Fun game to watch. We had the power, just not enough horses. But for the guys we have, the hustle was never lacking. BTW, Michigan's #4 looks a lot like Voshon Lenard.

I wish I had seen tonight's win against Oregon! Grove dominated the stat sheet. By the numbers, the best game of his short career.

Blah blah blah. You think you're correcting me, but you aren't.

"...One of the most successful coaches ever to lead the Golden Gophers..." That's what I commented on. You only had to read to know that.

It drives me nuts when people compare coaches' win totals from different eras, as if 66 wins for Fleck means the same thing it meant for Henry Williams, Bernie Bierman, or Murray Warmath. I don't think Fleck is one of the most successful coaches in Minnesota football history. I think he's had...

I'm speaking to you as someone who hates NDSU and its fans, but who's spent decades living among them. Familiarity breeds contempt. I'm not wishing for this; I'm telling you that the school aspires to move up, they've been doing it, they plan to keep doing it, and I expect it to continue...

The goal, for the school and the fans, is not to be a member of the MWC. That conference is just a stepping stone. The goal is to hit the big time. I had the misfortune of living in Fargo for a long time, and I'm confident of this.

Can you explain, or am I supposed to guess what that means?

I appreciate your perspective and I respect your opinion, but the Fargo/Moorhead metro is about 275,000 and growing rapidly. Industry and commerce are bursting; unemployment is virtually nil. The entire metro is rabid Bison country, as is all of SE North Dakota and the greater part of west...

When they were D2 you would have thought the same thing about going to FBS. Wait and see.

No, it's interesting. I've been anticipating this for years. It's a biggish school, the flagship school for its state, lots of football success, with a rabid and irrational fanbase. I've thought for years that their natural eventual fit is the Big 12.

Here's 10-15 minutes of entertainment for you. Some of these guys sound irrational enough to be Gopherholers. https://247sports.com/college/michigan-state/board/93/contents/jeremy-fears-appreciation-thread-273263034/?page=1

The Gophers finally hung on to the end, and it feels good.

This has been a fun game to watch. Thank you, Coach Medved and team!

And Grove is the one doing the swatting. Generally speaking, defensive effort doesn't show up on a scoresheet, but it makes a big difference.
