A bland, broad statement from Sid that seems to pass along good news. MV @ FBT reads this to mean that there were no academic casualties. His logic seems to make sense. There doesn't appear to be any other articles about this yet. Anyone read something different that I might have missed?

Interesting YouTube from the U that focuses on introducing us to the D coaching staff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaSnaBJ1TJA&feature=youtu.be

For all the hemming and hawing about a practice facility at the U you can safely say that the Gophers do not have the worst facility issues in the Big Ten when it comes to ability to practice. That honor belongs to Penn State...

For any runners out there, the U is launching an inaugural 5K run this spring. The run will take place on campus and end at the stadium. As a someone who lives in Madison I've seen how big Crazylegs has become here. I'm glad to see that the U is following suit. It's a great way to connect...

Schadenfreude...there is nothing quite like it. http://michiganzone.blogspot.com/2011/01/michigan-fans-react-to-news-about-dave.html

So, the absolute meltdown and freakout over on Michigan blogs/fansites is intense. They are PISSED at how the RichRod firing was handled (and I don't blame them). It is enjoyable to watch. MGoBlog is threatening to do nothing but post after post of swearing if Hoke gets hired. In my mind...

Includes some details we knew (Miller Assoc HC and LB Coach) and some that weren't totally set in stone yet (Reeves no longer RB coach, will coach H-Backs and TE's instead). http://www.gophersports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8400&ATCLID=205057865

Just got my e-mail from Gopher Fan Relations to comment on this season at TCF. Figured it might be a good idea to start a thread to get folks to share their idea in one place. I'm still thinking all mine through and I'd hate to forget something. I think having everyone chime in might job...

Here is an album of photos from the U's Facebook page that shows the snow removal process. My faves are this one: or this one:

One thing I think many folks on the board have lamented is the lack of a strong walk-on tradition at MN. I'm wondering if Coach Kill's history of coaching up less heralded guys might result in a better walk-on program. Certainly we'll likely see more MN kids get scholly offers who might not...

From a Doogie retweet: "Maturi said he regretted making the "Tubby-type" hire proclamation. Says he knew all along they wouldn't get a big name." EPIC FAIL Joel. EPIC FAIL. Not a slam on Kill. I'm liking the guy. But its rare that you get to see someone at his level manage to be as capable...

Not sure how many folks caught this, but an alternate Floyd signed by almost all of the 1935 Gopher's team will be on display in the Hall of Fame at TCF this Saturday. A cool bit of forgotten history that I certainly never knew about...

Ok, I've never seen this outside of the playground. Presbyterian uses a lateral fumblerooksi to score a 68 yard TD. <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="265" id="viddler"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/f3412d5d"...

I was all excited to win this year's pumpkin carving contest. Come back to us Ben! :)

http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/102028398.html?page=2&c=y Kudos to Phil for a nice profile on Adam. And kudos to Adam. Despite everything he's been through, he'll still leave the U with the records he earned and a rep as a classy player and team leader. Hopefully he'll also leave...
