    couldn't be happier with that first half

    So interested in this game. Time to find out how good Minnesota is. They won a few really close games early against fairly weak competition (by 7 over SD St, by 3 in OT over Fresno State, by 3 over Georgia Southern. Then their Big Ten schedule has been pretty light so far too but they obviously turned some sort of corner as they started blowing those teams out (by 23 vs. Illinois, by 27 vs. Nebraska, by 35 vs. Rutgers and by 42 against Maryland). Now 3 of their last 4 games are against PSU, Iowa and Wisconsin. Should be interesting. if we hadn't been blowing out the Big Ten teams, I'd be less excited. But as things are if we can beat Penn State, that would go alooonnng way to pushing the Minn football program forward. Considering losing Jerry Kill for health reasons, the defensive backfield running a train on some chick and all the crap that brought, coupled with my reservations towards PJ Fleck (I felt he was too unproven to truly turn around a BigTen program), I couldn't be more happy with the current results. We just extended PJ for 7 more years. Maybe he will be our Barry Alvarez. in any event, I will be watching this game with much anticipation.

    Happ ML games in CF: 130 Happ ML games at 2B: 59 Pro CF: 254 Pro 2B: 187 Just go get a glove first backup for him and the other two what I mean is his ability to field it at a higher level then, say, Heyward. If Heywards glove is better, then why not play him at CF and look for a solid RF'er? Is it true that a defense of Schwarber/Happ/Heyward is better then a Schwarber/Heyward/Castellanos OF? And when you factor their bats, is Happ an upgrade over Castellanos?
  9. minnesotacubsfan
    I agree with this overall, but I'm not sure I love him in CF. We just don't know enough of his ability to play it to give him a full time seat there imo. I'd rather he was our 2b with Nico in the wings.

    (4) Penn State at (17) Minnesota (12 pm, ABC) VERY EXCITED

    the deep pass shows it, if it doesn't develop exactly as it was dialed up and wide open he cant decide what to do.

    Mitch should just start to realize that teams are playing straight up on his ass because no one believes he's smart enough to beat them regardless of how they play him
  14. minnesotacubsfan
    his quiet demeanor and soft touch will aid him well as a coach

    i'd take that candy corn all day long thank you

    Going into the Charger game, he had only missed a single field goal, and not a single extra point. He had made 20 out of 21 kicks (combined XP and FG). So because he wasn't perfect for the season at that point, he wasn't playing all that great? That's a weird hot take. So it was a gimme! pretty close to it
  17. minnesotacubsfan
    how does missing by inches make the wind less of a factor? again, not saying it's an excuse for this kick but are you saying the wind is only a factor if a kick is missed by a mile? at this point I'm 98% spitballing. But I do think Pineiro hasnt been all that great and has work to do in order to not become the next Parkey. He's not playing all that well
  18. minnesotacubsfan
    he missed the filed goal by inches. the field wanst the issue. the weather wasnt the issue. he just flat out aimed poorly, ever so slightly poorly, but poorly. it had plenty of distance and its not medical waste it was ground up industrial waste from Gary Indiana
  19. minnesotacubsfan
    It was 50° with a 6 mph wind in full daylight. The stadium was not a factor last Sunday.
  20. minnesotacubsfan
    I'm not saying Nagy shouldn't have, he definitely should have done so. That's why (among other reasons) Nagy sucked. But I cant forget that Pineiro should be able to nail that kick. One stupid decision/mistake piling onto another stupid decision/mistake is the recipe for a perfect disaster.

    sofa being an Iggles fan seems like a gimme.

    its all we have to judge on unfortunately. sure, he can get better, he SHOULD get better. but he might not, he might be horsefeathers forever! Well he was also 12 for 15 from 40-49 in college and 5-5 from 50+. Probably some preseason stats we can round up too.. Or he's at least as good this year from 40-49 as the guy that 80% of Bears fans wanted to trade for. Robbie Gould? Gould, is old. Sorry for the rhyme but he was due for a regression. and look at that, Pineiro has proved to be damn close to a gimme at 80% in the past. what gives? was there a hard right-to-left wind that Nagy just couldn't feel? Weather report says the wind was sw 6 mph, so that shouldn't have been a significant factor. Maybe it was the sun being too bright on the left hashmark. Video replay says nope it was sunny everywhere on the field. he flat out miss-aimed his kick. he sucked and collectively the Bears sucked. THAT my friends, is a gimme.

    pretty. damn. close. to a gimme. it was. it is. and it will always be. besides, Pineiro is stuck at 50% so regardless if a gimme is close to or at 80% or 100%, he flat out sucks at it.
  25. minnesotacubsfan
    well, yes, actually it is pretty close to a gimme. the 80% is fgs from 40-49 yards. clearly a 41 yarder is easier to hit then a 49 yarder and if 80% is the average overall, I'll stick my neck out ans say a 41 yard fg in the nfl is pretty damn close to a gimme.
