Pat Forde takes the Gophers. A dink free zone thus far! Dash pick: Minnesota 21, Wisconsin 20. The Badgers' defense that was so good for the first half of the season has been springing some leaks lately: after giving up 4.8 points and 174 yards per game in the first six games, those numbers...

Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports gets it started. Minnesota at Wisconsin. Line: Wisconsin by 10. The Paul Bunyan Ax has resided in Madison since 2004, and the last eight meetings haven’t really been close. But the Gophers are playing for bowl eligibility and looking for their first big win under...

I will pinch hit! Get well Doc. From StatFox 9:00 PM MIDDLE TENN ST AT BYU -24 9:00 PM UTAH ST at SAN JOSE ST +9.5 Stan The Caddy (7-8-0): San Jose State +9.5 Thursday, L. Georgia Tech got whipped.

2:30 on BTN http://www.bigten.org/blog/2012/11/times-and-tv-partially-set-for-nov-17-games.html

I hate to start another discussion about our QB situation moving forward, but I was watching the Texas A&M @ Louisiana Tech game on Saturday night and it gave me hope. I know, I am a rube. But in all seriousness, watching Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel play, it made me wonder if Philip Nelson...

After watching the game last night, a couple of interesting things stuck out in terms of who played and who did not play. 1. Foreman was in uniform last night, not a surprise at all considering Gray was not. I figured this would be the situation. 2. Jon Christenson was rotating in with Tommy...

Intersting look at attendance AROUND THE COUNTRY for opening weekend from Pat Forde @ Yahoo Sports. This is from Forde's weekly "Forde Yard Dash" column, which for me is a must read along with Stewart Mandel's Monday morning review and Wednesday weekly mailbag. Forde looks at attendance being...

OK- Now that we have learned the U is pushing to have the home openers the next 4 years on Thursday night, I would like to know how the die hards here at GH feel about it. I, for one, LOVE it. Since it is a home game, we know it will be broadcast on BTN. I like being one of a handful of...

I think the scrimmage today deserves its own thread. Mods, feel free to move if you wish. I was there until about 11:15, so probably the 1st half of the scrimmage. Here are a couple of quick observations. 1. Beal looked great. No knee brace and made a couple of good plays. 2. There are a...

After watching the clip from NCAA '13 of Iowa vs. Minnesota I wondered who in the world #85 was for Minnesota that returned the kick for a TD, so it got me to check the latest roster on gophersports.com. I am a rube who is into this type of thing, what can I say? I was surprised to see the...

Jerry Kill was hired one year ago today, December 5, 2010, as the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. :clap::clap::clap: Just thought it should be noted. Here is to a bowl birth in 2012!

Simple thread. If you had a Heisman Vote, list your top 5 in order. I have been an RGIII guy all year long and think he is clearly the best COLLEGE football player this year. Look at what he as done for Baylor. I am not into career achievement awards and do not like that Andrew Luck has...

Check out the box score from the game today. Again, this was the State Championship Game. Unreal. The running back for Fremont-Mills had a game earlier in the year where he rushed for 500 yards. http://www.iahsaa.org/football/2011%20Playoffs/8CHAMP.HTM...

This whole scandal is beyong mind-boggling and it is certain more sordid details are going to come out. The impact on the community and entire University is going to be huge. Now that it appears that Penn State is going to clean house moving forward, I wonder what is going to happen to them...

FYI, Just announced by the Big Ten 11am CST on BTN 11/19/2011

According to a release from Gophersports.com. Sounds like some good exposure for the program. http://www.gophersports.com/blog/2011/10/coach-kill-to-be-featured-on-espn-college-gameday.html

From Stewart Mandel. I generally like Stewart, but these grades a bit mind-boggling to me. How can a two guys with zero head coaching experience be graded as the only "A" hires and a proven winner like Kill receives a "B"...

Watching the Jets / Patriots game this weekend I saw that Bart Scott attended Southern Illinois. I did a little research and he was there for one year under Jerry Kill. See the take below from Scott's wiki page regarding Coach Kill. The more I learn about Jerry Kill, the more it seems he is...

It is really frustrating to watch the National Championship Game when neither team can keep their footing on this field. Whoever is in charge should be embarrassed, players have been slipping all night, since the opening kickoff. It appears to have limited both offenses. I do not think this...

I was watching the pregame last night and they did a segment from Glendale and discussed the Auburn vs. Oregon matchup, specificlly the "quick strike" ability of each offense. Oregon and Auburn ranked #1 and #2 in the country in offensive touchdown drives that took 3 plays or less. They had...
