I honestly don't know how anyone with common sense can honor Maroney and not Barber at the same time. Their names are synonymous with each other. When it is said and done, Laurence Maroney is probably my favorite Gopher of all-time, but you can't say his name without MBIII. It was the "Barber...

I think you would be surprised. If you take away his first two years and 2025 he is winning 80% of his games outside of the Watson/Lawrence seasons. Post Trevor Lawrence Era 2025: 7-6 2024: 10-4 2023: 9-4 2022: 11-3 2021: 10-2 Trevor Lawrence Era 2020: 10-2 2019: 14-1 2018: 15-0 Non...

100%. 4 of the past 5 seasons were better than any of the 18 seasons before Dabo arrived.

It is crazy how he worked for 36 years in the local market and when I hear his name I think of the Kill incident.

The only other thing I would add is I HATE the saying "more games are lost than are won." While that is true, I rarely find Fleck playing to win the game, being aggressive, etc. Other than that your list is great.

I mean this with utmost respect to my favorite team. Nebraska is us, just 30-40ish years newer.

100% because it has been proven in nearly every college football season that losses late in the year usually impact you more than losses at the beginning of the year. Lets say Penn State and Alabama are both 8-2. Penn State is ranked 10 and Alabama is ranked 11. Penn State is playing 6-4...

This will never happen for a variety of reasons and I am guessing there are clear rules (if the NCAA still has rules) against this, but I would love for the U to give me an option when I purchase my season tickets... do you want your mandatory donation to towards an NIL collective or the...

I wish I could bottle up that Penn State game and experience the fun of that game frequently. I really thought we made it and that was going to become the new normal of Gopher football.

100% - I rank our trophy games in the following order: 1) Axe 2) Pig 3) Jug 4) Broken Chair 5) Victory Bell Never once when we played Penn State did I ever think 'we need to get the bell back' anymore than I thought 'it would be nice to beat Penn State.'

Disagree. Was there a few years ago. Electric atmosphere.

I always enjoyed 'win a pie for it' and after Bateman's opening drive TD vs. PSU in 2019 'this place has gone nuclear.' I use both lines more times than most should and everyone looks at me like WTF?

According to MSHSL Numbers (Free/Reduced Lunch Factored In) Moorhead is the 23rd biggest school in Minnesota. Some notable schools that Moorhead is bigger than: Lakeville North, Mounds View, Hopkins, and Lakeville South. Schools like Osseo and Woodbury are only 100 students bigger than Moorhead.

I am kind of in the minority (maybe), but wish we were hosting a game Friday, October 16. Still think it is a missed opportunity to host a game on MEA Weekend. Zero high school games. All eyes on the Gophers. For the fans complaining about having to work on Friday. I pray I never have a job...

I am not a huge drinker, but if my college aged kid got an underage consumption and a fake ID, I think I would laugh at him and say be smarter. If he was driving or doing something different.... much different story.
