Everything Casey. Drama drama drama in preseason but winning. Nervous but slaying the likes of Purdue, NE, MD. Creme de la creme - Mid November and we were still discussing National Championship scenarios. Alas, still need a Rose Bowl. Been saying ‘wait til next year’ for over four decades and...

Lou Holtz

If we are talking about Jeshurun’s DB list, I think Lou Holtz and Mitch Lee would be top 4. As much as I was a fan while he was here, ol’ Jer may deserve a spot - though that would be after his U tenure so maybe just a plaque down below the Mt Rushmore.

This is a neat story, thank you for sharing. As the Swede’s say - there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes. The metrodome and now US Bank stadium stole both our identity and contributed to people not embracing the true Bold North. Maybe a young lady from Hawaii can get a few more...

Pitino will forever be his father’s son - only with less success. That’s not what I want for my alma mater. You can’t start the healing until you stop the bleeding.

Exactly, this has nothing to do with Fleck and MN, just sucking up to Franklin and PSU fans. Tell them what they want to hear.

Do you remember what you were thinking when it was 3rd and 30? As a long time Gopher fan, I’m pretty good at going straight to depression and try not to spend long in denial or anger. But getting to acceptance is still hard. I was bargaining already with myself on how to accept a loss and what...

The question is based on a false premise that fans of the Twin Cities can be only one thing. Last I saw the Vikings were not in the Big 10 West so I’m not sure why people worry about them in respect to the Gophers. My guess is when both Vikings and Gophers do well, they actually improve the...

Does a school have to offer a fifth year? Here Howard had four years of scholarship and appears he will obtained a bachelors degree. Could the offer for him be - hey, love to have you on the team next year but it would be the equivalent of a PWO and we see you on special teams and 2-3 deep on...

It would have to not interfere with future recurring trips to Pasadena for me to go. Cheerios Bowl actually would work marketing-wise or Wheaties Bowl with winning team getting their picture on the box. Play up the winter, north, holiday season, etc. Players would like playing in an NFL...

We stopped at The Pit Stop. It was right on I75. The pork sandwich was not good, reminded me of jr high lunch.

Did the drive from Nashville to Gainesville today, too. Atlanta driving is brutal, even on a Sunday. I will not repeat that again. But our stop at the Varsity by Georgia Tech was really neat. Also stopped at a barbecue joint in Tifton where Bateman is from. Our waitress said her husband was...

it might be interesting to compare results in 4-5 years of Kaden Johnson against our Wisconsin signee Lucas Finnessy. They appear to be similar sizes. Kaden is considered very athletic and yet Finnessy is quick enough to play DB despite LB size. Finnessy was low profile on the recruiting trail...

This fan likes playing for the Rose Bowl. I think this likely ruins it. Also it probably further diminishes lesser bowls - not that they aren’t trivial already. I still think split national champions is good for the game. That allows comparisons to be made for all eternity.

Each Gopher season starts with this exit.

Agreed. It’s not the quality or that the Gophers are down. Even when the Gophers won four straight conference titles it was a snoozer. The regional competition was more fun. A road trip to Duluth or St Cloud (and vice versa) was doable. Your neighbor could be your friend and enemy at the same...

From a marketing standpoint, the Gophers are a pretty compelling case. Coach of the year, receiver and defensive back of the year. Two thousand yard receivers. PJ draws attention. The records remain close for WI, PSU and MN - each has 10 wins. So the Rose Bowl certainly could choose MN and it...

If you are a Gopher fan, Patrick insulted you. I quit reading Souhan when he attacked Kill over his health. I’m done with Patrick, too. Hope Sid can keep going because there is less and less of the strib I’m going to read.

Compare our program to other Big 10 West schools. I would say are three established programs: Wisconsin, Chryst has five years but really is a continuation of the program and they continue to be the most dominant team; Iowa and Ferentz at 21 years where his breakthrough year was year 4...

Is it like there is a righteousness that one must stand given the gravity of the game? I was fortunate enough to start going to games at Memorial Stadium at age 10 when I could not see over standing men. Now the benches at Memorial did allow for standing on them to help out for those moments...
