The SEC was formed in December of 1932 so the Gophers won that game before the league actually played any football games but I will take it!

This was before the SEC was formed.

Tennessee after the 1986 season in the Liberty Bowl, 21-14.

I have been thinking about our 2026 game with Mississippi State and was wondering how many regular season games Minnesota has played vs, teams who were in the SEC at the time. Turns out there have been just two and both were at Memorial Stadium. Minnesota beat Tulane in 1935, 20-0 and Vanderbilt...

This HAS been going on for a long time. When the great Hugh McElhenny left Washington after being drafted by the 49ers in 1952, he claimed that he took of a massive pay cut.

Kind of like how the British and French like to remember when they were big deals a century or two ago.

Some great in-game coaching by Medved and a terrific "iron five" performance but winning with a bench this thin is just not sustainable. Gotta get those 2 injured guys back soon.

You have an excellent and specific memory for anguishing lowlights....as do I.

It seemed like the kids embraced the weather and that it made the experience even more fun for them. After all, college is about making memories.

But not against us. The Gophers gave hope to many a beleaguered DC this year.

On the subject of Gopher games played in the snow, in 1955 USC came to Memorial Stadium and ran into a late October blizzard. They had a flashy back named Jon Arnett (apologies to older members who know all about him). He did next to nothing that day and a poor Minnesota team scored an upset...

That play was almost identical to the pick six made by Coleman Bryson 3 years ago in the Pinstripe Bowl vs. Syracuse. I remember he didn't look that fast and I was surprised he scored. I thought Nestor looked pretty fast.

This weather puts the game in a different category. Winning the turnover game 3 to nothing is the very definition of playing well.

Brosmer had 3 extra years of starting college quarterbacking before coming to Minnesota. They really cannot be compared.

Next year it is very likely that we will field a better team that posts a worse record.

Congratulations to you and others who predicted a Gopher win today. I am so happy your optimism was rewarded! Gotta work on that.

It would be something if Denaburg made the difference in a win!

Predicting a Wisconsin win is not a sign of disloyalty. Of course, we would LOVE to see a Gopher win but there is ample data to indicate that we are deeply flawed and that the Badgers are improving.

25 degrees with snow. Not good for Gophers who are a passing team with no running game. Good for Badgers who can run well but not pass. Guys from Madison tougher in trenches. Badgers 24 Gophers 7, just the reverse of last year's game.

That was the game that the Gophers clinched when Brooks ran about 60 yards to score in the last 2 or 3 minutes. It was 17 degrees at kickoff but without a lot of wind it did not feel that cold to me.
