A true moment of pride for Gopher Nation. Ranked #5 in ESPN's Bottom 10.

I always looked at these and worried that one day we'd be there, and the end would be near.
So here we are. We "made" it.
As bad as we have been, it's never been this obvious and embarassing, nation-wide.

That was 1977.

Who would have thought 33 years later that was maybe the high point of following Gopher Football for me.

Back then Northwestern was the dregs....everybody's Homecoming Game opponent.

We have now become the laughingstock of the Big 10.

Embarassing.

Mark Carlson had a great day. I remember our entire family was working on the harvest, and we were all just giddy about it, everyone had the radios blaring and we kept saying ... "I can't believe we're gonna win this thing".
Great memories of that day.

Look at the Gophers' record right now and you will have to agree that it was indeed a tough schedule for the Gophers.

It is possible to win at the 'smaller' Big 10 schools.

Amazing. Even more amazing when you figure in we're second in the nation in Time of Possession.

How about now?  21-14 Gophs. 

Weber is having by far his best passing game of the year.  Where has THIS guy been for the last 20 or so games?  Even the deep incompletions were spot on.

Big question now is if Brewster can match NW's halftime adjustments and keep it going.
