Because there's a large scale conspiracy to deny me the chance to see my alma mater in a game in San Antonio.

Go ahead and deny it...it's the truth.

Very cold goose pate...only bested by lobster pate.

Mmm...

Tech support people who read from a script...and have ZERO technical skills beyond that.

What do Iowa fans and Minnesota fans have in common?

While on a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the Coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just offshore. A helpless man, wearing a black and gold Iowa Hawkeye jersey, was struggling frantically to free ...

That's why God put the Red River where he did...to act as a filter.

Is it deniable that there have been far too many times where a Gopher has gone deep...all alone, 1 on 3 or more...only to get there and wonder what he got himself into? That stuff may work in video games, but not in the WCHA. So a player bring the puck in 1-on-3 or more (assuming line change), why ...

It's girls' HS hockey, but thought this was interesting... I was reading the online edition of the Austin (MN) paper...and saw a girls' game writeup that showed AHS had 97 shots on goal in a 7-0 win over Windom. :shock: I'm not sure what's more impressive - 97 shots or 90 saves.

WHO HATES IOWA?!?!?! :chainsaw: :chainsaw: :chainsaw: :lol: :lol: :lol: Are you kidding me, Iowa isn't even relevant enough to hate. Would you say that Iowa is more relavant than...North Dakota?

Here's a link to a host of news stories on the crash into the marsh: Link Some widely varied opinion on the value of the car, but it's a Bugatti.

Just a heads-up...

Your $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron will not float.

*Warning...a bit of salty language.

I'm not a fan of the "50 seasons" thing, either. Although it celebrates 50 years of being in the Twin Cities, it's kind of misleading for the casual fan...who'd never know that the club was founded in 1894. As for the unis...the comments on the Tigers look are spot-on. When the current uni...

Honestly, that's one of your better and more accurate posts.

BOO F@#$ing hoo, listen if you "fans" have a problem with every game no matter what the outcome is than don't watch the games or go. We dont want you there. Its an embarassment. The worst fans in college hockey, MINNESOTA. What a joke. Thanks. Honestly, this would really save everyone som...

I really don't hate Iowa, since when I was a student the U wasn't polluted with kids from Iowa whining about how Minneapolis wasn't as cool as Iowa City...unlike many (not all, but many) from the eastern side of the Mississippi. That said... The exchanges on this thread are pretty funny...got a grin...

Handyman wrote:So when the team wins its because of the players, but when they lose it is because of the coach...do I have that right?

In the end, all things come back to the coach.

However...a coach can win based on talent alone. See: Jackson, Phil.

There are 2 reasons why Bemidji was the better team tonight, and the better TEAM the all around. Just that TEAM and age. They actually bring kids in that are older than 18 and have physically matured some. You can say what you want about it but it's the rules and Lucia should start considering recr...

You didn't miss much.

A bit more Bushmill's for me and we'll have won the game.

This should be fun, people were posting on here last night like the gophers won a national title. I can't wait for the flip flopping. The flip-flopping is understandable, given that people don't know which Gopher team will show up from night to night. The inconsistency and performance over the last...

Hammy is going off on twitter, looks like he's fed up with Lucia.

He's not the only one.

But it's not good to be rash. I'll rant tomorrow if I'm still disgusted.

Thank you, Jim Souhan. Your article is dripping with sarcasm...and entirely accurate. Link Here's where Coach Brew took charge. He called a timeout with 2:31 remaining, then sent his offense onto the field well-prepared for the biggest play of the game. The Gophers lined up ... looked confused ... a...

What's the rule of thumb for tipping at a partial-service eatery? My family and I went to Smashburger after church today...our first time there.

Gotta love the quote from one of the SDSU players in the Strib's game article... "It's just a lack of execution on our part," Jackrabbits running back Kyle Minett said. "They're no better than Northern Iowa. They're no better than Southern Illinois. They're no better than other Divisi...

Great.

Iowa loses. Now we'll be not only outclassed, but playing a ticked off Iowa team as well. This could be ugly.

Very ugly.

I'll bite. What'd he say? And, yes, Iowa will light us up. I'm thinkingn 48-0. Maybe 55-3. I wasn't attempting to go fishing with that post...apologies if it came across that way. That said, his response was essentially: - He'd hope that alums would support the program no matter what - He noted tha...

I am not saying Fire Brew, but I am sorry this isnt about a tough schedule taking them down this is a mediocre team playing mediocre. I am. Seriously...just keeping it non-hockey here, take a look at the BB program's record vs that of the FB program. Tubby and Brewster have been at the U for the sa...

What an inspiring win. It was! It inspired me to send an email to Maturi asking him to fire Brewster. A strong football program is a big help when it comes to keeping alumni involved in the school. We have anything but right now. The bottom line is that it comes down to coaching. Brewster is a heck...

Here's another dumb question... What ever happened to standards in the wear of numbers? Back in the stone ages known as the 1980s, there were norms for the wear of numbers. 0-19...QB, K, P 20-49...RB, FB, S, CB 50-59...OL, LB 60-69...OL, DL 70-79...OL, DL, DE 80-89...WR, TE 90-99...DL and sometimes ...

Pretty much every college football program doubles up on numbers. Most have more than 100 players on their roster, so unless they start issuing triple digit numbers or start getting sponsored by radio stations, they're going to have to double up numbers with offensive and defensive players. Yes, I ...

Is it really up to the football coaches or athletic directors of cities of 80,000+ people whether they have one high school or two? Or is it up to taxpayers/residents/voters who have less of a vested interest in high school football and more of an interst in their own pocketbook? Do they vote on fo...

Without getting political.... Eric Holder announces the 9/11 co-conspirators will be tried in civilian court. The only thing I don't like about this is that it will become a media circus.

Post deleted.

I'm not enough of an NFL fan to bother looking it up, but aren't Cutler's TD/INT stats not that far off from Farve's in just about any given season in his prime?

Only morons in a Podunk, uneducated piece of crap state like Mississippi would pull something like that. (no I am not kidding...I find that as offensive as when the spoiled brats from Edina threw bagels on the ice at a hockey game against St. Louis Park when I was in middle school) That is about th...

True, Texas does play a fairly soft NC schedule annually. But I don't fault SEC or Big 12 teams for soft schedules out of conference because their conferences are so strong (though I don't feel the Big 12 is that good this year). Arizona is a good win for Iowa but the rest are pretty much cupcakes....

They just opened up a Jimmy John's in San Antonio...and I've not been there yet.

Are they as good as advertised?

Better than Potbelly or Firehouse?

I still can't get over the fact that our beloved Jup is a Mankato State alum and never attended the U.
