Tabloid's deserve more respect than this comment. This is such non-news. This is the new reality. Coming off a decent season, why take a swipe? Perhaps you missed the memo that when we took our famous stand against the evils of college sports in 1961, the outcome has taken 30 years to start to...

And yet we have a respectable list of upsets and great wins starting in the last 80's and throughout the '90s that helped to get the program to where it is today. The history of Gopher football post 1961 is rough, I agree, but we turned a corner with the hiring of Holtz, no matter how much...

Soooooo beating #5 Penn State isn't relevant?

80's and most of the 90's you might not have been paying attention..... Great Wins In My Gopher fandom (since 1987): Gutekunst Era 1989 @ Iowa 43 - 7, Iowa wasn't great that year, but beating a rival at home by that score was awesome 1990 vs. #20 Indiana 12 - 0 1990 vs. #13 Iowa 31 - 24...

We've had some great wins under Fleck. The program, with the exception of the Tim Brewster era has been pretty stable since 1999. Fleck has taken that up a small notch, but up it has gone. If the measurement is we're stable and slightly better than before? sure that list make sense. The Duke's...

All wins are good wins. Some of what you have on here are not highlight reel wins, program defining wins, or stepping stone wins. A lot of these are wins against average to below average teams that are milestones wins. The milestones are good. The wins? All wins are good, but if we're...

There is always hope. Any ranking right now is conjecture. Rankings 13 and 8 could be interchangeable in the grand scheme of things. We have question marks, but so do other schools. If the players come together and if the O-line coaching staff figures out how to maximize the players' skills, we...

The only thing Brewster did was accept the job he was offered. While he was woefully inadequate at the job, made all the more obvious that here were some 15 years later, and he's been an assistant in a lot of places but is now at a D1AA school trying to make the leap to D1 and was denied 3 days...

I wonder if he'll use the same transparency and honesty he used that left Lindsay Whalen thinking she was getting a raise, not fired?

Anything accomplished on the field will be done by the players and coaches. During Coyles tenure he has at best been a non-factor, at worst mishandling all public communication and creating more friction and strife than anything else. The best things that can be said about his tenure, is he...

He'll always be Brett "Summer's Eve" Beilema to me. His antics in the Bowl game were hilarious, because it wasn't against the Gophers, and while amusing, the guy is a Douche. But he can coach.

Just raising the price tag of the chicanery and removing the fear of getting caught, since it's now legal. That's why the SEC is so pissed off. Now everyone is paying their players.

I was going to say 8', but the vaulted comment is making me change my guess to 12'.

He was recruited as a DB for the Gophers. The story at the time was that he asked for the opportunity to show them what he could do as a RB before committing. He didn't make it out of the first fall camp before he was switched to RB and demonstrated a toughness that made him exciting to watch...

Lost by a field goal in overtime - old rules overtime....the closest we've been to a first place finish in the B1G and a trip to the Rose Bowl since 1967—brutal lost opportunity.
