Souhan: One loss doesn't change this: Gophers could yet dominate the market

[BleedGopher]

per Souhan:


As in 2019, a soft Big Ten schedule could set the Gophers up to not only win big again but to accomplish something just as unprecedented as beating a ranked SEC team in a New Year’s Day Bowl.

The Gophers still could become the preeminent sports team in the state of Minnesota.

Michigan beat the Gophers 49-24 on Saturday night at TCF Bank Stadium. The Gophers missed their departed defensive stars and two offensive linemen who did not play, presumably because of COVID-19 testing.

It was a lousy way to start the season, and in other years may have dimmed casual fan enthusiasm, but this is not a normal year.

This is a remarkable sports market. We have the NFL, WNBA, NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, NWHL. We have the Big Ten and the St. Paul Saints. We have quality prep sports, and a stunning array of pro and college venues.

One of the challenges for Gophers football has always been competition for the sports fan dollar and sports media attention.

One loss doesn't change this: Gophers could yet dominate the market

The Vikings are down. Most others are out. So even with Saturday night's loss, the Gophers still could become the preeminent sports team in the state of Minnesota.

I'm beginning to think ol' Jimmy is in a bromance with PJ. After all, they're both very fit!

Souhan will never qualify for any crown of any thing significant.
