I was just in Madison this past weekend for my daughter's graduation. She had a great 4 years there and is already filled with memories, as any college grad would be. She has always known to address me with respect over the whole sports rivalry thing and has never trash talked or purchased a red...

For the upcoming season, when do tickets for road games go on sale through the Gopher ticket office - for purchase by season ticket holders??

I have been around here for so long, and I am just boring enough - That I can't remember if I have called this out before. Oh well, if so... apologies and perhaps a new discussion on announcers this off season will be fun anyway. I have my favorites and quite frankly it is easier for me to...

Gustavus (currently ranked 7th nationally) with a record of 26-2 is hosting the first two rounds of their NCAA regional this upcoming Friday/Saturday. They are the only MIAC team to make the tourney this year (WIAC has FOUR) and they open with Bethany Lutheran out of Mankato. Bethany is only...

I think a lot about the 2018 season. The Gophers were coming off a shaky 2017 as Fleck's year 0 and had faded, followed by some rough outings in 2018 where I said to myself it might be time to admit Fleck isn't going to work out. But, Along came an upset of Purdue on a very cold semi-snowy day...

Change is hard. I get that. There was a certain “coziness” about the bowl system where only two or four teams had to prepare for the games of their lives. We will lose that coziness. The bowl system and even conference championships seem to be on borrowed time. I will definitely miss the days...

I brought this up at the start of the season and I will do the same at its conclusion. I have seen a marked improvement in the student section in recent years in terms of size and participation. I was getting worried in the Coach Kill years as the Brewster regime and/or the move to campus...

It looks like yet another great home game weather day headed our way this week. The long range forecasts are usually all over the board but once you get to midweek it feels like you can lock it in a bit. So, if all goes according to the current forecast, we should see... cloudy - making the...

I figured Fitz would always be a concern so I was pretty relieved when he... well... when he was relieved. But somehow Northwestern keeps lurking around. I thought they were dead, only to watch them do the big comeback and provide PJ with arguably his worst B1G loss. Northwestern promptly fell...

Lots of excitement over the satisfying win over ranked Nebraska on Friday. But one milestone reached with that win that may have escaped many people: The win marked the win balance with Nebraska since the infamous 13-84 drubbing heard 'round the world in 1983. Counting that loss and Friday's...

It just felt different in the stadium Friday night. Nearly from the opening kickoff, you could just feel it. It now ranks among a handful of games where the atmosphere in the stadium reached a special level. That place gets electric and when it does, I wouldn't trade it for anywhere else...

Taylor playing?

I've rewatched the most recent game a couple times and it is no different in terms of how I often come away with different conclusions than I do being at the game in section 135 where every play on the west side of the field is a loooooong way from me. The thing that stood out to me most for...

Anyone going to this week's game? I have great memories from the one and only time I have watched the Gophers in Columbus. Soooooo many kind words from Buckeye fans and one dude in particular flagged me down in an elevator to talk about old Gopher Greats from eras-gone-by. Super nice people. If...

For a team at the Gopher's talent level, beating Ohio State is certainly unlikely, but not impossible. My anger level increases when coaches (or even fans) act like it is impossible. I realize that fans don't have a direct impact on the game but I have already seen one suggestion that the...

I don't see it happening, but I'm curious what others would predict in terms of Taylor playing this week. fourth choice SHOULD be 36%-50%. It won't let me fix it.

Teams and programs rise and fall all the time. Someone gets the right coach or AD and it becomes a moment in time where they have different fortunes before and after that event. NIL seems to have created a similar moment in time all over the country for basketball and football programs. It...

The backup QB goes 4/5 for 80 yards and a TD, building a QBR of 98.1, surpassing Drake Lindsey. Do we have a quarterback controversy?

2019 was a fun ride. But given all the early season drama, it very easily could have been a 7-5 or 8-4 type year. CrAB doesn't make that 4th down catch against Fresno State? Douglas doesn't show up HUGE deep in Gopher territory as the game clock was expiring against Southern Georgia? Even a...

The University of Minnesota marching band deserves better than the sunken, sound-challenged current band pit in Huntington Bank Stadium. I know on paper it seemed like a great idea. A dedicated spot for the band that created room for fans seated behind the band to still easily see the field...
