I had read this book when it first came out, but just finished reading it again as it was a Christmas gift. This is a fantastic book and I could not put it down once I started. It is the story written by a reported named John Feinstein who had inside access for a year with Bobby Knight and the...

Hahaha -- the Vikings "whine line" after a loss is very predictable. I can imagine how much fun they have taking calls after a loss..............

I remember it wasn't all that long ago that Nebraska thought they would come in and just dominate the entire conference. That didn't exactly happen. I think USC is probably due for a surprise, especially when they come out for an away game in late November with 20 mph winds. They have no idea...

So the Big Ten is 5-4 with the national championship to go.....gotta love the Gophers!!!

Engle had a glitch where he wouldn't throw it hard back to the pitcher. Other teams kept delay stealing on him and he couldn't stop throwing lollipop tosses back to the pitcher.

we do this all the time. Not surprised. It just is what it is with Fleck.

This is a very even game. We look more like a MAC team than they look like a Big Ten team. I sure hope one of those transfers can play QB because we sure need him!!

A lot of these bowls games are won by the team that is more motivated for it and I think the Gophers are very motivated right now. They want to erase all the bad feelings of the last 4 games and I think PJ Fleck really goes for these bowl games. Add to the fact it's a chance to avenge maybe his...

Separate events yes, but how do you think Mason felt when Brewster - a big nobody - was selected as his replacement? Or - how do you think he felt when the next few years unfolded???

It is a little sad that our former head coach here is coaching tight ends at Charlotte 15 years later. Meanwhile, Lou Holtz went and won a national championship just 3 years later on the opposite side of the coaching spectrum.. I can't even imagine how angry Glen Mason was getting fired for...

As I was watching the game I thought -- "I sure am glad I did not pay 200-300 dollars to watch this game!!!" haha

The Vikings won 3-0 yesterday in an extremely boring game. I told my son, "It was like watching Iowa play an intersquad scrimmage!!!"

I think the most interesting thing to watch is where he ends up. Does he end up at a power 5 school or does he take it down a notch to a MAC school??

well -- the truth should come out fairly soon. It will get very interesting so stay tuned!!

I think my biggest concern is we just had our QB really regress this year. Remember last year this kid looked like he was going to be really good. He comes in and beats Nebraska, torches Wisconsin and then wins the Bowl Game. Maybe he isn't spectacular, but he looked pretty solid. So why the...

Haha -- I have got to agree. You just don't see smart football teams doing that. I think the Illinois and the Northwestern losses stung way more than this one did. I think everyone was expecting it. I just wish I had the guts to drive to Diamond Jo's and wager heavily on it but I just don't...

The defense is right about where it was pre Rossi the last 4 games and the offense was inept pretty much all year. The fans were pretty down after the Illinois and Northwestern games but fans seemed very unaffected after the Wisconsin game. This tells me a lot about how the fans think of this...

The game was so utterly predictable the fans seemed completely unaffected by the outcome on the way out!!

Please no bowl game if we lose. I think the fans have suffered enough.....

The general consensus is Fleck is a better coach than Brewster and deserves another chance after a down season. I would agree with that take as well. I would not mind re-tooling the offense a bit and getting the defense back to where it was during the Iowa and MSU victories is a paramount...
