If the Gophers were to lose (they won't), then we'd want Michigan to lose to OSU, otherwise the Wolverines would be tied with us at 10-2 and could jump us in the bowl pecking order.

Bob Dylan was (briefly) a U of M student. But since he didn't even show up to the Nobel Prize awards to get his Nobel Laureate, I'm not holding my breath.

A few thoughts: 1) I cannot ever remember seeing so many empty seats at camp randall as I saw on TV yesterday; 2) We heard earlier this week that the wisconsin ticket office returned 600-700 tickets. I have no idea of how this compared to other wisconsin years or to other teams return numbers...

How about Marge Gunderson (Fargo)?

Hayden Fox?

Sadly, I think poor weather probably hurts the Gophers more than the bad guys :-(

C'mon Purdue!

I think I've been to 4 or 5 Gopher games at Kinnick Stadium. I usually wear Maroon, as one of Iowa's colors is yellow. I see, however, that this Saturday's game is a "blackout" game. I think I'll wear my gold out of fear that my Maroon will appear to blend in with the black of the home team...

I keep my photos pretty well organized on my computer. I went through and found pictures of me and my wife involved in field-storming for the following games at TCF Bank Stadium: 10/29/11 - victory over an unranked Iowa 10/26/13 - victory over #21 Nebraska (the Gophers had lost 16 straight to...

It is always my goal to get settled into my seat at least 25 minutes prior to kickoff in order to see the band's pregame show. At a typical game, that means getting in line for security at least 45 minutes before kickoff. However, cold weather games add another 10-15 minutes to the line - as...

In the pre-division days of the Big Ten, there were frequently two or three co-champions. Heck, in 1990, there were 4. Usually, there was one perceived champion. For example, in 2008 Penn State and Ohio State both went 7-1 in conference play, but Penn State beat Ohio State in head-to-head...

I had to look it up. During Lovie's tenure, the Illini are 3-20 versus the Big Ten. Those 3 wins came against teams that were a combined 1-22 in the B1G ('16 Rutgers 0-9, '16 MSU 1-8, '18 Rutgers 0-5). Their 8 wins (out of 32 games) included 2 over FCS teams. If you exclude those, their 6...

I will be posting all of the official Holiday Bowl activities planned by the Bowl and the University of Minnesota. I'm going to start with what I know and add to it as I go. If knows of additional activities, please respond in the thread and then I will edit this first post to keep all of the...

I was scraping ice off of my seat when they were introducing the "seniors" and didn't pay close attention. Before the game, I had heard they would be honoring 20; that would be 13 seniors and 7 non-seniors. Among the non-seniors I know of, one was Conor Rhoda (discussed in another thread)...

So you're telling me there's a chance?

Offensive Player of the Week Rodney Smith, Minnesota So., RB, Jonesboro, Ga./Mundy’s Mill •Recorded 257 all-purpose yards against Rutgers, the most by a Gopher since Troy Stoudermire had 290 against Iowa on Nov. 22, 2008 •Rushed for 111 yards on 22 carries, including a touchdown, and caught...

I've spent as much time as anyone looking at the possibilities of going to a bowl with a 5-7 record. Based on everything I know and everything I think I know, I would put the chances of this happening at somewhere between 20% an 35%. Curious about Gopherhole's collective opinion on whether...

Two weeks ago, I saw an article about Nebraska's chances of making a bowl game at 5-7. No I find this one from last week about Indiana. It would seem that the same would apply to us...

Now that I posted a depressing stat about our record against teams finishing the season in the Top-25 (1-49 since 2000), I will look at the half-full aspect of the glass. Kill's first year (2011) had a bone-headed loss to New Mexico State, a loss to an NDSU team that went 14-1 and a trouncing...

I am not trying to be a defeatist or an apologist, but I think people need to remember who this team has been: Since the 2000 season, the Gophers are: 1-49 :eek: against teams that finished the season in the Top-25. The lone win was the home victory against Nebraska in2013 (who finished the...
