I had read this book when it first came out, but just finished reading it again as it was a Christmas gift. This is a fantastic book and I could not put it down once I started. It is the story written by a reported named John Feinstein who had inside access for a year with Bobby Knight and the...

The Vikings won 3-0 yesterday in an extremely boring game. I told my son, "It was like watching Iowa play an intersquad scrimmage!!!"

It's been a tough year and I think we are all a little discouraged. It has not gone the way any of us wanted and many are saying we need to fire Coach Fleck or the coordinators or even the special teams coach. I agree both the defense and offense has had their share of problems and when you look...

I know Iowa has a terrible offense and this certainly makes us look better, but I really liked the way Rossi's defense played last week vs. the Hawkeyes. Gopher fans were very concerned after the thrashing the Wolverines put on, but you can tell they went back to the drawing board the last...

It was a brutal week last week for the Gophers and many people were upset at the end, including me. There was some venting by many of us and it was not too fun around here the last few days. Some even said, "Well there goes the season," but that is NOT the attitude to take here. Somehow...

OK -- so again -- why didn't we hire Brian Dutcher, who has coveted the Gopher coaching position for some time? We should have hired him about 3 coaching searches ago. They just knocked off the #1 team - Alabama- in the nation and are driving into the Elite 8. This was a no brainer and the...

Those years were some of the most exciting times for the Gopher football team that I have ever witnessed. We have had a number of coaches since then, but never have things been so exciting or have I been so optimistic for the future. It was very fun to be a Gopher fan -- until it crashed and...

This was the first year I ever followed Gopher basketball and I really picked a great year! I eagerly awaited every game and listened to all the games on the radio with Ray Christensen announcing on WCCO. The Gophers finished 15-3 in the Big Ten and 24-3 overall and had an absolutely fantastic...

A lot has changed since their last edition, but in the Summer of 2024 comes the long awaited edition for college football fans. I don't know how much will be changed to the Dynasty feature, but today's football has NIL deals and the transfer portal and I am wondering if you are going to...

Everyone is angry, stunned and probably STILL cold after last night. Interestingly, this is the first time I have heard people say we need to fire Fleck. He won't be fired, but I think he will be held under scrutiny a little more. It might be the beginning of the end, but I think this will be...

This year's Big Ten coach of the year has got to go to Bret Bielema at Illinois. I always thought of him as a good coach even back to the Wisconsin days but he has really turned it around for them. He has done an awful lot with Lovie Smith's cellar dwellars - I can't think of anyone who has done...

In 1982, I was a freshman at the U of M and this was the first year I had season tickets. It also was the first year at the Metro Dome, which Coach Joe Salem called a "football palace." The team came in with a lot of hope and promise and Gopher broadcaster Ray Christensen proclaimed a pre-season...

- This was the first game that I knew we had zero chance of winning, didn't look forward to it all week and was just glad to get it over with. I haven't had that feeling in a very long time for a Gopher game. - Extremely poor game plan, especially offensively going into this game. They had ZERO...

There are many videos of Herb Brooks talking about coaching, and of course the ex-Gopher coach was one of the greatest coaches of all time in any sport. He pulled off one of the greatest upsets of all time of course vs. the Russians but I always thought the victory over Finland 2 days later was...

Could the Gophers beat this spread?? Absolutely. But they won't. First off, Jerry Kill has a major ax to grind and will do his very best to put on a major scare here. This is his Super Bowl and he will pull off all the stops. I don't think Fleck wants to roll this game even though he could - he...

I have enjoyed being a Gopher fan since I went on a field trip in 1972 and saw the Gophers demolish Iowa 43-14 on Homecoming Day. There was no doubt where I was going to go to college! In the 50 years since that game, we have enjoyed some great highs and of course many lows but things are very...

Indiana has really struggled this year and they are down to their third string QB, but keep in mind this was a team that finished 9-3 last year and was ranked #17 pre-season so you know they have some talented athletes on both sides of the ball. They were ripped apart by Rutgers last week, but...

The Hoosiers just might have had THE most disappointing team in the NCAA this season. They were actually ranked in the preseason Top 20 and have found themselves with an 0-7 Big Ten record and 2-8 season record. It's been a rough year. They lost by 5 to Michigan St and 3 to Maryland but have...

- I can tell there are a lot of upset and irate Gopher fans out there tonight. I am not happy either. I suppose this is a good time to vent a little bit but in the end remember we are all fans and all want what is best for the team. People are upset because they care. - I have really been on OC...
