Let's hear your complaints. I'm sure there is plenty, as there should be!

I think that PJ bails out of the boat after this season.
Making a bowl game is iffy.
He can't beat Ferentz--who plays the same game he does with a little more panache.
NIl is hurting the program, and unlike many schools, we don't have a sugar daddy alumni who gives massive amounts. Look at the states wealthiest people, and none are Minnesota grads.
Lastly; next years home schedule will find us an underdog in each BIG game: Penn.St., Iowa, Maryland, and USC.

Nebraska beats Illinois 20-7 on Friday night - Huskers improve to 3-3, Illinois drops to 2-4

Maryland puts up a fight, but loses at Ohio State 37-17, first loss of the season for the Terps

Wisconsin defeats a game Rutgers squad 24-13, Badgers are now 5-1, Rutgers falls to 4-2

- Loss falls on him, 100%
- Michigan beat us in every facet of the game
- Michigan was really efficient and they were off-schedule
- Loves how hard their guys keep playing - played 10 freshmen or redshirt freshmen
- Their are reasons to get better, but no excuses

- Michigan won the line of scrimmage, period
- Got to keep improving, get healthy, gotta get our starters back at a number of positions
- Got our ground game going, but would always have something that would set it back
- Our guys need reps and just keep playing, mentions Craig McDonald got reps when Jack Henderson got injured
- That's the first half of our season - we've seen everything already
- Played really good teams, draw a line in the sand, and get better in the second half
- We have to do everything better
- We're a little younger and a little inexperienced at certain positions

Half way into the season, I see a Minnesota team that is not getting better week to week.

I think you can make a strong argument that this is Fleck’s poorest coaching job since he got to Minnesota.

Span-Ford is non existent in the passing game. Well, there virtually is no passing game period. High school teams have a better passing attack than this bunch.

The offensive line is as bad a pass blocking unit as Callahan has had to work with.

Athan has zero time to throw.

Defensively there aren’t any impact players.

Just not a good football team. And with USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington coming in, it has the potential to get uglier.

Quality control guy Brian Sheehan is now coaching the tight ends. Andrew Sowder is still on the staff, not clear what he is doing.

Any news on Taylor and lindenberg. Lindenberg was expected back in week 2. Anybody know the injury?

Fleck is warning that Minnesota will lose players if money doesn't start pouring in. Do you think Minnesota fans will pony up the bucks? I just don't see Minnesotan's donating thousands of dollars for college players.
