Jeff Jones, the Gophers’ most highly touted recruit of the past decade, is transferring to Iowa Western Community College after falling behind academically this semester, coach Tracy Claeys told the Star Tribune on Wednesday.


That's too bad. Hopefully he gets to carry the ball there, and go where his talents are used "correctly".



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (12/16/2015 5:50:21 PM)

Figured that's where this was going ..



TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (12/16/2015 8:11:51 PM)

Claeys was on KFAN today. He elaborated on firing Limegrover and Zobroowski. It sounds like the 2 of them divided up the play calling where Limegrover called the running plays and Zobroowski called the passing plays. Claeys wants one person in charge of the offense. Essentially if Limegrover couldn't handle it, Claeys was going to get somebody who could. The scary thing is that Claeys suggested that Jerry Kill may not even have been aware of the arrangement between them.

Maybe some of this was why play calling took such a long time.

So idiotic....just give Leidner a 60-play list and let him call his own plays....probably would have worked better.



MDK -> RE: Gopher Football (12/17/2015 4:32:53 PM)

Pretty pleased with our new football coach at USD. We hired Bob Nielson, presently head coach at Western Illinois and former head coach at the U of M Duluth where he lead Duluth to two Div II titles.

I think he is a great hire. He was just named the Missouri Valley Football conference coach of the year.



TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (12/18/2015 8:57:08 AM)

Green is one of seven recruits who signed letters yesterday and will enroll at the U in January and participate in spring practice. Claeys also snagged a last minute JUCO d-back who flipped from his commitment to West Virginia.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (12/18/2015 11:51:20 PM)

Congrats to all you Bizon lovers out there ... what a helluva team and a helluva run.
Just a dominating program.
Change/lose players? pffft
Change/lose coaches? pfffft
The wins just keep rollin in. Easy peasy.
Becoming our local version of Mt Union or Pitts State ... annual JUGGERNAUTS



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 12:12:44 PM)

We need to contain Cooper Rush.



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 12:18:35 PM)

Damn, just looked their schedule up. They didn't "Gopher" their out of conference schedule. Ok State/Syracuse and MSU.

Who's that? Sounds like a fill in on Saved By the Bell.

You guys sound ready for the big game today!!!



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 4:23:09 PM)

What a start! Rodney with a huge run on the opening play! Keep it up.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 4:26:08 PM)

Good drive. Take our 3 and stop 'em.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 4:55:28 PM)

Cooper Rush with a rushing TD.

We have some work to do. Gophers down 7-3.



Steve Lentz -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 6:59:37 PM)

Good to see a few posters in here.
Horrible year, but looking like we have a chance to end it with a bowl win.
Can we hold he lead for 4 minutes?



Steve Lentz -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 7:19:39 PM)

First Bowl win since 2004.
The 5-7 teams are making a good showing in these games.



bstinger -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 7:45:01 PM)

I was watching on DVR so couldn't post.

Decent finish to a disaster of a year. Leidner actually looked pretty sharp. Wolitarsky dropped a couple, including a probably TD on bomb. Granted we were playing Central Mich. Hopefully the experience will help players and staff for next year and beyond.



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 7:58:08 PM)

Same for me (DVR). Weirdest fact in sports, to me at least, our last bowl win? Against Alabama [:-]



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 9:29:09 PM)

Alabama was bad that year. They were actually pretty bad for a long stretch.



Lynn G. -> RE: Gopher Football (12/28/2015 10:21:11 PM)

I think the result of tonight's game solidifies that accepting the opportunity to play in this bowl game was a good decision. Not only the extra playing experience for all of them, but for the seniors this is a good way to end their careers. And this gives a little more insight into Claeys' ability as a head coach.

Way to go Gophers!



TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (12/29/2015 9:58:42 AM)

Agreed Lynn. It was really a no brainer. You always take the opportunity to continue playing and practicing.

On a related note Claeys hired his new OC and O-line coaches. Jay Johnson offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Louisiana-Lafayette is the new OC (local boy to boot) and Bart Miller formerly the Wisconsin OL coach under Bret Bielema is the new OL coach here.

Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Football (12/29/2015 11:05:55 AM)

Congrats on a trophy. Saw it in a picture, pretty big for a little bowl game.

Participant trophies for the kids will be in the mail [:D]



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Gopher Football (12/29/2015 12:21:26 PM)

That was the best I've seen ML play in his career. He threw the best pass of life in the 1st quarter and Wolitarsky "williamson'd" it.



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Gopher Football (12/29/2015 12:22:07 PM)

And yes, you have to accept that game. I just didn't realize you could even be bowl eligible with 5 wins.
