    Brosmer is the best QB we have had in 20 years .....

    Yep. Even today, against a tough defense, he was 60%. His overall skills are the best in more than 20 years.

    Wish we could see the Warmath uniforms again...

    They looked terrific Saturday - and the amazing thing is how modern they still look. When they were adopted in the '50s, they were considered very cutting edge, clean-looking, modern. And they still do!

    Homecoming Uniforms: Numbers on helmets against Maryland.

    The amazing thing about the uniforms is how modern they look - yet Warmath introduced them in 1954. They look so sharp today, I wouldn't mind seeing them more often, maybe as the regular home uniform, as they once were.

    Illinois will wear these sweet throwback uniforms vs. Michigan Saturday. The 1920s-themed uniforms commemorates 100th anniversary of Red Grange’s 6-TD

    Grange got his revenge many years later when he gave a rousing pep talk to the Illinois 1957 team when they played undefeated and #4 Gophers early in the season. The loss turned into a spiral for the Gophers, whose losing season was followed by two of Warmath's worst, 1958 and '59, which nearly...

    Illinois will wear these sweet throwback uniforms vs. Michigan Saturday. The 1920s-themed uniforms commemorates 100th anniversary of Red Grange’s 6-TD

    1924 was a big year for Red Grange - a unanimous All-American and legendary for the big win over Michigan, 39-14, when he seemingly scored every time he touched the ball. Less well known is that he played at Minnesota that year in the game officially inaugurating our Memorial Stadium. Illinois...

    Nebraska is back...

    What a drop for Michigan, but what a drop for Alabama, too - two losses and barely beat South Carolina 27-25. Shows what a difference one coach can make.

    Perich named Thorpe Award National DB of the week

    Not too many years ago a player like Koi would be on the roster for all four years. Think of the honors!

    Who is your Gophers MVP in the win over UCLA?

    Brosmer was the difference in the final Q of Michigan and against both USC and UCLA. Hit 70% of 37 passes tonight for 200 yards and 2 TDs. Stopping our running game, which has cost us games in the past, won't do it now. A shame Max doesn't have another year or two of eligibility with us. Defense...

    Hot take: are these the best Gopher's unis of all time?

    I was watching the B10 channel 60-minute version of the game and thought; "These uniforms are just about perfect for home games." Maybe we should see them more often - a classy blend of maroon and gold.

    POST GAME THREAD: GOPHERS BEAT USC!!!

    The O-line arrived and the offense could both pass and run, while the D was awesome. Doesn't get any better than that.
