    Selfish plays

    In the last two games, the teams playing the Gophers were trying to run the clock out and ended up having breakaways for TDs. In both cases, if the player had simply gone to the ground once he had the 1st down, their team could have run the clock out and won the game. Instead, by scoring, they...

    Vacated wins

    I have a site with the results of all of the Gopher games and I was just doing some reading about vacated wins - I had been under the impression that our W/L record would be 0-0 in the years affected by the academic scandal and that's how things are represented on my site. However, from what...

    Gophers vs. Wisconsin 1892

    My website contains the results from every Gopher Football game and a couple of years ago I was contacted by a Badger fan who gave me a link to the following article: http://www.uwbadgers.com/blog/2011/11/it-started-innocently-enough-sundays.html According to that article, the Gophers, who had...

    Auburn/Georgia

    That game was decided by pure selfishness. On 4th down, you bat the ball to the ground. Period. I get so annoyed when I see defenders 40 yards down the field intercept a ball on 4th down. Put the ego on hold for a minute and think of your team!

    Issue at Hall of Fame

    I visited the Hall of Fame at TCF today for the first time in a couple of years and there was a program in the case with the following on the plaque accompanying it: This program is from Gopher Football's 50th anniversary dinner for the Little Brown Jug. Bernie Bierman, who would become a...

    No message boards in 1996?

    I just saw an article on The Daily Gopher and it said: While I agree that internet access has exploded since then, twitter didn't exist and blogs were rare (I'm not sure if they had a name yet), there were message boards back then and we had a lot of lively discussion about the search to...

    Did Orseske get injured?

    Since he didn't come back out later in the game after the blocked punt, I'm assume that Orseske was injured on the play. He can't possibly be blamed for the block... that guy was in there so fast that nobody could have gotten the kick off in time.

    Hall of Fame issues

    The Hall of Fame looks nice, but I was disappointed to find a couple of misspellings on the time line wall that any spell check would have found ("coinsd" and "aree"). That smacks of laziness. Also, why did it say that someone (John Anderson maybe? I don't remember) was going to pass a record...

    Bags at stadium

    I never brought a bag with me to the games last year, but I may want to this year and I was wondering what the policy is. The Gameday Guide has a list of prohibited items which includes: Backpacks, luggage, grocery, duffel bags, large bags, large purses or large camera cases So what size bag...

    Did I hear that right? Illiinois is our "end of season" rival now???

    Granted, I'm happy with the division layouts, but Illinois??? Really???

    Minnesota week on BTN

    Just a note for everyone - July 5th through the 9th is "Minnesota week" on the Big Ten Network. I took a look at their online schedule and it only has the 5th and 6th listed right now, so it seems that they only show two weeks out. They'll be showing the 1999 PSU game along with the 2005...

    Refs according to Rittenberg

    I think Adam Rittenberg is great, but his column has said at least THREE TIMES that the refs in our game were horrible and that it is Michigan State that got the short end of the stick! Did he even watch the game? http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten

    Baseball cap alternatives

    With outdoor games just around the corner, I'm starting to look at getting weather-related Gopher items. One thing I'm specifically looking at is hats. I burn extremely easily, so I'll be wearing a hat to most games and I have a good variety of baseball caps available. However, I'm curious to...

    Seat selection hours?

    What are the hours that the seat selection process moves along? What time each day does it get going and when does it stop? Is it active on the weekends? I can't remember, I don't think I have the original brochure and I can't find this information on the web.

    Single seats

    I know that the U has said that it reserves the right to shuffle seats slightly to avoid having single seats, but now that there are sections with nothing but single seats, it made me wonder - does anyone know if they're actively doing that as singles pop up, or are they waiting until the end of...
