The overall attendance seems to have finally reached a consistent level as well, especially with the students. I sit fairly close to the student section and there were some frustrating years where I would whine about the student section being in better shape at the Metrodome than it was at the...

A lot of the current MN HS jrs and seniors were at impressionable ages in 2019 when it became clear what this program can be. On the other hand, they are far too young to have a memory of Mason come from ahead losses or Brewster bear hunts.

As we get close to the 60's, we need to talk 71 and 70... Shannon Brooks with one of the prettier 71 yard TDs I can recall - vs Purdue: But you can't bring up Shannon Brooks without mentioning Rodney Smith, so we have 70 covered too with his 70 yard TD vs Maryland.

It was just a couple oversweet premix margaritas. I’m not sure if I even got it right so I am going to try again tonight.

Demry Croft proved even mediocre Gopher teams quarterbacked by forgettable players can run up the score and win vs Nebraska, with this 72 yard scamper.

I've decided to drink an extra one in your honor when I get home tonight.

This question is posed pretty much every year. The new RB commit Estrada is apparently a 4* so that would definitely help the average for this class and push it toward the 20's.

His dad used to patrol the freeways of southern California on a police motorcycle. Or at least that is what I am thinking.

73! My all time favorite 73 yard touchdown. Tanner Morgan and Tyler Johnson connect on a 73 yard bomb that was like a knife straight through the heart of Auburn.

It was a “knee jerk reaction” dating back to the 1960’s and beyond. There were a LOT of reasons for change and that has been the case for a LONG time. I wouldn’t expect you to understand the branding stuff, given what I have read from you as it relates to Gopher football over the years.

There is good flag design, and then there is bad flag design. Words on a flag is bad design. Pictures on a flag is bad design. A government seal on a flag is poor design. There were about 15 states with state seals or similar on blue bedsheet designs. Multiple examples of these states have...

I recall Gray's twins being born. Now they are playing AAU ball at the 13 year old level. Yikes! Glad he stuck around. Always liked him as a Gopher.

so it was $200 in 2023 and $254 in 2025? Who do they think they are? McDonald's?

I could see the close games going the wrong way and being disappointed at 7-5 or (eek) even 6-6. As is usually the case, the close games tend to get balanced out and that would be 8-4. But, now that I have lived through 2019 I will also not be surprised if things go the Gopher's way and the...

I'm a day early for 78 but I might not be on line tomorrow and I don't want the possibility missing the chance of tipping my cap to a 78 yard punt that directly results in a win over Meat Chicken. On October 25, 1941, Minnesota, ranked #1 in the AP Poll, played Michigan, ranked #3 in the...

Here’s an example. I produced a harmless tik tok of a nighttime campfire at our cabin with loons calling loudly in the background. It did pretty well by my humble standards. Lots of views and over 1000 comments. Most were memories of staying at little resorts up north, reminiscing that it is...

ANY statistic that suggest Mpls being anything but a burned out death ridden war zone. I really have to explain this stuff?

I saw one on tik tok this week (granted, anyone can produce a tik tok regardless of their level of college football knowledge) that ranked the B1G's QB's for 2025. The Gophers slid in at #18 on that one. I have noticed the problems in Madison Wisconsin have finally become obvious enough that...

I love how the Gopher program has become a dback NFL pipeline and how that has allowed Fleck to start dipping into 4 star territory in his recruiting in that area. The more NFL success, and the more contracts like Bateman's, the more of a pattern that suggests Minnesota doesn't have to be a...
