    A 90-year-old super fan Louise Quam shares her love for the Golden Gophers

    Great story—it was a touching moment at halftime when Ms. Quam was honored—good for the AD and the athletic department. I go to a couple T-wolves games a year. Their listing of longtime season ticket holders to recognize their support is a commitment to fan relations. I always look at the...

    Sign right here if you love the Duke choke!

    Remembering the 2002 Final Four at the Metrodome and sitting behind some kid wearing an Illinois license plate saying “DUKE” gyrating with obsessive love for his “Coach K”. I hope he’s miserable.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Clem was candid about missing out on Troy Bell but he was the exception to the rule from 1986-1999. Clem started “plus 1” in the Minnesota recruiting category having brought Brett McNeal to Western Kentucky. With a free transfer rule McNeal wouid have been hugely helpful to the 1986-1987...

    Fran McCaffery To Coach Penn!

    Jefferson is Gone

    Always makes me appreciate Clem’s ability to convince Burton; Shik and Newbern to stay as Dutcher recruits. I imagine even in 1986 their Letters of Intent were no longer binding with the coaching change.

    Folks, it wasn't Patino, it is Pitino; it's not Nico, it's Niko and it definitely wasn't Munson

    Actual (deeply embarrassing) situation: honoring Sandy Stephens as “Sandy Stevens” on the tickets for the game.

    Dan Monson era

    Never want to overemphasis any given win or loss in a coach’s tenure but Coach Monson had a chance to stay on schedule making the NCAA tournament in his third year. A victory at the Barn in the season finale against Illinois wouid have likely sealed the deal but instead a nine point lead with...

    Official 2027 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    Bruce Smith’s father (who was a Gopher football player 1914-1916?) was a lawyer in Faribault who practiced until late in life. Kindly opposing counsel introduced me to Lucius in the Rice County Courthouse. I was tongue-tied with emotion. All I could blather was something like “your family has...

    Some times the better team/competitor falls to the superior game plan plan perfectly executed. It happened to Gable.

    Favorite Friday = Who is Your favorite Gophers running back?

    Gary Couch: with all tailbacks injured by the fourth quarter of the season finale against Iowa, Holtz insets his true frosh flanker into the game as a tailback and he scores the winning touchdown on a Foggie pitch-out—and he’s from Davenport! The fan mix must have been about 40,000 to 20,000...

    Favorite Friday = Who is Your favorite Gophers running back?

    The picture of Marion in action was the last home game of the 1978 season and Cal Stoll’s last home game. Paul Giel would fire Cal after the Wisconsin game. I remember it was a cold, grey day after an overnight snow fall and my dad commenting the 30,000 or so people in Memorial Stadium were...
