Born in northern NJ. Lived in NYC area until college, but came back years later and worked in Manhattan for over ten years during the Guliana era. The environment has clearly changed since then, and all the comments about safety are correct. Ditto bowl, baseball stadium, opponent etc. But from...

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We have an off-season ahead with the impact of the Transfer Portal, recruiting, unforeseen changes to the roster, and, possibly, unforeseen changes to the coaching staff (Rossi getting a HC job). But, I like what I see in the Illinois Rifleman and his young...

It's not an axe, it's THE AXE, and it's staying home! Congrats to the Gopher team and especially the seniors.

Execution. As GHer RememberMurray so often states, it's execution that determines who wins and who loses tight games. Who blocks, and who tackles on critical plays with the game on the line. Who catches the pass, and who doesn't when the yardage is needed? Who kicks the field goal in a tight...

To Gophernut1:The onside kick by Grant was a real headscratcher. Rosemount was going to get the ball at the start of the second half. At the time of the kick, it was 7-7. If he had kicked and put Rosemount at the 25-yard line or less they may have scored, but putting them at their 40-yard line...

Getting ready. Two pair of wool socks, check. Insulated boots, check. Long johns. check. Insulated pants, check. Snowpants, check. Base layer that wicks, check. Wool sweater, check. Fleece, check. Shell with hood around neck,, check. Mittens with hand warmer insert, check. I'm ready for the win...

First time since a Lakeville team many years ago did it but EP lost twice in one year to a team. Rosemount once again very opportunistic on offense. EP fumbled the opening kickoff and Rosemount scored in1:45. EP tied it up near the end of the half but then, for some reason, went to an onside...

Isn't EP/Rosemount a 7:30pm start?

Gopher football weather! Not so sure about the status of the faithful followers who will be tailgating and watching the game.

Enough analysis GopherHolers. Who will win the 6AAAAAA Semis? My picks: EP 21 Rosemount 14 Lakeville South 28 Maple Grove 24

I went to the 2018 NW game too and was cold on the M side, 15 yard line, lower, despite layers of everything. My tickets this year are 240 and last week's game vs NW wasn't too bad with boots, two wool socks, thermal, lined pants, snow pants, base layer up top, wool sweater, fleece, and...

I've seen all four play. I don't think MG's schedule was up to the other three. Having said that, this is an indoor game. Whose OL shows up? Whose Defense shows up? I think the various coaches' game plays for an indoor game and the execution of the game plan against a specific opponent will be...

I agree that the 6AAAAAA Semis will see physical play. The teams left all run the ball effectively. I don't know if I agree that LS has the best passing game; it was nonexistent in the LS/EP game earlier in the season, though later in the season looked better with Hansen as the go-to guy. As an...

Great post FUBAR. I agree with you on the EP/Rosemount game. I think it's going to come down to the EP Center Sather and his two friends to his left and to his right vs a swarming Rosemount D. The game is indoors so I wouldn't put it past Coach Grant to try some funny stuff with Fazzi, but I...

6AAAAAA semis are set. EP/Rosemount and Lakeville South/Maple Grove. I think the Final will be EP/Lakeville South. For those GopherHolers who follow and are interested in high school football, your thoughts?

I went to the EP/Shakopee game tonight. Base layer, wool sweater, fleece and a shell with an internal fleece layer and it was enough to withstand the 30+mph gusts.......barely. EP won the rematch with their grind-it-out style and terrific defense. The EP/Rosemount game next week, indoors, should...

The eight-yard run at the start of the third quarter when he froze the Husker's DE and the 55 yd toss against the wind did it for me. Regarding the pass, I was in Section 20, Row 95 and there was quite a breeze at the time.Trickett's FG's were also impressive for the same reason.

EP road graders should do well this evening against Shakopee in the "calm" weather forecast. I agree with MNVCGUY that kickoffs and punts will be an adventure, as well as any pass more than 10 yards.

Gophers crush Northwestern 35-10. Trophy game for Floyd next up.

Interesting dialogue about bowls. Just finish 9-3 and then let the AD's negotiate within BIG and respective bowl committees.
