OT: Minnesota hit with 3 decommits in 3 weeks
- Thread starter freewillie07
- Start date
A Minnesota fan is on our board chirping about wins over very average Purdue, Wisconsin, and Georgia Tech teams based on the hope of a new DC.
We have reached the doldrums of the offseason earlier than usual.
He comes on here every year and predicts a gopher victory. Will be correct at some point.
To be the man, we(?) have to beat the man. You are now posting on the Man's board..." I suggest we pump the brakes a bit.
Good question. I thought last season was lost. I have to give Coach Fleck all the credit in the world for pulling the trigger midseason.
This I agree with. I cant stand when a change is needed, it is obvious to everyone in the world, and a coach waits until EOY to make a change. JFDI
They usually wait so that it expands the pool of available candidates after head coaching changes are made at the end of the season. If their guy is in house or on the street it can make sense to move quicker, but not always possible.

I understand, but sometimes the situation sucks so much that an interim guy doing double duty is preferable. Just to send a message that, say, giving up 60 points to Ill-annoy is unacceptable
Hoping that Ali Saad becomes another Minnesota decommit and flips to the Cats. Bummed to see him joining the Fighting Flecks.
ACT score won't cut admissions, unfortunately. Good looking prospect. Hope Fleck doesn't screw him.
FWIW, Aaron Witt has committed to Iowa now. I think that is the 3rd kid since Fleck has been there that had committed to Minnesota, decommitted and committed to Iowa. Ihmir Smith-Marsette (WR & KR), Noah Shannon (DT) and now Witt. Fleck can can apparently sell a deal, just can't close the deal. LOL
He can take a reservation. He just can't hold a reservation.
Seinfeld.....
Holding the reservation is really the most important part.‘Fact are’ ‘you are ignoring Gophers had’ ‘went on a win on’ ‘couldnt do anything agaagai’? This can’t be an actual functioning person writing this, can it? Perhaps the Russian bots have invaded our boards?
I think PDP98 is a PDP 8 bot with a spelling issue. Does anyone else remember the PDP 8 at tech?No, that's probably a Minnesota alum.
I do. DId my PhD thesis using one. Hated those yellow tapes and booting it up with machine language every day.
I can unequivocally confirm absolutely no connection to tech as I was Comm Studies. We were all terrified of any and all activities, classes and general goings on in tech. With that said, I do remember entering for one class - Intro to Sociology - with Prof. Charlie Moskos, of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ infamy. It was the only building that could hold such a large class.
Minnesota lost 30-14 to Ohio State in Columbus. They don't play this year in regular B1G season. Iowa (2017) and Purdue (2018) are the only conference losses the past two seasons for the Buckeyes.
You made the mistake of responding to a Wrassler post seriously...
Fleck is doing just fine. He landed his best 2 recruits for the 2020 class in the past week. Things are right on schedule in Dinkytown with 90% of their production returning and will be featuring one of the best WR and RB units in the B1G this fall.
Not sure if serious? Granted NW did a nice job on them but the stats beg to differ with your hyperbole in the last month of the season. Oh, and they used their 3rd string RB for the last 10 games or so. The others will be back. It remains to be seen how they do returning from injury.
Very serious. NU stopped up that offense completely on cruise control, playing an extremely vanilla defense.
That's a great recap. I agree. Should be on cruise control again this year. Nothing to worry about.
Fleck will hav3 his half dozen or so decommits as usual. Probably the lowest rated guys that Fleck ignores as signing date nears. You should be ok.
Agreed. The RB and WR groups have gotten a lot of PR, but didn’t look scary at all in person.
Glad the game is played on the field and not in the minds of gamblers and delusional fans.
The defending B1G West champions are not going to fade away that easily.
Amazing, how, even with those two "best" recruits, your average commit rating for the 2020 class is still only 85.31, ahead of only those BIG ten powerhouses Indiana, Maryland (a team with a brand new coach), and Rutgers. Quantity does not equal quality...
Considering the fact that they have underestimated Northwestern by a total of 14 wins over the last 4 years, 9 would seem a good estimate this year for NU based on the 6 starting point. I have them at 8; beating 6 seems to be easy money.
I used to think of Minnesota as an occasionally competitive team in a frozen wasteland. (Intentional insulting scorn added). Didnt they have a blog called "fringe bowl team"?
Luckily, with annoying Fleck and now a few inexplicably arrogant fans, this has suddenly gotten more interesting. I used to root for them to win the Axe just because they are NOT Wisconsin. Now I see the error of my ways
