Purdue and Illinois play a trophy game, for the Purdue Cannon. Here‘s a somewhat humorous article from a couple of years ago that goes into a little depth: https://www.offtackleempire.com/2021/9/23/22686542/the-purdue-cannon-purdue-boilermakers-illinois-fighting-illini-football

In a fashion similar to NHL players not touching the Stanley Cup unless/until they win it, I’m not going to go to the Rose Bowl stadium unless/until the Gophers play in the Rose Bowl game.

Theathletic.com lists six B1G players the authors think are being overlooked for the NFL draft. Mo Ibrahim is included. Minnesota RB Mohamed Ibrahim Ibrahim’s measurements would scare away most evaluators, from his height (5-8) to his arm length (28 5/8 inches), both of which were the shortest...

Collegefootballnews.com put out its spring predictions for next season. Here’s their take on the Gophers: Minnesota Predictions Spring Prediction: 8-4 Big Ten Prediction: 5-4 Aug 31 Nebraska W Sept 9 Eastern Michigan W Sept 16 at North Carolina W Sept 23 at Northwestern W Sept 30 Louisiana W...

One factor to consider with Indiana is that they were 4-8 last year, and six of the losses were by at least 14 points. That would tend to force a team to pass more than it might like.

I’m guessing the Gophers are big underdogs to OSU, as well.

Nowhere in the world can you be 11-23 in your last 44. It’s all about that pesky arithmetic.

Regarding the bold, I’m not sure what you mean by “outpacing,” but in the Twin Cities radio ratings released on Nov 1, KFAN is #1, and KSTP-AM, aka Skor North, is #25. https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb027

Huntington Bank Stadium is one of the best places I’ve ever been for a college football game.

Bruce Feldman from theathletic.com picks the Gophers Iowa at Minnesota (-2.5), 4 p.m., Fox This is a salty rivalry among the coaches. I was about to pick the Hawkeyes, but I’ll go with the team with the stronger running game — especially since the Gophers average almost 100 more rushing yards...

There were definitely racquetball/handball/squash courts in the bowels of Memorial Stadium - I played there many times. The courts’ ceilings were slanted, due to the seating configuration of the stadium. That made for fun, interesting games!

I feel bad for you folks who are having problems, and hope the issues are straightened out quickly and to your satisfaction. Still, I have to thank you for your posts, as they remind me to put my tix in my phone’s wallet.

The restaurants on Capitol Square are pretty good, and in my opinion a notch above those on State Street in quality, though those on State have upped their games in the past couple of years. No matter where you go for lunch and/or dinner, get some ice cream at Memorial Union or Union South...

If the Gophers were to win their last four games and their bowl, ending up 10-3 with three regular-season trophies (yep, I count the bits of broken chair), I’d be thrilled! On the other hand (since there’s no such thing as a one-sided coin), I’d also spend some time in the off-season looking...

I don’t want to get into a pissing match with anyone over porta-potties. It would be nice to have a way to get relief at the top of the stadium - hell, gimme a bucket.

ALL porta-potties are terrible to clean and empty - trust me on that. They’d be used, and would alleviate at least some of the current wait time at restrooms in the concourse.

Restrooms on the top level, even if they’re just porta-potties.

If you look closely, you’ll see that was taken at TCF (or Huntington) Bank Stadium, likely after a Gophers win.

It made sense for him to go to West Bend. After all, look what it did for Refrigerator Perry! Perhaps you meant South Bend.
