M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A!
MINNESOTA! MINNESOTA... ****, I don't remember the rest of it lol. I can always take pride in my beloved Gohpers for about 2-3 cupcake games they play at the beginning of the year... and then the Big Ten schedule starts and they get put in their place.

Next Saturday they play Cal, at Cal. All the Minnesota fans were expecting the Gophers to get worked by Cal before Cal played Tennessee. Now there's some optimism that maybe Minnesota will play Cal tough. As a life-long Gophers fan, so in turn, a life-long pessimist, think that Cal gettin beat down like that by Tennessee could be the worst thing that could happen for Minnesota.Cal is gonna be hungry to take that loss out on on someone.

If the Gophers keep it within 3 touchdowns next week, I'll be a happy camper. Minnesota is the only place where their fans can be happy with a 7-5 record lol. Why? Because it's better than all the 3-8 records they had before Glen Mason become coach.

Just shows how smart the Bama boys are that you direct that comment to a guy whose name refers to Notre Dame!

Hey, at least we won yesterday. I'm thinking 3-9 this year. Oh, how fast we fall.

Bama won yesterday too you gelded fruitloop
and both myself and ddthetide said we'd win, but not cover
and so would the Irish, unlike all of you ND buffoons
who picked them to win by multiple TDs
the Irish will be so horrific this year
they'll refer to the potato famine as the "the good times"
they'll wish they hadn't have run off the black guy, and paint "Touchdown Jesus" in black-face to try to get him to return
they'll wish they Ron Powlus still the QB instead of Brady Quinn
they'll give Charlie Weis an exist similar to how the Russians finally rid themselves of Rasputin

Coach.

Send the yellow jackets to a watery grave?
Damn... that is just bad.

What the heck does a Red Tide (a poisonous) algal bloom have to do with pachyderms? Elephants and algae. War Eagles and Tigers. What the heck is the mix up in the state of Alabama? How come teams are allowed to have like 5 mascots, and some can be nasty microscopic organisms?

Well, I'm not sure about auburn, nor do I care. Alabama's varsity squad was known as the "Crimson White" (their jersey color) but a Birmingham sports writer said before an auburn game, the players looked like a "Sea of Crimson" rushing into the stadium and the nickname, The Crimson Tide, was born. The Elephant was also attributed to a sports writer from Atlanta, as UA was playing Ole Miss, and he stated it felt like the earth was trembling as the "Red Elephants" stormed in. The names stuck. As for the fight song, well, most are dated, it is what it is, but still gets my heart pumping everytime I hear it.

Man, you really aren't doing yourself any favors.

*I'm* the Husky. The *other* Irish is the ND fan. That's twice that you can't keep us straight.

'Bama: we can win, we just can't read the score!

USC is the best team in the land! Last time I rooted for my school (UW) was in 2001. One time my 3rd year during the Apple Cup weekend, I wore a WSU sweater to classes...STUPID MOVE!!

[irishtrekker]

You're serious...you quit rooting for us as soon as we weren't winning any more national titles?

Man, what kind of Dawg are you??? And you wore a WAZZU shirt during Cup week??? Let me guess: b-ball team didn't make the radar until after we made the dance a couple of times.

Sheesh. <paw over nose in shame>

well I tried to walk on the football team in 2001, and went to open tryouts for basketball in 2002. I didnt have time for the bowling program that was started in 2003. So Husky athletics leave a sour taste in my mouth...lol

I was on the old board, too -- I'm Irish American and I like to travel. At the time, it worked. Sorry if I messed you up!
