Judging and policing are two different things though. Judging is cheap, easy to do, and usually harmless.

47! One of the best semi-recent developments in Gopher football has been the ongoing win streak over Nebraska (5, and hopefully further growing). Some of these wins have been blow outs. Others involve come from behind heroics and walk off 47 yard field goal.

48! For 48 we get a reminder of what might have been had Phillip Nelson’s Gopher career hadn’t become complicated (and short).

49! Thanks to my niece’s wedding, the pre-Deon blowout of Colorado in 2022 was one of 3 Gopher games I have missed (non Covid) in the history of the Bank. It was a game where the final score was a lot closer than what was indicated by the play on the field. Hated to miss this one. Minnesota 49...

I am seriously considering taking a week (or more) off of work and doing a road trip through some national parks and ending up in Seattle for the Gophers game at Washington next season. This trip would include our tailgate gear and reserving a spot there for the game. We did the same thing for...

We have reached 50 days until Gopher football Kobe McCrary with a 50 yard TD run vs an overmatched Indiana State squad.

Here’s another one predicting bottom 4 B1G https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6exorS4/ Again, I can’t say this enough: anyone with a keyboard and an account can post stuff like this. I’m just surprised how often I see stuff like this regardless of how valid the prognostication is.

51! For 51, we have a 51 yard TD run from last season from Darius Taylor, in a ho-hum blowout of Maryland.

The one I just shared above had the Gophers tied for 13th at 5-7. Woah that’s low, eh?

52! 2009. First ever game in TCF Bank Stadium. First ever defensive touchdown in the stadium on a massive play from Nate Triplett. His 52 yard fumble recovery TD was the biggest play in the inaugural game in the new stadium.

I think of this thread every time I see something like this, and I see this A LOT. Again, I have no idea who this person is, he may have never seen a college football game for all I know. But this is remarkably common/typical on the internet, where everyone has a voice...

53! For 53 we need to take a step back from specific yardage touchdowns to TOUCHDOWNS in general, as in rushing touchdowns. As in a school record 53 rushing touchdowns. Mo Ibrahim took an underwhelming 40 time and a small body and somehow rode it all to a school record number of rushing TDs.

54! We don’t need much set up for 54. Just Maxx Williams being Maxx Williams.

55! Tony Dungy threw a 55-yard touchdown pass for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers in 1974. The recipient of the pass was Rick Upchurch. This was the longest passing play of the year for the Golden Gophers in 1974. Dungy played quarterback for Minnesota from 1973 to 1976 and set...

Great points, observations so far. Listing the losses to opponents with losing records is particularly helpful.

The context of "bad losses" here is not games where the Gophers played a tough opponent and got blown out when playing poorly on top of being an underdog. I'm simply referring to games against bad opponents that the Gophers had no business losing, but did. So, games like the 2019 matchup with...

I think 10-2 is possible. But, I also think 6-6 is possible. I think both of those seasons are equally likely to happen, with the more likely situation being something in the middle - 7-5 or 8-4. I will say that IF the Gophers somehow climb to a 10-2 season, it will feature a stunning upset of...

I just think it is amazing you are on a first name basis with both of them. Definitely fun to get insider level info to this degree here on Gopherhole.

For 56 we go to October 16, 2021. The team that the Gophers always seem to beat in recent years came to town for yet another loss at the hands of MN. The game was iced by Bryce Williams' 56 yard TD run with just over 2 minutes left in the game. The 56 yard TD is at the 2:48 mark of this...

For 57 we go back to 2015 in a hard fought game with Ohio State that featured a late comeback that fell short against the defending national champs. KJ Maye had a big game vs the Buckeyes with 10 receptions for 116 yards including a beautiful 57 yard catch and run to set up the Gophers second...
