No one who watched this cover of "Dancing in the Streets" during Live Aid has ever forgotten it.

This is a cover of the Crystals "And Then He Kissed Me" by a group of music students in England. Their teacher gave them 3 hours to learn the song, assign the instruments and singing parts, and then record it. Many of the students weren't playing their primary instrument.

I love this Glenn Campbell and Roy Clark instrumental cover of""Ghost Riders in the Sky".

The Beach Boys covering the Rivingtons "Papa Oom Mow Mow" in 1964 is interesting and fun to hear Brian Wilson on lead vocals before it all fell apart for him.

I like Mark Coyle a lot but he screwed up by refusing to explain the U's decision on 60 minutes. It gave CBS the opportunity to make the case that the University of Minnesota is turning into just another college football factory like so many of the schools in the SEC, ACC, and Big 12...

I agree the "Goal" for the Gopher football team should be to get to Indy a couple of times every five years. Compteting for an NCAA football title will most likely never be in the Gopher's future. The do high school and college football differently down south. It's almost like they are...

The following Reusse column is just a small example of the brilliant writing he has been doing for the last 50 years. Of course, if you are a typical Minnesota sports fan who only cares about the four major sports you wouldn't even bother to read it, much less enjoy it. As for me, I have been...

Apparently, the entire chess world is watching "The Queen's Gambit". Former world chess champion Gary Kasparov was a consultant for the Netflix series. I don't even play chess and I'm into it. Magnus Carlsen: 'Chess has not been very kind to women over the years' On his Instagram feed...

If Tanner does what he did last year he will win the Heisman Trophy.

My favorite running back of all time. As a diehard Viking's fan in my youth I was scared shitless every time Sayers got his hands on the ball when we played the Bears. Every once in awile I like to watch his career highlights on Youtube. My Gayle Sayers autographed football card is still...

It bears repeating (over and over again). Very few people under the age of 60 who are in good health are afraid of getting Covid-19 themselves. What they're afraid of is getting the virus and unknowingly infecting family members or other people they know and they end up dying from it. There are...

UMN regents endorse plan to cut three men’s sports, reject resolution on football’s return The University of Minnesota Board of Regents on Friday signaled support for the permanent shutdown of three men’s sports programs as the U begins to chip away at an expected shortfall of up to $70...

You are correct. Michael Hsu has been finger pointing, name calling, blaming others, and promoting himself throughout his tenure as a regent.

Savoy's pizza sauce is better than excellent. It's the best. Anyone who doesn't like it doesn't know a good pizza from a bad one.

Trump gets almost nothing and makes up all the rest. If you doubt it just google people who used to work for him, including about a dozen or more four star generals and high ranking national security officials. A large number of them say he is a pathological liar; a danger to democracy in...

And people want schools to pay student athletes like they're employees til they run outta money.

Nine of the players sued the U for $45 million in federal court. Their case got thrown out by the judge before trial. Federal Judge Scraps University of Minnesota Football Players’ Sexual Assault Lawsuit A federal civil rights lawsuit filed by a group of former University of Minnesota...

Good post. You seem like the most informed poster in GopherHole about what happened between the Gopher players and their female victim. Are you certain the female didn't agree to sex with the underage high school football recruit? I thought it all started when she agreed to have sex with the...

No, we'll just replace'em with other college students who love to play football even though they will never get close to an NFL roster, and who are on full-ride scholarships to obtain a very expensive and valuable college degrees. Football is fun to watch at all levels with all kinds of...
