Gophers 27, Cal 13

I agree with this. I'd like to see those opponents and they would probably draw well. But there is not much upside for the Gophers. You should win, but... these kinds of teams are more likely to bite you in the butt than a MAC team or something. As much as I'd like to see them, I'll take a...

Power 4 teams generally don't need "resume enhancers." If you have a really solid record in your conference (say one loss in the Big Ten or SEC) that gets you in. The ADs and the coaches know that. Do you really think they would schedule FCS teams if they thought it made their chances for...

Yeah it does. It gets a game off the schedule without a loss.

I like the,way it is now. I would do one FCS team, one group of five, and one power 4. If you want to solve the FBS teams blowing out FCS schools, then dont allow anyone to schedule FCS opponents. I'd be fine with that too. But as long as its allowed and counts toward bowl eligibility...

There is some really good commentary on this thread. I am impressed with the knowledge that many posters on this board have. My own observations... 1) I don't get down to many home openers but I was in the stadium for this one. Perfect night for football. Gate line was terrible and I...

Just crabby lately I guess. Again, ,my mistake. We just need Gopher Football season to start! Beat Buffalo.

Fair enough. Overreaction on my part. I apologize.

Does it take a lot of work to be a jacka$$ all the time?

Gophers 23, Bulls 6

That's a really good guess.

I like the schedule too, but I am worried about Buffalo. That could be a good team, and a loss would put a damper on the season like nothing else could. We will need a good game from Drake. He needs to be ready to play... and play well. But I agree with your stance on all this. Could be an...

Huh? I wasn't being critical of Vanek 26. Not at all. I enjoy his contributions. I am simply pointing out that my life has improved since I hit the "ignore" button with a certain poster. He's just not worth any emotional energy.

Accuweather still calling for 73 degrees on August 28th. I'd say it's pretty much a lock now. :)

N Nope. I agree that it isn't accurate that far out. But they don't just use averages. The average high for 8/28 is roughly 80 degrees for Mpls. Accuweather is forecasting 73 for high.

Sometimes it's a steam bath, sometimes it's even slightly chilly. I think last year they had to delay the start of the game due to thunderstorms.

This probably doesn't deserve its own thread but here goes. The way too early weather forecast on accuweather calls for a high of 73 degrees, and partly sunny on 8/28. I'd love that. I don't get to every one of the home openers but am planning to be there for this one. Those conditions...
