The first game is approaching quickly. A win is all that is required. After that, here is my wish list. 1. Mitch has a good game with 1 or.less.turnovers. 2. No dropsies. I want a sign that a receiver can emerge. 3. The offensive line is what they preach. 4. Someone emerges as a pass...

Sweet Feet is moving to a tough conference. Eagan has flashed a couple times, but mostly been mediocre.

After seeing the games this year my vote goes to Jabril Peppers. I don't think Michigan wins without him. No one else jogs my memory for second place so I'm going with Eric Murray.

With all of the chatter about possible upcoming transfers, I was curious if the travel roster would reveal anything unusual. I couldn't find one. Is there an official travel roster? What is the limit of players able to travel? I saw on one video where Noah Kuehn was in the player crowd...

I'm hopeful that Coach Kill is transitioning well to his new lifestyle. It's been a drama filled year, but our favorite team has a shot at some momentum. A win yesterday for our Gophers was what the doctor ordered. A brutal controversial loss for the Badgers makes it a bit sweeter. Our...

Since Kill has retired, that left the Gophers with one less coach than what is allowed. I don't recall seeing that any grad assistant has been moved to an interim paid coaching position. Is a spot just being vacated for this year?

Taking the pooch for a walk tonight, and I may have been one of 163 people listening to Mike Max. He was talking about Gopher athletics, Tracy Claeys, and the groundbreaking ceremony that went on today. Max went on to say that the new facilities will never match the top end Big 10 programs...

Traffic is going to be interesting come Thursday. State Fair park and ride is not an option. The train isn't so appealing when you're waiting in line and it's almost midnight. My plan is to get to close to the stadium pretty early and shell out primo dollars for parking. That is unless a wise...

Yeah, there seems to be a pattern. http://www.startribune.com/star-tribune-s-rayno-adds-her-own-story-to-teague-scandal/321199871/

I really like the Buckeyes this year. Before the season starts, it's hard to find a weakness. The Gophers play at Columbus on November 7. Which quarterback would you prefer to see in the backfield? I think they're all great. Braxton Miller is proven and was a favorite for the Heisman before...

So I see the NFL is mixing it up by adding yards for a single point touchdown conversion. I heard the projected success rate is now 91% That compares to 99% using the previous method from the 2 yard line. Should the NCAA follow suit? I would think think the 91% rate would not be attainable...

A colleague has season tickets for Badger football. He mentioned that he got a letter saying his tickets are going up this year from $45 to $48. If this is true, didn't Norwood tell us that all other Big 10 teams would be falling in line with major price hikes? Evidently, not this year.

It appears a decision from Harbaugh isn't that far away. I'm hoping that Harbaugh returns to Michigan. I like a villain, and Jim H. really has good potential. After Bert left for the SEC, we really have slim pickings. Andersen was starting to get in my craw, but he left. Ferentz is stale...

In years past, we've stumbled across a couple of position changes that happened during bowl season. Can we expect any this year? Our Gophers are pretty thin at quarterback, but after observing Steveler, I wish he could see the field more often. He was tough as nails at quarterback this year...

If it was the Buckeyes visiting Becky this weekend, what would you suspect the Vegas line be? We'll never know, but I'd guess OSU would be giving 5. About right?

It's that time! If you're able to find it, please post one of my all time favorite pictures. You know the one, the gopher fan with Detlef's stein. Is Detlef's great Grandma Endora still alive and cursing the Gophers? It appears that Tabitha's spell gave Stave a case of the yips. Dang kids...

The home schedule is over. Here's my humble opinion of the top five players that I saw. 1) J.T. Barrett. Even with a couple mistakes that could have proven costly, he is my runaway winner. 2) J. Bosa. This dude is scary. I keyed on him for a couple of series. Relentless, powerful, and...

According to Nate Sandell post. Smart.

With all of the talk about heated benches, it got me thinking about what is more beneficial for athletes. Being that it will likely be in the lower 20's, what does a body good? Is it better to remain cold and stay away from artificial heat? Or would the athletes be better off warming up...

I know you can't rely on a steady dose of youngsters if you're trying to win Big 10 games. Saturday, I've got a good feeling about two. First, Connor Mayes is said to be getting more action. He's had a few weeks to prepare for this, and I think that will help him mentally. Physically, he's...
