Mason had a big one too back in the day.  It was against Penn St if I remember right.  I can't, for the life of me, remember his name but the WR that got drafted by the Ravens made a huge play at the end and we kicked a GW FG.

Seems like that was in 1999. Correct? Or am I going too far back? I seem to remember watching that one in my apartment in Bemidji. Penn State #2 in the country at the time? That's how I remember it anyway.


Not sure about the year either but PSU being #2 sounds right.  It was a massive win, I remember that much.  The only one close to that, that I can remember was Mason telling Rhys Lloyd "don't forget the axe". 


Remember after the PSU win they beat OSU but then lost to Indiana the following week

I was right...it was 1999. Just heard Mackey and Judd talk about it this morning. Mackey claims that win was bigger than a win tomorrow vs. OSU would be. I disagree. I think a win tomorrow would be bigger. It would give us a legitimate chance to win the West and get into the B10 Championship Game.

I have a bad feeling.  Too many "good feelings" being thrown around.  My MN sports defense RADAR is buzzing at an alarming rate.

Helluva weekend for the U of M athletic program.
Espn is treating us like we belong, almost.
There's a crack in the window, will be interesting to see what we do with it.


Excellant point. We need to grab the bull by the horns and win both contests. That would be huge for recruiting

I'll say it right now.
We find a way to beat OSU Saturday?
It'll be easily the biggest win in my lifetime.
That's why it seems highly unlikely.
OSU is on a mission, and is loaded with young talent. This isn't a struggling Buckeye program, like could be said of some other struggling "powers".
Beating Nebraska now, isn't that impressive. Beating Michigan now, isn't impressive at all.
Beating THIS OSU team would mean we are relevant. For the first time in a very very long time.

Remember, the field now has heating coils thanks to the Vikings.

Unless it is windy up there today. Anyone know the forecast or walk out on the porch?

13 here this morning but no wind and doesn't feel cold. Going to go split wood for a bit.

Kids are kids. I can only imagine there is going to be a natural letdown for Ohio State after beating Michigan State. I expect it to be a competitive game.

Being a lifelong Gopher fan I expect a humiliating loss. It comes with 45 years of experience.

Anybody know the last time the Gophers beat a top-10 team?

I see my 2 favorites getting beat by Ohio State and Wisconsin.

Terrible Defense on that play. The LB took himself out of the play and we still should have tackled him before the gain got huge.

That may be true, but he's on a roll and Michigan State couldn't begin to limit him either. This guy is a flat out stud.
