    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

    Top 25 Upset Weather vs Nebraska

    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.

    Franklin Fired

    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)

    Ugh - now I will have that ear worm "in my mind" for the rest of the day. :(

    Saturday will be the 17th game against the #1 team in the country. In those 17 games, Minnesota is 3-14. Last win was a 16-0 over Michigan.

    For the record, the Gophers: 1977 - Defeated #1 Michigan at home 16-0 1961 - Defeated #1 Michigan State at home 13-0 1960 - Defeated #1 Iowa at home 27-10

    Memory lane - attending a game at the shoe

    I have posted this before regarding games in "The Shoe" - but wanted to say "you were warned" Regarding an OSU trip? FWIW - here is my report from the 2023 game: If you have never been to Ohio Stadium, it might be worth one visit for the “experience.” I have gone to several games over the...

    Is Drake already better than Brosmer?

    Would agree with everything you said. And while he is somewhat mobile (the scramble/rollout throw to Tracy for 27 yards was my favorite completion today), he is not a runner at all - in fact I think he actually has run avoidance. It would be nice to at least be able to freeze some linebackers...

    Quincy Avery: Drake Lindsey is so much better than anyone understands. I truly and honestly believe he's gonna be a Rd1 pick when it's all said & done

    However - NFL QB success for a Gopher is a pretty low bar to surpass

    An 8th year senior - I'd try to somehow hang on for 2 more years: "A Decade of NCAA D1 Football"

    Former Minnesota standouts Tanner Morgan and Emma Carpenter will partner with play-by-play announcer Jason Ross Jr on Saturday's Gopher game.

    Agree 100%. Occasionally we might hear an injury update of value ("so-and-so will not be returning"), but that's about it. Always amused at the "Coach, you are down 27-0. What are you going to tell your players at halftime?" Response - "we gotta play smarter."

    Michigan gets its “penalty”

    A $20 million fine has gotta hurt at least a bit - even for Michigan. Will certainly give opposing fans some vocal ammunition - especially when on the road to schools like OSU or PSU. Not sure if the 25% reduction in official visits for 2025-26 really means much at all.

    Great Reusse column on his lifelong fandom of our Gophers!

    Going back about 20 years prior to that - I think Sid (who died in 2020) may have been the last person alive who personally witnessed Bruce Smith's spectacular 80-yard-run vs Michigan in 1940.

    College basketball’s most valuable teams (15. Minn $164M).

    This list is kind of nuts to say the least. MN is more valuable than UCLA? Florida? Anything in Texas (including Houston)?
