October 28, 20197 yr 8-0 Gophers vs. 8-0 Penn State. 11 AM CT on ABC. Most important game at TCF Bank Stadium since Blair Walsh shanked a 27 yard FG in the NFC Divisional Round playoffs.

November 5, 20197 yr Is it too early to talk about this game? If I was still in the twin cities I'd pony up the money to see it. Might be the only game in TCF history to be worth the price of admission.
November 5, 20197 yr I hope we win because I plan on posting on FB: WE ARE .... THE GOLDEN GOPHERS! I have several Penn Staters in my feed.
November 5, 20197 yr I hope we win because I plan on posting on FB: WE ARE .... THE GOLDEN GOPHERS! I have several Penn Staters in my feed. I'm still a fan of two responses to Penn State fans (and if JoePa had called me earlier in my senior year, I very well would have been at Penn State, so it comes from a place of pseudo-love): We are... Dan Nystrom The second one would require moderation on this board, and it's been shown to be something that happens in the Gophers athletics department as well (not coaches with boys, but inappropriate and/or undesired sexual contact all the same), so that one I've let fall by the wayside. A true Nittany Lion fan that has been a fan for a while when hearing the name Dan Nystrom will often curl into a ball, chanting odd phrases like "jump higher Arringon! Jump higher!" I was able to be on the field for that game and the Ohio State upset the next season. While being in a player/family section when the axe was won for the first time in a while was probably #2, the Penn State victory was by far my favorite Gopher football game I've attended.
November 5, 20197 yr PJ Fleck agrees to an extension through the 2026 season. Couldn't be happier. Row The Boat!
November 5, 20197 yr PJ Fleck agrees to an extension through the 2026 season. Couldn't be happier. Row The Boat! Sadly, this only means that an NFL team or Florida State/Ohio State/Notre Dame level school will have to make an even bigger offer to lure him away, not that he's locked in. It also means that if things go bad, the Gophers have now locked themselves into 6 years of paying for a coach that could be coaching elsewhere.

November 5, 20197 yr I'm ok with the extension. Team looks better every week. PJ seems to be a guy that is committed to positive impacts on the lives of his athletes and those in the community. His shtick can cause people to roll their eyes, but I think he's authentic. He'll be able to recruit solid coaches and high level kids no matter where he is. Minnesota could do much worse than PJ. At the worst, he is Pat Fitzgerald, the best, Dabo Sweeney. Edited November 5, 20197 yr by Badsmerf
November 6, 20197 yr Your oars are nowhere near the water. I had good friends who were part of the Gopher basketball program during the Clem fallout...and he was still getting paid. I saw coaches that worked hard on my behalf lose their jobs with Mason, and he still got paid. These things happen at a big-time school. Nothing wrong with having an idea of reality while also celebrating possibility.
November 8, 20197 yr Less than 24 hours away. So pumped for this game. I hope it is an awesome atmosphere, and Fleck has some big time recruits attending.

November 8, 20197 yr Chief Jr II and his totally awesome girlfriend will be in attendance at TCF. SKI-U-MAH!
November 9, 20197 yr I'm going to be at the game... I don't care that much about Gophers football, but at least this is a big game. I don't think the Gophers are going to win, being that they haven't beat any good teams yet, but I'm willing to give them a chance.
November 9, 20197 yr Row the boat!!!Following only by the scoreboard, but I'm not thinking either side should be doing too much trash talking about the other's defense, quite yet.
November 9, 20197 yr Following only by the scoreboard, but I'm not thinking either side should be doing too much trash talking about the other's defense, quite yet.Gophers having trouble stopping the run so far. D line really getting owned.
November 9, 20197 yr Stop running and keep throwing the ball. Penn State has no answer for Johnson and Bateman.
November 9, 20197 yr Bateman 7 catches 203 yards through 3 quarters... I think he is the most talented player to wear maroon and gold since Laurence Maroney.

Great decisions. Accurate. I guarantee this game turns some pro scouts heads.
November 9, 20197 yr When does Tanner Morgan enter the Heisman race? That dude is the best Minnesota QB I've ever seen. Great decisions. Accurate. I guarantee this game turns some pro scouts heads.This is his statement game for sure. No doubt the best QB possibly in my lifetime for the Gophers. But that's not saying much. Abdul-Khaliq was the high mark before.
November 9, 20197 yr Yikes, when it's unanimous on Twitter that PSU should not have scored that TD due to delay of game, it's a bad, bad call.
