Went through the XFL rosters and did not find a single Gopher, which I found a bit surprising.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert of pairwise. Part of the challenge is not just how MN plays in their next 3 or (hopefully) 4 games, but how Quinnipiac (and other schools) play as well. The linked chart summarizes some 20,000 simulations for the remainder of the season. It...

Hard to believe that Dick Bremer was the TV play-by-play Gopher basketball guy for a time (including that year). I think he did some football and hockey as well. That was back in the good old days of the Midwest Sports Channel

Not sure if this fits the inquiry, but I somehow got a video copy of the "History of Minnesota Football." The 40 minutes of footage looks at many games through the years, cherry-picking various contests starting in the 1930's. Narrated by Halsey Hall, the last game covered was the Minnesota...

One concern going forward in the B1G championship - and I know Motzko harps on this all the time. A bye the first tourney weekend means another 2 week break from the final regular season game against OSU on Feb 24. Their first B1G tourney game will be against the lowest remaining seed at...

Pardon my ignorance - but what does an "immediate" commitment mean?

Our last win was not that long ago relatively speaking. Won in Columbus in Jan 2020 and did not return for two years (a Jan 2022 loss). However, prior to 2020, the Gophers last BB win at OSU was in Jan 2005.

Hoping it’s an ankle

Heard this argument ever since Rutgers joined. And I can certainly see the logic - I would be curious to know how much additional BTN (thus B1G) revenue we are talking about. And yes, there are a lot of B1G alumni in NYC who welcome BTN. But as other people have said, there is very little...

GopherIllustrated (247Sports) just reneged on yesterday's prediction of a Gopher-Miss State matchup in the Outback. They are now on the Pinstripe (Syracuse) bandwagon "based on information received by GopherIllustrated" - "all signs are pointing to the Gophers being headed to New York"

Do not know if it is a change, but Gopher Illustrated (or 247.com) sent out an updated Bowl Projection a little over an hour ago (takes into account the USC debacle) and they now have Gophers vs. Miss State in Outback (ReliaQuest). My biggest fear is that if TCU loses (down 8 with 6 minutes to...

OSU has lost four straight matches - at MD, then home against IN, MN, and WI. Not the type of momentum one would like to see heading into the tournament

Aggie Vision - happened 9 years ago and still getting the LOLs. Wonder if any of their announcers realize the legacy provided

She was co-chair of the Kendall Qualls campaign for Governor. Qualls withdrew from the Republican primary race when Jensen got the official GOP endorsement. She claims she is a “pro-choice conservative with libertarian leanings.” Good luck on winning a GOP primary with those beliefs

I realize that it is all about TV - but not knowing the start times 7 days in advance does affect stadium attendance.

Usually PJ has a better quote than "those were huge kicks."

Out of curiosity, I searched the StarTrib archives and found that once we lost to Purdue, the coverage stopped traveling. (No longer "worthy" or "relevant" I guess.) StarTrib beat writer Randy Johnson was in East Lansing, but did the report from afar for Illinois and Nebraska. An AP feed...

Saw that the StarTrib did not even send a reporter to the game. (It is disappointing). Did they send anyone to MSU or PSU?

Let's hope that Duluth, MN native Verne Lundquist can continue to make the call on the Master's par 3 16th for just as long. (Verne fully retired about 5 years ago except for the Master's and PGA championship - always enjoyed his calls in all sports)
