What you (or I) want is irrelevant to why the NFL does it.

Jerry Kill's a good coach and he loves doing it. Maybe it's not the best thing for his health, but a lot of people risk a lot to do what they love. I see people climbing cliff faces, and my reactions is "nope!" but that's what they love doing.

If we go to the Orange Bowl, I could bring my family and we could drive down the Florida Keys. I was stationed in Homestead and I never made it all the way down the keys. If we went to the Citrus Bowl, I would bring my family and my wife could take our daughter to Disney World while I'm at the game.

Nothing foolish about it. You don't give your opponent any more information than you have to.

It's like a modern-day Platonic dialogue.

I have no idea, but if I did know, I'd keep Fleck's secret safe so Northwestern didn't find out.

Sure, you have to take the same seriously, but this is a game the Gophers should win if they don't take a nap. Rushing Offense: MN 43, Northwestern 62 Passing Offense: MN 50, Northwestern 126 Rushing Defense: MN 28, Northwestern 49 Passing Yards Allowed: MN 16, Northwestern 31 Total Offense: MN...

If I recall correctly, "freaking out" was an overstatement, and the issue fans had wasn't in playing Syracuse but that Gopher fans were hoping for a most prestigious bowl.

If you base the division winner on the record within the division, then the games against the other division are essentially non-conference games.

Northwestern's net punting is #112 at 36.06 yards per game. A combination of poor offense and poor punting could lead to good field position for the Gophers.

I wish I could make it, but I have other obligations in town that evening. I'm a little tempted to take an early flight Saturday morning, and then catch the 3:50 PM flight out back to Minneapolis, but that's crazy talk.

Case closed, huh? I guess we might as well not even play the game. After all, upsets never happen, do they?

Who decides which is the next best team in the Big Ten? Does the Rose Bowl decide, or they they use rankings? If the Rose Bowl gets to decide, they might decide an 11-2 Gophers team is a more compelling story than an 11-2 Penn State team. If anyone can sell the Gophers' story, it's Fleck.

If you wanted to wear gold, but wanted to stay warm, there are these gold mylar blankets. https://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Survival-Thermal-Blanket-Reflective/dp/B07Q2KCFGS Amazon sells a 10 pack of them for $13.99. I bet if the U were to put in an order for $50,000, they'd get a pretty good...

Back despite popular demand, it's time again to eat our opponents. No, not like that. Wait, it's Iowa? Well, maybe... No, that would be wrong. So, can we eat a Hawk? Turns out, birds of prey are perfectly edible, just not very enjoyable: But wait! They're the Hawkeyes, not the Hawks. We...

I'd like to wear this to a Gold Out.

As others have pointed out, the badger is not red and the wolverine is not blue. I'd say that the maroon and gold is a whole lot closer to the colors of the Gopher. The tan of a gophers is similar to gold - we call a wheat field golden, and it's closer to the color of a Gopher. Now, the maroon...

The Gophers were 6-2 in the Big Ten in 1973. Already 6-0. That's one big threshold crossed - more to go! Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

It's that time again, time to eat our opponents! No, not like that. It's time to eat our opponent's mascot. ... that's one mangy looking lion. Not sure I want to eat that one. But portion management is very important. An African Lion weighs around 410 pounds on average. That's a lot of...

It appears that you can be co-champions. https://gopsusports.com/news/2011/11/27/Postgame_Notes.aspx?path=football From Penn States post-game notes, November 11, 2011:
