Who's headed to Columbus, OH this weekend to back the Maroon and Gold? Means of transportation? Plans? Let's get a little excitement going for a great road trip opportunity (last time OSU comes up on the schedule at the Horseshoe until 2018)... My group is assembling in Chicago Thursday...

Not sure if we have any boxing fans in the house, but fellow alum Caleb 'Golden' Truax is fighting tonight against Daniel Jacobs in a middleweight bout on national TV at 8pm CST, on Spike TV. If you've every watched Caleb before, you know he is a technician and very fun to watch. Lots of...

After watching the latest 'Brick by Brick' entry this week, had a thought that might be a way to make tangible the rebuilding of the program and to remember the athletes that provide the 'bricks'. In a similar fashion to the way donors to TCF Bank stadium are honored, I think it would be cool...

Some interesting quotes from Patterson in this Star-Telegram short: http://www.star-telegram.com/2014/09/08/6102635/tcu-football-notes-minnesota-series.html

So who is our preferred matchup for the next game? A quick rundown of their season schedule shows that they score a lot of points, and have some beat some Tourney teams (@Oklahoma, split season series with Tulsa). In terms of common opponents, they also split with Southern Miss, and lost to...

...for work last month. Spent my time in Fort Smith, AR. And the nature of my work allowed for me to listen to plenty of sportstalk radio. As much as we gripe about KFAN and 1500, let me assure you, we have it pretty good when it comes to sportsradio. Yes, KFAN is not the bastion of smart...

To any interested Gopher fans: As I'm sitting with my tailgate group in 117 for the PSU game, my excellent seats in 219 are available. I've got 2 seats on the aisle, piggy-backed, and with seat-backs (Section 219, R1, S1 and R2, S1). Outstanding view, close to student section (fun people...

Looks like one of Mr. Souhan's colleagues has decided to weigh in on the unfair response many of us have directed at him. An astonishing column really, in that it fails to actually link Souhan's column or address any of his awful one-liners. I guess we should be proud of Souhan because he...

Thought some of you might enjoy reading my letter to Strib sports editors Glen Crevier and Michael Rand. I also copied this email to Mr. Souhan himself, and a number of Star Tribune folks in leadershipe (including the CEO, human resources, etc.). I don't expect a response, or anything to come...

Looking for a tailgate lot pass (preferably one of the lots closer to stadium, like Ski-U-Mah) for the Penn State game on Novemeber 9. Would like to trade x2 game tix from another weekend if possible. Let me know what weekend you are interested in. My seats are excellent, but back-2-back on...

Opening paragraph is hilarious: "William Francis "Bo" Ryan, Jr. (born December 20, 1947) is an American basketball coach, vampire and former player. He is the current head coach of the University of Wisconsin–Madison Badgers men's basketball team, a position he has held since 2001. Ryan served...

So I flip on the BTN late last night, and I'm treated to the back end of IU's senior night, where I catch Jordan Hulls tearing up and blathering on like a Oscar Winner who can't hear the walk-off music. This was sappy and bad enough in its own right, but then I realized this was part of a larger...

Nights like these, when we get a real horrorshow of a game out of our beloved Maroon and Gold, we get lots of hand-wringing and heads-a-rolling talk. It's mentally taxing to back the Gophs at times, even long stretches at times. Sitting in Ryan Arena tonight, my bud and I jokingly exchanged...

The Gophs secondary was a strength of the defense this season, but losing Carter and Stoudemire at the corners is a significant loss of veterancy. Presuming Wells and Vereen play the safeties again in 2013, who are our most likely candidates to open against UNLV as our starting corners? My...

Well after nearly 3 days and not a peep of a response from Mr. Souhan, I decided to fire off a inquiry to his editors/team leader, Glen Crevier, Dennis Brackin, and Michael Rand. Hopefully we'll see some level of accountability here, or at least a weak rationalization. It would seem Jim is no...

As promised, here's the email I fired off to Jim Souhan in response to his rather lazy and hindsight is 20/20 column. My hope is to generate a personal discussion with him to gain some insight on his intent/motives, a la my talk with Chip Scoggins after his hit piece on Ralph Sampson earlier...

Looking for a parking pass in one of the tailgate permitted lots for the 10/27 game against Purdue. Have 2 seats available for either the Michigan or Michigan State game I'd be willing to trade, straight up. Great seats, Section 219 R1 S1 and R2 S1 (back-to-back, on the aisle, w/ seatbacks)...

Hey all - If you read the busiest thread of the day, you may have crossed the suggestion to perhaps round up money for a donation to a charity in Gary and his family's name, and possibly doing a t-shirt or something along those lines to generate interest and proceeds. Others have suggested a...

Nothing groundbreaking, but it was nice to write a 'feel-better' (I won't say 'feel-good') post on the Gophs. Just doing my small part as an insignificant member of the 'anti-Reusse/Souhan' contingent. The end of this Gopher hoops season has done wonders for my confidence in the foundation of...

...we might destined to bump in to the Illini a third time in the the Big Ten Tourney? Seems like a potential first day #8/#9 matchup for us. Of course, I'd love to see us sneak up the standings for a 1st day bye, but that back 1/3 of the conf schedule is rough.
