UM 17 UI 13

Why would integration in the South affect UM more than the other conference teams? I think you had it right at the beginning -- VIkings and Twins distracted fans and media.

"...Minn had a ton of success before 1960..." What changed after 1960?

Better games if UM can compete with those teams.

UM 24 UN 10

Not to be flippant, but one easy way to distinguish Good teams from Not Good teams would be to consider half of all CFB teams (by Division) "Good" and the other half "Not Good." And you can't know that until the end of the season.

We haven't seen that and I wonder why in certain situations.

Good to see Perich on the field. Meanwhile, what is LeCaptain's status?

From this point forward this season, six wins seems like a difficult goal to achieve.

Think of the first two drives after halftime. NC drives 400 yards in 60 plays for a FG after sputtering in the first half. Gophers throw two incs and get stuffed on a rush and punt. What was talked about in the two locker rooms during the halftime?

Beat Illinois and either Iowa or Wisconsin. Win a bowl game.

You didn't go back far enough. The Gophers were a solid, winning program prior to 1961. Then something happened that dropped the Gophers to decades of what you describe. No one wants to discuss what happened in 1961.

Seems his record has been down since. Homesick?

We read criticism of Gopher recruiting frequently here. But has anyone attempted to explain why it is difficult to attract top talent to Minneapolis? Has the U bought a study? Have we asked candidates we've lost why they chose other schools.

Careful. Minnesota is dark-blue loyal to her party.

It's a bit like Obi v Darth. College football was once the master and the NFL was a Sunday afterthought. Today's younger fans grew up with the NFL as the master and to them making college ball into an obedient apprentice makes sense. Being an old codger, I wish college ball was played by...

There's not much about college left in major college FB. My interest is nearly gone for D1.

Since we're now going to have two more TOs, I'd like to see CFB change the team TOs to Five Per Game rather than Three per Half. Or even Four per Game.

I agree that Washington is doing well in a difficult environment. What have they done to succeed that UM hasn't?

I wish I had kept some of the posts from a year ago when AK was considered the star of the future as B is now. Fans are always optimistic about the next QB. I hope B is as helpful as predicted and that Lindsey is a good replacement and stays with the program.
