Competition to the Gopher football program for sports fans was everything back then. The only revenue the Goher team brought in was from ticket sales for fans butts in the seats of the Brick House and concessions sales. In those days, college games were. broadcast on radio stations. In 1960...

The Vikings started playing in town in 1961. The Lakers (with their prize draftee, Elgin Baylor)! bagged a$$ for LA. Their last season in Minneapolis was the 1959-1960 season. Calvin G. had turnred the old Washington Senators into the new Minnesota Twins too and 1961 was their first year...

Damn, There is a lot to like about Northwestern…or so some say. I saw ‘em playing a time or two but just don’t see it. One of their tough games was supposed to have been PSU in a year when PSU just didn’t show up so frequently their coach was terminated by the middle of the season. Seems to...

My close to 70 years (starting at age 8) tell me that it is not often that the football gods let the sun shine down on the U of M. But I sure as hell love being a Big Ten Golden Gopher fan. I’m pretty sure you know what I mean Bayfield Gopher!

If folks want to get antsy they will get antsy. A 6-7 still would not overturn the body of work imho.

Who didn’t win at PSU this year? Played USC tough for a half? USC spotted a pretty good Iowa team 14 points early in the game and beat them in the 4th quarter in the rain in southern CA. USC is a pretty laid back squad that has a lot of weapons. You do know the story on that Michigan loss...

Who is going to give Fleck a very hot seat for some hypothetical situation that some debby downer types are hoping for? At this point in time, I don’t believe hypothetical seat warming scenarios really carry any weight with any of the hypothetical people who make reliable seat warming...

Having played those games at tOSU, Iowa City and in Oregon (when the ducks were coming off a monsoon game in Iowa City…when the weather dictated to Oregon what kind of offense they had to play which was pound the rock offense: the ducks unveiled their entire offensive package back home, in good...

Remember: the game fixers & bookmakers favored Nebby by a lot over the Gopher Team when the husker team was ranked… you never know what the damn odds makers are up to…I guess I’m just not too impressed with what I have seen from Nu, but I’m certainly no expert

Michigan ran and threw all over the ball park field last Saturday and then turned the ball over five times to those Wildcats who still managed to lose

what happened to the NU physicality in their loss to Nebraska?

It will be theGopher team that is not playing Ohio State, Oregon and Iowa in Iowa City…

MSU’s big mistake was to turn the game into a shoot out by letting the game end in a tie and the Gopher coaches unleashed Drake the monster mobile qb loose in OT!!! ;0)

Nu is not tosu….not Oregon or even Iowa. Heck. even the Michigan team that tried to hand the Wildcats a win last Saturday is not anywhere near being a typical cornblue team. I think this preview of the pin-stripe bowl game to be played in Chicago’s tribute to gum chewers ball park on November...

Good points Gophergrandpa. You may very well be totally correct in all of your assumptions. By reading all of your rock solid points, a Gopher fan has a lot of reasons to want to totally give up and pencil this one in as a loss. However, in my lifetime (78years)of watching Big Ten football, as...

would four turnovers, one failed fourth down attempt and two missed field goals have been for Michigan on Saturday in the baseball park game in Chicago? How many potential points did that Michigan team spot the Wildcats in their …Saturday in the park…walk off win. Northwestern is a fine, tough...

In 2021 Fickell’s Bearcats lost to Alabama in the 4 team national championship play-offs. LF is not a bad coach. Wisky has no guarantee they would hire a better coach in 2026 any way…

Comeback overtime wins give me great joy and are very rare. Obviously I had to rate it an A. Great joy is in very short supply on this board it seems to me… ;0)

Good one!!! ;0)

A lot changes happen from game to game and team to team. There are more than several ways to win a game and more than several ways to lose a game I’m going to just let each game play out and I won’t know how many wins and how many losses my favorite team will will have until the season ends...
