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...

The context of "bad losses" here is not games where the Gophers played a tough opponent and got blown out when playing poorly on top of being an underdog. I'm simply referring to games against bad opponents that the Gophers had no business losing, but did. So, games like the 2019 matchup with...

I spend my share of time on Threads, Twitter, Tik Tok etc. etc. and of course any 13 year old can publish a flashy "Ranking the B1G helmets" post, or rank the teams for the upcoming season. I am annually amazed at how it is rinse, repeat with putting the Gophers somewhere beyond the #10...

I wasn’t sure where to post this as it isn’t specific to football but it does include football. When St. Thomas went to D1, I wondered if someone would fill the void in the MIAC. St. John’s, Bethel, and Gustavus seemed the most likely. St. John’s had the stellar football heritage and decent...

It's the offseason now and time for some hard hitting topics fit for this time of year. What was your favorite Gopher football loss in the current stadium? Losses all suck, but some suck less than others and after some, it doesn't feel like a sad refugee march to the parking lot. For me...

I’ve long witnessed how the preseason rankings are so heavy in SEC teams, that it becomes difficult for those teams to drop out of the rankings. Rank em high, let them blow through digestible non conference opponents, and then let them mostly maintain their rankings when they lose because any...

Why would you put FCS playoffs on network TV and bury D1 playoffs deep down the cable lineup on often-forgotten TNT? Is it because the FCS contract is older than the new big school playoff?

I have a short memory. Is this what Coyle did after the Michigan game? https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFKTPb16/

some thoughts regarding the new playoff structure... First, the background: 1. 12 teams, 4 with first round byes and 8 (4 first round winners and 4 that had first round byes) that play in the quarter final round. 2. first round is played at the home stadium of the higher seed. Seeds 5-12...

Out of all the issues with college football and all the challenges facing the game, LED blinking lights are waaaay down the list. But, they bug me and I’m concerned we may one day see some of the flashing BS in the Bank that we are now seeing in various stadiums (especially in the SEC). It...

If the Gophers win today it will have to be with a new left guard.

College football seems to be intent on packing more and more advertising into game broadcasts in some sort of evil experiment to see how much fans attending games can tolerate. They are even willing to reduce the amount of actual football played in exchange for more advertising time. That has...

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t this the 7th Gopher win in a row over PAC12 teams? And yes I am aware the PAC12 doesn’t exist and USC and UCLA are now in the B1G. You know what I mean. 2016 Oregon State 2016 Washington State 2017 Oregon State 2021 Colorado 2022 Colorado 2024 USC 2024 UCLA...

I must have a small amount of OCD because little things that are out of place bug me. One of the biggest problems from the construction of the "Bank" was the way they built the band pit to accommodate the band without their instruments. That little problem was discovered early on when the band...

…it sure does seem like there are some questionable calls in close games vs Ohio State and Michigan. 1. That time the Gophers were hanging with Ohio State and Leidner took a helmet crown right to his face on a pick 6 play. It was called right on the field but somehow was overturned on review...

Enjoy. I know many of you have been waiting for this.

I was really uncomfortable the entire second half and was really frustrated with my rodents. In the middle of all my sighing and complaining, my wife freaks out. She had just noticed the diamond from her 33 year old wedding ring was gone. Unbelievably, the thing was found under the seat of...

This isn’t specific to the football board, I’m assuming, but it is where I spend 90% of my GH time so I’ll post it here. I initially loved the change to the new technology a couple years ago especially when I visited on my phone, which was and is the tool of choice for 95% of my Gopherhole...
