36-13 free throw difference (or something close to it) delivered by the all-SEC team officiating crew…

From Stoll to early Mason the purpose of football was to distract us in the fall until the real winter action of Musselman/Dutcher/Haskins/Brooks/Buetow/Woog….

Fifty four years of Gopher basketball…I suppose the Betts’ foul rivals the Burleson backwards pass against Illinois in 2002 for sheer foible. The latter was far more consequential costing us a NCAA berth. I’m hoping this defeat somehow appeases the basketball gods in a lost season so the fates...

The University committed to playing three years at the Metrodome and then could evaluate whether it wanted to remain a tenant. The Board of Regents voted on the matter. Holtz spoke in favor of remaining at the Metrodome citing its recruiting advantages and the option of playing Saturday night...

Us older timers remember Carl Eller breaking a blackboard at halftime time of the ‘73 divisional playoff game against Washington—message: time for the bs to end after playoff defeats in ‘70 & 71: Gilliam had dropped a touchdown pass and somebody had dropped an interception.

Among other things—it will be great fun in 2025 to beat Nebraska for a sixth straight time.

SON’s description of the condition and ethos of Memorial Stadium is perfect. Read Danny Spewak’s book about the 1941 Gopher football team and the coming of the American entrance into World War ll for more incidental detaiks about the stadium. Prof. Ancel Key’s starvation experiments with...

Shades of the legendary “AggieVision” & the Las Cruces car demolition ads?

By way of sad comparison—even our 2006-2007 team with interim coach Molinari rose up and beat Purdue in the conference opener when Jamal Abu Shamala lit it up in the second half. There were 12,000 in the Barn roaring down the stretch like it was it was the 96-97 season. It seems like forever...

I believe—myself included—many MOTs fall into this category.

If both became consistently dominant players…that’s the ticket for a run to the playoffs—imagine a Bobby Bell & Carl Eller-type defensive line.

We’re going because we love Gopher football and this team is fun to watch—and we have family in Charlotte. It’s a shame, though. We had local headline grabbing wins over USC; UCLA; & Wisconsin but could not win the eight games necessary for a more desirable bowl game. Thus, the seriously...

Tomorrow’s look; the gold hoodie I wore at Camp Randall and a Vikings baseball cap—time to antagonize those east of the St. Croix..

I e-mailed AD Coyle after the release of the men’s basketball schedule to express my displeasure about the home non-conference slate. Somebody/some thing responded by thanking me for offering my opinion. I have seen him at a couple basketball games this year and—to your point—on the field at...

I had been a mild Coach Ben supporter his first three years. This year’s home NC schedule soured me on him. I hope the next coach is a bit more ambitious.

Missing Harrison Smith making a difference? Seems like there is confusion in the secondary.

Thank you— he has seen games in about 80 different seasons—missing the two years he was fulfilling his ROTC active-duty commitment (although there were a couple Minnesota games broadcast on the Armed Forces Network which he heard). His all-time favorite moment is from his first game: Sonny...

My 93 year old dad—who went to the 1940 Washington game and the 1941 Pitt game—says he’s the reincarnation of Bruce Smith.

He was at the game—looked like he was sitting alone.
