It's actually the University's motto. They own the copy right.

Right, but the coach brought it with him from Western Michigan.

It's gimmicky! Great programs don't need gimmicks.

Is "Row the Boat" on the hockey uniforms? Women's volleyball?

Those would be called mascots. The Gophers already have one of those. Goldy

Nope, no gimmicks. Same uniforms. Same mascots. Same band. Same songs.

When you're elite, you don't need them.

Looks like the Gophers lost at least a couple more players to injury. It's turning into an infirmary.

Also ... not a fan of the black unis ... at all.

With yellow helmets?
Since when are we yellow?
It was horrid.

They were black. Looked like a charcoal briquette with a yellow head. Unfortunately the colors have shifted from the actual gold to yellow gold over the years. The old school gold looked a lot better.

He is the highest rated recruit in our class. According to the Pioneer Press there were 20 other schools after him. Fleck got a good recruiting win here. I hope Iowa is one of the teams that lost out.

Getting to know Alex Reigelsperger

Height: 6’ 3”

Weight: 247 lbs

Other Offers: Kentucky, Pitt, Wisconsin, Arizona, Iowa, Duke, Illinois, Cincy, Louisville, Purdue, Rutgers, Tennessee, Iowa St, West Virginia and others

His 247 Evaluation had this to say about the young man.

quote:

Reigelsperger is a high-effort, edge player that can come off the ball in a hurry. Not the biggest defensive end, he gets it done with quick feet and his intensity on the field. He can rush the passer well, but will need to add weight and strength to hold up against the run in the SEC.

His ESPN Scouts Inc eval has him as a 4-star recruit and said the following about him...

quote:

STRENGTHS: Has ideal height and length. Flashes a good get off and has the speed to make plays from the backside. Heady player who puts himself into good position and displays good hand play and placement. Competes on the edge and fights through the whistle. ... AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT: Needs to fill out ample frame with functional strength. Needs to watch pad level and can give ground when doesn't win with quickness and leverage.... BOTTOM LINE: Reigelsperger is a tall defensive end prospect who will only get better once he adds size and functional strength. He displays the tools to be a well-rounded DE for a Power 5 program.

Minnesota gets maybe 3 four stars a year? Huge get if he lives up to the stars.

Not giving up on Fleck but this team is actually regressing. Croft may be the worst "dual threat" QB I've ever seen. He can't pass and sucks as a read option QB.

Santoso punting is our biggest weapon
