Geography probably played the biggest role. The only other Midwest team to appear in the game has been Wisconsin and that was during the covid season. Otherwise its all been east coast and southeast teams. Specifically and unsurprisingly, the Carolina schools have played there a bunch. North...

Not surprising but I think it comes down to getting those gem skill position players. For most seasons, the defense has been able to keep things in control, we've been alright with special teams and usually the offensive line has some solid players. The difference makers are the guys that can...

On this note, I think what has been built on the site of Memorial Stadium has definitely been a plus. The Minnesota Aquatic Center is a fantastic facility. Not sure if any other GopherHolers swam in high school, but the MSHSL State Championships are held at the U's Aquatic Center and it's an...

The bowl streak has helped a bit, but we've only had eight non-conference games against P5/4 teams, going 6-2. The majority of those wins have been built up in the Big Ten season which has certainly been nice.

I think 2022 hurt more in terms of the polls not buying Minnesota right away. The Gophers started 4-0, outscoring opponents 183-24. They went in ranked No. 21 Vs. Purdue for homecoming and dropped it. I think that's the last time the team has been ranked.

B- Won the Axe, took down USC for the first time in decades, won a bowl game and defeated a Bielema-led Illinois team that will likely finish in the top 25. Some frustrating losses to North Carolina, Penn State and Rutgers held the score back, but an 8 win season with that schedule is still...

Either a check or some Duke's merch.

Yeah Public Enemy was one of the big influences for the rap/hip hop genre in the 80s alongside Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash, Big Daddy Kane, Ice T and the like. Kind of helped lay the groundwork during that decade.

Since we've had some good WR and DB play in the last few seasons I figured I'd dig up some stats to see where current players compare. NFL Receiving Leaders - Wide Receivers Eric Decker, 2010-2017, Denver Broncos, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans, 5,816 yards, 53 TDs Rick Upchurch, 1975-1983...

I guess the hope would be that any replacement to Williams would be similar to what they did with The Bank. Seemed like they tried to keep the brick aesthetic and college atmosphere on the football side, but modernize it. Hopefully if they were to ever replace Williams it could be a similar...

I know the mayo thing is really gimmicky but this is probably the most Gophers coverage I've seen on SportsCenter in a while.

Did you hear the team announcing the Illinois game earlier in the season? Give me this any day.

Wish the whole defense was a choice. Other than the big play that led to the touchdown they really put the clamp down on VT. Preventing any points at the end when the Hokies were in the Red Zone was particularly impressive.

Gotta say, I'm proud of how Midwestern/Big Ten teams have looked this bowl season and glad Minnesota could join in on the fun. Penn State, CFP Semis Ohio State, CFP Semis Notre Dame, CFP Semis Indiana, CFP Berth Illinois, Won Citrus Bowl Michigan, Won ReliaQuest Bowl Minnesota, Won Duke's Mayo...

Some information after this game: PJ Fleck is now 7-2 all time in bowl games and 6-0 at Minnesota In postseason games overall, Fleck is 8-2 (MAC Title Game and bowls) Fleck now has 4 seasons with 8 or more wins. That’s the most since Bernie Bierman’s tenure (Glen Mason and Kill/Claeys eras had...
