so much of this is sooooo predictable. If I could predict this from behind my keyboard as joe-fan, why couldn't the Colorado administration predict they would be getting nothing more than a couple few years of a circus? Maybe they felt the circus and accompanying media attention was going to...

Just say the quiet part out loud: you’d rather be a big fish in a little pond and play in the MAC, or have the B1G become the MAC. Fair enough. I want the Gophers to make waves in the best conference, and compete in the best conference. Improve themselves in the best conference. The best...

Just like FCS, DII, and DIII regular seasons have been meaningless for decades.the Michigan/Ohio State game sure has been a major topic of conversation all throughout the playoffs. Seems like it had a lot of meaning. I like the way regular season records decide who makes the playoffs. I get...

There are some things to fix with this playoff but in general… what took so long? Really enjoyable multi team playoff. Scrap conf championship games, expand to 16 teams, play the first TWO rounds at the higher seed, and enjoy the last two rounds at bowl sites. A bigger playoff is awesome...

Tonight feels a LOT like last night if you are a B1G fan.

OSU brought the team they played Michigan with. Oregon says “thank you very little”

I was at near Gopher levels in my backing of Penn State over Notre Dame tonight. Really wanted an all-B1G final and chants of “SEC! SEC!” Echoing through the stadium. For a brief moment I was thinking to myself “I don’t know what I’d do if the Gophers lost a game like that.” And then I...

I figured things were in hand well enough toward the end of the second quarter that I sent a text with the Gopher/PSU box score to a couple out of state friends with the comment nobody in the playoffs has played PSU as tough as the Gophers. It has been all Notre Dame since then.

I thought the band always went to bowl games? Don’t the bowls themselves pay for at least part of that?

This discussion has pointed toward a LOT of things that conspired to affect attendance. In an attempt to summarize them in order of importance: 1. First ever Charlotte bowl outside of the week between the Holidays. Definite "post holidays" downer vibe and anchor on people wanting to take time...

I used to love the Goal Post. I still bought them at the Metrodome but eventually with the existence of the internet, they just became redundant. Speaking of the Metrodome, between the different memories there and the woulda coulda shoulda things they should have done once the move became...

yeah, most of those other dates besides new year's eve take place between the holidays when a lot of people have either already taken time off, or are more willing to take time off as opposed to Jan 3 when a lot of people are in up to their eyeballs with work thanks to all the procrastinating...

I don't think it is usually AFTER January 1 as well, correct? I have no data, just my personal feeling but it seems like it is a tall order to plan travel and take days off AFTER the holidays as opposed to the week between the holidays. The opt outs are finally becoming problematic as well...

I guess I don't feel the burden of "what if" is on me. I'd say it would be easy enough to find out exactly what would happen if NDSU went to the FBS level without hypothetical guessing if... they simply went to the FBS level.

let me know if you need tech tips and tricks. I love to help. I know from experience in the tech industry your anxiety level will drop considerably. For example, instead of giving me a wide berth moving forward, I could show you how to simply block me by starting your "ignore list" with ME...

2 minutes, max. It was a fairly recent post of yours, right at the top of the second page. Perhaps you are not very techy and think this is voodoo magic or hours worth of investigation? I wasn't particularly offended by the broadcast in general or "level of silly" but I didn't like how they...

You’ve got it backwards. Most Gopher fans couldnt care less about NDSU, their football team, or their fans. It would have stayed that way. But Gopherhole (and personal experiences) was long ago invaded by Bisonville characters tooting their horns with all the crackpot inflated stories that have...

yikes. Not sure this discussion called for profanity but you do you. If you actually read the back and forth that you yourself had with me you will note I specifically said the numbers of NDSU fans may no longer be here on Gopherhole. But they certainly were in year's past. They "hung around...

- From the thread about the Illinois/Minnesota game broadcast This you? Do we have to seek permission to be underwhelmed with a Gopher Football game broadcast? Who makes up the rules as to what is "fun" and what is poor quality? People do tend to offer their opinions on a message board.

Yes, tons of it. Pretty much 2010 or earlier until recently. Enjoy browsing/searching. It sounds like you might be one of these NoDak people in Gopher disguise. You wouldn't be the first.
