    Rate Bowl AZ Weather

    Yes, they had parachutists deliver the flag in the pouring rain. I was sitting in the temporary seats behind the Gopher bench and was directly below where the roof sections meet. It was not a water tight seal and big rain drops were hitting seats all around me for the entire night.

    Michigan State is working to hire Cardinals DL coach Winston DeLattiboudere to the same role.

    I remember that Gutekunst used to wryly say that he became a good coach when Bruce Smith was a part of his DL.

    Who has the best walking/standing sports shoe?

    #2Gopher: I try not to give advice. But I have a problem with running shoes. I think that I'm at about 60 pair at the moment, some are pretty old. So I have tried a lot of running shoes. Currently Asics, New Balance, Salamon, Technica, Merrill, Montrail, Oboz, Adidas and other brands are in my...

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    Can't remember if it was a Gopher game or not, but I recall Bill Walsh calling some teams passing attack "primitive." That term does describe some Gopher squads ability to pass. I'm thinking the Gutey years, but it was more than that. Go Gophers!

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    Absolutely. I was "old for my grade" so I recently turned 68. I'm hearing that our 50th reunion site is booked and ready for some really cool Boomers to rock the place.

    Troy Aikman is ‘done’ funding NIL: ‘Didn’t even get a thank you’

    This is how I feel too. In the past 8 or 10 years I have reconnected with my undergraduate school (Luther College). Every time that I send them any gift they respond immediately with a thoughtful "thank you" note. The last time I donated they sent me a specific message that I am very close to...

    Blog..."Reshaping Teen Behavior"

    Thanks for sharing this! It reminds me of an Albert Einstein quote. It went something like, "We spend all this time reading books and learning from them, but at some point its time to write your own book." I just bought your book on Amazon. In case anyone cares, I'm planning to retire next...

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    The wife unexpectedly bought me a same day turn around flight to PHX so I'll get to see the game. Trying to recall how many times I have been to this bowl game. Off the top of my head I recall seeing Iowa St, Kansas, Texas Tech (ugh...) WVU and perhaps a couple more. I came close to a coronary...

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    Texan, I'm trying to determine if I met you and your wife at the bowl in Houston several years back. I'm probably off base, but did your wife go to a small Baptist college in Plainview, TX?

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    Have lived in Vegas for 25 years. I think that it is slightly cooler than Phoenix, during both summer and winter. That being said, its still too hot in the summer here and too cold in the winter. Went to the Rate Bowl a couple of years ago. It was rainy and miserable for that West Virginia...

    Thoughts on 2026?

    Yep, I was a student at the U of South Carolina (1984-87 and 1990-94), who became an SEC member during my last year there. When I attended my first game in 1984 (vs, Kansas St IIRC) i was surprised by the elaborate tailgate set ups. The other thing was how the frat boys and sorority girls...

    QB Jackson Kollock will enter the portal.

    Others have done it (Sammy Baugh I think). It can' be seen, but he might have his thumb on the laces.

    QB Jackson Kollock will enter the portal.

    While transferring is a risk, "waiting for your turn," is a bigger one IMHO. Best of luck to him.

    National Signing Day

    Watched the press conference. My track record on this is not good, but I predict big contributions will be made by Aaden Aytch and Howie Johnson. That being said, sll of the guys were impressive. Go Gophers!
