Just three weeks ago or so they fired their offensive coordinator after an embarrassing loss at home. They certainly did turn their season around.

Let's be honest. Who here after Wisconsin drove to end the first half for a TD thought the Gophers would still win?

Ruesse is still a moron wrapped in an idiot, who is 30 years removed from his last good colum. With all of candidates tied to the Wolves, he goes after Fleck who now won the Axe and is going to a bowl game in year 2. The reason is simple. Ruesse has had a boner for Fleck since day 1.

I still have no idea if he is the guy, but this was a good day for the program. I hope it's the first of a lot big days.

These last two weeks have been so awesome for Gopher Football. They were in desperate need and they may be back on track now.

Yeah, that's a given Jeff
And the only guy my Dad didn't like? Bud Grant. And I agree, in that he started our attitudes.
Great teams of ass-kickers that he insisted take their feet off the gas pedal (IMO)
Brushed off the SB embarrassments because we were #2 and that was ok. So .... being #2 is ok I guess. (take that #2 however you want)
All those years of dominating the awful Central Division, by winning games 13-10. Wheeeeeee.
Don't embarrass other team. Be nice to em. Respect em. While they laugh at us when they beat us.
We're still that way. First to tip the hat. Give the respect. Admit the defeat. Good people. Bad at sports.

I don't agree with Reusse a good percentage of the time. But I still like him. Anyone who thinks Fleck was a bad choice for the Turkey just because the Gophers beat Wisconsin doesn't get Reusse. He's not deterred by the Gophers winning and making his column look idiotic. He revels in it. He loves being an instigator and troll.

It's possible to like like both Fleck and Ruesse simultaneously. I do.

I know some guys who are gonna flip out about that one! [&:][&:]

Phillip John had plenty of company, with Jackass Butler, Too-conservative Zimmer right up there for me.


Gah, the Vikings drive me nuts. As always.

Zimmer's tight to the vest offense until you're behind is NEVER going to get this team past the likes of the Rams and Saints.

And Spielman's refusal to really improve the o-line is factor #2. Dumb ass.

Almost forgot the other candidates ... no kidding
Plenty of choices.

Loved the MNF game ... and hated it at the same time. Because its another evolution of the game that we will be behind the times on.
We are always watching, instead of partaking.
In Minnesota .... we like to watch. That should be a bumper sticker.
Fran, Foreman, Burns, and then '98 ... were the only times we were the shit.
Will never forget one of the first memories I have of becoming a sports nut ...
My Dad (who wasn't that big of a sports guy, he knew stuff, but rarely paid attention) and me are sitting in our cozy living room, must have been early'70s.
And we're watching the New Years Eve college games. Back then we always went to a couple Gopher FB games a year in the old Memorial Bowl.
He and I just sat there with our mouths open. It was someone like Alabama/Oklahoma, and they were running the option.
It was like we had encountered beings from a different planet. The speed and deception was light years ahead of what we had seen in MN up to that time.
It was like we had pulled up to the Indy 500 in our Model T. It stuck with me all this time. There are different levels of competition in every major sport, and in many ways we are still behind in almost all of them.
So lets all be thankful on this special holiday! [;)]

Yeah, that loss at home to Northwestern was fantastic. [&o]

I think it was the 1977 Oklahoma Sooners backfield that completely blew my mind with its size and speed. Everyone was fast. They didn't win the national title but they were awesome as a wishbone backfield.

I think the entire Wolves organization deserved the Turkey with Butler the honor of carving it and TT watching like a proud papa of an idiot.

And I am not a fan of Fleck.
