Drake won their first round (quarterfinal) game today against Southern Illinois. 70-53 in St. Louis ("Arch Madness"). Could be seeing the next Gopher Coach on their bench.

Normally, I don't think about Indiana football very much. Especially since the Gophers hardly ever play them any more. But....... they are a Big Ten/Eighteen team. And I really don't like the whole overall Notre Dame football thing. SO..... here is to the Hoosiers kicking some in-state butt...

The coaching staffs know each other pretty well. In our favor, we should be ready to defend the RPO pretty well. Don't let Athan get any running lanes! We may be catching Rutgers at an opportune time with defensive starters injured, Would like to see an old fashioned Taylor-Major grind them...

I probably speak for many here. I used to be a *huge* Gopher basketball fan. Season tickets all six years 1978-1984 I was there, and then following them avidly from points south since 1984. Not much anymore. With the Hawkins news I hardly can get myself to care, other than just being...

Getting a little giddy with the so-fun success so far this season. Would this next game not be a real good time for a full-fledged Frantrum? He is due for one this year, and I think the Gophers are just the team to give him the excuse!

Playing the Illini always reminds me of the 1977 year. Best described as the "Kent Kitzmann game" when the Gophers ran him up, down, and through the Illini. Because Cal Stoll felt that the Illini could not counter him/stop him. And here is the Wikipedia entry: Kent Kitzmann is a former...

Question for Board members. In many many ways, 2023 has been a frustrating season. Well, it certanly felt that way to me after the Michigan game. BUT........is this now a successful season? I mean, beating Iowa gets that losing streak "monkey" off of Fleck's back, and feels very sweet...

I am inferring we do have a game with Ball State. With the Missouri game addition, do we only need one more game to complete the year's schedule?

Is it just me, or does the title of our Bowl Game this year (Bad Boys Mower Pinstripe Bowl) come across almost as stupid as the old Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl? I guess it could be worse, we could be playing in the Jimmy Kimmel Bowl.......

The lack of news on Bowl Game opt-outs is very very heartening. Let's hope for a great Pinstripe Bowl. And nothing against "Cuse, but something like a 27-10 victory would turn out to be a nice Christmas week present......

2nd team all Big Ten, both coaches and media.........

IF...... 1) we beat Iowa (yea!) 2) then lose to Wiscy and then lose whatever Bowl game we are in, to finish 8-5. Is that representing a successful season? I would vote yes. Because of 1)

New Bowl Projections are out, based on yesterday's slate of games. Jerry Palm STILL has us going to the Pinstripe Bowl in NYC. Essentially, that means he is predicting that we would lose to both Iowa and to Wisconsin, and fall behind them and behind Purdue and Illinois in the overall...

Wikipedia reports that we are 34-25-2 all-time against Nebraska. We have won the last three meetings. Hopefully we can extend the streak on Saturday.

I beleive that I heard that the team was leaving tomorrow (23rd) for Phoenix and would have practices there afterward. Can anyone confirm this departure date? 6 days until gametime! Beat W VA!

I think I've seen that Wayne is still around once in awhile. I am stealing one of his old thread titles from many years ago. Beat the stinkin' Badger! We CAN do this!

I confess that I do not know much about them this year. Two victories over PSU and Nebraska. So.... cannot be a totally crappy team by any means. But their Coach.......... and Old "friend" of ours, he personifies the Wikipedia entry under "asshole coach". Anyone have any special Illini...

This worked well last week for Wiscy-Purdue. Thread for actual predictions of our Chief rival's game. I'll go with Hawkeye 17 Becky 13.

Anyone else care to chime in on this thread? I guess I predict Wisconsin will pull Purdue back down to earth, and win by a score of like 23-21. As a Gopher fan, I could wish that both teams lose......

Does anyoen remember Cal Luther? He (briefly) was coach after George Hanson was fired in very early 70s. Was in Twin Cities like 4 days, changed his mind, went back to his old job with college in Ky or TN (I want to say it was Murray State). Bill Musselman was then hired the from Ashland...
