AT WHAT POINT DO YOU SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

[Gopher Mac]

I have been a fan for 60 years. Is it time to move on? I have moved on from the Vikings. I remember the Chuck Forman days and I don't waste my Sunday's anymore. Is it time to also start enjoy my Saturdays?

Plenty of heartbreak over the years…but big wins and Saturdays at Huntington will keep me coming back.

It has been worse.

It has been better.

No doubt very difficult when we go fetal 20 minutes into a 60 minute contest.

Also interesting that at least half of the stands was gone midway into the 4th quarter. The beat-the-traffic impulse was stronger than waiting-to-see-Floyd make the ceremonial march around the field fun.

I think Floyd's voter registration card could legitimately read residence address "Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, IA" at this point. Sigh.

Billds will be there against Sparty rare'in to go. Ski U Mah.

I have said this many times. I have not moved from my teams but certainly have lost the passion I once had and transfer that to my Grandkids and staying busy. Football on both levels has changed so much. I am still going to the bank but not every game, still watch the Vikes but not on the couch, more like baseball in the back ground.

I wouldn't say give up on Gopher football, but sometimes it's good to take a weekend off. Take a break. Go watch a movie at the theater, check out an exhibit at MIA, try out a new brewery. Try not to check the score and check it anyway.

I call those bye weeks.

I call that December through late August.

Hear hear. I'm done with football. From now on, I'll spend my Saturday climbing a tree and playing jacks.

I’ve attended more than 1500 Gopher football/hockey/basketball/baseball games. Rationally, I should have said it long ago given all the heartbreak/despair/and occasional disgust (like yesterday). That said, it’s multi-generational in our family and when it’s time for the next game we go hoping for the best. And beating Nebraska six straight times provides some emotional cushion.

I'll always be a fan of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, no matter what.
That said, I'm not a fan of PJ Fleck, and haven't been since Bowling Green.
I'd like to see them fire Mark Coyle, get an AD that truly knows how to fundraise and administer the athletic department, and then have him/her hire a new head football coach.
The right coach for the job.
Wishful thinking?
Probably...

It's just a game. If it's affecting your health negatively then yes, move on.

The athletic department at the U in men’s athletics is in bad shape, right? I don’t follow as close as in my younger days, of which there have been many, but baseball has fallen, basketball has been poor, hockey seems a little down, this year anyway.

Football just muddles along has had some talented players, lots of NFL guys, occasional big win, negated by a couple inexplicable losses most years. Football is not rebuilding, it has been built, this is it, just good enough to make us think “we will get over the hump this year.”

I think Coach P.J. Is a good coach, but this is about how far this horse is gonna ride year after year.

Maybe a new AD makes more sense than a new coach, but if nothing changes, nothing will change. I believe we are where we will be, until…….
