It is 3 hours, 55 minutes from Minneapolis to Lutsen - as sort of an interesting comparison. With Duluth somewhat in the middle.

This is the only reason I opened this thread. I simply need an “ol’ Jer’ is a ball coach” injection every few months to keep my corpuscles jumpin’

Imagine the last description of you highlighting the fact you were completely ignorant of something you had so much passion about.

excellent suggestion. I hadn't thought about that option.

We'll be staying at my Brother's house outside of Tacoma. Looking forward to the trip to the pacific northwest but at this point I am not sure if it is going to be a flight and a four day weekend, or a leisurely drive including some national parks and a week off to accomplish it.

Other than hoping he doesn't get hurt, which I wish for every football player on every team - He is dead to me now and I am already annoyed at every thread that will start up here every time he intercepts a pass, gets mentioned in an article, etc. Just seeing this thread and then making it...

We may lose Fleck someday but if so it will be to a program that he see’s as a better opportunity to win, not one that has already been surpassed.

So fair enough. You are predicting the future. But, you have mentioned a couple times that it is a rabid fan base. What am I missing if they typically fall 3K or more short of selling out their 19K stadium now? By percentage, that seems pretty similar to Gopher football ticket sales in a 51K...

The math ain’t mathing to me if it is “a biggish school with a rabid fan base” but play in a 19,000 seat stadium that averages around 16k attendance through times of great success at their level. That doesn’t seem very big-12-like to me.

I didn't have this thread on my to-do list when I went to bed last night, but here we are.

not lost on me is seeing the various rankings listed next to "Minnesota" in the score graphics of these highlights. I would love to combine some of the strengths of the Mason teams with what came later under Kill and Fleck.

I hope I’m wrong. In this climate, saying we are going to suddenly recruit and develop without losing players in great numbers to the portal… well, it sort of feels like the beginning of the end.

The more I think of it, the logic is so bad with this Reusse take that any counter point should also be ridiculous, just to point out how wacky the football = hockey opinion is. For example, Gopher hockey needs to take a long hard look at itself and maybe consider a coaching change because it...

Where would Texas Tech finished if they had been in the B1G this past season? Illinois-ish?

leave the most prestigious college football conference to step down the the Big 12 to join the assembly of other purchased players in a dusty cow-town.

Minnesota produces more NHL hockey talent than any other state, and it isn't close. And the Gophers have the most entrenched hockey program right in the middle of all this talent. To compare hockey to ANY other sport at the U (especially football) is not only apples and oranges, it is apples and...

The feelings that the SEC is the center of the college football universe are deeply ingrained at places like Auburn.

Maybe my imagination but everything seemed off with him this year. When the going gets tough, transfer

I actually feel bad for Alabama with all their futility trying to keep up with B1G speed and athleticism

I would be interested to see how often Missouri was ranked before and after joining the SEC. Shame on USC for raining on the B1G bowl party.
