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...

I saw an 8-4 season coming on this past summer. Maybe even 9-3 or 10-2 if things went well. Instead it has been the most disappointing season in years, maybe decades. “Instead” will be the word of choice through 7 sad developments to follow., So what were the things I didn’t see coming? 1...

I’ve always enjoyed “Ski U Mah”. It is so unique. It’s kind of fun to bump into a stranger wearing a Gopher tshirt in another state or country and say “Ski U Mah” to them like it is a secret handshake. Remember a couple earlier years at TCF Bank Stadium when they attempted to put three flags...

So, Taylor is a game time decision. Fleck translation: probably out for the season.

A lot of people new to college football struggle with QB pronunciation. It is K-A-L-I-A-K-M-A-N-I-S, which is pronounced “Mertz” rhyming with “Hertz”. This reminds me: let’s rent a new QB through the portal and win some games next year. Or, please, someone make me feel better and tell me...

I just happened to notice as I had Big Ten Network on in the background and it is currently replaying the Northwestern win over UTEP that their field looks different. It no longer looks like a neglected city park with 7 inch grass and woodchuck holes. It looks like a state of the art grass...

I have a question but rather than waste a whole thread on me and my question, I figure I will use this thread to ask a more general question before I get specific. What is something you recommend, or something you have seen that you want to add to your tailgate? I’ll share mine: We have always...

The Gusties defeated Plattsburgh State 3-2 in an epic double OT thriller this afternoon to advance to their second national championship game in a row. They lost the title game in OT a year ago. Championship is Sunday vs either Hamilton or Amherst.

Bucky Irving with a very impressive TD run against North Carolina in the Holiday Bowl. Followed by a long story about he didn’t like the “Bucky to Bucko” nickname migration here. But that wasn’t the reason he transferred. He “wanted a place he could compete.” What does that mean?

Watching Rutgers score on a blocked punt vs Michigan, and… Of all the technology advances in stadiums these days, the one I completely dislike is LED lighting. And it isn’t the actual lighting that bothers me. It is the way stadium Gameday crews now feel the need to blink the lights and have...

We recently got news that the video board is going to be replaced at the Bank. Not upgraded. Not enlarged. Replaced. The bank is now 13 years old. There hasn’t been much added or improved in those 13 years (not even additional flag poles on the stadium’s north rim. There were originally 11...

This is just random stuff in no particular order. I’d love to hear about the experiences from others that made the trip. - I found the toll roads from IL to PA to be a pain. I am so glad we don’t have toll roads here. Literally off/on again construction for the entire length. And it seems the...

What is your favorite part of having PJ Fleck’s most connected team of his coaching career? What do you think the team’s record would be if it wasn’t so darn connected?

If you waste any time on Tik Tok, do you have any accounts you follow with good/regular Gopher Football content. There are the obvious choices like Gopher Football, but here is one that I have found that puts out some good stuff: https://www.tiktok.com/@umba_productions?_t=8W7A9QjgIco&_r=1

Let's have some fun with this (as if we aren't already having fun this year).

The MSU beatdown in the 2:30 time slot registered with a lot of people that post on fan forums around the Big Ten. Almost every Big Ten West (and a few East) boards have some sort of "Minnesota looks good" or "Fleck" thread and they are driving a lot of posts. Lots of opinions. The amount of...

I was fairly nervous about Purdue entering the season and I still believe they are capable of beating anyone, particularly at home. So I am glad the Gophers catch them in Mpls this season. But, they have problems this year and it seems these problems directly or indirectly have Brohm’s...

I’ll start… Ky Thomas’ Kansas squad is blowing Tennessee Tech out at halftime. Our guy Ky has contributed -2 yards to the Kansas halftime total of 65 rushing yards. Looks like he is sharing the rushing load with others. Perhaps the second half will be more kind to his stat line.

It’s still early and forecasts can change. But… If the current forecast for Thursday holds, it will be a wonderful night for tailgating and watching Jerry Kill shake hands with PJ Fleck. Sunshine and 80 degrees followed by a clear evening and a great view of the sunset and the MPLS skyline...
