    Whatever happened to the Bronko Statue?

    Is it just in Storage? If so they aught to mount it outside the stadium. If there ever was a more notable football legend at the U it wouldbe him and probably Bierman.

    Three possiblities for the "Liberty Bell"

    1. As only PSU wins were vacated, the official game that counts is the one we last won. The Bell comes to Minnesota. 2. The win/loss plate is removed and we start all over. 3. The Bell is scraped as a bad idea.

    Probably wouldn't be possible again against Iowa but how about this

    Back in the 50's when working in Iowa a Iowa fan told me about what happened in the late 30's when Mn played at Iowa. On game day Saturday when the fans came into the Stadium they saw "Minnesota" spelled on the field in dark green grass. Apparently some one earlier in the week got onto the...

    Tuesday is Minnesota day on the Big Ten Network

    This may be old news but its the first time I saw the announcement on the network. The guide data on Dirct TV only shows a MN Wisc BB game so far but the whole day will have MN shows and/or games.

    Where is David Gibbs?

    I just finished watching the 1999 MN - Penn State game, a thriller we won in the last minute. David, 31 years old at the time, was a very colorfull but in my estimation and one of the better D Cord we have had. I hated to see him leave but haven't followed his career. Anyone help me out on this?

    any info on young Barber?

    When Marion was playing, I heard his Dad say that their youngest son, at that time in 8th grade, was actually the best athelete at that age of any of his sons. He must be in High School now. How is he doing??

    Just an observation!

    I kept 3 of the Gopher football games on my tivo to watch over and over this winter (yes they were the three we won). Just watched the Miami Ohio game and caused me to remember Kills statement during his first interview. "i don't make predictions of won or losses but I ensure you that we will...

    What a terrible loss for Gopher BB

    My great sadness for our brothers and sisters on the BB forum. The loss of their star (by far) player will have a huge impact on how well the team wll do this year.

    Kill's and his coaching staff

    I have seen in person many football practices from a number of coaches and their staffs and I would have to say that Kill and his staff do a better job than most. Especially in teaching fundamentals and the mental aspects of the game. Just what most young freshman directly from High School...

    Remember what Kill first said

    When he took the job and was asked what the first years record would be. "I don't predict wins or losses but I will tell you one thing, We will be a better football team at the end of the year than at the first." We are only half way through.

    Understand what is going on right now

    I was at the Michigan game, and saw things that the TV tube doesn't show. I watched the sidelines and the activity there. Kill played every player he brought on the plane (I may have missed one or two). He was evaluating each player to find out which ones are the ones he ll work with to build...

    ARE WE TRYING TO SUPPORT TO MANY SPORT PROGRAMS?

    ARE WE TRYING TO SUPPORT TO MANY SPORT PROGRAMS?? My thoughts. We have 3 sport programs that bring more money in than they use. The other (22) all are supported by these 3. You know the 3. What is happening is that these 3, are in my estimation, in trouble and now have a decreasing or...

    Kill show on FSN Tonight

    To those who don't know -. FSN every Wednesday night (started last week) has "Gopher Undercover" usually right after the TWINS post game show. Tonight it is posted for 9:30, but usually varies due to TWINS game length. I understand that they run "reruns" during the week.

    My take on Kills recruiting

    So far not to many "star" commits, but why? At Northern Ill. he had to and found kids who had undeveloped talent and then developed them. Kids who already had shown developed talent (usually at big time high schools) were the ones who received offers from big time U's. At northern he...

    Question

    The answer may be only an opinion but how was the gophers able to beat Illinois and Iowa after Brewster left, using the same players and coaches? What was missing when Brewster was coach or what was added when he left? Could we be so optimistic that with the right coaching our present players...

    Student Tailgating

    I understand that one block of Oak Street in front of Mariucci Area has now been approved for student tail gating (and will be closed) before home football games. Not clear yet whether it will be closed during or after the game.
