Minnesota Golden Gophers (official thread)

Glen Mason was the high water mark for the Gophers since ... what, the 60s? Fleck may be their new high water mark.

Yeah. He wins games against the hapless, competes against the competent, gets his ass kicked by the good to great.

And that's Minnesota's spot.
You'll find teams that temporarily rise above their spot, but it's rare and temporary.
Fleck has them in their spot. I hope for his sake he doesn't get fired, eventually, for it.

Cignetti is making life difficult for the Flecks of the world.

And it isn't just Cignetti - Vanderbilt is playing above their position, as well.
They'll both fall back down, soon.

Compare that rep for the left tackle to what you saw from Ian Moore yesterday. The tackle needs to close the gap between himself and the pass rusher and not give the pass rusher the time or ability to build momentum and get his hands inside of the blocker. In the video, that left tackle was too passive and gave the pass rusher all of the advantages he wants (speed, aggressiveness). Also, that was the shittiest attempt at a chip block from a running back I've ever seen.

If you are up early and thinking about Minnesota football you should get help.

Seriously.

I think if the schedule lines up for him and they somehow pull of an 8-4/9-3 type season, he'll bail.

I didn’t know there was a Minnesota thread.
And fuck Taylor, Behagen and Winfield.
