It seems Daniel F. is our largest Gopher to date. Who ranks just below? Is it Wills? Pirsig? Aaron Gibson was huge for Becky. He would be up there. I remember when Minnesota played a directional Louisiana school in the late 90s. There was a guy named Arnold Jackson who was listed at 420...

There isn't much Gopher football action in the news, so I'm curious to see what others may think about our returning squad. Based on actual game experience, who are the top five returning Gopher football players. Here is my list 5)Shannon Brooks--Injuries have hampered him. I'll put him here...

I got another e-mail today reminding me that the early bird renewal process is coming to an end. I'm pretty certain I will renew, but will wait until close to the hard deadline. My donation tallies $1200 and I realize that renewing in 2017 may have been financially prudent. For me, I don't...

Will Detlef be making his annual plea for the missing sippy cup? He may feel pretty confident this year, even without his Grannies spell. I searched for the picture with the Gopher fan and the bag over his head along with the sippy cup. I couldn't find it. Any help? Sent from my...

As I look around the Big 10, I don't see a lot of teams that are on a downward trend. Illinois seems to be going nowhere fast, but I would say Minnesota has been better than them recently. For me, Nebraska appears to be the only team in the Big 10 continuing their downward trend. The coach...

We know Douglas started from the beginning and Umlor has played a bit too. I've heard Fleck mention Estes and recently Tanner Morgan as guys he thinks are progressing nicely. Any ideas at this point who the staff has seen as high potential guys? Any sleepers? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A...

With Carpenter and Santoso returning, we don't hear a lot about special teams. One thing that always was a concern for me during the Kill regime were kickoff and punt returns. It sure seems we had our fair share of blunders. I can't get the vision of Craig James being scared returning punts...

Okay, it's the offseason. As I was putting away some winter gear, I came across the plaid russian style winter hat that was a giveaway last year. That was pretty sweet. I think that's my favorite item that I've received at a Gopher game. The worst? A few years back, I took a sample of Wolf...

I'm late in my season ticket renewals as I usually wait until a couple days before deadline. I just got a call that I recognized but screening didn't identify the name. Sure enough, it was PJ saying there is one week left to renew and he's looking forward to meet my family. He told me to...

Forgive me if this has been posted, but I didn't see it. Rod Wallace, the long time Cannon Man from the Metrodome days has passed away. I know Mr. Wallace gave a lot of money to the University of Minnesota. The practice field was funded in large part by Wallace. Wallace was larger than...

http://hometownsource.com/2016/12/28/joe-nathan-column-thousands-of-friends-fans-urge-u-of-m-to-fire-football-coach/ Interesting google searches on the petition messenger. The above article was written recently by Joe Nathan. Odd he didn't disclose his previous relationship with Bitenc.

http://www.espn.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/140156/cfb-rank-the-big-tens-top-25-players-for-2016 No Gophers. I'm not surprised by that but some peculiar choices. Barkley is a weak top choice. I think McSorley was much better. I think Rodney must be borderline and Travis had to be considered.

With the regular season complete, what teams surprised you the most this year? Here is mine: 1) Michigan State. No way did I see this one coming. QB play didn't help but they were whooped on both lines. 2) Wisconsin. I thought they would be above average, but their defense is...

There is a rumor that the stein will be returned when the Slab of Bacon is returned. Can someone post the picture of our favorite Gopher with stein in hand? Was it Buck the Fadgers? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

I really like the way Coughlin is playing. He's starting to see the field a bit more and appears healed from his injury. When Coughlin came to the U of M, there was a debate on this board as to which position would fit his skillset. Is linebacker going to be Coughlin's long term position...

As Coyle approaches six months on the job, I'm curious to hear what Gopher fans think of his work. He's had some big issues with firing the wrestling coach, dialing back donations, and suspensions of football players. Coyle doesn't seem to be an attention grabber like Norwood. At the same time...

http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2016/09/74094/urban-meyer-opens-up-to-bleacher-report-about-mental-health I don't know a lot about Meyer but I've seen him written about with much scorn. This interview peels back the onion and he certainly let down his shield. I commend him. I...

I realize this is a football message board, but the Sports Show often talked Gopher football over the years. Will you be watching tomorrow night for the end of this era? Twenty years of this show is unbelievable. The production looked like it was made at Blooming Prairie public television...
