He is now 4th all-time in scoring at Minnesota, with 1,784 points, 16 points behind #3 Willie Burton. I was surprised to learn that his scoring average is slightly under last year's average. I guess there were fewer scoring options last year, especially after the season became a death march.

We know about his rise to the top in rebounds. Here is how he stands in other categories. FIELD GOALS He is 9th with 606. He is just behind Quincy Lewis (609), Tommy Davis (613), Trent Tucker (631), Sam Jacobson (638), Willie Burton (646), Randy Breuer (681), Kevin McHale (714), Voshon Lenard...

As a kid, I liked watching this game and the Blue-Gray game to watch Big 10 players against players from the west. For example, the 1965 game featured a scoring pass from Hankinson to Aaron Brown and Ken Last caught a touchdown pass in the 1966 game. At the gym today, the East-West Shrine Game...

That was the line this morning for tonight's game at Illinois, which I found surprising. The Wisconsin win and the dominating win vs. Rutgers don't seem to count for much against a team that is winless in the conference. I would think that the loss to a surging Maryland team wouldn't be that...

I am wondering about the wisdom of letting our hobbled starting quarterback play vs. OSU. Yes, he needs the experience to outgrow some freshman tendencies but I can see him aggravating the ankle or sustaining a new injury in his present immobile state. Playing Saturday against that defense in a...

Curious about how Nebraska's lost game due to bad weather will affect their performance this Saturday against what might be a pretty good Colorado team. Also, the Nebraska schedule now suggests the missing game will be played at some later date. Wonder how that will work.

Recently, a number of posters have bemoaned Minnesota's inability to recruit/develop this elusive player. I'm not even sure of how to define him. Before each game, I just ask myself this question. "Is our guy better than their guy?" Anyway, just who was our last "Quality Big 10 Quarterback"...

The National Weather service calls for an 80% chance of showers on Saturday night. At the Oregon State game, the 2nd quarter rain drove a number of Gopher fans to cover. By the time they came back after halftime, the rain had stopped and no one wanted to sit on a wet bench. Virtually everyone...

Here are the answers to the last set of questions. Thank you for reading and responding! Wilbur Moore Jim Malosky Bill Kauth Bubby Holmes Jay Sharpe Tony Hunter Ryan Thelwell Ernie Wheelwright How many of these Gophers can you name? October 9, 1954 #18 Minnesota 26 Northwestern 7 A senior back...

How many of the following Gophers can you name? October 1, 1938 Minnesota 16 Nebraska A 9-yard scoring run is recorded by a back from Austin who had the nickname "The Little Indian". He went on to help the Redskins win one NFL title and appear in 3 other championship games. At age 49 he was...

At present, Mason is #24 on the all-time scoring list and #7 in assists. With a senior season identical to his junior season, he would finish at #6 in scoring, #2 in assists, #5 in free throws made, #5 in made threes and #10 in field goals made. A nice career. Can someone supply his offer list...

I would love to see Philip Nelson succeed in the NFL. To date, Minnesota's leader in NFL touchdown passes is Bronko Nagurski with 7! Just for fun, here is a list of the 25 Big 10 quarterbacks with the most AFL/NFL touchdown passes. I'm not ready to include Maryland or Rutgers yet. 1) Drew Brees...

Bleed- Did you attend the Aztec game that you have pictured? The Gophers ganged up on Faulk but their pass defense was atrocious! I liked the 1994 rematch in the Dome much better.

I am surprised that he is not getting much love on this board. He was a VERY good player. He is currently tied with Wolitarsky for 8th place on the all-time receptions list with 130 and stands at #10 in receiving yards. In the 1993 Purdue game (a 59-56 Gopher win in regulation!) he caught a...

I have never been to other Big 10 basketball venues but many of you have. Is there one that is less intimidating than Penn State? When I watch the Gophers on television from their place, it's clear that the building is huge but there are lots of empty seats and the typical Big 10 atmosphere...

Recently, Reusse stated that "fatism" is a deeper prejudice in American society than ageism, sexism or racism, suggesting that it was an important factor in the fall of Coach Claeys, one that pre-dated "the scandal". This seems to be one of those "elephant in the room" topics. It is so volatile...

I had not seen him play before but I was aware of his numbers. They seemed to imply that he is more than just the quick-release, nickel and dimer we saw last night. The downfield coverage was outstanding, especially #5, who was locked up with their best guy for much of the game. His animated...

I saw a segment on the Big 10 Network today in which Jerry DiNardo was talking about recruiting rankings. The 2017 Gopher class is currently rated #13. The classes brought in by Kill had an average ranking of #11, bearing in mind that there were just 12 Big 10 teams during part of his tenure...

Thank you, Doc Gopher, for stimulating some interesting dialog regarding the 1962 Minnesota-Wisconsin game! November 22, 1941 #1 Minnesota 41 Wisconsin 6 Gophers win 17th straight and wrap up their 6th Big 10 title in 10 years. In Bruce Smith's last game, he throws a touchdown pass to a...

November 17, 1934 Minnesota 35 Chicago 7 Gophers pound Maroons with 335 rushing yards en route to Bierman's first National Championship. It was a long day for a junior back for Chicago who would go on to become the first Heisman Trophy winner in 1935. Can you name him? November 18,1972...
