    Reusse: Sept. 28, 1969 - This was the day the Vikings zipped past the Gophers and put them in the rearview mirror which those Gophers now share.

    Reusse has written versions of that article a dozen times, this one with Kapp as the hook. My earliest memories as a Viking fan go back to 1971, so I just missed Kapp and am worse for it.

    U names Ettinger interim president

    The Hormel Chili Bowl is a great name for a stadium in Minnesota, trailing only the Wheaties Bowl and DQ Blizzard ... something.

    Did the Gophers improve their backcourt this offseason?

    Is the backcourt improved? Yes. Is it enough to move the needle next year? Not sure.

    Two Transfer CBs Visiting This Weekend

    I always wonder about that, too, but the fact is the reason hardly matters anymore. I'm not sure many of the transfers even have reasons. And, if they have a reason that may raise eyebrows, I'm sure the coaches will figure it out.

    247Sports predicts every Big Ten football teams record in 2023 (MN: 8-4 overall, 6-3 in conference; "Gophers are primed to challenge for the Big Ten")

    I don't disagree, but eventually we're going to have to beat a team like Michigan during a season when it matters, like beating Penn State in 2019. If we're going to progress, we have to get to the point where playing OSU and Michigan doesn't automatically make our ceiling eight wins.

    P.J. Fleck will get $75,000 bonus, as team's newly published single-year NCAA APR score is at least 980 (it is 994).

    Alabama surely has relatives of Jan Ganglehoff on the payroll, but no enterprising young journalist in Tuscaloosa is willing to crack open the case.

    247Sports predicts every Big Ten football teams record in 2023 (MN: 8-4 overall, 6-3 in conference; "Gophers are primed to challenge for the Big Ten")

    This is from 2020 on the Big Ten website; it's as hard as I'm willing to work. The championship game participant and division champion from each division will be determined by the following: With all conference games completed, the best winning percentage in all conference games. In the event...

    247Sports predicts every Big Ten football teams record in 2023 (MN: 8-4 overall, 6-3 in conference; "Gophers are primed to challenge for the Big Ten")

    You're mistaken. Overall Big Ten record is what matters, and they have Wisconsin 7-2 and Minnesota 6-3. Division record comes into play if there's a tie.

    2024 College Football Playoff Schedule

    Where are you getting $3-5 million in extra ticket revenue? If you sell 15,000 extra tickets at $100 each, that's $1.5 million. Plus, any food and beverage sales would go to the Vikings, rather than the Gophers. An unanswered (and so far unasked?) question is who gets the ticket revenue -- the...

    Gophers Recruiting CB Avante Dickerson Again Now That He's In Portal

    I think we deserve a little more credit than that. Nine Gopher DBs drafted in a 10-year span, and next year is likely to make it 10 drafted in 11 years (or maybe 11 drafted if Walley leaves early).

    Caledonia native Eli King in portal from Iowa State

    It's weird how some people are focusing on this. What's Ben supposed to do? "Hey, Jack, yeah -- I always post this fun little gif of Denzel when we sign a recruit, but I don't think you're deserving of a tweet. That might take me 20 seconds and I've got sh!t to do. You understand."

    Big Ten Football: 3 most overrated head coaches ahead of 2023

    Yeah, I don't know where "one of the top coaches in the conference" came from. My guess is this guy is just sick of hearing about PJ. If you're a fan of an opposing team, I understand. As a fan of the Gophers, if that means Fleck is going to stay here a while longer, I'm good with it.

    Jeremiah Carter Named Sr. Associate AD for NIL/Policy and Risk Management

    Hiring a person specifically to lead NIL is a good step, but the fact that he's coming from compliance dampens my enthusiasm. They need a fundraiser. I know, I know -- the school can't raise its own money for this. But they can reach out to donors and "help" them understand the process and how...

    Bands/Artists From Minnesota!

    I read in the Strib a while back that he is, indeed, a mailman now.

    Miami Men’s Basketball players are receiving a total of $2.2 Million in NIL payments among all players in the program combined.

    I heard that, too, and also heard him say the same thing later with the Skor North guys, when he added that the source was Mike Grimm. He also said that time he's not sure it's true.
