Excel Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 "The University of Minnesota's 5,500 incoming freshmen attended a mandatory rally with Gophers football coach Jerry Kill on Friday, Aug. 31. They were all given free tickets to the home opener against New Hampshire on Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium." 1 Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Get 'em in the stadium to see a win and to rub shoulders with season ticket holders, and maybe they'll come back next week. Seems reasonable, but it's embarrassing that we have to resort to that. Our hockey team is more popular right now than our football team. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Our hockey team is more popular right now than our football team In all fairness they probably should be, being College Hockey royalty and all. That would only be a bad thing if the Gophers sucked at Hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hey, the stadium was nearly full, the student section was packed and loud, my team won a game decisively for a change...things are looking up. What's that? The Huskers lost? The Big Ten sucks? This might be our year! Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Selling those tickets is getting easier and easier...3-0 with a couple of winnable games (Syracuse and Iowa) coming up, the student section is getting filled - the Gophers are no longer struggling to sell tickets.

OH HSKR FAN Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Kill is a good hire. Is Dave Winfield the best athlete to ever play for the Gophers? Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Dave Winfield was one of the best ever to play anywhere - he was Bo Jackson before Bo Jackson. Of course we also had Bronko Nagurski, Paul Giel, and many other stellar athletes. Someday when you have a week to kill I'll tell you about it. Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Things are looking pretty good for my Gophers tonight. We sold out, we're 4-0 with a lousy Iowa team coming up. We won't overlook the hogeyes, though. The coolest traveling trophy in college football is in play! http://wwwsportnamic...of-rosedale.jpg Quote Link to comment
WoodyHayes1951 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Congrats dude. Good luck vs Iowa. Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Under protest, because nobody here is a prophet. Speaking in general terms I'd predict 5 or 6 wins, with 4 being disappointing and 7 being greater-than-expected progress. August 30 - at UNLV - WIN Sept 8 - New Hampshire at home - WIN Sept 15 - Western Michigan at home - LOSE Sept 22 - Syracuse at home - WIN Sept 29 - at Iowa - LOSE Oct 13 - Northwestern at home - WIN Oct 20 - at Wisconsin - LOSE Oct 27 - Purdue at home - LOSE Nov 3 - Michigan at home - LOSE Nov 10 - at Illinois - WIN Nov 17 - at Nebraska - LOSE Nov 24 - Michigan State at home - LOSE That gets me to 5 wins. I think I'm being conservative here. Looking good...for now. No way they beat Syracuse, they have a lot of people back from an average team last year including nassib, one of the better big east qbs Hey mister "no way they beat Syracuse," we got to 5 wins today with 4 left. I'm not bragging, because I know what my team is, but I'm encouraged. Six or more is to be expected now. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Ah you got me there. I thought Syracuse wouldn't be Sh**y. Clearly went wrong there. Quote Link to comment
mrandyk Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 What do you know? Minnesota is going bowling this year, with two games to go even. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ah you got me there. I thought Syracuse wouldn't be Sh**y. Clearly went wrong there. Hey Syracuse beat Louisville. So that means a team near the bottom in the Big Ten can beat the best team in the Big East, right? Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 All in all, I guess it means things are looking up for Minnesota. Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Seven or eight wins in 2013 for Minnesota. Quote Link to comment
