    Yes. Sarcasm intended.

    Planting Flags and confrontations

    If referring to the Gophers win in 2021 for playing Jump Around, don't think that's apples to apples. First, it was at the home stadium. Second, Sconnie was off the field. And third, it was fans of course with the team. Given Sconnie's history there might be other instances of egregious Jump...

    Yes. 2015. And we won The Jug in that one.

    In thinking about the modern state of the game, it is worth recalling why the Floyd of Rosedale trophy exists. Real violence was being threatened that makes flag planting fisticuffs seem pale in comparison. Maybe Governor Whitmer should bet Governor Dewine a barrel of Vlasic pickles, versus a...

    Probably need Barry and Donna to come out of retirement and build it up again.

    Outside Lois Feldman's tryst at the Dome the lowest of the lows for I-O-W-A fans the Billd's have witnessed at TCF was when the Hawks first visited with Coach Kill at the helm. In that game an overserved Hawk fan started barking about Kill having a seizure and epilepsy for whatever insult was...

    So what’s next? What Bowl Game we thinking?

    Let's have a GT rematch in Charlotte. That game in 2018 was Mo's coming out party and who could forget Big Dan's pancake for the ages...

    Yes, that game was where the "old" tradition of the visiting victor chopping the goalposts ran into the "new" tradition of playing Hail Minnesota in the east end zone after each game. So that was Brewster's fault for not thinking it through...:p Even last year when Sconnie won at TCF there...

    Speaking of planting the flag, I do believe it was Lawrence Maroney who planted the Block M flag on the 50 yard line at Michigan Stadium in 2005. The Michigan players did not appreciate that move at all. No fisticuffs as I recall but still considered somewhat tacky.

    Good question. Thought the same myself with the first replay. It was the top of the helmet that dislodged the ball. Plus, I wondered if forward progress had been whistled down too? The QB was being pushed backward at the point of contact. That would make him defenseless as I understand the...

    Thinking some more about GT/UGA vs UM/PSU as unranked underdogs playing out-of-their-league quality football. We played PSU at home but still came up short. That GT team last night would have beaten UGA at Bobby Dodd or possibly Mercedes Benz Stadium if not in Athens. They pulled off that...

    Should Minnesota vs Wisconsin stay on Black Friday

    I channel being a banana slug the day after Thanksgiving so it's mainly a no for me. Watched the game today which was fine but going to TCF would be just a little more challenging until I digest a little more of the turkey I consumed on Thursday.

    I watched Corn Nation and Scott took it pretty well all-in-all. They definitely do not like losing to I-O-W-A.

    Brosmer

    His only shortcoming to me was he had a learning curve that should have been fully expected. I bought into his New Hampshire stats as being ready for the B1G+ show but it took him those first games to adapt to the speed of D1 play. The fact that he not only adapted but excelled when the O Line...

    I think we resemble that remark and point taken. Playing Auburn turned out pretty well as I recall. Virtually no one picked us to win that one, especially the Auburn fans.

    Fun game to watch. Tech against UGA much like us against PSU. Sure the folks at The Swarm are bummed but both teams had their chances once it got to OT. There's a chance we'd play GT if we go to Charlotte. That would be a good match-up. Revenge game for 2018 for them.

    Tech is playing inspired football in Athens tonight. Georgia looking way, way, way...did I type "way?"...ahead to next week in Atlanta. There is a chance for the Gophers to have a rematch with Tech in Charlotte depending on how the stars line. That could be a very good game. First things...
