I knew after the game on Saturday that I wouldn't have to read anything about the Gophers from Reusse because he NEVER writes about them when they win. Also, have you ever read a negative article from him about the Vikings, Twins, Wild, T-Wolves, (insert any local pro-team)? I also love the...

I just sent Souhan an email....what a hack job. Only in Minnesota would a coach be raked over the coals after beating a team that nobody thought he would.

Matt Simon needs to be handed the play-calling duties, plain and simple.

Well thought out response. I will try to be more tolerant of the new drum major and apologies to any I offended.

You’re right, sorry.

1. You are correct, it is a "mace". Not all Drum Major's carry one, some carry battons. 2. I can't remember if I criticized the Drum Major's between 2013 and 2017 and I don't see the connection between that and this discussion. 3. I'm sure the qualifications HAVE changed, but if they did, they...

It depends on the overall sound that you are after. The OSU band has always had a tradition of being all brass and percussion. Their sound is VERY clean, as is their marching. Personally, I love their sound and their look, they are very precise and disciplined, their lines and diagonals on...

Well, I was a music major and rank lieutenant of A-rank (front t-bone rank) in the U Band in 1968, 69, and 70. I had the privilege of marching behind one of the GREAT D. M's. of all-time, Jim Mitchell. I also knew and saw Dick Johnson quite well (Dick was the D.M in the "62 Rose Bowl). I've...

Then don’t have her twirl at all, have her focus on what she’s good at. And yes any Drum Major who drops their batton 8 times in 5 minutes is definitely not Big 10 material.

It appears that he knew the rule but was told by the officials that the clock was dead until the next play had started.

As a former band member I am pretty disappointed in this year’s version, especially the drum major. Against OSU we watched her toss the batton over the goal post and not even come close to catching it. Last week during halftime of Band Day I counted 8 batton drops in 5 minutes. I can’t imagine...

he should have no problem passing against our secondary. Colorado 42 - Minnesota 28

I'm just happy we have a coach that other schools want. This is what having a successful coach looks like. There will always be speculation. How many times has Kirk Ferentz's name popped up over the years in various NFL and College search situations? Quite a few. The alternative is to have...

Maryland @ Illinois MARYLAND Michigan state @ Miami FL MSU SHOWS HOW BAD MIAMI REALLY IS (MSU BY 21) Nebraska @ Oklahoma OK 84 - 13 Cincinnati @ Indiana CINCINNATI IN A CLOSE ONE Northern Illinois @ Michigan NORTHERN IN AN UPSET Minnesota @ Colorado COLORADO Gopher D gives up a bunch and...

yes

This assessment is spot-on regarding the Gophers. This is a game that we should win going away, but historically have struggled with. I would love to see us build up a big half-time lead and play some of the 2nd and 3rd teamer's. Everytime I've said this in the past, we find ourselves in a...

I'm going with 42K announced crowd and probably 38K actually in the Bank. Should be more with a beautiful day in store for college football, but it's Minnesota. One of my daughters picked up 3 tickets through the U ticket website yesterday and paid only $38/ticket. That's a pretty good deal...

Vikings a Lock for Super Bowl after Successful Pre-Season!

I can remember a Tracy Claeys coached Gopher team had something like 6 or 7 targeting penalties against NW one year and Claeys got a "talking to" by a very upset Pat Fitzgerald during the post-game non-handshake. Fitz clearly felt that Claeys had done nothing to discourage the Gopher players...

I went to school with most of them. Ron King was from Chatfield, MN which always played against my home town of Preston. Barry Mayer was a GREAT running back that lived across from me in Territorial Hall in 1968. He was from North Dakota and was drafted by the Packers. Bobby Morgan played QB...
