No problem, then call it what it is: "Who has the best gameday atmosphere" or "who has the best traditions" - none of that stuff has anything to do with the design, or brick and mortar of the physical stadium however. And that is my beef. I'm just saying to properly rank stadiums, you should...

There seems to be a wildly differing set of criteria for anyone naming what are the best stadiums. The only thing these criteria seem to have in common is they are almost never named when someone sets out to rank best stadiums. Are we talking about the way they look? How well set up they are to...

yes, although that is an interesting discussion, I think it is fairly obvious the Indiana football program has surpassed the MN football program during Fleck's tenure and that was my original point. Just like the MN football program has surpassed Nebraska's in that same time frame despite the...

I think of it a bit differently. The Gophers could go to 30 middling bowls in a row but if Rutgers would go to 3 playoffs and an Orange bowl, I'd say they passed the Gophers at that point.

Illinois has been ranked for most of the past two seasons and had a "real" bowl game last year and won it with lots of eyeballs watching it. Indiana "outside of these past two seasons" - I'm more impressed WITH these past two seasons - they've been pretty good. They are currently ranked #2 and...

It is times like Saturday that I hate being that "Gopher guy" within all my circles of friends. Work Friends, neighborhood friends, lifelong friends, etc. etc. I was getting texts from pretty much everyone I know on Saturday during the game and nearly all of them were asking things like "what is...

How the Gophers could lose to Cal will occupy my brain for far too long.

Watching Cal stumble around with Va Tech makes my stomach turn. Why oh why do we have to have at least one game that defies reason, for a loss, every year?

I don’t know. It doesn’t seem so intimidating to me. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM9v5onw/

I think some are confusing "greatest play" for "greatest game" or "greatest achievement". In terms of the achievements mentioned, so many either ring a bell for me or would be incredible to see. Probably some efforts bigger than this but in terms of ones that I have seen in person, the Eric...

First time I have questioned KOC. It made zero sense to keep trotting Wentz out there. I actually have my concerns JJ will be any better. It's too early to say he is Christian Ponder, part deaux, but so far he has been been Christian Ponder, but with injuries.

After almost two weeks straight of reading and listening to Nebraska fans whine and complain about "surrender whites" uniforms, this is actually okay with me. I try not to waste time with superstitions (to allow me more time to whine about reffing).

Exactly! With the "real" power conferences growing, and with the college football playoff growing right along with them, you can just see it playing out right before your eyes. Instead of needing to win a conference and go undefeated or close to it, there is more parity forming and now what used...

It would be 10 Minnesota wins in a row if any/all actual or perspective ref calls favored MN. What a strange thing to say. It was the correct call. Those pesky rules have stood in the way of a lot of teams winning games.

If Pair and a Spare and Gopher Gridiron are not focused enough on Gopher football for you, I really think you'll have a hard time finding something that does more of that. From my perspective, Gopher Football is pretty much all they talk about on Gopher Gridiron and Pair and a Spare.

Can't remember the name of the lot that I reserved a spot in to tailgate (absolutely COULD reserve a spot in a tailgate lot), but it was really fun. I wish I recalled the name of the lot. I'd pass it along if I could.

Gardner is okay. Good balance between info and not-over-the-top excitement. Tim Brando did that one game where he was just "off" nearly all game last year when the Gophers played Illinois. I can tell he scans the rosters and depth charts to plan things like "DT for the TD" in the days leading up...

Well, I've been to something like 7 Gopher road games and I have NEVER seen a win so it could be worse.

I was hoping/thinking this very same thing. Past experience suggests the Gophers may go on a run of good performances now.
