    Name Change: Cactus Bowl replacing Rate Bowl

    I remember going to the game vs Texas Tech in December 2006. It was a cool 40 degrees and the locals couldn't believe we had a baby outside. Will never forget how that game went down.

    Ferguson is a great get, but I'd like to see him cancel his VT visit on the 12th.

    UCLA was playing with fire all year and it finally caught up to them. Crazy how Northeastern, Milwaukee and South Dakota State (at least in game 1) fared pretty well in the tournament and the Gophers crushed them in the regular season. I know people are quick to point out that the Big Ten...

    Dobis is a strange evaluation. His numbers improved but when you look closer, you realize his control was a problem, he doesn't have a strikeout pitch and his outings were all mid-week efforts. Staff just didn't trust him to be part of conference lineup. Wish him the best.

    Be curious if he keeps his UCF visit.

    Martin and Quinn are not surprises. Martin fell out of favor and didn't play the last two months (unless he was hurt) Surprised Quinn couldn't find the field. Really liked him out of high school.

    I haven't seen any other Gophers enter the portal thusfar. I suspect many are waiting until the college season concludes. I did see Paul Jones enter the portal from Maryland. Played 1B for the Terps and hit .323 with 12 HR this year as a sophomore. Went to Cretin and is the grandson of Cesar...

    Gopher Football Parking Updates, Per the U

    I have seats 4-5-6. Seats 1-2-3 in my row are open so I'm literally just trying to move to my immediate right. I'll try again tomorrow. Coincidentally currently seat 7 in my row is open and that's the only one. Been that way for years. I sort of like having the buffer because it seldom...

    Gopher Football Parking Updates, Per the U

    Has anyone gone through the upgrade process this year? I have 3 seats I'm trying to move. I get to the very last step to confirm and an error is given and I'm forced to cancel.

    Who is your "I wish we played them every year," opponent for the Gophers?

    After the Heisman, the Jug is the best trophy in college football.

    Big Ten Coaches talk anonymously about other teams.

    I like Fitzgerald and he did a great job at Northwestern, which has to be the most difficult program to have sustained success in the entire conference. However, comparing Fitz with Fleck in the era of Portal + NIL is not possible at this point. Fitz crashed out at Northwestern once the...

    Big Ten Coaches talk anonymously about other teams.

    2024: Beat #11 USC Lost by 3 to #12 Michigan Lost by 1 to #4 Penn State I can see how that would be too far back in history for you to remember.

    Big Ten Coaches talk anonymously about other teams.

    Maybe opposing fans but not sure if that's the case with local fans + media. There are just some personalities that the locals do not fully appreciate. PJ is one of them, Joe Mauer is another. Buxton is also approaching that territory.

    Coach Coldest to Hottest Rankings: Big Ten (14. P.J. Fleck, Minnesota; 2. Luke Fickell, Wisconsin)

    I know blue bloods can be ridiculous in how they turn over coaches and I know what happened to Franklin the season after a run in the CFP. But to have Lanning at #8 on this list just seems crazy to me.

    If the criteria is a guy I can't understand but I like listening to anyway, then I nominate SpauldingNo!

    what rivalries should be

    To answer the original question "What rivalries should be"....I think GopherHole should pool our resources and assemble a "Danny Ocean" type of crew. The quest? Break into the offices of Camp Randall and reacquire the Slab of Bacon.

    Salt in the wounds....12th seed Michigan State beats #5 seed Purdue in the tourny opener by a score of 8-4. Purdue has collapsed down the stretch and will miss the NCAA. Would have been a perfect opportunity for the Gophers to make a run to quarterfinals. Oh well.
