Agree, Vegas on New Year's Eve would be tremendous and I think we'd have a lot of Gopher fans there. Everything says it should be Minnesota over Nebraska (better conference record, head to head win, healthy starting QB), but the bowls ultimately pick and Vegas will likely choose Nebraska...

Coming out of COVID also helped, as I think students were more than ready to do stuff outside their dorms and apartments. That's when I noticed the extra pick up. Saturday's student section was as good as its ever been, given the weather and Thanksgiving break. It was full and energetic. It...

He is a coach's kid. Quarterback had a clear angle. Exactly right. Dude had one of the best single game stat lines in recent FBS history, quite literally. He will 100% be Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week.

This is the likely scenario, in my opinion.

Indiana and Purdue played a non-conference basketball game in the old Hoosier Dome the year they were only scheduled for one Big Ten game. I think it was early 2000s.

Ah, got ya. That said, I don't get the joke.

Doesn't this picture show his left shoot clearly inbounds, though? The Maroon is IN bounds. His foot in on the Maroon in this picture.

Unless he goes 4-7 next season and gets fired. Then what? Leaving for a better job makes sense logically, plus starts a new career clock for him at an age it might make sense, too. Bigger issue is, I don't think he's going to be a high level candidate after this season. Not sure he'll have...

Because they are striking out on higher level candidates and Fisch is a Florida grad and has the recommendation of Steve Spurrier. Not saying it would be a good hire, just answering the question as to why Florida might hire him.

Yeah, because if I shake my fist and say dammit, I'm not going to accept mediocrity, it will overnight just change and we'll be Georgia. I literally said in the post, there are things to complain about and I understand why people are frustrated. I just don't believe the Year Nine argument is...

Sure, if you count 2019 as the baseline. If you use the baseline as the best season (record-wise) in modern history, it will definitely be a gradual ebb from there, no question. Usually, you would judge ebbs and flows from a more basic baseline. At Minnesota, I'd count 8- and 9-win seasons as...

This is true. But, it is also true, they were a QB sneak replay review away from losing to USC and the main reason they won was because PJ chose to go for the sneak. USC had to go for a TD on the final drive and couldn't do it. Gophers were trailing UCLA late and MN had some brilliant...

On one hand, I get the frustration here, I think last year's team left some meat on the bone for sure. Not too far from a 9-win season, even 10-win if all fell right. Rutgers loss was a top five bad loss in PJ era and the UNC loss was bad not because the kicker missed it, but because the...

Those five names have been there since the stadium opened.

There is a ring of honor on the stadium facade, or at least the names of some of the all-time greats. It only has a few names on it (Kiel, Stephens, Smith, Nagurski, Bell). If your complaint is there should be more, I agree with you. If your complaint is they don't have any names on the ring...

I don't think there's a huge gulf between the two, but there's a wide enough gulf to not be outraged at the injustice of it all or to really worry too much about it at all. Record vs ranked teams last nine years: Justin Wilcox 5-21 (.192%) (26 total games vs. ranked teams) PJ Fleck 7-15...

There are a lot of Gopher fans in southwest Minnesota and is Sioux Falls who don't get a chance to see the Gophers in person that often. That was a lot of the crowd the time I went. Thought I'd mention there's a chance to get real close for those fans. Wasn't meant as a big criticism of...

The team leads the Big Ten in sacks and 2nd in TFLs. Defensive line can't be that soft. A couple of those guys have a big motor. Excited about that group up front on defense.

I attended one of the games in Sioux Falls a few years ago and there wasn't an empty seat in the place. Full of Gopher fans. Great night, great venue, great win. It is part of why I think its a good game to play (a neutral game that is really a home game.) But, I looked at Ticketmaster and...

Exactly.
