http://www.espn.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/140156/cfb-rank-the-big-tens-top-25-players-for-2016 No Gophers. I'm not surprised by that but some peculiar choices. Barkley is a weak top choice. I think McSorley was much better. I think Rodney must be borderline and Travis had to be considered.

With the regular season complete, what teams surprised you the most this year? Here is mine: 1) Michigan State. No way did I see this one coming. QB play didn't help but they were whooped on both lines. 2) Wisconsin. I thought they would be above average, but their defense is...

There is a rumor that the stein will be returned when the Slab of Bacon is returned. Can someone post the picture of our favorite Gopher with stein in hand? Was it Buck the Fadgers? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

I really like the way Coughlin is playing. He's starting to see the field a bit more and appears healed from his injury. When Coughlin came to the U of M, there was a debate on this board as to which position would fit his skillset. Is linebacker going to be Coughlin's long term position...

As Coyle approaches six months on the job, I'm curious to hear what Gopher fans think of his work. He's had some big issues with firing the wrestling coach, dialing back donations, and suspensions of football players. Coyle doesn't seem to be an attention grabber like Norwood. At the same time...

http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2016/09/74094/urban-meyer-opens-up-to-bleacher-report-about-mental-health I don't know a lot about Meyer but I've seen him written about with much scorn. This interview peels back the onion and he certainly let down his shield. I commend him. I...

I realize this is a football message board, but the Sports Show often talked Gopher football over the years. Will you be watching tomorrow night for the end of this era? Twenty years of this show is unbelievable. The production looked like it was made at Blooming Prairie public television...

I was a little surprised to hear Prince and Let's Go Crazy between the third and fourth quarter. It was underwhelming. The cameras panned to the student section and they seemed bored. The song didn't work. The gig is pretty good how they have a rotation between the quarters. Roll with it...

What do you think of the announcement that the Minnesota Wild have selected Let's Go Crazy as their new goal song? There was a lot of chatter here suggesting that the Gophers use a Prince song between the 3rd and 4th quarter. Time to move on. Maybe we can get the ChiemelewskI band to start the...

The first game is approaching quickly. A win is all that is required. After that, here is my wish list. 1. Mitch has a good game with 1 or.less.turnovers. 2. No dropsies. I want a sign that a receiver can emerge. 3. The offensive line is what they preach. 4. Someone emerges as a pass...

Sweet Feet is moving to a tough conference. Eagan has flashed a couple times, but mostly been mediocre.

After seeing the games this year my vote goes to Jabril Peppers. I don't think Michigan wins without him. No one else jogs my memory for second place so I'm going with Eric Murray.

With all of the chatter about possible upcoming transfers, I was curious if the travel roster would reveal anything unusual. I couldn't find one. Is there an official travel roster? What is the limit of players able to travel? I saw on one video where Noah Kuehn was in the player crowd...

I'm hopeful that Coach Kill is transitioning well to his new lifestyle. It's been a drama filled year, but our favorite team has a shot at some momentum. A win yesterday for our Gophers was what the doctor ordered. A brutal controversial loss for the Badgers makes it a bit sweeter. Our...

Since Kill has retired, that left the Gophers with one less coach than what is allowed. I don't recall seeing that any grad assistant has been moved to an interim paid coaching position. Is a spot just being vacated for this year?

Taking the pooch for a walk tonight, and I may have been one of 163 people listening to Mike Max. He was talking about Gopher athletics, Tracy Claeys, and the groundbreaking ceremony that went on today. Max went on to say that the new facilities will never match the top end Big 10 programs...

Traffic is going to be interesting come Thursday. State Fair park and ride is not an option. The train isn't so appealing when you're waiting in line and it's almost midnight. My plan is to get to close to the stadium pretty early and shell out primo dollars for parking. That is unless a wise...

Yeah, there seems to be a pattern. http://www.startribune.com/star-tribune-s-rayno-adds-her-own-story-to-teague-scandal/321199871/

I really like the Buckeyes this year. Before the season starts, it's hard to find a weakness. The Gophers play at Columbus on November 7. Which quarterback would you prefer to see in the backfield? I think they're all great. Braxton Miller is proven and was a favorite for the Heisman before...

So I see the NFL is mixing it up by adding yards for a single point touchdown conversion. I heard the projected success rate is now 91% That compares to 99% using the previous method from the 2 yard line. Should the NCAA follow suit? I would think think the 91% rate would not be attainable...
