Good point. No, I don't want the U to lose the BiG's funding. And I don't expect conference championships in FB. I agree the money is more important than winning.

I don't think this wacky soccer-style kicking is going to catch on. Give me a solid toe=kicker like Fred Cox, George Blanda, Tom Dempsey, or Lou Groza every time. Humbug.

Interesting. Explain. I'm curious.

The all-whites look sharp. The less gold the better.

Yes, our uniforms in the USC game were the most attractive I remember. The less gold, the better.

I got several civil comments about my suggestion that we drop the AK interest. I appreciate the explanations and am gratified by their tones. I wish there was more civil discourse here on GH and less sniping. There's enough of that in politics. Cheers to all.

Roger. Thanks for reply.

thanks for the courteous explanation. Too little of that here. I understand the interest in a former Gopher. Cheers.

How do i find the archives that showed how eager GHolers were to have him under center at UM? Let's move on to other topics.

We have to assume that the players are warned about this rule and the focus on it. Our kid violated the rule he knew was being watched and hurt his team. A loss of self discipline. He needs to be punished and I'm guessing he will be.

I like the proposal. I like the grouping by strength and geography. It makes sense -- so it has no chance of adoption.

If he's here.

OK. Now, it's time to analyze why recruiting top talent to UM is so difficult and what, if anything, can be done to attract enough talent to compete for conference championships like the U did before the 60s.

Granted, we've played Iowa (second best in rushing defense) and Michigan (third best in rushing defense). We need to get the run game going. One could argue that they are two of the best rush defense teams because they played the Gophers.

What coach (who would take the job) do you think could meet the goal of making the Gophers a competitor for conference champion?

No, not done. I've been following the Gophers since the 50s. But I saw and understood the dramatic change in the prospects for the program after 1961, So I follow them with realistic expectations.

OK. Then we're satisfied to be chronically in the lower half of the conference? To lose the majority of our games to our rivals? To pay coach after coach with no improvement in outcomes? To spend loads of money on facilities with no better results? Or does someone have a feasible plan to...

Could the Gophers could be in different conferences in different sports?

I completely agree with you. Soon after the Vikings came to MN, media and fan attention shifted from the Gophers to them. I suspect as you suggest that the U decided to limit their support for UM football. By the late 60s the Vikings were in the SB and the Gophers were an afterthought to non...

I expect three more wins. 5-7 just like I did at the start of the season.
