Is there anyone left in Minnesota or on this board that do not understand the difference between a fair catch signal and an invalid fair catch signal? If so, let me know. I'd be happy to take a few moments with you to familiarize yourself with the rulebook and help you to become completely...

Nebraska felt like a really tough game leading up to Friday's matchup with the Gophers. Huskers were 5-1 and pretty close to 6-0 at the time. But now after yet another Nebby beatdown, some things start to come into focus: 1. Eked out a win over Cincinnati - not exactly a world beater. 2. Akron...

So much of Iowa topography is EXACTLY like where I grew up in south central MN. Outside of college sports, it just feels like the same place. In that respect, it is really hard to get angry with "my" people. The same struggles. The same focus on farming. The same focus on farming the exact same...

It just felt different in the stadium Friday night. Nearly from the opening kickoff, you could just feel it. It now ranks among a handful of games where the atmosphere in the stadium reached a special level. That place gets electric and when it does, I wouldn't trade it for anywhere else...

It's Monday and I'm still not ready to turn the page to Iowa. Just too much fun soaking in the Nebraska fan melt downs far and wide. And, semi related... if this game had a signature moment I will always remember, it HAD to be the Matt Kingsbury sack. That should be an iconic play for that...

The Fleck voo doo hex over Nebraska definitely has their fan's attention. Although they still generally feel their team is on the brink of a national championship every season, they are very much aware of Fleck's mastery over their Huskers. Some of them will go as far as admit "Fleck owns us"...

It's weird the way these things go in cycles. The Gophers used to have an unhealthy obstruction to beating Wisconsin, but even when really really bad (2010, 2011) they could beat Iowa. Now it is such a struggle to beat Iowa while the team is on the verge of a nice winning streak vs Wisconsin...

The Pinstripe Bowl and/or Syracuse as a bowl opponent is NEVER completely off the table.

When the PA guy says “and that’s another Golden Gopher…” now that is a fan participation moment worth complaining about. 🙄

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.
