Minnesota Gophers are no match for mighty Ohio State

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 04:00:00 -0000

The Minnesota Gophers took one on the chin against Ohio State. It’s not that the Minnesota Gophers were beaten badly, it’s that the game went exactly as you might expect. The Minnesota Gophers were dominated as the defense put up little fight and the offense struggled to move the ball. Purdue comes to town next weekend for homecoming. Can the Minnesota Gophers defense stop Purdue? Right now, all signs point to no. Ross also quizzes Manny on the last time the Minnesota Gophers beat Ohio State back in 2000. Per usual, Manny’s memory and historical knowledge is insane.

Minnesota Gophers squander game in California; Koi Perich STRUGGLES!

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 13:00:00 -0000

The game was there for the taking for the Minnesota Gophers on Saturday night, but it was not to be for a variety of reasons. Koi Perich struggled in the punt return game by calling for a fair catch at the two-yard line and muffing a punt late in the 4th quarter leading to a Cal touchdown. YIKES! The Minnesota Gophers defense didn’t force one turnover and likely didn’t pressure Cal’s true freshman QB enough. The Minnesota Gophers offense struggled to score points too. It wasn’t all bad though and there were some good things to take away from the game. The Minnesota Gophers now have two weeks to get ready for Rutgers and fix all that ailed them against Cal. Ross Brendel and Manny Hill are back for Gophers 101 on SKOR North.

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 15:30:00 -0000

The Minnesota Golden Gophers did what they needed to do by easily handling Northwestern State on Saturday afternoon by a final of 66-0. The game was so lopsided in favor of the Minnesota Gophers that it was tough to point to anything learned in the victory, but Ross and Manny did find a few things. How and who will carry the load for the Minnesota Gophers when they take on Cal if Darius Taylor is unable to play next weekend?
