Was surrounded by many Husker fans at the stadium, of course they mostly sat on their hands. However, after the field goal a Nebraska guy behind me goes "Harriet, that does it, we're driving back tonight!" and promptly left the stadium.

Brewster still generates a lot of bad taste in certain Gopher supporters - wore a Brewster Gophers T-shirt to a poker game of my tailgate buddies last year - was almost thrown out of the house...... Only let me play if I promised to burn it

"P.J. Fleck is BEST Minnesota Gophers coach in 75 years!" Assuming they are only talking about football - that's a pretty low bar. Overall, I would say Herb Brooks would get my vote

While he has infuriated many on this website over the years (and at times I believe he purposely eggs Gopher fans on - just to see the reaction), some of his more "human interest" sports stories about various legacy players and teams are why I still enjoy his writing.

Good point - their non-conference "P4 game" was against Oklahoma State (who is, by far, the worst team in P4). The Nov games against Iowa in Iowa City and home against USC may give a better indication of where they are at

Many people left early from our section (207) because they were not dressed appropriately. Everyone was in short-sleeve T-shirts during the tailgating and did not think the temps (along with the wind) would require jackets/sweatshirts in the stadium.

Now that Franklin is gone, it is almost hard to believe that, of current head coaches, Fleck is the second longest tenured in the B1G (longest? - Ferentz of course)

Ugh - now I will have that ear worm "in my mind" for the rest of the day. :(

For the record, the Gophers: 1977 - Defeated #1 Michigan at home 16-0 1961 - Defeated #1 Michigan State at home 13-0 1960 - Defeated #1 Iowa at home 27-10

I have posted this before regarding games in "The Shoe" - but wanted to say "you were warned" Regarding an OSU trip? FWIW - here is my report from the 2023 game: If you have never been to Ohio Stadium, it might be worth one visit for the “experience.” I have gone to several games over the...

Would agree with everything you said. And while he is somewhat mobile (the scramble/rollout throw to Tracy for 27 yards was my favorite completion today), he is not a runner at all - in fact I think he actually has run avoidance. It would be nice to at least be able to freeze some linebackers...

However - NFL QB success for a Gopher is a pretty low bar to surpass

Lynx HC Cheryl Reeve's post game rant about the officiating got her suspended for game 4 tomorrow

An 8th year senior - I'd try to somehow hang on for 2 more years: "A Decade of NCAA D1 Football"

Agree 100%. Occasionally we might hear an injury update of value ("so-and-so will not be returning"), but that's about it. Always amused at the "Coach, you are down 27-0. What are you going to tell your players at halftime?" Response - "we gotta play smarter."

A $20 million fine has gotta hurt at least a bit - even for Michigan. Will certainly give opposing fans some vocal ammunition - especially when on the road to schools like OSU or PSU. Not sure if the 25% reduction in official visits for 2025-26 really means much at all.

Going back about 20 years prior to that - I think Sid (who died in 2020) may have been the last person alive who personally witnessed Bruce Smith's spectacular 80-yard-run vs Michigan in 1940.

This list is kind of nuts to say the least. MN is more valuable than UCLA? Florida? Anything in Texas (including Houston)?

How much was the question worth?

The Minnesota 0-6 loss to Northwestern in 1936 was the Gopher's first loss in four years (there were some ties in 1933). The Gophs were still National Champs because of a NW non-conference loss to Notre Dame in their final game of the year. Thought that the Gophers 7-0 win over Michigan in 1941...
