I know Rolling Stone has their "Top 100 Drummers" list and accordingly Neil is in the top 5 on that list. When it comes to bands and the musicians within a band drummers are where my focus always goes. I love hearing the drums in a song. Probably my honest to god first band that drew me to listening...

RIP Neil Peart

Finally listened to the podcast. You guys really went down the rabbit hole of talking about hockey in Iowa?! :lol: I know, you were just covering all the college hockey topics. I agree with @Vegoe that it will take a BIG donor to make it happen even with the arena already being built. Then the big q...

Wins are wins...it's that simple. You even have to beat the bad teams to get a win. I'm kind of surprised by some of the comments in this entire thread by some pretty loyal people but whatever. The Gophers got two wins vs. in-state rivals so I pretty effing happy about that. I don't think this is th...

Okay, so Tom and Jerry's are an acquired taste.

I want the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL footage. I think there were two stages of added footage, and the first stage, shrug, ok, I'll accept it, but not prefer it. I think they added more after that, though.

The Minnesota State Mavs football team played in the D2 national championship game on Saturday in McKinney, Texas. They last played in the chip in 2014 and lost to Colorado State-Pueblo 13-0 after going undefeated during the season. MSU once again lost in the championship to West Florida, a college ...

All fixed.... should be able to hear the 3 audio clips now.

Now I'm going to have to listen to it again!

It was a great podcast with Frank, I listened to it while traveling back from Memphis. Thanks again Jup for setting that up.

I think we should just put Schierhorn, Wilcox, Patterson, and Robson all on the first team...without them the past decade would have been awful!

As most everyone on here knows my fandom started in the year of Kessel, so Frank and Doug are the voices that I most associate with Gopher hockey. Now I can recall any Woogism that stood out more than another but I just remember feeling the love of Gopher hockey from Woog during the broadcast. Wooge...

I do know something about the situation at Crookston, thru a friend who is a retired coach. Tough place to field a competative team. Local kids who are talented enough go to go to Grand Forks or Fargo. The next level go to the NSIC & Bemidji, Minot, UMD. Recruiting out of state or area means a Gran...

The only stationary bike I would want would be an old Schwinn Airdyne. Maybe because of the nostalgia of it after spending hours and hours on one back in the day when I wrestled in high school and college.

KISS Alive is hailed as one of, if not, the best live rock album of all time. I disagree and say that Iron Maidens Rock in Rio is the superior. Fight me! I've never had the privilege to listen to Iron Maiden's Rock in Rio but I would not doubt that it is killer. I think the thing with Kiss Alive is...

Can't say enough "Thank you's!" to Hammy for the knowledge he has shared on here over the years and also his contributions to the podcast. We already miss him posting here on the board but now his absence will be felt on the podcast. Thank you again Hammy for sharing the love for the Gophers with th...

I was talking with my boss who was in Duluth this past weekend for the series and we both agree that McKay is good enough to help MSU make a deep run and the senior leadership on this Mav team will help them as well. I would have to defer to Bale about whether the Mav nation feels confident beyond t...

Hey @g-manpuck that was a nice win yesterday. I am certainly no Iowa fan but it was really enjoyable to see them stick a dagger in Nebraska's season. Good luck bowling! It is nice to stick it to Nebraska, of course this Iowa team couldn't do it any other way than by the hair of their chin. Keith Du...

At least your picker has a connection to your team. I am still perplexed why they chose to use Eric Church in Ames earlier this season, absolutely zero connection to the state or either team. I know...I know...who cares about Iowa. But really though, Decker is a great choice.

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 ________. To me the assistants seats will warm up way before Bob's does. I would have loved to see wh...

Since I wasn't at the game I'm not going to add to the dogpile that is going on already. I am glad that no one...at least that Jup has let through anyway, complained about Bob or blaming this loss on Bob. Ben Gordon's interview at the end of the second intermission kind of says where the state of mi...

Mankato got a solid 8" I would say and like Viking said it's that heavy heart attack snow. I got to work just as our snowplow guy started so it worked out to shovel by the doors and have him push it away from there instead of coming in to work having a pile in front of each door. A couple of our wel...

I don't want to place this in the Gopher season thread where this discussion is taking place but I want to reference the attendance here in Mankato. I do think price plays a huge part in attendance because with game tickets here in Mankato at $18 they are putting an average of 4,000 in the arena mos...

Fans can do what they want...I will only judge them when they bring it up. If they dont care about the team or the Big Ten they dont have to...then shut up about it already and go away. Oh and make sure when the team is good again to remember that we wont forget :) It's funny though....I'm not sure...

Why would 11-2 and OSU winning out not get them the Rose Bowl? It doesn't make sense for Minnesota to NOT get the Rose Bowl if both Penn State and them finish 10-2. Minnesota will have two wins vs. teams in the top 12 whereas Penn State will have only two wins vs. teams ranked 16 and 17 at the time...

I really liked the podcast with Carman, he did a pretty good job giving his view which as an alumni is an important view to hear from. I look forward to more of these quick shift podcasts...great job Jup!

I'm as surprised as anyone, I did not think that Iowa had it in them to go out and win this game. I'll admit that I didn't watch any of the first three quarters because I'm one of those superstitious fans that doesn't watch a game if it is going my teams way. I got my notifications of the first two ...

This is as confident as I've ever witnessed this fanbase being about any game vs. Iowa that I can recall. In years past you guys would have been typing furiously about this game and now this thread is siderailed into a discussion about rankings, the SEC, and Alabama rather than the game at hand. Cov...

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...

Just had to laugh that Nate Stanley was not on the Davey O'Brien finalist list after being on the preseason watch list. While Tanner Morgan of Minnesota and Brock Purdy of Iowa State made the list. I thought it was ridiculous to have Stanley on the preseason list and how many pundits think/thought o...

PS - I’m secretly afraid Ferentz and Co use this game to uncork a masterful performance, replete with trick plays and what not (see: OSUs ass kicking in 2017 @ Kinnick) The hope I have against that is Iowa doesn’t have much to play for anymore. They’re season was crushed by Wisconsin last week in a...

Here is my prediction for Saturday, Minnesota wins 27-21. Iowa just doesn't have enough of everything to stay with a good team which Minnesota obviously is and they are improving each week. Iowa's defense has a tough time stopping the pass unless their front four can create havoc because the DB's ar...

My simple pleasure is the person behind my GPL moniker G-man, my son Grant.

My impressions on the Purple Cow vs. Whioux boondoggle here in Mankato last night. Both are really talented, well coached teams. Only had a few moments of idiocy on the ice, pretty much kept to hockey. The game was very fast and both teams moved the puck but I would lean the ice towards the Whioux f...

I didn't think I would ever see a uniform worse than the CC jersey last night and then I flipped over to the PSU-iowa game. It looks like Iowa crapped the bed then used that as a uniform model. It was a update of a failed uniform change back in the 90's. Looked like $h!t back then and looked like $...

Thin Lizzy....the most American non-American bar band....if that makes sense.

Mankato has went to 6:07 pm puck drop for every Saturday home game for the families this season. I will say that I have really enjoyed having it be only 8:30 when the game ends.

Dave Matthews and B.I.G. kind of stump me, to me DM isn't as important as his followers think he is and BIG just doesn't have the catalog to put him in this early...not saying that later on he gets in but not before a lot of others on this list. There are people on this list that influenced people o...

WTH? What road project is going on 35 S north of Albert Lea? And again on 169 near Mankato? We went down to Iowa and in both directions hit single lane traffic, 35 was over 18 miles! Mankato about 15. Now as far as we could tell there was literally nothing going on. No equipment. No tear ups. Nor d...

Just had a brief patch of snow flurries here in Mankato around 7:30 this morning. Now the sun is out...welcome to Minnesota!

My takeaway from Mount Royal here in Mankato last night. Kato looked rusty but MR wasn't the usual overmatched Canadian squad. They were pretty good skaters which kept them in the game. My the end of the 3rd they reverted to the usual Canadian crap that usually always is the undoing to any Canadian ...

I know, I was just making an observation. Nothing I can do about being colorblind either. Might be fine for other types of it, just not for mine. It maybe explains your confusion of wearing Purple & Gold for the Mavericks and Maroon & Gold for the Gophers.... They look identical for you! :biggrin2:...

I wish they would/could keep Sturm and Mayhew up here but I totally get why they are in Iowa. No waivers needed and they deserve to be playing rather than being a player rotated in and out of the line up every game.

It just seems that Rask is going to continually get a pass since he is a $4M a year player and they aren't going to spend that on a player in the AHL. I don't think there has been a more obvious choice for a buyout for the Wild since the inception of this team. Put me in the preposterous statement t...

There is NO good reason for Iowa to rise in the rankings after they have a bye week. Yes I know, to you chuckleheads

Iowa should never rise in the rankings but I don't think any team should rise in the rankings after a bye week.

How traumatic can Iowa really be? It's a vast majority of cornfields and Pizza Ranches. The only thing that leaves you pining for being back in Iowa is driving through the flat abyss that is Nebraska. Iowa at least has hills.

In some areas there are hills.

I had no idea until I just did a two minute Google search about Big Buff. My first thought was "how is he worth that?" And then I saw the stats....I had NO idea his stats were that good.

I don't think any of us can be surprised at the money they gave Jared but the term is what I think most of us are concerned with. But with his style of play he could still be a very effective d-man in 5-6 years that is worth that money. Of course, it's the worry of injury derailing his career that m...
