    Short Ornery Norwegian...

    Well, since our football spirit animal is the 13-lined ground squirrel native to the short-grass prairie biome, I'm guessing Minnesota Golden Gophers Elysian Fields resemble this... Sorry in this picture we're sharing it with NDSU...

    Short Ornery Norwegian...

    Yep. Went from Double Secret Probation to loudly clicking clock after that one for Coach B. Since the Billds always stay to the bitter end, I recall the 'Yotes lining up the full team, coaches, everyone at the West End Zone to take their yearbook picture showing the scoreboard. "Happy campers...

    Short Ornery Norwegian...

    I've had the honor of running into Bleed a couple of times...once crossing Washington Avenue to go to a game (he had LittleBleed with him at the time as I recall) and the other at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando when we played Mizzou. Fortunately for GHNation, Bleed still has many years left in him...

    Loon a.k.a Walrus posted back in January as I recall. I also have a vague recollection that SON took a hiatus some time back. And yes Tipsy and Rupert certainly had no trouble expressing themselves back in the day.

    What was your favorite Patrick Reusse moment?

    Thought this might be serious but understand why not. Was going to note my favorite Patrick piece was from the 2003 Michigan Game week a couple of days before The Game. Both the Gophers and Vikings had come out swinging that season, and although the Twins were making noise (that was why the...

    1940-41 FB Seasons Scrapbook

    The asking was $300 but I'm sure a reasonable counter would be entertained. I was already purchasing some other items and just was not motivated enough to go further. Amore Antiques in Anoka Amoré Antiques Always something Antique, Vintage, and Collectible! amoreantiques.com 763-576-1871

    Sources: P.J. Fleck bolstering Minnesota special teams staff

    Support this for sure. Always room for improvement here, especially on KO returns until the NCAA follows suit with the NFL and basically neuters that part of the game.

    1940-41 FB Seasons Scrapbook

    Hi guys. $300 was the asking but I'm sure it could be bartered down. How far who knows but I'd already decided to purchase some other items and just wasn't motivated to go further in the moment. Nonetheless very interesting find. There also was a gold-colored 1970s Frisbee with this fella on...

    1940-41 FB Seasons Scrapbook

    Was in Anoka yesterday enjoying Mrs. Billd's birthday by doing some antiquing in some local shops. One of the things I always look for is UM football memorabilia and the like. Sure enough in one of the cases was a card on top of a bound album that read "1940s Minnesota Football Season" or...

    RandBall: This Gophers men’s basketball winning streak is shocking

    The Billds always say "winning is better." Goes for basketball too. Ski U Mah!

    Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2024 Season

    Big Dan looked to be there pretty much every offensive snap. Hopefully he is managing his money well so he can buy a nice cattle station in Queensland somewhere in retirement.

    New 2025 committ

    Didn't realize myself how good Bucky could be and ended up being. Gotta trust the system at this point. On RBs, track record is pretty good.

    Greg Eslinger inducted into CFB Hall of Fame.

    The U had a season schedule poster back in the day that had Eslinger pulling as the middle focus of the poster. We saw some really good line play back in those days. Greg was a big part of it. Congrats.

    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    Dating myself but back in the Sun Bowl and Insight Bowl days there were issues around whether the Band would travel. B1G+ institutions are rolling around in much more $$$ now versus then so it's probably not as big a concern. It was nice to have the Band in Charlotte is my better point.
