You are right... but the lawsuit wasn't dropped until 2019. When he took over it was still accusations of sexual assaults and a month after he was hired 4 players were expelled from the university.

Chip wrote a nice article about Jerry Kill today. https://www.startribune.com/chip-scoggins-jerry-kill-minnesota-gophers-vanderbilt-commodores/601509123 Side note: Did it ever become public if him and Rebecca got divorced? I think we all kind of assumed they are and there is no mention of...

One would argue the culture needed to be changed... unless you are cool with sexual assaults, team boycotts, etc.

Two sides to every coin... Fleck took over a program that was a few hours from boycotting a bowl game with major sexual assault allegations against multiple members of the team. To take it a step farther... The dad, who happened to be a former all-pro, of the best player on the team, was on the...

This is 100% the reason why I can't remember the last time I watched a college basketball game that wasn't the Gophers or March Madness. College basketball used to be my favorite sport, now I don't even watch it when it is on TV unless it is my favorite team.

Agree - Fleck can be ripped on a lot, his in-state recruiting is not one of them. There are obvious misses. I read during the Nebraska week that Emmett Johnson focused mainly on basketball until he blew up his senior year and Fleck recruited him as a D-Back. If memory serves correctly, Zach...

You do what you need to do, but this is a strange time to move on. In the last 60 years we are in the best stretch of football we have had. I know it doesn't say a lot, but it is what it is.

Minnesota is a unique place - I feel like there are Twins fans, Gophers fans, Timberwolves fans, Wild fans... but there are more diehard Viking fans than the rest of the fans combined. I am probably a prime example - I absolutely love the Gophers, but on Sundays I bleed purple. You either...

They have a lot of Casey's Gas Stations and they make a nice pizza. Went to an Iowa game a few years ago with my dad. Driving home listening to the Iowa post game show I felt like it was the mid 80s and I was a kid riding with my dad again. Everything seemed 1980s... right down to the scenery...

I can respect your opinions. I don't necessarily love the afternoon games because they take up the entire day, but to each their own. Thanks for sharing.

I would agree, the atmosphere is no different than any other night game, but by committing to Friday you are guaranteed to have the night game. Otherwise we aren't guaranteed to get a night game. I am genuinely curious and not judging or looking to argue, but why do you not like the Friday...

The counter argument, and I think anyone that attends games would agree, our fans have been 100% different since 2019. Comparing any game in 2018 isn't fair. I'd even argue those were still the days where have the crowd was red when we played Wisconsin or black when we played Iowa. That's not...

I'll add the Michigan State/Halloween game. I don't remember the year, had to be early on, I was a lot younger and had a heckuva buzz going into the game.

I agree - there was nothing ugly about the win. In a weird way I can get on baord with the we did eke out a convincing win part. Mainly because the game, score-wise, was never out of control, until the end and all of a sudden we were up by a couple of touchdowns and Nebraska couldn't do...

I knew some people from the area and from what I understand was the Randolph was 9-Man in the late 80s/early 90s but then made the decision to opt up to 1A until around 2010ish. In those 20 years fans didn't see many wins. They played 9-Man from 2010ish-2020ish and had some good-not-great, but...
