Taking home the Axe or Floyd the Pig and playing in a bowl game will always merit at least a (B-). Winning a bowl game in addition to taking the Axe or Pig will qualify for a (B) or maybe (B+). An (A-) grade requires a Top 20 season record and a Top (10) season deserves an (A). The only way...

I don't have the answer to your question but Grand Rapids is on the Iron Range and not in the Arrowhead Region of Northeastern Minnesota which "old man" was asking about.

Probably never. Freshman weren't allowed to play on the varsity before 1972. I can't remember any player from the Arrowhead Region ever starting for the Gophers since that time. The only player I remember starting for the Gophers since 1960 is Chet Anderson from Duluth Central who played...

Not a damn thing. No professional athlete has ever given back part of their salary because fans or ownership don't think their performance results were worth the money. Interesting Stat: Now that Mauer is in there are only 11 catchers in MLB history who have entered the HOF through the...

If you haven't heard the song they wrote in Roswell, NM, where they were stranded for 10 days when their van broke down - here it is. Apparently, it's become something of an anthem for the City of Roswell. And here's another one of their cover songs that I like:

All four of the videos I posted are from a tight group of excellent musicians and singers who have popular youtube channels where they have posted numerous cover songs with many of them getting millions of views. They first met each other on-line and became good friends. They have toured...

The Gophers beat 6th ranked Purdue 27-13 at Memorial Stadium in 1968. Purdue was ranked No. 1 the previous week before they lost to Ohio State. They finished the season ranked 10th. Mike Phipps was the Purdue QB and Leroy Keyes was their running back. Phil Hagen was the Gopher QB and Jim...

The U's handling of the cases looked like "due process" to most people. The EOAA investigated the claims and the U Administration held individual hearings in which the football players could have an attorney present. Ten players where accused of violating the Student Code of Conduct and four...

I don't agree. Rossi turned a failing defense into a very solid defense that pretty much saved the rest of the season for the Gophers. Whatever impact Simon had in the two bowl games in which he was interim OC doesn't compare with what Rossi accomplished as interim DC.

I think it is likely that Fleck had more to do with the play calling in the two bowl games and developing the two 1st round WR draft picks than Simon. Fleck was a wide receiver and I have to believe he is closely involved with their development.

Nobody is talking about what it would be like to move to NYC and live there. We're talking about going to a football game at Yankee Stadium with the opportunity to see world famous tourist attractions that millions of people travel to visit every year. I would guess there are very few people in...

Correct. To use one of his favorite words, Reusse loves to "agitate" people. He has made a long and successful career out of it. Every GopherHole thread about Reusse (and there are too many to count) is filled with agitated Gopher fans who never miss an opportunity to rip him about what he...

Yes, PJ, it ALL falls on you.
