roadkill consumption is typically reserved for where/when it is most relevant: Wisconsin game week. I think all the roadkill expertise in the midwest is concentrated in Wisconsin. Ironic as this is the one subject where "expertise" and "Wisconsin" go together.

Alert the media! There has been a lot of public comments back and forth praising each other so it makes me wonder if Ferentz has come to the realization that the Snake Oil Salesman thing is incorrect. I wonder if the "take the pig and leave the timeouts" behavior would happen again, given all...

Pair and a Spare is a fun podcast. I like all three guys. It is a nice balance between objectiveness with a dash of homerism. I have not had the commute time this season to give it its due diligence though. Did listen to the current episode. Good stuff.

I caught a 4/5 class 4A game on YouTube tonight. Westonka vs Providence Academy. This has been a down, rebuilding year at Westonka. Westonka had a 20-6 halftime lead, completely blew the lead and was trailing 20-27 late fourth quarter. Ended up in a 4th and 25 (or more) on their own 40 yard...

very few had the Gophers winning at home last week, I expect it to be about the same for the Gophers on the road at Iowa. It may just be me being a homer but it seems as though the Gophers consistently get underrated.

I am not a fan of Friday night games. I do get it that if there is going to be one, MEA week is by far the best. I just would rather NOT have one at all, or have it limited to once every few years.

since we are coming up on that time where we all remember the invalid fair catch signal, I have posted about it on three or so different gopherhole discussions. I might as well comment on it here too, in duplicate. By my estimation, about 70% or more of Iowa fans (and 25% of MN fans) to this...

I like the guy. I watched his recent youtube about why he loves Nebraska. It was really touching. But, over the past couple years I have become a bit board with his content and don't watch much of it anymore, including most of his recent content related to playing the Gophers. I have skimmed...

If this goes like it goes most any year, the Gophers will get a bowl that is objectively worse than what two or more other B1G teams that have the same or worse record and/or a loss to the Gophers on their resume. And when the bowl assignments come out with the Gophers pushed down to a game...

I figured Fitz would always be a concern so I was pretty relieved when he... well... when he was relieved. But somehow Northwestern keeps lurking around. I thought they were dead, only to watch them do the big comeback and provide PJ with arguably his worst B1G loss. Northwestern promptly fell...

Lots of excitement over the satisfying win over ranked Nebraska on Friday. But one milestone reached with that win that may have escaped many people: The win marked the win balance with Nebraska since the infamous 13-84 drubbing heard 'round the world in 1983. Counting that loss and Friday's...

Is there anyone left in Minnesota or on this board that do not understand the difference between a fair catch signal and an invalid fair catch signal? If so, let me know. I'd be happy to take a few moments with you to familiarize yourself with the rulebook and help you to become completely...

Nebraska felt like a really tough game leading up to Friday's matchup with the Gophers. Huskers were 5-1 and pretty close to 6-0 at the time. But now after yet another Nebby beatdown, some things start to come into focus: 1. Eked out a win over Cincinnati - not exactly a world beater. 2. Akron...

So much of Iowa topography is EXACTLY like where I grew up in south central MN. Outside of college sports, it just feels like the same place. In that respect, it is really hard to get angry with "my" people. The same struggles. The same focus on farming. The same focus on farming the exact same...

It just felt different in the stadium Friday night. Nearly from the opening kickoff, you could just feel it. It now ranks among a handful of games where the atmosphere in the stadium reached a special level. That place gets electric and when it does, I wouldn't trade it for anywhere else...

It's Monday and I'm still not ready to turn the page to Iowa. Just too much fun soaking in the Nebraska fan melt downs far and wide. And, semi related... if this game had a signature moment I will always remember, it HAD to be the Matt Kingsbury sack. That should be an iconic play for that...

The Fleck voo doo hex over Nebraska definitely has their fan's attention. Although they still generally feel their team is on the brink of a national championship every season, they are very much aware of Fleck's mastery over their Huskers. Some of them will go as far as admit "Fleck owns us"...

It's weird the way these things go in cycles. The Gophers used to have an unhealthy obstruction to beating Wisconsin, but even when really really bad (2010, 2011) they could beat Iowa. Now it is such a struggle to beat Iowa while the team is on the verge of a nice winning streak vs Wisconsin...

The Pinstripe Bowl and/or Syracuse as a bowl opponent is NEVER completely off the table.

When the PA guy says “and that’s another Golden Gopher…” now that is a fan participation moment worth complaining about. 🙄
