Not to beat a dead horse but it was tied with less than 7:30 left in the game, 21-21.

There is no excuse for posting on this thread. There was no potential mistake in reading the title. We opened this and walked through that door willingly.

Every tagboard sign Homecoming Date request my daughter (HS grad 2022) ever received had the word "Hoco" on it.

The Cal game was tied midway through the Fourth quarter. I call that competitive. Best had a nice game against the Gophers that day but he was matched nearly play for play by Eric Decker. Decker had 8 catches for well over 100 yards, two td receptions, and threw for another score. The fact...

Hope it goes better than the stripeout hoco game against Purdue a couple years back. At least I think that was homecoming that year.

It's the offseason now and time for some hard hitting topics fit for this time of year. What was your favorite Gopher football loss in the current stadium? Losses all suck, but some suck less than others and after some, it doesn't feel like a sad refugee march to the parking lot. For me...

I’ve seen a bunch of “too early” top 25 lists for next season and they almost always include Wisconsin and Nebraska and not one has included MN.

Decker is one of my all time favorite Gophers. I have often wondered what he could have accomplished in the current era. As it was, he was probably the biggest reason I could endure the Brewster era. He was one of the few guys I have ever seen that could take over a game from the split out wide...

so much of this is sooooo predictable. If I could predict this from behind my keyboard as joe-fan, why couldn't the Colorado administration predict they would be getting nothing more than a couple few years of a circus? Maybe they felt the circus and accompanying media attention was going to...

Just say the quiet part out loud: you’d rather be a big fish in a little pond and play in the MAC, or have the B1G become the MAC. Fair enough. I want the Gophers to make waves in the best conference, and compete in the best conference. Improve themselves in the best conference. The best...

Just like FCS, DII, and DIII regular seasons have been meaningless for decades.the Michigan/Ohio State game sure has been a major topic of conversation all throughout the playoffs. Seems like it had a lot of meaning. I like the way regular season records decide who makes the playoffs. I get...

There are some things to fix with this playoff but in general… what took so long? Really enjoyable multi team playoff. Scrap conf championship games, expand to 16 teams, play the first TWO rounds at the higher seed, and enjoy the last two rounds at bowl sites. A bigger playoff is awesome...

Tonight feels a LOT like last night if you are a B1G fan.

OSU brought the team they played Michigan with. Oregon says “thank you very little”

I was at near Gopher levels in my backing of Penn State over Notre Dame tonight. Really wanted an all-B1G final and chants of “SEC! SEC!” Echoing through the stadium. For a brief moment I was thinking to myself “I don’t know what I’d do if the Gophers lost a game like that.” And then I...

I figured things were in hand well enough toward the end of the second quarter that I sent a text with the Gopher/PSU box score to a couple out of state friends with the comment nobody in the playoffs has played PSU as tough as the Gophers. It has been all Notre Dame since then.

I thought the band always went to bowl games? Don’t the bowls themselves pay for at least part of that?

This discussion has pointed toward a LOT of things that conspired to affect attendance. In an attempt to summarize them in order of importance: 1. First ever Charlotte bowl outside of the week between the Holidays. Definite "post holidays" downer vibe and anchor on people wanting to take time...

I used to love the Goal Post. I still bought them at the Metrodome but eventually with the existence of the internet, they just became redundant. Speaking of the Metrodome, between the different memories there and the woulda coulda shoulda things they should have done once the move became...
