    2011 Schedule

    Seven bowl teams + USC. Current AP 4, 7, 17, 30, and 36. Four New Year's day bowl teams. Two of three Big Ten co-champions and the Big 12 runner up. Fortunately no Ohio State or PSU - a miss that will only happen on average 20% of the time. Is this the toughest schedule in recent memory?

    AD Revenue

    Saw this list on a badger board. The U is in pretty good shape. Right behind Arkansas, USC, Oregon, and Florida State. Revenues should not be an excuse. It would be interesting to see however where the money is spent in this group...

    Twin Cities Bowl Game

    Could it happen? With light rail connecting downtown, Mall of America, and the airport could we host a bowl game like the little ceasar's bowl? If the Vikings built a new stadium where the dome is and it was domed with skyway access to downtown and the train could we make it work? Discuss...

    Stay Positive

    If I ask you if it is raining outside your answer says more about what's outside than it says about you. If I ask you if it's a nice day outside you answer says more about you than about conditions outside. I'm going to CHOOSE to remain optimistic about coach Kill. It is a choice.

    Harbaugh

    From Rittenburg "The situation swirling around Rodriguez's status might turn into a circus at the team's banquet Thursday night because Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh plans to be there to be honored along with his 1985 teammates. Harbaugh said Saturday night there's a "75-percent chance" he will...

    Donation Levels - Updated

    I have written before on this site that I believe that the required donation levels at TCF compare unfavorably to Wisconsin. I've learned from the Badger boards that UW will be raising their required donation levels frollowing the season. Below is a summary of the other donation levels in the...

    Seat Premiums

    I've mentioned before that UW seats on the 50 yard line carry a $250 / seat donation requirement. The same seats at TCF require a $500 / seat donation.

    What to say when people say, 'They lost to South Dakota?'

    I thought we could help each other out by preparing some responses to the inevitable water cooler question we'll get tomorrow from people who know we have season tickets. I'll go first. 'Hey, Soth Dakota has just as many Senators as Nebraska!'

    End of season rivals

    Hopefully this is a scheduling quirk. Two teams play cross division rivals NW/IL and OSU/MI. Two others play traditional/proximate rivals from their division IN/PUR and NU/IA. Leaving the remaining WI/PSU and MN/MSU. PSU can't play MSU that weekend because they won't play them every year...

    Divisions - Delany comment - Won't be geographic

    Apologize if this was already posted but I didn't see it. “We didn't think there's any way we could achieve principle one and two if we were rigid about geographic contiguity,” Delany said. “We are aware of geography, but we're not going to be driven by it.”...

    One thing we should all be excited about...

    The Gophers never beat Ohio State or Michigan in the dome. While we opened TCF last year, we have not fully opened it until everyone has played here. Our first game against either of these two at TCF is against Ohio State on Saturday, October 30th, under the lights, on national TV. Time to...

    Alignment Link

    Per Illinois' Ron Guenther it will be in part based on a ten year audit. http://www.illinihq.com/news/football/2010/07/14/tate_on_big_ten_realignment 19 more conference wins in the east, 11 of which come from OSU being 11 wins better than ANY of the other 'big six'. I still say split it by...

    Best public parking on east bank

    I have 4 seats and parking in Ski-U-Mah. Wondering if I'm going to meet people at my spot for a tailgate what are the best options for them to get there (other than riding with me)? On campus park at the flats? Coming from east park at fair and ride the bus? Do they need a ticket to board...

    Any Worries...

    ...that if the Big Ten goes to 14 or 16 that they might eventually split apart leaving us in the west holding the bag with Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Northwestern, and Illinois? And a lousy TV contract. While the east has Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame...

    MN - WI - IA

    Killing some time I wondered if exceptional season results typically accompany winning the MN/WI/IA round robin each year. The average wins when a team has swept are between 8 and 9. 24 times a team has won this round robin since 1980. 21 times they've gone bowling. 13 are current new years...
