Negative, naysaying Northwestern Nation needing nicer news. Noting numbing negative narratives no new nicer news now for Northwestern. Gophers 19. NU 9.

I am impressed with your realism. You get the fact that for most BT teams, the expectation of winning the conference or the division every year is unrealistic. A fan can still be a fan as long as the team is competitive with most of the teams within the conference. Hence, for me the BT...

Well done IceBox! This is a great thread!

Well stated and I think, very true. Beat Northwestern Gopher footballers!

You are more than kind, Rescooter. It’s a great time to be a Gopher fan! Believe me, if you insulted me, I had it coming. On message boards, it’s easy to play with the words, the topics of the day and the sarcasm. You are quick witted and just like me, you do have opinions. That’s good...

Probably is true. Probably really doesn’t matter at all right now. Beat Northwestern, Gopher!

Hmmmmm. There you go, BleedGopher, reading in between the lines again. Just what do you mean by your remark: “…Go Concise Wren…” I don’t know whether to like it, feel offended by it, resent it OR to start getting ready to pack my keyboard and leave. I fear this site has given me a severe...

I was born in 1947. However, those days were celebrations for those who loved football…loved and appreciated Big Ten football…and appreciated just how special it was to be able to root for and love the fact that your home state was a part of Big Ten land. There was not a lot of hype. There...

“Run the ball and stop the run…”

However, he does have a huge line of 23 year olds this year. He has what he has in the here and now. He is living in and coaching in the present moment, IMHO.

It was an important Big Ten win. Game ball to the offensive line! Personally, I was pleased to have the running game pound the ball down Maryland’s throat to end the first half. I think that took a great deal out of their defense. Too bad about the field goal, but, I believe they broke...

Totally agree.

However, when fans pencil in wins before the games are played…sometimes those penciled in wins are erased and become losses. Then, those fans moan, wail, gnash teeth and want to fire coaches, assistant coaches and take out all their feelings of being entitled to those now erased wins that they...

“Minnie men” make matchup miserable for Maryland. Morgan manages Minnesota marches magnificently as Minneapolis media members mumble morosely.

You are such a great Gopher fan that you remember all the talent that was still in the Gopher Football Program for Coach Fleck to figure out how to use for his first season Some people around here are rather fond of trying to give a great coach like Coach Fleck too much excuse and handicap for...

It sure is great that Coach Fleck managed to equal Coach Mason’s w/l record for a 25 game stretch. After all, Coach Fleck was at the disadvantage of having to play all of his home games outside, in a stadium that was almost brand new and, of all places on the campus. That darn old dome used to...

I don’t think the Gophers went to a bowl game in the 2020 season…

Well put! I totally agree. In fact, I care very much about the place and standing in the West Division of the B1G that Minnesota achieves this year and every year. A B1G team in any given year IS what their B1G record in terms of wins and losses says it is. The same is true of a Big Ten...

Big Ten wins will separate the wheat from the chaff and will provide the ONLY complete ranking of the 2021 Big Ten East & the Big Ten West divisions. And then the East will meet the West in the show down. All questions of Big Ten rankings for the 2021 season will be forever historically...

The ground was broken in 2006. The prospect of a new stadium at Minnesota made the job one heck of a lot more attractive. Without Mason, it wouldn’t have happened then. If not then, when? also, it showed some commitment on the part of the administration to football. The state also kicked in...
