While class rankings at least provide some chat bait - portal success is as good, if not better, indicator of class potential

CBS still has Maryland (1-4 in the B1G) ahead of us, and they have games at Rutgers, Ill and MSU and a home game against Mich. They are 4-4 overall and did not play a non-conference game against a P4 school

Did not the know hard casts were no longer allowed (but it makes sense). Saw an interview of Lou when he was with the Hawks in the NBA - said that playing with the cast in his collegiate senior year permanently altered his shooting. He was not complaining (he had a great HOF NBA career), but...

Limiting my selection to something I saw in person (not on TV) - have to mention Voshan Lenard in a triple OT win over Iowa at Williams in March 1994. It was set up as Lenard's last game at the barn (but he ended up coming back for his senior year) and he did not disappoint, 38 points. The shot...

Anyone heard of what the "Gopher Sections" might be at Wrigley?

$50k is hardly a fine these days (especially in the SEC) - Kirby Smart can probably find that in his sofa cushions

My son-in-law is a huge Hawkeye fan, but he is also a really great guy. (However - never, ever bring up the "phantom fair catch signal" - just leave that one be....)

While it honestly is hard to choose, but one play that has not gotten as much attention is the first Brockington catch. We were deep in our own territory and on third down Lindsey zipped it into a very small window for a Le'Meke catch and first down. The 98 yard drive (the defining sequence of...

Was surrounded by many Husker fans at the stadium, of course they mostly sat on their hands. However, after the field goal a Nebraska guy behind me goes "Harriet, that does it, we're driving back tonight!" and promptly left the stadium.

Brewster still generates a lot of bad taste in certain Gopher supporters - wore a Brewster Gophers T-shirt to a poker game of my tailgate buddies last year - was almost thrown out of the house...... Only let me play if I promised to burn it

"P.J. Fleck is BEST Minnesota Gophers coach in 75 years!" Assuming they are only talking about football - that's a pretty low bar. Overall, I would say Herb Brooks would get my vote

While he has infuriated many on this website over the years (and at times I believe he purposely eggs Gopher fans on - just to see the reaction), some of his more "human interest" sports stories about various legacy players and teams are why I still enjoy his writing.

Good point - their non-conference "P4 game" was against Oklahoma State (who is, by far, the worst team in P4). The Nov games against Iowa in Iowa City and home against USC may give a better indication of where they are at

Many people left early from our section (207) because they were not dressed appropriately. Everyone was in short-sleeve T-shirts during the tailgating and did not think the temps (along with the wind) would require jackets/sweatshirts in the stadium.

Now that Franklin is gone, it is almost hard to believe that, of current head coaches, Fleck is the second longest tenured in the B1G (longest? - Ferentz of course)
