Can't remember ever seeing open seats in the Big House. Brady Hoke will never make it through the year. If we can't win back the Brown Jug during this era, we never will.

2014 guys, not 1914

And yet they have at least 2 QB's who would start for the Gophers....possibly more.

I hope Hoke sticks around (or course he won't). We have a better chance at beating them.

He was 1st choice for Gophers but turned them down

What I remember about Hoke is that Maturi created a big stink by talking to Hoke without the permission of the other AD. That prompted a dump Maturi campaign by a bunch of alumna.

Probably happy to see the Gophers on the sched

It appears he has
It's time now to figure out where we are heading offensively
Because we have taken massive steps backward in that area.
Nelson appears to have been better than he was given credit for.

And Gray looked like Joe Montana compared to the new guys.

Those late-70s teams weren't great, but were damn fun to follow.
Some great memories at old Memorial Stadium.
The 16-0 win over national power Michigan was probably the finest moment of Gopher FB in my lifetime.

They will be walking into a hornets nest, filled with pissed-off players, coaches, and fans.
Could bode poorly. Especially for a team as inept at moving the ball as we are.

I believe that fans will be pissed off. The players and coaches could be a different story. They could be pissed off or they could be shell shocked and wondering if they are that good or questioning belief in their coach. They have been steadily declining under Hoke and he has to worrying about job security. The Gophers have already played a much better team than Michigan (especially defensively) on the road, so they shouldn't be intimidated. If the Wolverines start out poorly those pissed off fans may turn on them quickly.

This power running team isn't built to come from behind at home either. It's a clock management offense.

So close to being good.
Yet so far. Has huge holes. Doesn't always make the right cut.
Could've easily taken this drive to the house.
Now instead, huge 4th down here.
