As Closures Continue Amid Outbreak, Liberty University Welcomes Thousands Of Students Back To Campus

Welp. Thoughts and prayers, I guess.

Fun idea for a thread! 1) Born/raised in St. Cloud, MN...but was never a SCSU fan, even when Herb came up to coach. Fond memories of playing knee hockey in the hallway with my kid brother. I grew up idolizing Robb Stauber. The memory of the Harvard game still hurts all these years later... :chainsaw...

Just curious - do the grocery stores in the US use floor stickers as a visual cue? We've had these for over a week now, I've never seen anyone not use them in our local grocery stores and/or bakeries...

On a lighter note, if PSU does ban fans/students from attending the game, that would decidedly work in our favor. Since, you know, we're used to playing in an empty arena.

/sad clown horn

The team will be getting permission to wear their golds at PSU... EDIT : TRY TO GET PERMISSION This is a major FAIL by someone on the Gophers staff. Asking for permission? EFF THAT. Lack of vision here. I would've just done it - bring ONLY those gold Woog jerseys with zero backup uniforms available...

The floor in Williams Arena is raised because it's built directly atop an old Ojibwe burial mound.

CHANGE MY MIND.

I hope the recent surge means more people inside Mariucci. Even though attendance was still relatively low against the nuts the atmosphere was more fun than it had been recently. The recent surge means my posts are imbued with magical qualities. The team is UNDEFEATED since I made an impassioned pl...

The kid who scored the game winning goal in our first natty since the 70s was not a Minnesota kid.

The kid who sent it into OT was.

I could do this all day. #CaptainAmerica

I think it comes down to this -- Would you as fans rather have the Woog years of winning lots of games, but not the National Championship or Would you rather have the early Lucia years with 95% Mn kids and a couple of high end out of staters and a title. I remember the last few years of Woog, the f...

After reading through the many Woog tributes, I had an “a-ha!” moment after reading Vegoe’s article on the Athletic ([phenomenal *free* article, btw – click and read if you haven’t alreadyl!)

Also, looking ahead, we open 2021 against Ohio State on a Thursday? What the heck?
Gotta have the two premiere teams of the Big10 opening the season with a bang!

Re-match of the previous season’s B1G championship game. I’m thinking Game Day already.

Someone ( Boudreau maybe?) wrote down the wrong players on the official lineup card, so Pateryn can't play and is pulled off the bench. Donato may be listed and not sure if he is allowed to come out of the press box. Typical Wild. Edit-- Donato came down from press box and is now dressed on the ben...

Undefeated against Auburn and Alabama.

The Gophers have received a commitment from Australian punter Mark Crawford. Crawford is the top international punter in Ray Guy’s ProKicker Camp rankings. His 49.86 average distance was the best mark among all punters in the database. When applying the statistic to this year’s NCAA rankings, Crawfo...

Hard to find college hockey on the pirated feed I get here in Germany. Mainly metric football, American football, and random sports are on tap. Only pro hockey is available for the most part. Apparently it’s not as difficult to watch US college hockey from the Philippines? Here’s the feed I use: htt...

UMD national championship team two years ago had 10 freshmen and 7 sophomores. Being young is an okay excuse for not contending but it's a BS excuse for not being any good. And they lost 5 of their top 6 scorers from the previous season as well as their starting goalie. This year I’ve noticed other...

It's a whole new team. Give it time to gel. Patience is a virtue. Every team in the country has a new roster this season. What makes Minny’s situation so special that we need additional time to ‘gel’? Honest question - I haven’t watched/followed the team for months. Was there a mass exodus or somet...

Change your best, people. 12-0 or GTFO.

But seriously, let yesteryear’s paradigm fall by the wayside. Our players sure have. #RTB

# of 4- & 5-star recruits:

Ohio State 59
Wisconsin 9

But then that 3-loss WI team with two big losses will have beat us by 21 (in our house). So, then what? If WI killed us and OSU killed them, why would the Rose want us any more? Because they love money and don't care about rankings? People are pole-vaulting over mouse$#1t here (and on other website...

I'd love to think it's possible, but I just don't see a Rose Bowl this season. We'll be the 4th ranked B1G team in the CFP: 1) OSU 2) WI /. PSU 3) PSU/WI 4) MN To me that's just too far down to over come (maybe if we were 3rd). I think it will be: OSU to CFP, PSU to Rose, WI to Citrus, and MN to Ou...

I thought the Rose Bowl was free to choose whomever they wanted? If the B1G champion is in the CFP, then yes they can pick whoever they want. Edit: from the source Should a team from the Big Ten or Pac-12 be selected to go to the College Football Playoff, the Tournament of Roses will traditionally ...

I love this team, I love PJ, I absolutely loved this season (and we still have one more game!) Seriously - we were picked by 'experts' to finish 6th in the West, and then on the final week of the regular season we're 1) hosting Gameday, 2) playing a game to determine if we represent the West in the ...

I thought the Rose Bowl was free to choose whomever they wanted?

Hypothetical- WI gets boat-raced by aOSU...say 52-10. Do we have an outside shot at a Rose Bowl bid? Lie to me if you must.

Oh. My. Parise.

A lot of time left. Right?

Time to abandon the run. #Panic

Plenty of time to row.

We score a FG, I leave to attend to a sick child, I sit back down just in to me to see a BADger sprint into the end zone. Wtf?

I want to see where this program is in 2 years - when the nearly 15+ total Fr. and So. are Jr. and Sr., along with what looks like some very solid recruits coming in.

I even deleted all but 3 PMs, but still no dice?

Youth is fine but Grant hasn’t proven nearly enough to get the keys to this program.

Counterpoint: He’s done a helluva lot more than Brooks did before he was given a shot, that’s for darn sure.

Not to be a devil's advocate, but if they were planning on giving him the keys don't you think he would have been the coach picked when Don retired? If “they” = “Nanne”, then the decision proves he’s just human who is capable of making poor decisions from time to time. The Motzko hire would be one ...

If he doesn't make the tournament next year or the year after, the conversation will be started and warranted and he could be out. bring on GUENTZEL I don’t think another boomer pushing 60 will solve our problems.

So how much more rope do we give Motzko before his seat gets warm? Not saying we should fire him, just asking what the tolerance threshold is. If we finish ____ in the B1G standings or ______, then ________.

I blame Steph(‘s absence).

Does anyone know the general area on where to rent the seatbacks for the bleacher seats?

I get the feeling that the majority of people sitting in the bleachers will be standing for most of the game (similar to the PSU game?)

Little things are big things. Like simply saying “thank you”.

I have been very impressed with #88, Brevyn Spann Ford's blocking. For a kid who was a WR at SC Tech he has added a LOT of muscle and is just destroying people. Good job Brev! I’ve been telling friends this since about game #4 or 5. His improvement throughout the season is amazing. Unsung hero of t...

The social media team needs to change their best and release new hype videos every day.

I’d rather be the underdog in this game. Play with a chip.

I get it - people are aroused with the granddaddy of em all, the Rose Bowl. But if we go to the playoffs - even if we lose lopsidedly in the first round - do you people understand what that means for recruiting? Wake up!!! Neither Becky nor the Chickenhawks have sniffed the playoffs. Making an appea...

Damn, nice kick by the commies.

I saw that! 62-yarder to end the half. And the kid usually just handles kickoffs?! Good for him. I still hope/think Purdue will make em sweat until the end (and hopefully pulls it out in the end!)

:lol: My turn! I also don’t care at all about Gameday, but I feel this weird urge to post how I don’t care about it. Also, I don’t care about the NBA, rugby, the vegan movement, and mixed martial arts fighting. Indian food, crafting, the British royal family, miniature wargaming, and spelunking also...

That fans hate-watch Alabama doesn't mean they won't pay attention otherwise, and I didn't watch the NC game last year for the first time because I was bored with the matchup. Minnesota will never match Alabama don't get me wrong - but don't tell me people won't watch them as evidenced by the ratin...

And Kirk? LOL. There’s a raging debate within that fan base about him, as most know. My take: they should poll non-Iowa fans about whether they want Kirk to stay or go as their head coach. My vote goes to him staying, because his ceiling is lower than the ceiling our new culture brings to the table...

I’ve been spending waaaaay too much time reading articles and watching videos/player interviews this past week. Not that I haven’t been doing so in the past, but with each victory the habit is becoming worse (and I love it!) All that said, I’m seeing a beat-down here by the Gophers in Iowa City. Our...

I respectfully disagree with Handy. The REAL question is this:

If Minnesota wins the B1G title game against PSU, should the band play the Battle Hymn of the Republic with the fans doing the SWEEP chant?

To win, Iowa has to score their season-high coupled with the Gophers being held to a ...
