Thoughts from an Old Timer. They can't do this any more (an agreed understanding) but in 1952 Minnesota hired Head Coach Wes Fesler from Ohio State as our Head Coach. The Bernie Bierman time ended after that Has Fleck started golden times for the Gophers again? Happy thoughts.

Most of you know but anyway, The Gophers were the 1st game they had when they joined the B10and the Gov of Penn. put up the Bell as a traveling trophy. Haven't heard anything about it like we would if it was the Pig or Ax. I bet most of us without looking it up don't know who has it now...

Just talked to my son-in-law in Florida a big Fla State Fan (Gopher also) and informed me that Florida State fired their coach today. Guess who they going to go after? Yep and you guessed it. We might as well get used to it.

MN vs Geotech. 1 PM Wed 7 Aug.

A BTN school does not hire a football coach from another BTN school.

may not look so bad -- As ticket income falls, the BTN football tv distribution is rising (which to me is part football income) Add the Two together and the number may look pretty good. Ticket income is dropping because of the wide screen higher definition TV in my opinion.

Which one of the four we play for is the one the most desirable to see in our trophy room. To me (you can guess my age) it still is The Jug. The least is the Liberty Bell although they all are very desirable. The Pig and Ax are tied.

Do they want attendance up (full Stadiums ) or do they want TV money? It sure appears that is the case. (Nebr possible an exception and that may end)

There are so many possibilities that I can imagine: Smith and Brooks fight it out for starter and Ibrahim redshirts. or Ibrahim starts: I can only guess what Brooks and/or Smith decide. Running back by committee (but I doubt it) A new recruit wins out and there is no problem Soooo -...

I have no proof but it is quite obvious that Sid has (at least the help) of ghost writers for his columns. Why? - Very little (compared to the past) on Gopher football vs the Vikings. Maybe you have to be an "old timer" to see this but its obvious. Sad

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is my memory - Back in the 30's we had a series of games with Notre Dame. (5 games if i'm correct) I traveling trophy existed. We won the series and the trophy is now in our trophy room. We were in the National Spotlight then and (I just watched a rerun...

Just looked at a picture of the Stadium filled for the opening against Air Force. So the question. WHEN WILL IT LOOK LIKE THAT AGAIN? (I HOPE IT WILL!) my guess is when we are playing the Badgers at the end of the season for the BTN West title. And then I'm not sure. Or will it be when...

until after the Bowl game but what effect on 2019 season ticket sales do you think the Wisc blow out will have? If every thing looks rosy, strong recruiting class etc., I can see a jump in sales. (maybe even a "big" jump.

How many times have you watched a replay of the Wisc game? (2 like me?) BTN has scheduled a 1 hour replay version.

Is Fleck on his stated schedule towards the results he predicted for next year and beyond? True, most of the team are 1st and 2nd year players. If I am correct he never really made great statements for this year. I heard we are one of, if not the youngest team in Div 1 football. If this is...

can accomplish at Wisconsin as Gopher coach 1. become Bowl eligible 2. Bring Floyd Home 3, Win first road game. (there will be dancing in the streets, if this happens!)

Northwestern by 3

I predict that our defense is going to surprise (for the better) us tomorrow.

Average points per game given up this year Alabama - 17 Minnesota - 43 Yep something had to be done on defense - Recruit Recruit and Coach Coach. By January we will know much more in these areas.

Is Smith gone before the season ends or will Fleck wait until the end of the season? Which by the way is only 3 weeks away.
