I'm looking ahead at the 2014 and 2015 football schedules trying to decide which game would be best to make the 1st game I haul my kid too. It's more likely that I'll make the trek with family in the later part of the season, which leave me iowa or Ohio State in 2014 and Illinois or wisconsin...

A 'canes fan who allegedly "died" addresses the message board posters who have been spreading "garbage and rubbish" about him. To be clear, he NEVER was attacked by a bear, NOR did he have swine flu. Danny addresses all the lies on canestime Leeks needs to address his "death" soon...

It looks as if my plan to sponsor a bowl game is going to be placed on hold until litigation is settled with the NCAA. Does anybody know of an lawyer who will take my case pro bono. McStagger Bowl 2014

Bronko Kane Nagurski - 1937-2011 He'll be missed around the lake this summer... :cool02::cool02:

I have read numerous articles, supported by various statistics, researched by number crunchers too numerous to count; they all argue the "Never Punt" theory of football. I am not taking sides in this debate, but imagine for a moment if in 1980 the Golden Gophers had adopted such an approach...

I would like to announce that I am no longer interested in the Head Coaching position at the University of Minnesota. The timing of this announcement is not related to the letter I received this morning from the University of Minnesota informing me that while they appreciated my interest in the...

Just got off the phone after speaking directly to an athletic director. He has confirmed that Al Golden will be the new head coach for the University of Minnesota. There, now you have it... I broke the story!!!! I am stating with 100% certainty that Golden is the guy. In your face news...

To the morbidly obese hawkeye fans (I counted them by the dozen) I say great job! I applaud your effort to live a normal life, function in society, and your effort to attend a football game that surely included more walking than you've done in the past year did not go unnoticed. A special...

No iowa fans. Tailgating on the West Bank. Must pick up from tailgate lot and drink in tailgate lot before tickets will be handed out. I have 3 or 4 tickets available.

Twice in the past week, I've had to turn down a Gopher fan who wants to attend the game and use a pair of my extra tickets because they were going to attend with a pigeye fan spouse. I thought that letting the two Gopher fans attend sans spouses would be a good solution, but it seems that they...

It shouldn't have come as such a shock to him, given the way he spent his years in State College, PA, but this past Saturday when Penn State was in town a little guy was presented to Dr. Lloyd - he became an father! He was always very careful not to use his real name, but apparently he messed...

Walking down the streets of Suzhou, PRC on Sunday afternoon, I spotted a gentleman wearing a lovely maroon cap bearing a big M. I pause, smiled, and took stock in what a great institution the University of Minnesota is. My education was all that I hoped for and the relationships I made there...

On the road... happy to find that G. Hole isn't blocked by the Great Fire Wall of China. With Lt. Wu looking over my shoulder, I'll keep this brief. New era of Gopher Football is upon us. I'm pumped for the team to play with the pressure off their backs and am thinking that a W is distinct...

West Lafayette is by all accounts (and by scientific survey of all other Big Ten fans) the worst town in the conference. (sorry, MNBoiler, it's a fact) But, curiously, the old stink hole has a special place in my tailgating heart. Way back when, West Lafayette was the destination of Dr. Lloyd...

So... I'm REALLY FIRED UP this week! I'm talkin' pumped like the old days when Lloyd, Sailor, and I would get a ten pounds of wings, a couple of pallets of GA, load of Dixon's sh!tty old jeep and head down the street to tailgate outside Beaver Stadium with no intention of going to the game...

We are less than one month away from LIII - Lobstegate, a party of epic proportion. This year, Lobstergate will be taking place prior to and following the Ohio State Game and will feature dozens of fresh lobster flown in the morning of the game by Kelly Leeks himself. We start by staging...

I want to offer a few words on this Homecoming Friday that marks the return of three true legends of the Gopherhole. As you are well aware, this place has enjoyed an new spirit; a revival, thanks to Dr. Lloyd, Mr. Leeks, and Myself, Sir Tipsy McStagger of Minnesota. I have prepared a few...

The Golden Gophers have taken more than one shot to the jaw thus far - knees are wobbly, but hands are still up - not quite ready to go down without a fight. This is a low point, but from this darkness we’ve been summoned to bring the fire back to the Gopherhole and perhaps in some way back to...

Gentleman, At this historic hour, we Golden Gopher faithful pledge ourselves to the principles of Fall Saturdays, of Tailgating, and of all things Maroon and Gold. No Hawkeye, nor Badger can destroy ideas which are eternal and indestructible. Sacred too are the principles of discourse which...
