    2 Iowa Tickets Needing a Gopher Fan's Home

    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...

    Attendance

    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...

    Gotta Hand it to the Students

    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...

    University Ave

    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...

    Idea to Curb Athletic Spending and Increase College Sport Equity

    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)...

    Replays after touchdowns

    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...

    Campus Tailgating May Have Become Easier

    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...

    Gopher Athletics Equipment Sale

    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...

    Excessive Celebration

    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...

    Interesting Stat as We Talk About Future of Championship Process

    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...

    Interesting Ranking of Gophers All-Time

    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...

    NCAA Allows Uo to $2,000 per year for Student Athletes.

    Story My thoughts are well documented so I'll leave it at this: Slippery slope and how long until it's $4,000, $20,000, $50,000?

    SEC

    I know many on this board would agree the top of the SEC on a given year is better than nearly every conference (national championship run would hold this to be a reasonable argument) but that the media gives them a little too much love for how "deep" they are. After watching this season unfold...

    Yet another example of...

    Sorry for OT.. Was down in Iowa City this past weekend (fiance's bridal shower, parents are Hawkeye fans who just moved back to IC from VA to rekindle their romantic law school days) and ended up going to the Iowa Louisiana Monroe game with her brother and uncle. Wore my MN stuff and got a lot...

    NCSA Collegiate Power Rankings

    Not sure if anyone saw this, but Rittenberg posted it yesterday: http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/33715/four-big-ten-teams-in-ncsas-top-100 or the direct link to the NCSA site: http://www.ncsasports.org/about-ncsa/power-rankings/(year)/2011/(tab)/1 I can't believe how bad the U's...

    Iowa

    This is why many on this board have them as a solid possibility of a win this season. They looked sloppy last week and couldn't stop an inferior Iowa State team today. We beat them last year and can do it again this year. They'll be bottom half of the B1G this year...
