    I'm sick and tired of losing to Purdue!

    I think the phrase first got traction when it was boomed out by Peter Finch in a film called "Network".

    What grade would you give Gophers coaches in loss at OSU?

    Maybe OSU made an adjustment. We are not great at that even when the talent gap is manageable.

    Post Game Thread: Buckeyes Comeback on Gophers Keeps Undefeated Season Alive

    Yup. Purdue put up 27 on Illinois today and 30 on Notre Dame. They don't defend but are capable of beating us.

    Predict the Score Thread: Rutgers at Minnesota

    If Rutgers can put up 28 on Iowa I think they can beat us, 27-24. So Hope I am wrong because of the gravity of the game.

    It looks like Brosmer is coming in for the Vikings!

    Though Bronko Nagurski was not a quarterback, he did throw 77 NFL passes, completing 32 for 474 yards and 7 touchdowns. At the time there was some grumbling that it somehow "wasn't fair" that someone who was not the quarterback would throw the occasional pass.

    Last series with Cal.

    I was at the 2006 Cal game. On our first possession, the Gophers got inside the Cal 5-yard line when Matt Spaeth got loose on a cross field pass from Cupito and ran about 40 yards. In the Gopher section, a cry of "You can't stop us" got started after Daniels bulled into the end zone on third...

    Berkeley or Bust: who’s going?

    Driving up from San Diego then renting bikes to go over The Bridge and through Sausalito to Tiburon. After the game, hiking and camping at Big Sur. We love San Francisco and have heard much about the expansion of the homeless population. Guess we will see for ourselves if the Union Square/Market...

    Max Shikenjanski appreciation thread

    I never heard one of the announcers mention his dad. I was sure they would not miss that link or did i just not hear them?

    Gophers Open -2.5 vs Cal Bears

    I was happy to see Oregon State get thumped again by a non-powerhouse. The way Cal handled the Beavers made me think that Cal might be really good. I also felt better when Cal was not great in Game #2.

    Can Drake throw the ball 40 yards in the air?

    Well, one of the announcers doing the Buffalo game stated that Minnesota's lack of resources will not drive him to the portal. I was dismayed that personal finances had to be part of the broadcast. Boundaries, please.

    Mike Reid, fullback, kicker and hero for the Gophers in the ’60s, has died at 83

    There is a back-story to Reid's big day vs. the Badgers. The previous game, at Purdue, had a bitter, Gopheresque ending. Down 13-11 late in the game, Aaron Brown got loose with a Bob Sadek pass and was seemingly headed for a winning touchdown. However, he pulled up lame and was caught from...

    Week One: Offensive Line

    I was impressed by our last possession. The line finally imposed its will on a tired and perhaps discouraged run defense. I would have hated to see a punt followed by a "consolation touchdown".

    Post Game Thread: Gophers 1-0 After 23-10 Win Over Buffalo

    I admire your confidence! I come from a long line of dark-side Scandinavians with 65+ years of Gopher let-downs to fortify their influence.

    Your confidence is admirable. Let's hope these Gophers you more reasons to feel that way.

    What grade sound you give Drake Lindsey for his first career start?

    Very surprised and pleased that PJ did not baby him and restrict him to 20-25 passes. Against teams from lesser conferences, he usually leans heavily on the run game and we read lots of complaints about "RUTM". His confidence in the kid was encouraging.
