Being at the game, and being all uptight about the possibility of losing (which seemed very real right up until they missed their final FG attempt), I was failing to appreciate the day Lindsey was having until I started to comprehend the main scoreboard rushing/passing/totals yard graphic. I...

Another random OSU memory. This one from a home game in the ill-fated 2007 1-11 Gopher season. We had out of town guests to that game in the metrodome. To put us all out of or misery, we left early. We were driving down 7th on our way to 394 when we had to wait after a light turned green as to...

Well said. "Rah" is a must. Just a little tidbit that combined with other little tidbits, makes up the uniqueness of each college football school.

Anyone going to this week's game? I have great memories from the one and only time I have watched the Gophers in Columbus. Soooooo many kind words from Buckeye fans and one dude in particular flagged me down in an elevator to talk about old Gopher Greats from eras-gone-by. Super nice people. If...

For a team at the Gopher's talent level, beating Ohio State is certainly unlikely, but not impossible. My anger level increases when coaches (or even fans) act like it is impossible. I realize that fans don't have a direct impact on the game but I have already seen one suggestion that the...

Late 80's, when MIAC used to play a round of games there to end the season. I recall the turf being very spongy but also very easy to cause rug burns. In terms of new turf at the bank, I like the current field layout and the current end zones. I do like some of the ideas I have seen here - to...

When I saw shotgun on a fourth and inches, I was like “this doesn’t end well”. If I know that from row 19, why is it a mystery for Gopher coaching?

There were a couple moments in the big 2019 win vs Penn State that equaled the Triplett interception in volume, in my opinion. The Howden interception in the end zone as well as the Bateman TD catch on the first drive reached that level. I get a little misty-eyed just typing these words.

I think it will be a LOT more important for Wisconsin to win their bye weeks because, well, you know, that might be the only ones left on their schedule. As for this Fleck comment, it is the kind of stuff that makes me roll my eyes as it relates to the much of the worthless stuff that he says...

One of the best ways you can ensure playing really well against a Minnesota team is to have once played for the Minnesota team you are now playing. The sport or level doesn't seem to matter. I'm worried about the Gophers ability to stop the Greek Rifle but last year I never would have thought...

My preseason prognostication was 8-4 but I was secretly hoping for a 2019 style season where things go right for a 9-10 win season. All that assumed a relatively easy win at Cal. Now more of those 50/50 games or even 60/40 games look like losses to me. You should never overreact to a single...

The funny thing is I did not specify ANY teams as examples of programs the Gophers have passed, or been passed by. Perhaps Indiana has passed the Gophers (I’d say basically anyone commenting nationally would say that) and in that respect it is part of the reason I asked about it. I’m only...

As I was watching Indiana’s boot crush ever deeper into Illinois’ throat last night, I started to think about starting a post about B1G teams that the Gophers have passed up since Fleck’s arrival, compared to B1G teams that have passed up the Gophers since Fleck’s arrival. In 2019 I felt...

This is the most interesting take on Beilema’s weight loss I have seen.

Completely embarrassing evening for Illinois.

The Illinois defense has been getting the ball to their offense really quickly. Isn’t that the defensive goal? Of course that is because of quick Indiana offensive touchdowns but oh well.

Indiana! Blocked punt TD. So many times big games like this come down to a single possession and when it is all over you can look back on a special teams play that was the difference.

I just noticed Wisconsin still has their “Case IH red zone” (they just mentioned it on the Wisconsin radio broadcast because the BADgers actually got there in garbage time). I guess it was still worth it to Case IH to sponsor Wisconsin’s 2-10 season.
