    Predictable PJ

    Mason’s last 3 teams, which all had either Barber, Maroney, or both, all got smoked in Iowa City. Mason’s best team was losing 40-6 in the 2nd Half in 2003. It was a very disappointing game and people have a right to be upset, but my gosh to some people need to get a grip. Instead of a coach...

    Moorhead will throw up some points on Blaine. Question will be can Blaine grind & keep the ball out of the Spuds' hands? Will keep my on STMA-Osseo. I think EP wins comfortably, but don't think it will be some 5-7 TD difference; more like 2-3 TD's. From what I've heard, Lakeville North's...

    2025 Iowa Tailgating

    It's been 10 years since I've been down there & tailgated before game. I do know that they used to allow you to park your car the night before at a spot so we did that once, then walked back across the river. Day of game, walked to lot & didn't have to worry about getting early for a spot...

    Friday Night Lights

    https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/michigan-warde-manuel-friday-night-game-football.html The big 3 have said they don't want Friday night games, with Michigan in particular pretty adamant about it. I remember Michigan bitching in 2003 when the game had to get moved to Friday due to...

    Is this Badgers season among the worst of the century in the Big Ten?

    Only thing I'll say in support of the 2007 Gophers in claiming this title was I think Wisconsin has played a lot tougher teams. The 07 Gophers lost 3 non-conference games to a Bowling Green, FAU & NDSU & needed OT to sneak by another MAC team & the Big Ten was not great that year. Wisconsin is...

    POST GAME THREAD: GOPHERS DOMINATE HUSKERS!! WIN 6TH STRAIGHT VS NEBRASKA!!!!

    I had picked NE 30-27. Boy was I pleasantly wrong. What a fun atmosphere. Crazy how things have changed in one week. Loved the offensive balance. No secret sauce to this. Win up front and you give yourself a chance to win the game. Both OL & DL were terrific.

    Arguments for all orders exist. Having seen all 3, I would go Moorhead-Edina-STMA, but just my opinion. STMA played MG & EP tough. I'd pick at least 2 of the 3 winning their first playoff game & whichever 3 gets the 6 could be looking at trouble.

    OT Games

    2007 Purdue was a game in which I was watching at the Hilton sportsbook in Vegas. I was standing & cheering a blocked FG getting returned for a TD, only for Jamal Harris to drop the ball while running, which resulted in the entire sportsbook pointing & laughing at the Gophers & me. I did the...

    I see 2 more wins

    It was a frustrating game for sure, and there are definitely issues….but games are lost more often than they are won. Every team on the Gopjers schedule is capable of losing the game, except in my mind Oregon (talent outweighs any mistakes they’d make) & Iowa (they are the kings of letting...

    Always some shadiness. The association I'm in has a rule that 1 head coach & 1 official assistant; there are other assistant coaches, but their kids are a part of the draft pool. This at least avoids the 1 head coach & 5 dads that are assistants so those 6 kids are automatically put on the...

    Interesting article. SWML (EP, Chaska, Chan, Prior Lake, Orono, New Prague, Waconia) is supposed to do balance teams (always rumors whether a team or two is stacked), but does keep score & has small level of tiered playoffs, so perhaps a hybrid of the LMAA & full competitive football. I can...

    EP over Moorhead 34-33. Roller coaster game. Moorhead scored TD with under :30 & went for 2. Got a half the distance to the goal penalty, but had pass batted down. #1 on Moorhead is LEGIT! Some questions for EP’s defense. But EP eventually able to roll on the ground. Should lock up 3...

    After watching Tonka last week, the one thing I will say about the one-dimensional attack is the QB is a beast & seems to almost get 4 yards just by falling forward automatically. Add to that a pretty massive o-line & they can easily possess the ball for a long time. I think the 2nd half last...
