Any one of those matchups would be a pretty tough game for the Gophers. Some interesting matchups - for sure!

THERE'S finally the AK we know and love. Nice pick -- sure hope it stands!

Sure looks like you might have nailed it -- this does not look good. Gophers defense looks really bad today. 211 passing yards for AK just in the first half. UGH. Hope the Gophers make some good halftime adjustments...

However, I will NOT be shocked if we do not play well and lose to Rutgers. Rutgers is regarded as one of the bottom team in the Big Ten, but you don't want to go in there and take it for granted or look ahead to Penn St. and Wisconsin. I expect Rutgers to play their best and you know their...

He is REALLY good -- you have to enjoy him while you can and hope we can keep him. Barring injury or something really bad happening, we should be watching him in the NFL in a few years.

This is a good example of why you never quit. The three rules I would give to all the teams I coached was 1) Have fun 2) Play as hard as you can 3) Never quit. That third one can be tough sometimes but the payoff can be huge. If you walked away right after the tough loss vs. Michigan, then you...

One thing I really like about PJ Fleck is he takes these bowl games seriously. We have a nice win streak going and it will be fun to try to keep up the streak against a good team!!

Actually seeing the line moving up -- Gophers -3. This will be a tough game - we never seem to do well lately vs. Illinois and their hated coach but we need it bad to continue the momentum!

Wow - the oddsmakers with an incredibly soft line. I should have put a lot more than 200 on the Wolverines here. Gopher fans -- it does help soften the blow a little bit but watching this debacle unfold still sucks.

Mason was able to defeat every team in the Big Ten at least once, and I loved watching his offense. His Achilles heel though was his inability to recruit and develop defense so the Gophers were always prone to late game meltdowns. I have never felt worse after a football game than the great...

Ah the Dome!! My fave moments at the Dome were the Lou Holtz years where we went from the absolute rock bottom to a ray of hope to a minor bowl in 2 years. College years and I had season tickets in the front row. Seeing the athletes of Rickey Foggie, Darrell Thompson, Lawrence Maroney and Marion...

Here is my favorite -- and this is another NSFW but I would have been scared to death if he were my coach!!

I had read this book when it first came out, but just finished reading it again as it was a Christmas gift. This is a fantastic book and I could not put it down once I started. It is the story written by a reported named John Feinstein who had inside access for a year with Bobby Knight and the...

Hahaha -- the Vikings "whine line" after a loss is very predictable. I can imagine how much fun they have taking calls after a loss..............

I remember it wasn't all that long ago that Nebraska thought they would come in and just dominate the entire conference. That didn't exactly happen. I think USC is probably due for a surprise, especially when they come out for an away game in late November with 20 mph winds. They have no idea...

So the Big Ten is 5-4 with the national championship to go.....gotta love the Gophers!!!

Engle had a glitch where he wouldn't throw it hard back to the pitcher. Other teams kept delay stealing on him and he couldn't stop throwing lollipop tosses back to the pitcher.

we do this all the time. Not surprised. It just is what it is with Fleck.

This is a very even game. We look more like a MAC team than they look like a Big Ten team. I sure hope one of those transfers can play QB because we sure need him!!

A lot of these bowls games are won by the team that is more motivated for it and I think the Gophers are very motivated right now. They want to erase all the bad feelings of the last 4 games and I think PJ Fleck really goes for these bowl games. Add to the fact it's a chance to avenge maybe his...
