This has probably been reported here, but the reason for the slip-and-slide field was that they opened the roof for about 20 minutes in a driving rainstorm so parachutists could deliver the game ball. Absolutely dumb decision in my opinion.

This guy would pull crap back in the day. IIRC at one point he had his team's football jerseys made with a football-shaped and colored patch sewn on the front with the idea that fake handoffs etc would be more deceptive. He also used some ethically questionable clock management tricks. Sounds...

That was fun! I looked to try and see myself in the south endzone, but no luck. Go Gophers!!

Both are true. But over the years I cannot tell you how many times I have said to myself (well sometimes I have screamed it) late in a Gopher game, "Someone make a play!! We make a play, we win." IIRC I have frequently wanted a sack in tight situations, but I do not ever remember getting one at...

I kind of wished that Perich would have simply knocked down that last pass instead of intercepting it. But he did immediately go to the ground and "down it." He still deserved to be defensive player of the week!

I think that there are different versions of OCD. Looks like you might have a touch of one of them. I am pretty sure that I have one also.

I am all in on PJ! I just hope that he doesn’t become really dumb or conservative between now and Saturday night. I may change my mind 😜.

Wee seem very welcoming to a transfer QB as long as they ply well for us. Also if some transfers awy from us they become a bad guy. Kind of like professional wrestling, guys can go from a bad guy to a good guy quickly, and visa versa. I used to think that I was more sophisticated than a pro...

I've thought about this. My guess is that the chip would quickly be damaged by kicking, the ball hitting the ground and/or palyers diving for fumbles, etc.

Yes, the sneak does work sometimes, and there are risks with allowing the play to develop. What I like the best is to do what Holtz did. Use the triple option near the goal line, The wishbone is a very good goal line offense, and the QB does not need to be a great runner, just be able to make a...

Not a fan of the QB sneak near the goal line. It often comes down to an official's decision after a big pile-up and video review. Have a RB blast across the line and leave no freaking doubt. I like the sneak a lot more when used farther from the goal line. Yes, it worked, this time...

If a college QB thinks that his coach is not continually looking for someone to replace him, he needs to have a little chat with some former college QBs. That's the nature of the business.

Fair enough. Thanks for looking this up. One loss after a big upset win that is etched in my mind was our win over #1 Michigan in 1977 (OK that is WAAAYYYYY back). I remember my dad saying, "Boy will they be flat next week in Indiana." We lost that next game against an inferior opponent...

Of course, it is not a scientific observation. And I hope that I am wrong.

This will not be an easy game. IIRC we do not have a strong record in games after a big upset win. Go Gophers!

Suddenly the remainder of the schedule does not look so daunting.

The issues are even more amplified by Minnesota’s issues upfront, but pressures and sacks are just as much on the quarterback as the offensive line. Not sure about the above. True, an elusive QB and/or one who has great pocket presence is hard to pressure or sack, but Brosmer is consistently...

Your points are well-taken.
