It is good to see increasing interest in what phase the moon will be in for our night games this season. This is easier to appreciate as the fall season approaches and the Gophers do indeed continue to play games at night...where the moon is rising...just up there...or setting... looking from...

Just don't call us Minnie...:p Have Huskers on Mrs. Billd's side of the family. Been to Lincoln several times with them (really liked the trip in 2014!) and hosted the family Reds up here too. Lots of good suggestions. Safe travels in a week.

Looks like it will be nice. The moon will rise around Do the Gopher and will be waning gibbous.

Violent was the term I believe for this year. Might need another descriptor.

The multiple decades of neglect at the top to nurture revenue sports did long-lasting damage to the potential fan base for the Gophers. Couple this with the arrival of the Vikings, and then the greater professional sports teams all eating into the disposable income pie, combined to probably...

Yep, after that one congratulated a Purdue fan on the win on the way out of the concourses. His comment was he thought both teams were trying to lose but that Purdue didn't try hard enough in the end.

Said it last evening...talent gonna talent. We think it's different now but it's always been the case. Winners and losers get counted for individual games, but at the program level it's really who's the top, who's the middle, and who's the bottom in each conference at any given time. What us...

Utilizing The Portal effectively to identify and bring in good players is something that Coach Fleck and staff have done pretty well. However, this does require really a "plug in and play" mentality that has to have some degree of challenge no matter how good the player or system. The risk vs...

I sure didn't know what the tOSU defense was going to do for most plays. Pretty sure it was pretty much guesses for Drake too.

While managing to get the lawn cut here quick before some rain comes through, I realized that I generally am disappointed after our infrequent encounters with the Buckeyes except for that October game 25 years ago. It really is wash, rinse, and repeat for this particular opponent. I also...

Yep unfortunately.

Noted last week that paying my Comcast bill is a part in supporting CFB on the TV revenue side. Glad to help. Did see an article that there are about 60 million cable subscribers that have not cut the cord yet...and of course the vast majority of households are in the 50 years+ age for the...

We are who we are at this point...a middle-of-the-pack developmental program that fortunately resides in the B1G+ Conference, a conference that apparently is going to survive the changes that money continues to bring. That we look around and see other similar-level (or lower) B1G+ programs do...

It was for their fans in the stands. Night games are a big deal for them. They weren't having as much fun as needed to that point. All was well after that. Doesn't make that a smart call in any way. But for example coaches go for it on 4th down at times really due to the fans in spite of...

Yes, as are about 16 other B1G programs too... Not an excuse. Just a fact.

I am beginning to wonder about the DC... He's earned the spot the old fashioned way up through the system...literally... I need more data but trend line is suspect. Which of course could be upended over the next several games.

2019 turned out pretty good even with us stalling out at the end of regular play...

Yep, will offer the DVD replay to Mrs. Billd but will not watch it myself again. Now the team should be on a continuous loop learning from this a la A Clockwork Orange style "education"... Well, maybe not. Simple film study will do...

Tend to agree but the other guys did adjust. We have however lived long enough to see us advance down the field against superior talent on the first possession (and it not be NW State). Let's see if we can do it next weekend...

No, not a son or daughter of myself and Mrs. Billd...that I know of anyway... Retract and delete orginal affirmation.
