This needs to go on the Gopherhole main page

I recall his papa posting on Gopherhole on a regular basis.

Do you mean like getting to 8 wins? And the last two times we reached 8 wins we became the first ever B1G team with 8 wins to play in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl AND the first B1G team with 8 wins to ever play in the Pinstripe Bowl.

Is the first NIL deal for a Lutheran food brand still available? Seems like a great opportunity to make history.

I think they are going to need to determine conference champions some other way. Tie breakers. It would suck some years but as it currently stands, you get these situations where some teams are playing an extra game for the right to get a bye, which doesn't make much sense. The playoff is going...

Mason's non conference schedules used to really frustrate me. Heavy on the MAC, light on the power conferences. And although not entirely his fault, having four non con games actually gets a bit boring if you are going to schedule all four as cup cakes. I do think it is important to have a...

this was the most uncomfortable agreement I have ever read through. "What started as a small disagreement, escalated to a profound agreement that resulted in a physical altercation. We have witness reactions at 10:00 PM."

Goal #1 is to avoid a baseball stadium with that useless turf, any baseball stadium. I would throw up in my mouth a little if the Gophers get pushed all the way down to the pinstripe bowl AGAIN.

It is a well known fact that Fleck likes nature, and that certainly includes real grass. Ross Ade stadium features a real grass field and the Purdue job is OPEN. Let the interview countdown begin.

This has been my experience as well. I saw far worse things (consistently) from Wisconsin and Iowa fans in and around the Metrodome than I ever did at Kinnick, Camp Randall, or at MN after 2009.

This was Wisconsin chopping the goalpost down next to the MN student section while the band was playing the school hymn. They did change the way trophy games are conducted in that the trophy has been moved away from the team’s bench to the end zone to avoid potential confrontations.

The predictable result when the ultimate self-imploding team plays the ultimate find-a-way-to-win team. So predictable that I literally called it prior to Nebraska’s last ill-fated drive. I said that giving the ball to Nebraska in a tie game with less than 2:00 left is a guaranteed turnover and...

That is a fair account of the season. If the Gophers had the kind of one score game luck (well, they created their own luck but converting miraculous plays down the stretch vs Fresno and GA southern on fourth down was crazy) as they had in 2019, this could very well have been another 2019 for...

It really needs to be a 2:30 kickoff either way. It’s a game that begs to end in the dark.

It’s going to be tough for Fuckell (as he is commonly called on the Wisconsin boards) to survive beyond next season without obvious improvement.

I am breaking my own rule here by commenting in a thread that I think is dumb. For some reason, Minnesotans think Fleck is a mediocre coach until any new job becomes available. At that point they both think Fleck has won 30 straight games, AND Appalachian State is a better head coaching job...

This is my favorite road combo. Glad to see it for Friday’s game.

I get that a lot of people think of bowl games as exhibitions. They started that way and with early departures, transfers, playoffs, and prep for the NFL combine - bowl games seem to be returning to those exhibition roots. But for now they still count in the season record and they are still...

exactly. The institutions that seem to get their hires right, seem to be decisive and have a list that they work through internally before the names begin to leak. The Brewster hire and even the Kill hire dragged around and didn't seem to have a rhyme or reason to it. As hind sight...

The reason I say the debate is front and center is because it comes up a lot and the “gotta sit in the sun” crowd always piles on how critical the sun is but in reality it is rarely in play (with this game being a perfect example). What it comes down to is some people simply struggle more in...
