http://www.thedailygopher.com/2014/11/10/7186715/gophers-at-nebraska-to-be-a-6-day-pick-for-gametime-tv Looks like we'll be on short notice for time of game vs Nebraska and the network based on this weekend's outcome. Just spitballin'... http://espn.go.com/college-football/schedule/_/week/13...

Hey gang, My wife's mother/brother are coming up from Iowa City to watch the game with us on Nov 8th, so we bought 4 seats together. That leaves our 2 season tickets unused and I'd like to see them go to Gopher fans (since we're aiding 2 Hawkeye fans coming to the game). Section 237, Row 23...

Ok, I should have said 'much closer to 40 than 49.' Pics attached of the crowd just before kickoff (as well as the same view from 2 years ago vs Northwestern). Most people are standing up which hides open seats. Yes, many filled in, but there were many areas with giant blocks of open seats. The...

^^^ Yes. Despite the state fair, LD weekend getaways, and opponent, I was utterly shocked at the low non-student attendance for the opener. And it's been pretty frustrating even against decent teams (including Big Ten opponents). The student section isn't always 10,000 strong, but when it's...

I know I've been critical in the past, but I flipped on the UMD game at puck drop. Holy crap it's empty. The last few years we've been ranked in the top 10 to even #1 for long stretches of the regular season, tonight included. Halfway through the 1st period and the seats are maybe 40% full...

http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2013/10/21/timeline-of-dome-demolition-vikings-stadium-construction-revealed/ It's brief, but gives an idea of what it will look like.

http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/87161/kickoff-times-tv-plans-for-week-10-games Glad we're at the 2:30 timeslot, woulda been nice to have a few of these games at home instead of on the road...

http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/87093/big-ten-weekend-rewind-week-8 Ra'Shede, Hawthorne, and the team in general get some accolades.

Bitch and moan about the fact that so many freshman only came due to free tickets, but they filled up their section with 8,000+ students by my eye. They were there early, and by % more stayed til the end. Where the flying hell are all the people with tickets between the 10s on top and bottom...

Ok, don't massacre me, this post is half tongue-in-cheek. We've talked about the band marching down University roughly 4,568 times here on this thread. The 2 reasons most often cited are 1) the city's unwillingness to shut down University Ave, even if only for 15 minutes, due to traffic flow...

Had an interesting thought... I know many on this board are comfortable with the way college athletics (particularly football and basketball, the revenue sports) are headed. Bigger conferences, more TV revenue, higher ticket prices (along with seat licensing fees, donation requirements, etc)...

Saw this and gotta admit it's pretty funny.

Did anyone else think it was weird that they started doing replays on the board right after the PAT? I understand where they were going with it by playing the audio with it from the radio broadcast to add some spice, but it was poorly executed (one time they didn't even play the TD play, just...

Absolutely not. By percent of the tickets/seats available, the students kicked the STH/random buyers' butts. My pics from 2 seconds before kickoff. Wish I had taken more about 5-10 minutes in to the 1st quarter. Student section was 90+% full on the lower level, 50+% full on the upper...

Does anybody else find it odd that a very nice venue like the Sports Pav is described as "aging" whereas when other old venues (pre recent renovation) like the Big House, Notre Dame's stadium, etc etc are referred to as "historic" or the like. It's a negative for us to have history but a...

Link Per a city council vote, businesses can now use 12 days a year to clear out their parking lots or patios in favor of anything that brings in patrons as long as it conforms with other Mpls rules. I know this rule already existed for 12 days per year for campus bars/restaurants, but this...

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if anyone had any info on this. I know the last one was 2 years ago, mid-May (I got myself some nice workout clothes and a great sweater vest :) ). The one before that was spring 2008 so it would stand to reason this is the year and time again...

Not to beat a dead horse, but after Blackmon's touchdown just now, he dropped the ball and saluted the crowd. This wasn't a game-winning/tying touchdown or even anything THAT important. Yet he was not flagged. Am I mistaken or didn't this exact thing happen (on a much more crucial play) last...

http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/40929/would-you-rather-michigan-or-msu-fate This would-you-rather question is pretty interesting given the MSU-UM situation this year. MSU had the better conference record (pre CCG fewer losses, more wins), won head-to-head with UM, and won the...

I'm sure people have used the college football data warehouse at some point or another, but I stumbled across an interesting page within each team's section. Here is Minnesota's "all time ranking:" Here Interesting to note that with all the bad times we've had in the past 40 years we're...
