    ESPN: Grand Valley State suspends OC Morris Berger for wanting meal with Adolf Hitler

    You laid out a faulty premise. In the past, sure, people would discuss the strengths and weaknesses of Hitler's leadership abilities, if they were talking about the history of the Third Reich. It would be much more difficult to find people praising Hitler's out of the blue, let alone listing...

    ESPN: Grand Valley State suspends OC Morris Berger for wanting meal with Adolf Hitler

    In the past, the headline in the local paper would have read "Football coach praises Hitler's leadership." Immediately followed by angry WWII veterans showing up at the Dean's office.

    ESPN: Grand Valley State suspends OC Morris Berger for wanting meal with Adolf Hitler

    There are uncountably many other examples of leadership that he could have come up with. If someone thinks leadership and Hitler is what comes to mind, there's something seriously wrong with that person.

    ESPN: Grand Valley State suspends OC Morris Berger for wanting meal with Adolf Hitler

    This isn't a "modern way of handling things." Do you really think there was a time when praising Hitler was considered acceptable?

    Wrong call at end of game costs St. Olaf win; officials, MIAC apologize (video)

    I suppose Augsburg could say, "No, we didn't win. Credit St. Olaf with the win." The NCAA probably wouldn't recognize it, sure.

    Mack Brown is Against Friday Night Football Now That He Doesn't Work the Games For ESPN

    I'm also having trouble seeing the problem. We don't generally expect people to denounce their employers.

    Minnesota ranked #10 in final AP Poll

    "PJ FLECK STADIUM" has the same number of characters as "TCF BANK STADIUM", so it would be really easy to change the signs... just saying...

    Vintage Gopher stuff

    I have a piece of the bleachers from Memorial Stadium. I can't prove it is genuine, but I'm satisfied it is.

    There's going to be a lot of positive talk this off season.

    The Mall of America Bowl

    It really depends on how much cash the bowl committee puts up. Bottom-tier payout, you'll get bottom-tier teams.

    SI: Unexcused Absence: Why Is College Football Attendance Tanking?

    TV is a factor, and the game is getting more expensive, getting out of reach for a lot of people.

    The Mall of America Bowl

    I think a bowl game at US Bank Stadium would be a lot more appealing than a bowl game in Detroit. There's the Mall of America, and light rail connecting the mall and the stadium. Plus there's a lot of things to. The Minneapolis Institute of Art and they could bring back the Holidazzle Parade for...

    Gophers were officially co-champions of the West

    But the Gophers weren't second, let alone clearly second. Where the Gophers second in 1967?

    Stadium Expansion

    The stadium was built so that expansion was an option, but I don't believe there was ever any timeline. It just could be expanded if demand grew sufficiently to merit it, but demand would have to increase by a lot. Modest demand increase could be met with temporary seating. If we added 10,000...

    Would a win against Auburn be bigger than the Penn St. win?

    It's hard to say. Penn State was the game that made the nation take the Gophers seriously. The victory over Auburn sets a tone for the whole off season. The Gophers will start the season in the Top 25. The perception went from being pretty good to damned good.

    QB competition next year???

    Competition is always good. Every player on the roster should have a fair chance to win a starting job. If someone is able to beat out Morgan for the starting job, it means that they've stepped up to be even better than Morgan.
