OSU brought the team they played Michigan with. Oregon says “thank you very little”

I was at near Gopher levels in my backing of Penn State over Notre Dame tonight. Really wanted an all-B1G final and chants of “SEC! SEC!” Echoing through the stadium. For a brief moment I was thinking to myself “I don’t know what I’d do if the Gophers lost a game like that.” And then I...

I figured things were in hand well enough toward the end of the second quarter that I sent a text with the Gopher/PSU box score to a couple out of state friends with the comment nobody in the playoffs has played PSU as tough as the Gophers. It has been all Notre Dame since then.

I thought the band always went to bowl games? Don’t the bowls themselves pay for at least part of that?

This discussion has pointed toward a LOT of things that conspired to affect attendance. In an attempt to summarize them in order of importance: 1. First ever Charlotte bowl outside of the week between the Holidays. Definite "post holidays" downer vibe and anchor on people wanting to take time...

I used to love the Goal Post. I still bought them at the Metrodome but eventually with the existence of the internet, they just became redundant. Speaking of the Metrodome, between the different memories there and the woulda coulda shoulda things they should have done once the move became...

yeah, most of those other dates besides new year's eve take place between the holidays when a lot of people have either already taken time off, or are more willing to take time off as opposed to Jan 3 when a lot of people are in up to their eyeballs with work thanks to all the procrastinating...

I don't think it is usually AFTER January 1 as well, correct? I have no data, just my personal feeling but it seems like it is a tall order to plan travel and take days off AFTER the holidays as opposed to the week between the holidays. The opt outs are finally becoming problematic as well...

I guess I don't feel the burden of "what if" is on me. I'd say it would be easy enough to find out exactly what would happen if NDSU went to the FBS level without hypothetical guessing if... they simply went to the FBS level.

let me know if you need tech tips and tricks. I love to help. I know from experience in the tech industry your anxiety level will drop considerably. For example, instead of giving me a wide berth moving forward, I could show you how to simply block me by starting your "ignore list" with ME...

2 minutes, max. It was a fairly recent post of yours, right at the top of the second page. Perhaps you are not very techy and think this is voodoo magic or hours worth of investigation? I wasn't particularly offended by the broadcast in general or "level of silly" but I didn't like how they...

You’ve got it backwards. Most Gopher fans couldnt care less about NDSU, their football team, or their fans. It would have stayed that way. But Gopherhole (and personal experiences) was long ago invaded by Bisonville characters tooting their horns with all the crackpot inflated stories that have...

yikes. Not sure this discussion called for profanity but you do you. If you actually read the back and forth that you yourself had with me you will note I specifically said the numbers of NDSU fans may no longer be here on Gopherhole. But they certainly were in year's past. They "hung around...

- From the thread about the Illinois/Minnesota game broadcast This you? Do we have to seek permission to be underwhelmed with a Gopher Football game broadcast? Who makes up the rules as to what is "fun" and what is poor quality? People do tend to offer their opinions on a message board.

Yes, tons of it. Pretty much 2010 or earlier until recently. Enjoy browsing/searching. It sounds like you might be one of these NoDak people in Gopher disguise. You wouldn't be the first.

you are probably right. At least some sort of retirement unless/until the NDSU hordes return with more nonsense about how they would be in the B1G championship game every year.

We don't get the lineup of NDSU visitors like we did back in the day, so admittedly it isn't as much fun to pull out the schtick as it used to be. Used to get responses from NDSU people all the time but they just aren't around anymore, which is good. Instead, it is more likely to generate a...

I rewatched the game yesterday and it really struck me how little the cameras showed the bands or fans of either team. There were a lot of wide shots showing the stadium was empty and continual mayo tasting in the booth, and other mayo content... but very very little actual college football...

NDSU overcame Crown College, Montana State, South Dakota State, Winona State and Wisconsin Oshkosh and all the others to be crowned the kings of small college football again. Congrats to the Fighting Hawks! The big fish is once again the rulers of the small pond.

I was at an Oregon State game (a loss, for sure) in the late 70’s too. You and I were probably at the same game. I looked it up. October 7th, 1978. Gophers 14, Beavers 17. I would have been 11 years old. They played again on 9/26/81 but I know I wasn’t at that game because that one was a...
