Wild how Munn and Wilkinson both went to the U but didn't come back to coach. Obviously Warmath worked out with success, too. But still, have to wonder. It's quite the coaching alumni group when also including Bud Grant and Tony Dungy Anyway, today we're at 62 days! Bud Wilkinson, 1934...

For reference on how transitions to the FBS have gone historically, here are some examples, with teams that had success in the FCS/IAA. Obviously Boise State is the gold standard but that level of success is also rare. Louisiana Tech Reached FCS Title Game in 1984 Moved to FBS: 1989 Conference...

I agree mostly, especially with 1904. It's debatable, but that's just how the era was. I think the claim is legit, but having it be shared makes total sense. The 1960 season I disagree a bit. Head-to-head wins are always important to me, so I think beating Iowa automatically puts them ahead. I...

Edited the list to add a couple more! From 2005, @ No. 21 Michigan, and Vs. Iowa in 2006. Would be awesome if there were some more archived games from then and the 90s. Below is a list of dramatic/close victories or wins over rivals that would be nice to revisit. 1990 Vs. No. 13 Iowa, won...

I agree with the piece, especially the part about NFL talent. That type of consistency in the pro-pipeline is essential. Also the floor of the program certainly has been raised on a solid foundation. Beating Wisconsin has especially been something to enjoy after how frustrating 2004-2017 was. I...

72 Days out! Bronko Nagurski. 1927 Big Ten Champion, 1929 First Team All Big Ten, 1929 All American, College Football Hall of Famer. Also won 3 NFL championships, 4 time All-Pro selection, Pro Football Hall of Famer and 3 x World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion.

I think there's two things true here. First, Indiana's success is of course going to be the envy of every college football team that's been trying to turn a corner or get over the hump. I don't think Minnesota is alone in being one of those programs. But, secondly, I think Minnesota is a bit...

Monday brings us to 73 days out. Jason Meinke Joe Bjorklund Donnell Greene, 2022 All Big Ten Honorable Mention

Still a lot of summer left, so it's a good time to revist some classic Minnesota football games. Here's a list of games that are available to watch on YouTube if you want to revisit some Gopher victories. If anyone else has links to other full games, feel free to post. Unfortunately there...
