You sure about that? Gopher served in the US House of Representatives. Sure, he was from Iowa. But still...

Ditto. I and most the people I know have been working remotely for over six months now. I don't see why a football coach can't do it if the technology makes it possible. If nothing else, it would make it less likely for future cases to get "hidden" if the NCAA makes it clear that getting the...

Win at least two trophies (three if you count the Bits o' Broken Chair).

I keep hearing Rick Flair in my head!! Woooo!!

That's more than one word. :geek:

Where is it written that football is a men's sport? If there was a woman that was talented enough to make the team and earn a scholarship, I think they would be welcomed with open arms. ;) --The previous comment was 99% in jest. Please be gentle in your criticisms of it.

The average daily high for Dec 12 (the weekend of game 8) is 27.8 degrees. If they play the last home game on Dec 5, it is 30.4. Not exactly balmy but not the arctic tundra either. With all the gear and equipment to combat cold weather, the team will be fine playing at TCF, IMO.

Ugh. This sucks. So they are cutting track and field but not cross country? Good luck recruiting runners to run a single season when they can go anywhere else and compete year round.

They have pretty good at skewering Tennessee in the past. This from last year, is one of my favorites:

Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio St., Wisconsin and Penn St. When was the last time Nebraska had a winless season? Edit to add: It doesn't look like it has ever happened.

Definitely nudge him to try out again. I met my wife in the marching band, my sister-in-law was in the band, my father-in-law was in the band in the 50's, some of my best friends to this day were people I met in band. To say that being a UMMB member changed my life is not an overstatement.

My daughter will be a rookie trumpet. They just received an email from Betsy McCann that marching band is still happening. With an obviously much modified mission.

That’s too bad. What does he play that he was still auditioning at this late date? Is that a drum line thing?

That’s awesome. Did you by any chance break it down by touchdowns and field goals? I could see field goals being tougher on the open end due to wind. But I don’t understand why touchdowns would be significantly different.

Yep. Angering Gopher fans doesn't cause as big a hit in magazine sales as angering Nebraska fans. It's about selling magazines more than printing truth, IMO.
