It's Border Battle time! I created a little gift for my co-workers who cheer for Becky Badger and thought you all might appreciate a chance to use it. Share the attached image with Wisky loving friends/family/co-workers. It's simple design should leave no doubt in their minds that yes...

Apparently KFAN has decided to bring on Matt Lepay (the voice of the Badgers) as one of their guests this morning. Didn't hear it myself...GG05 let me know that he was hearing about it as he drove to his worksite. Discuss.

Via Sid: Damn straight. I couldn't believe it (ok, I could but it still pissed me off) when people started leaving when Cal went up 28-21. Because no team has ever scored a TD in that situation.

So, I'm thinking with 2 games under our belts it'd be nice to share some thoughts on the food. What have you had? What did you like? What would you pass on in the future? Deals? Ripoffs? Haven't sampled a ton myself (which is partly why I'm starting this thread) but here are my thoughts: -...

Maturi spoke with Shooter and mentioned that he feels TCF should not be over-expanded should the Vikings play in it for a season or two in their yet to be approved new stadium. But the Gophers don't plan to significantly expand seating for the Vikings. "We could put some temporary seating in...

Or at least I think I do. I was reading a great blog that focuses on Target Field. He was at the Preview Day and was sharing his thoughts on TCF (short summary, he loves it like everyone else). But he had a great picture of exit ramps that wrap back and forth between the outer wall of TCF and...

You should avoid becoming a Boise State fan at all costs. They have a Color Plan for EVERY HOME GAME. Including last night when they told folks in each section what color to wear (see attached image). Here's the summary of the Color Plans: I happen to like the idea of a Solid Gold...

Per Rittenburg, the Gophers are using a program called Hudl Pro to increase the access players have to watch film (game and practice). Only 3 FBS teams are using it right now, as well as a couple of NFL teams. Basically its an online film/information library that the team/coaches can access...

I found the final part of Darcy's recent story on the "eats" at TCF to be very interesting: Could be happening sooner then expected?

No no, not Goldy. But this list does have both Purdue Pete and Bucky on it.

Phil Steele thinks the Gophers have the 5th toughest schedule in the nation. Here's his Top 10: PHIL STEELE’S 2009 TOUGHEST SCHEDULE: 1 South Carolina 2 Florida St 3 Oklahoma 4 Mississippi St 5 Minnesota 6 Arkansas 7 Georgia 8 Virginia Tech 9 Tennessee 10 Michigan St Here's his...

I know some folks have been looking at the experience factor and how the Gophers stack up. Here is Phil Steele's take: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_college/2009/07/phil-steeles-new-and-improved-experience-chart.html. Click on the link to see the full list. For the past 7 years I...

Per Rittenberg's blog, the game will be an 11am CST kick.

I know the can of worms this is opening but I found the analysis interesting. The Daily Gopher has a post up that references some work done by a blogger named Matt Hinton on the blog Dr. Saturday. Dr. Saturday took a look at star rankings versus NFL draft performance and found that players...

I e-mailed the ticket office today about the width of the chairback seats as well as the width of the bench "seats". Here is the reply I recieved: The width of a seat in the chairback section is 16.5 inches. The width of a “seat” in the bench sections are 19 inches. These are wider than the...

Gophers lose 3 schollies this season due to APR score From the ESPN B10 Blog: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/bigten/0-3-342/Gophers-lose-three-scholies-after-low-APR-score.html And before someone goes off and blames this on all Brewster, this is a multiyear score (4 year avg) not a year by year...

I know some folks have been asking how other B10 schools distribute/enforce student tickets. It looks like PSU just changed their policy when it comes to matching tickets to students. Key section: TICKET RESALE POLICY 4. The season ticket process is intended solely for Penn State students who...

Mark Beech at CNNSI has an article out about the rebuilding job facing Doug Marrone, the new Syracuse HC. Nothing too earth shattering in there...reinforces the point to me that this is an essential win given where we expect our program to be this season, especially given our improved SOS...

Per CNNSI, starting a Facebook group like "Rodney Williams, PLEASE come to Minnesota" is a recruiting violation. The NCAA feels that this sort of fan support is "an attempt to influence the college choice of a recruit" and is therefore a violation. Quick summary. NCAA = Epic Fail. Who would...

Was reading the ESPN blog and came across this story: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/bigten/0-3-149/Illinois--NU-need-your-help-to-choose-trophy.html. Apparently as part of the move away from any Native American imagery, etc. the Illini and Wildcats will no longer play for the Sweet Souix Tomahawk...
