Agree with most of these, however I want a lot of discussion about Big Ten Wins in the future.
 








"He just wants to win." (As opposed to all the other players).

"First down...and more!" (Just say "and he's to the 30 yard line".)

"He almost made a great play!" followed later by "XXXX nearly made the catch which would have given them a first down and kept the drive alive, leading to a possible score." (He didn't do it. Not one of those four things happened. Means nothing. In a parallel universe he made it and the rest is history).

"He's the first player in NCAA history to rush for a touchdown touchdown, throw a touchdown, complete less than 50% of his passes, and get called for a personal foul. What a historical moment!" (You get my drift).
 

1-4. "...suffers another seizure..."

10. "Second Tier Bowl" (Hoping for Top Tier Bowls forever!!!!!):clap:

club to try "rule" this place?

You and your little dudes and dudettes can try to make all the noise you want. It won't matter. It won't count. It is perhaps the most useless attempt at control that even this board has ever experienced.

Believe me, a number of them will have MANY more mentions. You and your little club get together and mention your pet peeves all you want. But, in the end: Conference wins vs. Conference losses will ALWAYS dictate the fate of any and every U of M Football Coach.

And, remember: a prexy ALWAYS gets what a prexy wants from his a. d. whether that a. d. is b. j. macturi or our new Noorwood...





The fun all comes from having fun with the people who always try to take everything so damn seriously

Minnie means "sky" in Ojibwa.

There is a township in Minnesota named Minnie. There is a lake Minnie in Minnesota. There is Minnie and Paul on the Twins logo. There is of course Minneapolis (Sky City!). Lake Minnetonka (Big Sky). There is nothing derisive or dismissive in the nickname Minnie for Minnesota. It is merely the first word of two in its original form. That being said, go ahead and plunge forward by dismissing it as "bad".

Minnie is actually "water", I believe. As in Minneapolis - City of Lakes (water) and Minnehaha falls which means "waterfall falls."
