I’m making no judgments on this year. Consider it an exhibition season. Not sure that they should be playing at all but it has been a nice escape when they do play.

I would like to see a list that was P5 venues only as I don’t hold those other schools to the same standard. Like covered above, the list isn’t just about the stadium itself. I’d have Illinois and Purdue listed - they are no better than Maryland. Nebraska is a good atmosphere though the...

Several very obvious holding calls that were missed that made the late PI seem like a reasonable payback.

Why would a tight end go to Minnesota? I hate Ferentz but even his boring offense has some variation. I’m not sure why PJ gets psyched out against IA year after year.

Some hopeful news. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/14/need-some-good-news-about-covid-19-here-are-six-reasons-optimism/

The main point the CDC chart displayed above tells us is that current fatality counts are incomplete - as numbers continue to be updated several months later. The ‘it’s the flu’ crowd would know that deaths are undercounted as the CDC regularly updates figures upward for flu related fatalities...

The pandemic is a very tough foe. But, the US results are due to either incompetent leadership or seemingly worse - malevolent leadership at the top. We didn’t have to be in the position we are in nor should we have essentially given up trying to control the virus. Losing football is a rather...

The younger, healthier can go to the game approach works only if those fans stay isolated. The risk is that transmission occurs at the game and the virus moves from one community to another which will include at risk populations. We value personal liberty, but we do live in communities. You may...

I have visions of the best Gopher Football performance in 60 years and a trip to Indy and the Rose Bowl. But no live fans see any of it. If the Gophers win the Big Ten and no one is there to see it does it count?

Everything Casey. Drama drama drama in preseason but winning. Nervous but slaying the likes of Purdue, NE, MD. Creme de la creme - Mid November and we were still discussing National Championship scenarios. Alas, still need a Rose Bowl. Been saying ‘wait til next year’ for over four decades and...

Lou Holtz

If we are talking about Jeshurun’s DB list, I think Lou Holtz and Mitch Lee would be top 4. As much as I was a fan while he was here, ol’ Jer may deserve a spot - though that would be after his U tenure so maybe just a plaque down below the Mt Rushmore.

This is a neat story, thank you for sharing. As the Swede’s say - there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes. The metrodome and now US Bank stadium stole both our identity and contributed to people not embracing the true Bold North. Maybe a young lady from Hawaii can get a few more...

Pitino will forever be his father’s son - only with less success. That’s not what I want for my alma mater. You can’t start the healing until you stop the bleeding.

Exactly, this has nothing to do with Fleck and MN, just sucking up to Franklin and PSU fans. Tell them what they want to hear.

Do you remember what you were thinking when it was 3rd and 30? As a long time Gopher fan, I’m pretty good at going straight to depression and try not to spend long in denial or anger. But getting to acceptance is still hard. I was bargaining already with myself on how to accept a loss and what...

The question is based on a false premise that fans of the Twin Cities can be only one thing. Last I saw the Vikings were not in the Big 10 West so I’m not sure why people worry about them in respect to the Gophers. My guess is when both Vikings and Gophers do well, they actually improve the...

Does a school have to offer a fifth year? Here Howard had four years of scholarship and appears he will obtained a bachelors degree. Could the offer for him be - hey, love to have you on the team next year but it would be the equivalent of a PWO and we see you on special teams and 2-3 deep on...

It would have to not interfere with future recurring trips to Pasadena for me to go. Cheerios Bowl actually would work marketing-wise or Wheaties Bowl with winning team getting their picture on the box. Play up the winter, north, holiday season, etc. Players would like playing in an NFL...

We stopped at The Pit Stop. It was right on I75. The pork sandwich was not good, reminded me of jr high lunch.
