kind of a low bar.....

It only takes about 3.5 hours to get through (north to south).

I'd bring it up until he admits that the winning touchdowns in 2015 and 2016 were both blatant holds (it was the same play both years), otherwise Gophers win both of those games.

Not a hex. He just believes he can beat Nebraska, and they believe it too.

Yup. How do we have a team ready to go consistently? Isn't that the job of the head coach? We've been ready at the kick-off for exactly one game so far this year against a D-1 team. And it was awesome.

helped multiple times by undisciplined play by the Nebraska defense. It's his perfect recipe for winning without risking anything.

This post didn't age well. You mean the Purdue team that Northwestern shut out yesterday? The same Purdue team we gave up 256 yards rushing to that Northwestern held to 87? The same Purdue team that held us to 30 yards of rushing that Northwestern gained 232 yards on? Yeah. Real monsters of...

Addition by substraction.

he does, but he's a poor communicator at best. Ask Lindsey Whalen.

Nice win. Did not see that coming. Reconciling last week to this week? Not even going to try.

Best ever Minnesota sports writer? Not exactly a peak of greatness (at least from my familiarity starting in 1987). I always saw him as a poor man's Scott Ostler. Ostler was a bit cranky, but he was direct, honest, fair, and not afraid to ruffle feathers when it was warranted. I grew up...

Recognized? No. And Fleck doesn't need to worry about being recognized, he makes sure he's recognized as often as he can with every June press release about the outstanding top 25 recruiting class than ends up in the upper 30 to mid 40s on signing day. Or the Boast of his 11 win season being...

The program has come so far...... This is the same argument for not firing Mason. It was time to fire Mason. It is not time to fire Fleck - Mason had reached his ceiling here and it wasn't changing. Fleck has consistently dribbled chances down his leg, so there is still potential upside. But...

The spending cuts hinted at in the spending problem is what's behind all of the non-revenue sports running political ads to save the olympic sports at the collegiate level. I think it's fair to assume the football and basketball players who have forced the issue to get a cut of the money...

I was there in 2003 as well.

The Rose, Orange, Sugar, Cotton, and Fiesta bowls still matter. Some of the lesser bowls that have long history - Citrus, Gator, Peach, Sun, and Holiday are all decent and well run. I remain curious to see how many of the others last in this new era.

more depressing than playing a VaTech team that was basically a Frosh/Soph squad that had no business being in a bowl? Hopefully with the portal shift to January, we'll avoid some of this, but I doubt it. The Bowls aren't what they used to be.

we're not going back to this......

I went to the Music City Bowl when we beat #25 Arkansas in 2002. A good time if you get the chance. Nashivlle isn't the same city today (alot bigger) but still a good time. I wouldn't book the trip just yet. Not sure we'll avoid Detroit this year.

NEW as in we swapped out the original ingredients for cheaper substitutes, AND IMPROVED our bottom line.
