The college football landscape is changing very quickly the last few years with new rules and different ways to build your team. The old school way saw teams dominate for years and years with very little chance to move up significantly. We just don't know how all this will pan out the next...

LOL -- good one -- it was THURSDAY night football!!

When I coached we had 3 rules that we always gave at the very first practice. 1) Have fun 2) Play hard 3) Never -ever- quit. One thing he will learn is by doing this he will tarnish his entire football career. 5-10 years from now he will not be known for any of his great plays, great worker or...

I have a co-worker who went to Virginia Tech and we have been saying all year this matchup was going to happen in the bowls. I feel a small wager is probably in store here! Gotta take the Gophers to extend their bowl streak!!

That's one of the fallouts from Michigan beating OSU 4 times in a row.....remember back when Herbie Sr. was being recruited, the Gophers landed Scott Schaffner out of Ohio that year who supposedly was the best QB in Ohio.

Badgers win 24-17. Everyone goes bowling.

Easy one -- Penn St 28 Gophers 10

Ouch! If Dutcher had been hired several years ago we would be well on our way to competing in the Big Ten but several mistakes were made. We have indeed hit rock bottom - this is going to be a very long season. Let's not blow it next time with another lousy hire.

Any one of those matchups would be a pretty tough game for the Gophers. Some interesting matchups - for sure!

THERE'S finally the AK we know and love. Nice pick -- sure hope it stands!

Sure looks like you might have nailed it -- this does not look good. Gophers defense looks really bad today. 211 passing yards for AK just in the first half. UGH. Hope the Gophers make some good halftime adjustments...

However, I will NOT be shocked if we do not play well and lose to Rutgers. Rutgers is regarded as one of the bottom team in the Big Ten, but you don't want to go in there and take it for granted or look ahead to Penn St. and Wisconsin. I expect Rutgers to play their best and you know their...

He is REALLY good -- you have to enjoy him while you can and hope we can keep him. Barring injury or something really bad happening, we should be watching him in the NFL in a few years.

This is a good example of why you never quit. The three rules I would give to all the teams I coached was 1) Have fun 2) Play as hard as you can 3) Never quit. That third one can be tough sometimes but the payoff can be huge. If you walked away right after the tough loss vs. Michigan, then you...

One thing I really like about PJ Fleck is he takes these bowl games seriously. We have a nice win streak going and it will be fun to try to keep up the streak against a good team!!

Actually seeing the line moving up -- Gophers -3. This will be a tough game - we never seem to do well lately vs. Illinois and their hated coach but we need it bad to continue the momentum!

Wow - the oddsmakers with an incredibly soft line. I should have put a lot more than 200 on the Wolverines here. Gopher fans -- it does help soften the blow a little bit but watching this debacle unfold still sucks.

Mason was able to defeat every team in the Big Ten at least once, and I loved watching his offense. His Achilles heel though was his inability to recruit and develop defense so the Gophers were always prone to late game meltdowns. I have never felt worse after a football game than the great...

Ah the Dome!! My fave moments at the Dome were the Lou Holtz years where we went from the absolute rock bottom to a ray of hope to a minor bowl in 2 years. College years and I had season tickets in the front row. Seeing the athletes of Rickey Foggie, Darrell Thompson, Lawrence Maroney and Marion...

Here is my favorite -- and this is another NSFW but I would have been scared to death if he were my coach!!
