Just based on the press release, I’d say this smells like something that KC, PJ and Franklin discussed at length. I would not be surprised if PJ was given the courtesy of seeing the release before it went out. All the quotes focus on tradition, home, KC being a fan of Penn State growing up...

Have there been any direct quotes from KC in the press as of yet? I believe what he says will be very telling regarding the true reason why he left Minnesota. If he sticks to the “I’m a Pennsylvania guy, going home, closer to family” script he gives PJF a ton of latitude to spin the PR around...

What if PJ hid a microphone in the teakettle and had Kinch relaying every move of Panagos to Colonel Hogan?

Having lived in the Atlanta area for the past 14 years (I grew up in MN and graduated from The U in ‘94) I get two types down here. The first are SEC fans that look down on any other conference. I was on the fringes of a discussion just last week where Ohio State was tossed around like a non...

The U of M ticket office has two levels of tickets — Stadium Club and Main Stand. Raymond James Stadium also has tickets for sale. Any thoughts on the best place to purchase tickets for the game? I will likely take my son. Would be our first bowl game. So just need two tickets and would...

BS has such a lazy and ridiculous take. As a team improves and expectations are raised there are clearly going to be less “wow” wins. There are very few teams that are ranked in the top 10 that truly have wow wins. I really enjoyed this season. Would it have been better if we had beaten...

This is the equivalent of Pat sniffing his own flatulence and describing how pleased he is with the aroma. (Apologies if that feels too crude for anyone.)

I used to enjoy reading Pat’s columns going back to the 80s and the PiPress. But he jumped the shark many years ago. He’s not entertaining. He’s predictable. He’s helped perpetuate a negative and farcical perception of Gopher football through his ridiculous takes for many years. As a Gopher...

As Wisconsin has won the vast majority of recent axe games, Gopher fans can often downplay (in typical understated Minnesotan modesty) the validity of the rivalry. Well, ESPN has provided a convenient recap of the history of this week’s rivalry games. You can see it here...

There’s a new sheriff in town. And his name is... Goldy Gopher.

Both my parents went to Michigan. I grew up watching every football and basketball game they played in the late 70s and 80s. Our traditional rivals — Wisconsin and Iowa — are easily my most hated teams. In this regard, Nebraska is just a notch below as I’m finding they have very nice fans in...

This is the most agonizing sports week I can remember. On Sunday, I warned my family that it would be in their best interest to be out of the house on Saturday afternoon. All my children, of which there are four, can recite, on cue, “better dead than red”. The unintended consequence is that...

I don’t believe Pat is recoverable in my eyes. I’ve read his columns since the mid ‘80s. And very much looked forward to his take on things. However, over the past two decades he’s been more WWE spin man than a journalist. Some of his takes have not only been bad and wrong, but have cut...

Hungan, thoughts and prayers to you and your wife. Casey’s inspirational story will have another positive chapter written! Row!

You are somewhat making my point in that this game is more important for Wisconsin. (Not to take away that it is very important to both teams.) If the Gophers lose, it’s same-old-same-old. Nothing to see here. If they win, it truly signifies change. There’s a new sherif in town. And his...

If you went to their message boards you might think differently.

I completely agree. If we win, especially if it’s in convincing fashion, it will signal that there is a new Alpha in the conference. The hand-wringing in Madison will reach agonizing levels. Not to mention they lose JT and still have a less than average passing game.

The Nebraska game on October 12 had similar weather to what is currently expected for the game on Saturday. It had rain and snow. Gophers only passed for around 120 yards. But we put up over 300 on the ground. Dominating performance in that regard. I would bet the coaching staff knows a lot...

- Sally’s on Fridays and Saturdays (often also on Thursdays). The Daily was located just above Sally’s at the time and I’m pretty sure I bought the first beer (one of many) in the establishment when it opened. - Evans Scholar parties - Walking thru campus every day - New classmates every...

I graduated from the U of M in '94 and did not attend a single game while in school. The boys were playing in the Dome at the time and I was working my way through school. Graduated with significant debt. Blah, blah, blah. I don't think they could have gotten me to games while I was in...
