While thinking about the travel aspect for Iowa State & Minnesota, I think it makes even mores sense to schedule each other occasionally to mitigate the downstream impacts of Conference Expansion/Movement. In basically the last decade Minnesota needs to travel to such far flung places as...

At no point was the word "tradition" used with regards to playing Iowa State. Sporadic 1 or 2 games per decade should be self-explanatory that there was was not even a remote reference. NEVER replaced by OCCAISIONAL does not equate to "tradition".

Not disingenuous at all. A game at the Zygi Dome could also be a "special neutral site game". For folks in Ames, sure it would be less special than Dublin, but still unique nonetheless. Again the money would have to work, but there would certainly be less expenses that the Wilfs/Stadium...

Let's hope he never has to get used to losing.

Back to back wins for the first time since...well I can't remember. Feels like it's been a while. Twins are streaking! In addition to Lewis with 2 dingers, Keaschall went 3 for 6.

Well not EVERY team needs 7 Home games. In fact the Cyclones are only playing 6 at Jack Trice Stadium this season. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Iowa_State_Cyclones_football_team Also this year as a hypothetical, instead of traveling to Arkansas State, perhaps it would have been more...

For any Tap fans out there David, Nigel & Derek are on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. Marty DiBergi also in the house.

And another thing, Royce Lewis has Homered twice for the Twins tonight. Look out for 2026!

They didn't last year.

I think he caught up at warp speed.

Did he pass the audition?

I'm thinking the JJ comment was prior to the 4TH Quarter commencing.

Not a good comparison, IMO. NFL Fans in General as well as Vikings have to put up with that nonsense of paying for 1-2 Pre-Season games due to the limited ticket availability for the 8-9 the games that matter. For the Gophers there's plenty of ticket inventory. Every game. Additionally even...

If it was a neutral game then it would be a revenue split, from the gate, sponsors and promoters. Home & Home then it would be a cost benefit analysis for scheduling such a game instead of for example Arkansas State or South Dakota (the Cyclones other 2 opponents this year).

It's possible that any number of the teams you listed could end up with 2 Ls and ranked #12 - 16 in the CFP thus fall one decent win short of making it to the Big Dance. That would be regrettable, wasting a game on a FCS team. Indiana last year was close to being out.

Of course it's changed. The Big 12 has lost a ton of marquee programs. Perhaps the chance to schedule a 2nd Big 10 opponent is attractive to Iowa St ONCE or TWICE per decade. If the payola is right. Or maybe not. Worth pursuing.

If a player/RB is going to be on a limited snap count, then I don't think it's wise to play him at all this early in the season.

I think the Gophers could soak NDSU Bison Fans for more than $10 per ticket. Whatever Kills first year was, I sold my pair (chairbacks/lower bowl inside the 20) for $120 because I was out of town. Perhaps the novelty has worn off.

It allows all the potential Portal Transfers to get on some more game film and maintain a year of eligibility if they play 4 or less games.

Because it's an accepted practice in Pro sports (as well as College Hoops & Hockey) does not mean I have to like it. I choose to endure it. Currently. Scheduling such contests which have significantly less scholarships, NIL, revenue sharing, budget make them even more of a farce. Enjoyment is...
