Exactly. The latest on line argument for the SEC faithful is the B1G teams suck because they don’t have as many ranked wins. Ironic, considering that is the whole point of the B1G argument, that everyone in the SEC gets ranked preseason and then pretty much only have ranked losses. An SEC team...

I take such delight in beating Nebraska. 99% of the time I can be counted on to stay classy. But during the fourth quarter last night as the downtrodden red-clad groups of people started to head for the exits, this particular woman locked eyes with me as she was side stepping through the row in...

Funny you should say that. I took my cousin to the game last night. He is more of a casual fan, lives outstate, and this was his first ever game at the bank. As it was becoming more and more obvious this was going to be yet another win over Nebraska, we talked about 1983 and what would we say...

Most people my age still call the Minnesota Zoo the "New Zoo" It opened in 1978

I'm trying to talk my sister-in-law to doing that, or getting the cheapest season tickets (They start around $300 in spots where there are no required donations, right?) On one hand I think they are worth it when you consider my Sister-in-law is dropping more total $$ to see fewer games right...

I was surprised to see that same thing when I looked earlier this morning. Lots of tickets available directly from the U. Nosebleed corners at $100 will tend to leave some unsold ticket reality.

Claeys was not an interim when he was fired.

yes, after a beatdown at Purdue

I like that “explosion on the launch pad” analogy. I might have to file that one away for future use.

The chili cooled, considerably.

I think you are SEVERELY overlooking what Cignetti has accomplished at Indiana. Just blanket dismissing B1G wins, especially when there have been a LOT of them is missing a lot of the point, in my opinion. Indiana gets ripped for "not competing" in the playoff. They were a victim of playing in...

I said preseason that that Gophers would be 8-4 or maybe even better if Lindsey was any good. I also said the Gophers could be in danger of 6-6 if Lindsey turned out to be a Kaliakmanis. I'm now thinking 6-6 with Lindsey being good and showing a lot of promise. I assumed the running game...

before the season, many people had Wisconsin at 7-5 or (gasp) 6-6. I just didn't see it. I saw the lifeless team that played the Gophers Thanksgiving weekend and figured they'd win maybe one conference game (I thought maybe Maryland) and finish 3-9. Little did I know they ended up being worse...

Apparently Burrito Loco is now Burrito Fuera del negocio

That play was 2007 in a nutshell. Gawd, I hope we never go back to that level.

Two comebacks at Nebraska. One was the fumble/tug discussed above. The other was more recent with the Tanner Morgan injury, leaving the game. Then there was a comeback.

I have been meaning to bring up OT at the bank lately and failed to do so. This thread is quite timely. It is quite remarkable to have our new stadium since 2009, yet it has never hosted an OT game. Yet. That is a lot of football games to not have any of them end regulation in a tie. The only...

My weather app has steadily been making it look more dry as the week has progressed. Basically zero percent chance of precipitation after 3 pm on Friday, with a very small chance of rain prior to 3. Weather app on phone and watch have increasingly been making it look like a spectacular tailgate...

My hope always runs high. My official prediction for this game with Nebraska is a 14-34 loss. Based on what I have seen from both teams, this is what I would predict the score to be 10 times out of 10. But we have seen Fleck circle the wagons and pluck a win from the jaws of defeat on a few...
