There are so many things that I love about college football. The Gopher's mastery over Nebraska both now, and on an ongoing basis are a couple of my favorite things.

Lots of transplanted Minnesotans in the pacific northwest so I anticipate numbers to be closer to what showed up in the Rose Bowl a couple seasons ago than 2000. Perhaps not at the levels that went to the game at Colorado, but far more than an 'average' Gopher road game.

We are turning the Gopher/Huskie game into a great western road trip complete with national park visits on the way out there. We’ve got 16 tickets reserved and it should be a fun mix of locals, WA fans, Gopher fans, some flying, some driving, and a four day weekend in the SeaTac area. We will...

Same thing every year. Predictions of 5-6 wins and reality is 7-8 wins. A consistent discrepancy but the actual win total isn’t so dramatically better that it registers with these hacks. So, rinse repeat. Continuously qualifying for baseball park bowls makes it easy for the Gophers to annually...

The only way you can keep the Gophers from appearing on every bowl prognostication list as being slated for either the Pinstripe Bowl or the Rate Bowl, is to change the name of the Pinstripe Bowl or the Rate Bowl.

The league that has "cupcake week" has Coaches like Kiffen trying to tell media with a straight face that the B1G has been winning national championships because the league isn't as strong at the bottom and the top teams aren't getting worn out like the mighty SEC schools. The mighty SEC...

I hope the weather is brutal. I don't normally wish for bad weather. But for this one I am. Sometimes opponents wilting to bad/cold weather at the bank can be unexpected (Iowa in 2010, Purdue in 2018) but in this case it would totally be predictable if we get a cold snap or snow game.

I am gopherhole’s biggest SEC hater and this never ending whack-a-mole exercise of countering the SEC’s latest hypothetical set of superiority “facts” has nearly beaten me. But not quite. I am up for the challenge.

Tell me you haven’t been to a white out without telling me you haven’t been to a whiteout. I’ve attended one and it was most definitely not overrated. My kid went to law school there and had student season tickets for two of his three years (non ticket season was the covid season). He was...

It seems like Wisconsin has finally become consistently bad enough to actually rank below Minnesota in an off season power ranking. But, the same cannot be said of Nebraska - where 6 wins in a row over them still is not enough for them to be knocked from their well established lofty position in...

Hopefully Wisconsin is a smoldering crater by mid November and just playing out the season under an interim coach when the Gophers face them late in the month. The only good thing about not playing Nebraska in 2026 is the impressive Gopher win streak over them is 100% sure of remaining intact...

Well, she may end up pushing me even further. She will be in law school next year and she is still figuring out where. Iowa is a distinct possibility. Another whole set of team gear I don't have to ever worry about adding to my closet.

exactly! AND... to be the defacto college football commissioner while being in bed financially with one of the conferences is beyond insulting.

I not only could not care less about a 20 year old drinking alcohol a few weeks prior to his 21st birthday, carrying a fake ID, but the only reason I care at all is to react to those that do care.

I was just in Madison this past weekend for my daughter's graduation. She had a great 4 years there and is already filled with memories, as any college grad would be. She has always known to address me with respect over the whole sports rivalry thing and has never trash talked or purchased a red...
