    Jack Wilson's nickname should be:

    Probably true. The song "Big Bad John" was released in September 1961. By November it was number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Jimmy Dean won the 1962 Grammy award for the Best Country and Western recording with the song.

    ***OFFICIAL UTSA AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I like your list but and would add this: Be ready and able to deal with any full court or half court pressure defense that UTSA may apply. When Bethune ratched up their defence it had us struggling a bit in the second half.

    All Things Gophers Vs UTSA

    Getting back to something related to the upcoming game, I hope Payne does better than what he showed in game 1. I was hoping for a big jump in his offensive game from his freshman year, something like Oturu’s sophomore season.

    Even with poor non-conference slate, 21 wins should get the Gophers a ticket to the Madness

    Fumbling the kickoff and spotting your opponent 7 is no way to set the tone for the game.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Have Massive Meltdown Again, Fall to 0-10 to Bielema, Fail Again With BTW In Grasp

    Taking the knee at the end of the first half bugged the H out of me. You need points. Why not take a shot or two downfield. Maybe you get a field goal. Play to win!

    Season Poll (Pre-exhibition game version)

    Decided to lean towards my optimistic side and go with 8-10 BT wins along with 9 non-conference wins. I am really looking forward to Payne and JOJ having great sophomore seasons. We know what Garcia can do. A healthy Carrington will add to the mix. The depth of the roster is the best in quite...

    Season Poll (Pre-exhibition game version)

    Without having seen this group practice or play together this would just be a WAG on my part. I would rather see the poll close on Friday November 3rd than at 8:39pm on Nov 2nd. That way those of us who attend the exhibition game could make a more informed WAG.

    Way to screw up an opportunity to take the lead. Play calling amazes me. Too bad, we could have used 7.
