because you're definitely going to need it to pull of the win. We didn't run on the Huggies last year because we fell behind early. Instead we passed, and I think we scored 22 straight on Nebraska, but our defense was a train wreck. Talented players with no idea what to do. So we fired our DC, promoted a new DC, and played better defense while running poor Purdue, Wisconsin, and Georgia Tech into the ground. But the proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating. We will see what actually happens on the field. Quote Link to comment

We can now appreciate the milestone of being "ranked" 26th in a preseason poll. I'm sure Minnysoda has had a lot of those milestones over the years. Probably a lot of Outback level bowl trips to talk about too! Quote Link to comment

You're misinterpreting those dreams of Caddyshack gophers rowing tiny boats across a calm lake. They don't mean what you think. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

If things go badly for the Gophers you can use my pride to light your cigars. But if the Gophers beat Nebraska, look out. Quote Link to comment

Scarlet Overkill Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Seems like lately, a lot of MN fans are triggered and pretty salty. Not sure what that’s about. At least @everybody knows my name Is a (pretty) good sport, and I hear he is also a snappy dresser. 1 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Frost didn't put us in the top 25. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment

Is there a B1G board where we can all go chatter at each other? Intentionally using the word chatter as that is the native language of the gopher. Quote Link to comment
