I like this a lot, but you're jumping into SEC territory with TCU & Georgia Tech. Does that start a war with them and they start grabbing teams from our traditional footprint? We're at an uneasy truce right now. True, they blew up the old truce by taking Texas and Oklahoma. Also true there...

Well, you sucked me in. I wanted to just let this post die. Ha! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I get where you're coming from. It can be hard to differentiate for sure. Even Google's AI had difficulty, but it made a distinction (see below). Of course, some people would just say...

This is the only quote I could quickly find that said what I wanted to say. Unfortunately, it turns out Neera Tanden is a political consultant. Hahahaha!

That's a cynical take. I don't think what Dan Lanning said was political. He was just being kind. Both sides can do that. And in my case, I was just trying to keep things friendly. So far it seems to have worked.

I was at the game with some Bears fans. They were not surprised. Bears fans are very beaten down and expect the worst.

I only care when they say something positive and it gives me the impression they are setting a good example for impressionable young men. The more reminders we can have to be nice to each other, including on this message board, the better. How you spend your time is totally up to you. ;)

I was listening to a podcast recently and they mentioned how impressed they were by this statement by Dan Lanning. I am not posting this to get a political discussion started and I hope I don't regret posting this at all. There are other threads for political discussion so please take your...

I hope Cal can hang onto him. I really like the more distributed talent in college football now especially at QB. No more stacking five stars at the blue bloods. A few years ago he's rotting away on Oregon's bench. Of course, he's not beating us if he's rotting away on Oregon's bench so...

Cal's QB is REALLY good. The Gophers likely had a slight talent advantage, but their QB is a bit more of a game changer than ours. Drake looked good too, but he can't make something out of nothing when things break down like the Cal QB because he's not as athletic. It was amazing watching the...

Koi is used to being one of the best players on the field and his ultra aggressive approach has usually paid off. It all just went wrong for him in one game. He tried to do too much and he can't get away with that at this level. When he made a mistake, he tried even harder to make up for it...

Were they also not very afraid of our WRs? We beat them deep once on a blown coverage. Our WRs look faster than last year, but will that still be true against B1G defenses? Still my biggest concern. B1G D’s will do the same thing, but with better athletes. DL will need some help.

You probably already know this, but Tony Dungy was not drafted in the NFL for his ability to play quarterback. NFL Playing Career: He played three seasons in the NFL, primarily as a defensive back for the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers. During his time with the Steelers, he won...

This is where we differ. Many of us said all year that we were not impressed with the Gopher's WRs. We've had difficulty recruiting the position. They seldom got any separation. Our offensive line wasn't great either. Max made our offense MUCH better than it should have been last year. As...

Correct! And it would be my choice to call him an idiot!

Very good point. Extremely complex business. You don't luck into running a successful farm. Don't get me wrong on my "first world problems" point. We all have those problems because, well, we live here!

Excellent point! Using FinnGopher's own $10,000/acre price times the average farm size of 388 acres equals $3,880,000. A lot of people that got to this country AFTER all the cheap farm land had been scooped up would not feel much sympathy for the poor farmer. And I'm not bashing farmers, I...

If not them, then who?

Right! I was told being a hockey parent is basically a lifestyle choice and, when my sons were young, I didn't want that lifestyle. I knew I just had to keep them away from it past early elementary school. One son did eventually ask me about playing and I was like so sad too LATE! 😜

Was that before or after you and your buddies moved in? :D
