Official "Bought first time seats, upgraded seats or parking, or added seats thread"
Thought I'd start a thread for those who purchased for the first time, upgraded seats or parking, or added incremental seats. Sharing information might be helpful for people to make sure they don't get missed...
Has anyone heard any news about the new points regimen? I logged into gophersports the other day and I can no longer access a detailed view of my football points. Someone please let me know if there remains a way to see this. Thanks.
I'm usually in Ski-U-Mah but my tailgate party collapsed this week so it will be just me and one of my buddies. I have never checked out the bar scene before a game but intend to this weekend. Can anyone provide any recomendations? We'll still be parking in Ski-U-Mah.
In Madison, I was a big...
Is this a first?

Ohio State & Penn State are ineligible for the rankings because they are banned from the postseason. Five teams are in the 'others receiving votes'.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
Update: It is a first per Rittenberg/Bennet...
Does anyone know if they ever worked out the in stadium radio delay? Do you still need to buy a headset? Is it broadcast over an alternate frequency like the sound at Vali Hi drive in?
Also, does anyone know if you can stream games over Comcast or a Big Ten to Go app?
Beer Sales
Has anyone heard any details on the beer sales for Saturday? Are they in fact in the west end zone in a gated beer garden? The only thin I've heard for sure is that you can return to your seats.
how good might the bowl assignment be? This is not a thread to debate the likelihood of getting to seven wins. I'm interested in the opinions of those who really know this stuff.
- Finding the seven most likely wins on the schedule,
- Taking into consideration the likely order of finish with...
I'm on vacation in Australia and just saw a commercial for this,

Thought GH'ers would get a kick out of it (pun intended).

College football fans will always remember "Run Lindsay Run!". Look it up on YouTube if you are unfamiliar with it. If you ever listened to him you'd never guess he was from the cities...
Just got a message from the U that said well be able to listen to Gameday radio at TCF with no delay on FM 100. Someone smarter than me can explain how this works but good news nonetheless!

This doesn't have much to do with the Gophers but I laughed out loud when I saw that they are going to have six regional networks (Wash, Oregon, NoCal, SoCal, AZ, & Mountain). During conference...
Has it ever been this bad? FIU, FSU, Alabama, UCF, Memphis, New Mexico, USC, Georgia Tech, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State
Coming soon: Boise State, North Carolina, Oregon
Is it the internet revealing more of it? The dollars getting bigger?
Interesting link.
The two things I take from this,
1. You can be a Wisconsin or Iowa (play regularly on January 1 and win your conference once a decade) without becoming a top 25 recruiting school
2. You likely will not play for national championships if you aren't a top 15 recruting school...
"There was more work in the offseason, that's for sure," said Pelini. "We always spend some time [watching tape of] new opponents -- we just had a lot more to do this year. But we were fairly selective, how we went about it. You don't have to watch every single game to know who people are, just...
Once again, assuming two BCS games, six B10 teams will play on or after January 2nd. Nine will play overall (if eligible).

For the six Jan. 2nd or later games I like,
Wisconsin, Nebraska, Penn State, Michigan...
Who should they play?
News releases say that there are 20 B10 games a season leaving 14 non-conference games.
My preference:
Play one series every year rotating home/away: UND, UMD, SCSU (home & home) - 6 games
Play a Denver invitational every year - Minnesota, Wisconsin, CC, Denver play in...
