Meaningless win.

This program is a laughing stock.

It is so cute how MN fans get excited about winning a Big 10 game.

Stay in the top 25, win a Big 10 title or 3 and win a couple Rose Bowls and get back to me.

This program is terrible, no other way to put it.

At least RRR is consistant.............. Consistantly wrong.

I have been right about these meaningless wins.

You and others being so excited about the last two wins is proof how terrible this program is.

How many Big 10 wins do the gophers have in the last 25 years?

Not enough to matter is the answer.

Win a BCS title and get back to me.

Celebrate these meaningless wins and this terrible program.

Just know that it will be decades before The Gophers will be contenders for anything meaningful.

Excellent win and exciting game. Gophers taking some really nice steps this year...a win next week at Indiana would be really nice!!

Indiana was one game I thought would be a pretty sure thing but after the trouble they gave michigan last week it could be interesting

RRR, to you it's a meaningless win but to those young men not far removed from high school it's one of biggest days of their life. I hope if you have or ever have kids in sports they don't have to get back to you when they win the state championship so you don't waste your time on their meaningless games.

How about now bigdave?

How about what?

Yes it was a nice win for the Gophs and a horrible loss for Nebraska. I only watched a quarter or so of the game but the little I was able to see was actually entertaining for once.

I would be more excited about these last 2 wins if the Gophers hadn't laid such rotten eggs against Iowa and Michigan. The fact is, Nebraska has not played anyone of substance yet so there is no telling how bad or good they really are yet.

It's a nice win but in the grand scheme of college football it's still not worth much until you start at least challenging for a division title if not a conference title. I'm certainly not willing to call this win meaningless like RRR because in recruiting terms it could mean a lot.

This was an important game to watch to see the entire evolution of this team under the current coaching regime. Down 10 early and they come back and take a two score lead into half. Defense was inspired. Would have nearly doubled the sacks today if hagemon didn't have those personal foul calls.

Some gutsy play calling and overall very good execution. Several dropped passes had they gone the other way the game would have likely been a 3 TD win.

LOL, You better hope that is not the "entire" evolution of this team. I hate to break it to you, but I don't think they are winning a National Championship this year.

Oh really? Good lord you're no better than RRR.

If you had actually watched this game in entirety and compared the overall play in it to previous games and those from recent coaching staffs you would see without question a big improvement.

Previous teams would have folded when down 10 pts. These kids fought back with some timely play calling and made plays. They didn't play a perfect game and still won. Some, like you, would think the only chance they had is if they played perfect and were playing some pathetic opponent. Nebraska may not be what they once were but still a better team than northwestern and some of the other big ten teams.

I'm not ready to create a bronze bust for every person on the roster but they are a far better team now than when kill took over.

Perhaps you should actually watch them once before commenting? As if winning a national championship is the only measurment for improvement. If that were true 95% of the college teams would be terrible because they never won one

I love the fact that everyone just accepts Gopher mediocrity for the last 30 years. If you are one of the ones who are content year after year becoming bowl eligible by beating up on 4 sub par non conference opponents then eeking out 2 Big 10 wins wherever they can get them then going to the Meinekie car care bowl or the Liberty bowl then be my guest.

I hate to tell you but Brewster had a 6 win season and a 7 win season so technically Kill has not done anything that Brewster didn't do in his time as coach, yet. Hopefully that will change but all I am saying is I haven't seen enough yet to make that determination.

I don't think anyone is saying they're content with the way Gopher football has turned out the past XXX years. I think it's the exact opposite. The fan base has every right to get excited about two quality Big10 wins in a row. Building a program doesn't happen over night...getting the fan base involved again can and will make all the difference in the world.

Let's be honest here...I doubt the goal of Gopher Football is the National Championship...a BCS Bowl game and a Rose Bowl appearance, yes. Both, still likely a ways away. I've said this for a while now...the model for Minnesota to try to replicate is Wisconsin. They've won some conference titles, been to a few Rose Bowl games and generally have a strong program year in and year out. ^^^^This^^^^ is what the fan base of Minnesota wants their program to be.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
