I've read that Minneapolis is considering putting in a bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics. There is a facebook group supporting it that has a picture showing a conversion of TCF Bank Stadium to be used as the Olympic Stadium. Here it is...

Does anyone know if Fisch has to pay any kind of penalty for bailing after 1 year? I've never heard of a coordinator's buyout, but it can be very disruptive to a program, you'd think it wouldn't be a bad idea. Please put aside any disdain for Jedd in answering this question.

I'm reading a biography of Chris Farley called The Chris Farley Show. Apparently Joel Maturi was dean of discipline and head football coach of his high school while he was there. There are some great passages about the two of them and one thing I found hilarious is that Matt Foley...

I was wondering what the NCAA record is for most penalty yards in a game and, for a bonus, most penalty yards in a game by a the winning team. I have to imagine that not many teams have overcome 157 penalty yards to win the game.

Ok, so I'm excited about tomorrow and I'm rewatching the NW game. When Fitgerald called that time out before the half, Brew was calling the team over to talk about it and Weber must have been like WTF? because you can see Brew say "He's just being an ass." Not quite as funny as "Hit my...

What happened to Mars (I believe that's the song I'm remembering)? WAY better than GNR, that's for the NFL.

I really wish this baby hated "On wisconsin" but this will do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Taqdh-3eYZY

What if the same thing happened in overtime? If we went first in overtime and we made a field goal and a leaping penalty gave us first down, would you not take the points off the board and go for the touchdown? This came up while playing NCAA 10 just now and I thought it was relavent. It's a...

I walked by the stadium and while I was watching the flags atop the goal posts flap in the wind I got to thinking. In the dome, IIRC, depending on how the coin toss went we would defend so that the opponent was driving toward the student section in the 4th quarter because it was the loudest...

Just wondering if anyone is intentionally missing the scrimmage so their first time in the completed stadium will be for the first game?

I don't even know if this thought makes complete sense to me, but the Darkins picture on the countdown thread got me thinkning. I hate the M-M jerseys, but I think it would be a cool throwback game jersey. I guess I just hate them as an every game jersey, but their novelty would be fun for one...

Did anyone else go to the maiden voyage of the Surly trailer last night at Stub and Herbs? I was told that it will be parked there for Gopher games along with other beer trailers, there was a grill with burgers and brats, and there will be music the next block over. This is where I will be...

Right now...lights on.

I was reading the wikipedia page for the new stadium and the possibility of the Olympics/World Cup/etc. got me thinking. Since the turf is not painted, but actually different colors, how would they change the field for other events?

This was posted on the Gopher Hole Facebook page, but there is no other info...what's up?

Check out this video for fantasy football, kinda like the old Powerade commercial. Maroney is the last one on the video. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1903600

Where is all this talk about USC being #1 coming from? They will have the same number of losses as the winner of Florida/Oklahoma at the end of the year and they come from a weaker conference, will have beaten a weaker bowl opponent, and didn't have to play a conference championship game. I...

I'm watching the 1974 Michigan vs. Ohio State game and Michigan attempted a 58 yard field goal. It missed short and bounced out of the back of the endzone and they called it a touchback. That isn't still the rule is it? Also, I saw a highlight from the Vikings game last week and it looked...

PSU and OSU both have 1 loss and OSU lost to PSU head to head.
