Yes, he's done a great job. Will he be able to sustain it? Doubtful at this level. Bear Bryant won at about a .780 clip for his career. I see that Cignetti is now at .795 or something like that. A few more great seasons at Indiana and he's in the conversation. It won;t be easy.

Lanning is 48-7 (.873) at Oregon. So I don;t think so. Not sure the the win makes Cignetti one of the greatest coaches ever either. They are both very accomplished coaches.

Ok, this is somewhat OT and certainly TMI. Just landed in Maui. Sat next to a couple of young guys who are brothers, from Frankfort, IL. They both knew of MSM and the older one had played with Geers. Said that he is a great guy. It’s nerdy, but I am always making Gopher connections.

Absolutely. Give me a Jerry Rice in his heyday and I'll be a good WR coach.

Saw that too.

Yup. If it goes 21-0, they are obviously in deep trouble.

Are you watching the game?

Indiana

Now that they make decent money they can have cars that go 110 mph. I'm guessing that even in the old days players could afford pot.

I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that Indiana is favored vs. Alabama. I know that they deserve to be, but at some day Indiana is going to wake up and remember that they are Indiana and lose 49-0. Times have changed....

Maybe. I don't see it as much of a problem. There may be less swearing on the sidelines and during practice though. My wife is a BYU alum. She informs me that she knew Kyle's brother, Fred at "the Y." We'll see if its a reach. I must confess, Whittingham doesn't look right in maize and blue, yet.

Yes, the Lobo fans were cool. However I think that our band members outnumbered theirs about 2.5-1. I saw a cool interaction of the two bands. Before half time the Gopher band split into two groups, 1/2 at each end of the field. While waiting, the UNM band came out of the east stands (I think...

OK, I'll start believing it, as much as I don't want to.

We won, but I still can;t believe that we could not run on those guys.

Let’s not waste any more TOs

"...the sheer volume of nonsense spewed on this board..." You've got the kidding! ;)

Thanks for the reminder. We all know that these Rate level bowl games matter. That Texas Tech game got Mason fired.

Would obviously prefer seeing them play Notre Dame...

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.

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