    Amusing, maybe or maybe not

    I don't remember our tackler's name as he had just tackled their QB . After the tackle he lay in pain with the time stopped, Our female "medic" came out to help him. You could see her ask him where it hurt, and then she broke into a laugh. Quite obvious where it hurt!

    How would you answer this question

    Knowing what you know today - Would it be easier to: Win on the road at Purdue? or Win against Nebraska at home? I tend to go with the latter.

    Am I correct on this

    Our present Juniors and seniors are from Kills first two years recruiting classes. Brewster was a pretty good recruiter (I think last years seniors (which were very good)) were his, and were probably the reason we did pretty well. Kill did about as good those first two years as he could but...

    Thoughts after Saturdays games -

    1. Pre Season thoughts by many that Minnesota and Nebraska would be playing for West Title. N ow - Minnesota and Nebraska fighting to not be in the cellar. 2. Iowa's quick turn around 3. Barry might fire his coach again and take over the job himself 4. Northwester may beat Michigan...

    Whether on purpose or by accident

    The offense didn't show the future teams anything to get ready for. I for one think there was a little "on purpose". The play calling (except for the touchdown) showed nothing that everyone already knew. We could have "opened it up" at the end to get another score but didn't. (this is when the...

    An personal intersting side light at game

    My wife and I were with a charter group and because my wife needed a "golf cart" help back to the charter bus, we had to leave the game at the start of the last Gopher drive in the 4th Qtr. We didn't know from then on in what was happening. There were 5 of us in the bus about a 1/2 mile away...

    What would you do if Coach

    First of all let me say that I believe that Leidner will be our Qb this year and next but that doesn't mean that he will be in there 100% of the time. It is obvious to me that true freshman (#11) CROFT is being groomed for that position. Right now he probably is a better passer than Leidner...

    For those without TVO -

    If you are wanting to view the TV game but are at the stadium, ESPN is rerunning the game at 2AM.

    BTN question ---

    I noticed this entire Saturday afternoon on BTN is "Ohio State" programming and this is about the same every day. I take that back, from Midnight to 6 AM Ohio State takes a breather. If any other B10 team other than possibly Michigan, reach Ohio State status would they get the same coverage...

    I'm confused on the seating and unsold tickets.

    Some where in the following statements I am wrong, where? TCF Bank Stadium capacity: 50,805 Seats added by Vikings: approx 4500 Seats available for TCU game: 50805 + 4500 = 55305 Tickets available for TCU game: 55305 Approx tickets not sold to date for TCU: 3000 Math: 55305 - 3000...

    I predict a large walk up crowd at the ticket windows for TCU

    whether we sell out is another question however. In general TV availability has cut in to the less than die hard ticket sales. I have a 60" HD TV and it is hard not to like watching it at home or at a bar (or in bad weather) with friends. As far as Gopher football games of course I have 4...

    Don't miss Scoggins Column in Strib: Life's a beach for bonding Gophers recruits

    A great story about recruit Coughlin's get together with the other recruits at his Dad's Lake Cabin. Bonding like this should go a long way.

    How is this for my day dreaming -

    TCU and the Gophers meet again at the end of the season, and I'm not thinking about a normal Bowl game. Odds, not close but possible.

    A new Twist on attendance and season tickets

    The ratio of: Season ticket sales to Alum who graduated during the "Dome years" to total Ticket sales. We may be surprised at how low this ratio is. We didn't develope enough alum football fans during those years. However I think the tide is changing now that we are back on campus. Maybe...

    Bye weeks

    I see Ohio State has a bye week before our gme in Columbus. The question is: Is this advantage to OSU or not? Most say, including myself, that it is but others say it isn't, for various reasons. I hope I'm wrong, but I would say that playing in Columbus before a hostile crowd is advantage...

    Proceedural Question?

    When I open the Forum, I have to wait a number of seconds (seems like forever) before I can scroll down and select messages. After I read a message and before I can select another topic the same wait is necessary. Is this normal? I know the forum needs advertisers to display their pop-ups, so...

    While waitingfor the season to start _

    So how is recruiting going? Rivals rate the teams in total points that they have committed. This has some bearing. but because the number of committments vary, I took a look at the average points per committment. This may tell a little more about the quality of the committed player. West...
