After almost two weeks straight of reading and listening to Nebraska fans whine and complain about "surrender whites" uniforms, this is actually okay with me. I try not to waste time with superstitions (to allow me more time to whine about reffing).

Exactly! With the "real" power conferences growing, and with the college football playoff growing right along with them, you can just see it playing out right before your eyes. Instead of needing to win a conference and go undefeated or close to it, there is more parity forming and now what used...

It would be 10 Minnesota wins in a row if any/all actual or perspective ref calls favored MN. What a strange thing to say. It was the correct call. Those pesky rules have stood in the way of a lot of teams winning games.

If Pair and a Spare and Gopher Gridiron are not focused enough on Gopher football for you, I really think you'll have a hard time finding something that does more of that. From my perspective, Gopher Football is pretty much all they talk about on Gopher Gridiron and Pair and a Spare.

Can't remember the name of the lot that I reserved a spot in to tailgate (absolutely COULD reserve a spot in a tailgate lot), but it was really fun. I wish I recalled the name of the lot. I'd pass it along if I could.

Gardner is okay. Good balance between info and not-over-the-top excitement. Tim Brando did that one game where he was just "off" nearly all game last year when the Gophers played Illinois. I can tell he scans the rosters and depth charts to plan things like "DT for the TD" in the days leading up...

Well, I've been to something like 7 Gopher road games and I have NEVER seen a win so it could be worse.

I was hoping/thinking this very same thing. Past experience suggests the Gophers may go on a run of good performances now.

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...
