10 Years
I attended part one of my 10 year high school reunion tonight. It was great. I saw so many people I haven’t seen since my high school graduation. People that I haven’t even thought about since then. Everyone was very friendly and having a great time. There were some folks missing, but overall a lot of great folks showed up. Tomorrow is part two, a BBQ at a local park. It’s...

Go Gophers!
Just got back from a mediocre Gopher loss. We had the Golden Bears on their heels into the fourth quarter but couldn’t close the deal. Turning point was a crappy penalty on the Bears that actually helped them. Rather than taking a sack and punting on 4th down, they had a false start and replayed 3rd down which they converted. Oh and also, Weber threw and inopportune interception as we...

RANKED!
The Gophers are tied for 42nd in the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll! Go Gophers! It’s a small ray of sunshine, but it’s sunshine nonetheless. BTW, Cal, our next opponent is ranked 8th and 7th in the respective polls.

TCF Bank Stadium - First Thoughts
1. The first game at “The Bank” was great, albeit nerve racking. But as we learned last week, a win’s a win.
2. The old man over my right shoulder is hella annoying. He bitched about everything. He complained that the concourses were too crowded and actually said he wanted to go back to the Metrodome. He complained that the stairways in the stands were too narrow. He also...

Will President Obama stick around for the game? →
Wouldn’t that be awesome. But I bet he’s required to root for the service academies.

Tailgating for the first Gopher football game on campus in over 30 years or attending President Obama’s rally on health care at the Target Center?

I didn’t realize until very very recently that having Obama address the children of the nation was such an issue. Thinking back to my own high school years, this can’t be any worse that letting us skip gym class my ninth grade year to watch the OJ Simpson verdict.

– Big Ten - ESPN
This goes to show you that Tim Brewster is a hell of a nice guy. Yet to be proven if he’s much of a football coach, but I suspect this year we’ll find out how it all comes together.

Best case-worst case: Minnesota →
I love Adam’s best case for Minnesota and I shudder at his worst case. In my opinion I think the Gophers win against Syracuse and Air Force, not easily but convincingly. Cal is a different story and I think we would be lucky to escape with a victory, although I think this will be a fairly close game. I pray to God that Northwestern and Wisconsin is a different story from last year and I...
