    Friday Night Lights

    Agreed, but let's get those tailgate lots open a couple of hours earlier.

    Attend Postgame Conference

    How did it turn out? Did the field storm gum things up?

    Nothing Paul Chryst does or says is interesting. He is almost 60 years old and not a serious candidate to be the AD at wisconsin. You suggested him as Leonhard's OC. I highly doubt that happens, but I could conceive of a scenario where maybe Leonhard wants an OC who knows the "Badger way" and...

    Franklin Fired

    This is the first time in recorded history that "Chryst" and "super interesting" have ever appeared in the same paragraph. I don't think that he's got the skill set for that job in today's world.

    Tunnel Team?

    Been a few years since I last did it, so I can't recall whether you can have a beer. There is a fair amount of waiting. First, you will probably wait until at least 6:30 at concourse level in case anyone is running late. Next you wind your way down the ramps toward field level and wait until...

    That could well be correct, although the pressure to do something with Fickell is going to be pretty high if they don't win at least a couple of more games.

    Top 25 Upset Weather vs Nebraska

    Let's just agree to go with Schnauzer's weather app, what do you say?
  8. 2nd Degree Gopher

    Franklin Fired

    The word in wisconsin circles is that there is significant bad blood between Leonhard and Chris McIntosh, the AD who passed him over to hire Fickell. It is thought to be highly unlikely that Leonhard would consider the job as long as Mac is the AD. Possible work arounds would be either firing...

    Wisky Fans calling it like they see it.....

    Reminds me of an experience with a guy I work with. He's actually a Minnesota grad, but attended school during the Stoll/Salem years and never really developed any fandom. Over the years that I have known him, I invited him to a few games when I had an extra ticket. He always declined citing...

    Minnesota Native, Red Hot Chili Peppers Drummer Chad Smith to Play at Homecoming; Smith will join Minnesota Marching Band at halftime performance

    I admit that I was pretty skeptical about how they would pull this off, but I thought it was terrific.

    Gopher uniforms vs Purdue

    In addition to it being homecoming, they are honoring the 1960 National Championship team this weekend. Not sure how many of them are still able to attend, but they expect Bobby Bell to be there. I am sure that played a part in adopting this particular uniform. A Gopher fan should never...

    Purdue Barry Odom Press Conference ahead of Minnesota

    Thanks for the link. Didn't know about the close relationship between Odom and the Lindsey family.

    Just wait two weeks and re-post.

    2025 Minnesota High School Football Thread

    He didn't play in the first four games due to injury. I don't know if he's come back in the last week or two.

    I'm sick and tired of losing to Purdue!

    Huntington Bank Field

    If your point is that they are on the same footing as the rest of the world if you just ignore all of the parties' conduct and experiences with each other over the years of their relationship, I guess I'd ask why in the world you would ignore that? Neither side seems to have been all that happy...

    Huntington Bank Field

    I have no idea if there are any at this point since the current deal still has 5+ years to run. (And if I did know, I wouldn't post it on a message board.) I just know that, at this point, no one I have spoken to thinks Huntington has any interest in extending the relationship. Maybe they are...

    Huntington Bank Field

    I don't think that you can compare an NFL stadium deal to the University of Minnesota, but I would like to think that they could do better much better than what they are getting from Huntington and your IU example is a good one. I am not sure, however, that everyone at the U is convinced of that.

    Huntington Bank Field

    Of course not, that wasn't really the issue. I can't say too much, but the parties agreed to extend the option date by a year to give Huntington more time to deal with issues related to being new in the market and the ongoing pandemic. The TCF people who had been working with the U were gone...
