So just get on Fort Snelling and go to Viking Stadium ..... Get off at the Viking Stadium and catch a train to TCF. If we want to go to Game Day we get off at East Bank Stop. Again we are not from here so if it sounds like it should be obvious ... it is not. How far of a walk is it to the...

Got an early Christmas present from my son tonight. Tickets to the Gopher/Badger game. We haven't been to a game in six or seven years. We used to get on the train at Fort Snelling and then get on a Bus part way through the trip. My family didn't know if it was the same process as it was...

I was very indecisive when I was 18. Depended who talked to me last that sometimes left the strongest impression. If he was in Iowa for the game this week ... the atmosphere and excitement might have been enough to convince him. We have lost a lot of players over the years to Iowa. I don't...

I am super happy that the Gophers are on a roll and getting national exposure. However, I think you do have to be the right kind of recruit to fit in with Fleck. Fleck comes with a package and the kids he gets will have to be the kind that buy into that culture.

Surprised this Gopher success hasn't spread a bit more to the locals.

If we tackle well and maintain gap integrity I think we can win. If we tackle like they revert to on occasion and allow Taylor to cut back ... then I think we have a rough time with the Badgers. I think this game lies in the hands of the defense ... if they step up Gophers could win.

I’m pretty sure it is head and shoulder injuries that they are trying to prevent. Still love that tackle with the arms wrapped around the legs.

I was a coach for more years than I can remember right now and I hate the way they teach tackling. They hit and roll or just hit with the shoulder with no wrap. I talked to our HS coach who used to coach in college. I was talking about putting the head across the body/wrapping up. He said...

Seth Green has been such a weapon. I wonder if they are grooming someone else to do the same thing once Green is gone? Then will other teams imitate the Gophers in this model seeing they have been so successful with it?

One thing I never hear the analysts or announcers talk about is how the Big Ten is usually at a disadvantage in bowl games. Most of the games are played out west or down south. Usually a pretty short distance for the southern or western teams but a long distance for the Big Ten fans. So...

I have always heard that no win in a bad win. However, when determining who goes to the top bowl games "Bad Wins" should factor in. Every year there are teams that squeak by teams they should just pound. I think that should be part of the consideration when choosing the top four. Notre...

I was surprised to see Wisconsin going for the score with 13 seconds left in the game instead of taking a knee. Wonder if there is some bad blood between those teams. I know some of you would never root for Wisconsin but I always root for all Big Ten teams during Bowl Season.

With these a number of good prospects on the D-Line coming in it got me wondering whatever happened to that kid that got limited playtime but when he did he got a sack. Sorry ... I am always terrible at remembering names. It was something like 4 plays and 3 sacks. Plus I think he caused...

I know we are celebrating the Gophers win against Wis. tonight. A couple things. I was actually at a movie and thought I recorded the game to watch later. It turned out the DVR did not record it. Is there a later time in the week that it will be played again? Here are just the post season...

What was the take away in the post game press conference besides the normal cliches?

I think it is a trend in higher level football and that seems that nobody wraps the runner or receiver up anymore. They just come in with the shoulder. It the runner is strong or as good balance they either don't go down at all or gain enough extra yards for the first down. I noticed it a lot...

Don't know if someone else has one of these going ... if so my bad. I enjoy coming here and reading all the news and opinions. Merry Christmas to all the Gophers fans. Hopefully a very Happy New Year for Gopher Football!

If someone has that list that would be great. Are there impact players in that crew?

Watching in fast mode on DVR ... Don’t know if I have seen so many toss sweeps since Jr. High. They were too easy. We were just being driven off the line. That needs to be fixed or we are going to see a lot more of it.

Just wondering ... Did Nelson ever land in an NFL camp?
