I remember in 2007 we were arguing about which was worse, the 2007 team or the 1983 team. This year, we argue about which was better, the 2019 team of the 2003 team. That kind of argument is a lot more fun.

It's that time - time to eat our opponents I know I'm supposed to say "No, not like that!" But not this time. This is Wisconsin, and since they lead the nation in cannibals, I'd say it's them or us. Tuck in everyone! But tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and some of you may not have gotten a turkey...

An invitation to the Rose Bowl is on the line this Saturday. I think that in addition the Gophers bringing Paul Bunyan's Axe to TCF Bank Stadium, the Badgers ought to bring the Slab of Bacon. Double or Nothing, Winner Take All! Just think of it, the Axe on one side of the field, the Slab on the...

I found a recipe for Wildcat, but it doesn't actually contain any wild cat. Ingredients 1 pound finely ground grass fed beef tenderloin- raw 1 teaspoon brown mustard 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon brandy 1 pinch salt, or to taste ground white pepper to...

Back despite popular demand, it's time again to eat our opponents. No, not like that. Wait, it's Iowa? Well, maybe... No, that would be wrong. So, can we eat a Hawk? Turns out, birds of prey are perfectly edible, just not very enjoyable: But wait! They're the Hawkeyes, not the Hawks. We...

The Gophers were 6-2 in the Big Ten in 1973. Already 6-0. That's one big threshold crossed - more to go! Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

It's that time again, time to eat our opponents! No, not like that. It's time to eat our opponent's mascot. ... that's one mangy looking lion. Not sure I want to eat that one. But portion management is very important. An African Lion weighs around 410 pounds on average. That's a lot of...

Because it amuses me to do so, I've decided to do a series of posts on eating our opponents. No, not like that! More like this: Here's an interesting article about how the craze for turtle soup nearly wiped out terrapins. Turtle soup used to be food that only the poor ate, and then it...

Playing the Cornhuskers made me think of all the recipes involving corn. We're playing the Scarlet Knights, and there aren't too many recipes involving knights, but this one seemed perfect. Poor Knights This "Poor Knights" recipe is an ancient way to make stale bread taste good again...

If you're looking for something while coming up to the Twin Cities for a game, here are some cheap ideas. Minnehaha Falls, a 53 ft waterfall in Minneapolis. Parking can be a little limited, but the park is on a light rail stop. Minneapolis Sculpture Garden at the Walker Art Museum. While...

Winfield was smart of kneel after the interception because it ended the game. If he had fumbled, Fresno State could have returned it for a touchdown. But if Winfield fumbled in the field of play, and Fresno State recovered but didn't return it for a touchdown, would they get a new possession or...

In 1869, the Rutgers Queensmen (That's what they went by back then) beat the Princeton Tigers 6-4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1869_New_Jersey_vs._Rutgers_football_game I had always thought it would be a great idea for Princeton and Rutgers to play each other in 2019. It was seen as...

I expect I'll be eating a lot of Red Baron pizza, but I can only use so many tickets. Does anyone have a group which would like the tickets? It would be simple enough to forward the e-mail with the promo code to whoever wants the tickets, and they could use it to order the tickets. It's not...

I found this gem at AxeMan on University Avenue. Only $4.95! Came with a lot of extras, like replica postcards, a banner and printed schedules,like this one showing the results of the 1891 season. There's a replica of the program from the 1908 game vs Carlisle. I'm tempted to get another just...

From the Minnesota Historical Society: I was at the James J. Hill house in Saint Paul and noticed this sweater on display. According the tour guide, one of the grandchildren scored the tying touchdown in the game. Very cool, the U should see if they can borrow it to display in the Hall of Fame...

In 1999, the Gophers were 5-3 in the Big Ten, and in 2000, the Gophers were 4-4 in the Big Ten. That was the last time the Gophers have had two consecutive seasons with records of .500 or better. Now we have two seasons in a row that aren't losing seasons, and we still have three more games. The...

Yesterday, the 1983 84-13 loss to Nebraska was still living history, thrown into our face over and over. Today, that loss is nothing more than an interesting bit of trivia. This video gives a good impression of what it was like to finally beat Nebraska: <iframe width="560" height="315"...
