I've had late night meetings all week or I might have commented earlier, but here is one fan's assessment of the situation: 1) I see no panic with BB gone. Some folks are really pissed and turned on him like a spurned spouse. More rational posters/fans will state that he was a good coach...

Iowa staying home must make it all the sweeter. Any idea of which bowl?

Given the deer-f**king obsession on this board, I can't believe no one jumped on this one (if you'll pardon the expression). http://www.twincities.com/ci_21758995 Now, at least they used a condom for the goat, but given that it was dead, it seems like over-kill. Thank goodness, gophers and...

I can't find the thread, but I remember posting about why more attention was being paid to PSU than the Syracuse situation. While that may have been true at the time - and the extent of the Syracuse cover-up, if any, isn't known - this article about a phone call between the abused kid (now 39)...

First off, it's so nice to have to ask what the weather forecast is before traveling to Minnesota for a college football game! I clearly recall watching games in the snow at Memorial Stadium (although the cold factor has probably dimmed over the years). Is there snow on the ground up there...

As a public service, I am providing a link to what remains of the epic ChinaGopher report of physical assault, pools of blood, mysterious escapes, and chairlegs in eye sockets. To this day, the original thread was one of the funniest things I have ever read on the net. Enjoy...

That was a great comeback win! Have fun celebrating a Halloween weekend with a win. Did the weather play a factor in the two missed FG by Iowa in the 1Q or did the guy just miss? Oh, and I think Floyd's gotten used to having that trophy case to himself, so you wouldn't want to scare him with...

A local charity I am involved in has an annual Tailgate fundraiser for one of UW's away games. The Minnesota game looks like it will work out the best, assuming it is not at night (11a or 2:30 work well). Is there a chance this game would be at night or do you think we are safe with a day...

My boss' son is planning to try to walk-on as a kicker for the Gophers. He will be a freshman next fall and was a pretty decent HS kicker (I think his longest field goal was 45 or 47 yards) and has attended various camps on kicking. I believe he has sent film to the Gopher staff. What are the...

Compared to MSU fans, Minnesota fans - even while suffering through the Punky Brewster era - are, for the most part, models of rationality. If you visit the RCMB, you will find posters recommending that MSU refuse a Cap One bid, add to an e-mail blast to change the Big 10 and/or BCS selection...

As a buddy of mine says, when you win, the food tastes better, the beer is colder, and the girls are prettier. Nice way to end the season!

I frequently read here that the new coach will have more to work with than Brewster did when he came on. As an outsider, I don't understand this. Mason's teams were always competitive and, since his firing was fairly sudden, it isn't like he quit recruiting. Brewster, on the other hand, had a...

Column in Wisconsin State Journal on importance of athletics to the University. I honestly think the administration and faculty have to support this view for Minnesota to take it to the next level. From the article, quoting Vince Sweeney, Vice Chancellor for University Relations:

Pack your sunscreen - beautiful day on tap. Fans at Camp Randall Stadium might need sunblock and cool drinks on Saturday during the Homecoming game between Wisconsin and Minnesota, with the high expected to reach 79 under mostly sunny skies.

Has it been five years already? "Credit the debit in your checkbook" I believe the Gopher Hole is the custodian of the Essen Haus thread. Post it here and I will link to Buckyville.

Berkeley drops baseball, men's and women's gymnastics, women's lacrosse, and reduces their championship rugby team to a "varsity sport" without school financial support. Link Baseball alumns react

If so, who will get the protected rivalry with Iowa? Wisconsin sportwriters say Wisc, but I would say MN, since OSU gets MI. Then again, maybe we're all reading the tea leaves incorrectly. Link

I read a recent quote from someone (don't ask me who, I read too many of these things) that the Badgers could expect to have either Iowa or Minnesota in the same division, but not both. If this is true, I would expect Wisconsin and Minnesota to be in the same conference with Iowa-Minnesota as a...
