You mean culture won’t rise to the occasion? I think the Gophs and the culture are ready to get it done this time. At some time, our coach, his staff and all the players have to say: “…enough is enough…” and just plain pick up the ball and run with it. Take matters into their own hands and...

The Minnesota Athletics Department has revenue shortfalls that are supported, in part by revenue provided by the state government coffers here. Our administrators don’t appear to be great fund raisers, and, unfortunately, we don’t know how to sell out events and get big donors interested in...

Look, if Nebraska fans could be convinced that Coach Fleck could restore them to respectability, some of them would try to do dna testing to prove Fleck is actually Dr. Tom’s long lost grandson. A few might start putting row boats in their cornfields. They would swear that culture was first...

My ranking of the Big Ten teams can ONLY be completed when the Big Ten 2021 schedule has been completed. I will look only at the BT wins and losses against other Big Ten Teams. At the present time all the data is not in and it would be an injustice to all Big Ten teams to do a ranking of BT...

MB2, Tepeh and Maroney, along with that smaller, quicker, zone blocking offensive line. And yes, they could throw the ball too. Defense was a problem in a big way. The Big Ten was loaded with great offenses then and many defenses were challenged to the max. Northwestern could score a lot of...

Of course I would not trade to go back to Mason’s pre on campus stadium days of having no on campus stadium and sharing the joint with the Twins, the Vikings and monster truck / tractor pull events which was humiliating, horrible and self defeating. But I loved watching some of Mason’s teams...

Negative, naysaying Northwestern Nation needing nicer news. Noting numbing negative narratives no new nicer news now for Northwestern. Gophers 19. NU 9.

I am impressed with your realism. You get the fact that for most BT teams, the expectation of winning the conference or the division every year is unrealistic. A fan can still be a fan as long as the team is competitive with most of the teams within the conference. Hence, for me the BT...

Well done IceBox! This is a great thread!

Well stated and I think, very true. Beat Northwestern Gopher footballers!

You are more than kind, Rescooter. It’s a great time to be a Gopher fan! Believe me, if you insulted me, I had it coming. On message boards, it’s easy to play with the words, the topics of the day and the sarcasm. You are quick witted and just like me, you do have opinions. That’s good...

Probably is true. Probably really doesn’t matter at all right now. Beat Northwestern, Gopher!

Hmmmmm. There you go, BleedGopher, reading in between the lines again. Just what do you mean by your remark: “…Go Concise Wren…” I don’t know whether to like it, feel offended by it, resent it OR to start getting ready to pack my keyboard and leave. I fear this site has given me a severe...

I was born in 1947. However, those days were celebrations for those who loved football…loved and appreciated Big Ten football…and appreciated just how special it was to be able to root for and love the fact that your home state was a part of Big Ten land. There was not a lot of hype. There...

“Run the ball and stop the run…”

However, he does have a huge line of 23 year olds this year. He has what he has in the here and now. He is living in and coaching in the present moment, IMHO.

It was an important Big Ten win. Game ball to the offensive line! Personally, I was pleased to have the running game pound the ball down Maryland’s throat to end the first half. I think that took a great deal out of their defense. Too bad about the field goal, but, I believe they broke...

Totally agree.

However, when fans pencil in wins before the games are played…sometimes those penciled in wins are erased and become losses. Then, those fans moan, wail, gnash teeth and want to fire coaches, assistant coaches and take out all their feelings of being entitled to those now erased wins that they...

“Minnie men” make matchup miserable for Maryland. Morgan manages Minnesota marches magnificently as Minneapolis media members mumble morosely.
