I can't speak to the first part, but I was at that bowl and it was at least 60% Gopher fans.

My biggest outstanding question is whether 1 or 2 teams (in addition to OSU in the playoff) go to NY6 bowls. Will wisc AND Penn State both make one of the big bowls (Rose and ???), or just one of them. If two go, everyone in the Big Ten moves up a level in the conference bowl partner pecking...

This is such a funny board. Many posters could not accept the we ARE co-divisional champs with wisconsin even though we lost the head-to-head. And many posters here are arguing that the head-to-head results with Iowa don't matter. The Gophers had a really poor game on the road vs Iowa and got...

I would agree that the Gophers are not at the on-field playing level that Iowa is. The W's and L's are the supporting evidence. My question is: Is Minnesota at Iowa's facilities level? Is Minnesota at Iowa's recruiting level? Is Minnesota at Iowa's coaching level? Is Minnesota at Iowa's fan...

WTexGopher, could you edit your original post to add the 2019 squad so we can compare and contrast easier? Thanks :-)

This is the thing I'm curious about too. Are the bowls bound to pick in the CFP order? Or in the order of overall record? Or do they have a lot of latitude?

I don't necessarily care who we play. I would love to see an 11th win and a top-25 ranking. The only way that at least one of these doesn't happen is if we play a non-ranked team and lose badly. So, I am hoping that we do not play an unranked team (Tennessee or Texas A&M).

Here's what I'm seeing: CollegeFootballNews: Citrus vs Auburn CBS Sports: Outback vs Florida ESPN (Bonagura): Outback vs. Tennessee ESPN (Schlabach): Outback vs Tennessee 247Sports: Citrus vs. Auburn SportingNews: Outback vs Auburn USA Today: Outback vs Texas A&M Of these, Tennessee is...

People are acting as if this was the easiest schedule of all times. We had the exact same crossovers (Penn St., Maryland & Rutgers) that we did in 2016. In none of the 3 previous years have we played more than one of the historically top East Division teams of Ohio State, Michigan and Penn...

If you go and look at Wikipedia and the Big Ten websites for 2011, 2015 and 2016, you'll see them showing division co-champions. That seems pretty official to me.

I know some of you won't, but I'll be interested to see the list of "most since" and "first since" after the bowl game. The Gophers will have one more opportunity to show that this was a special team/season.

Row the Boat. Ski-U-Mah. Go Gophers!

yup. Go Gophers!

...and how long have you been following this team?

It is a fact that we are division co-champions.

On a percentage basis, the Gophers 7 of 9 Big Ten victories puts them at over 75% winning in the conference. 1st time that high since 1973 - this is a relative number that should account for the additional games.

18 consecutive wins versus non-conference teams.

I've been a season ticket holder since moving to Minnesota at the end of 1998, so I was there for 1999 and 2003. My favorite team, though, is a year-an-a-half worth of teams. My Mom died suddenly in October 2013 and it was a hard time for me. That's when the Gophers went on a 4-game Big Ten...

I thought I saw something about a "Gold Out" about a week ago, but have seen nothing about it since. Does anyone know?

As a season-ticket holder since 1999, I have weathered a lot of rough years too. There are a lot of other "old-timers" that saw bad years dating back to the mid-70's. I'm not going to get into my feelings on history and past coaches. We all have our opinion on those topics and none of us are...
