  • Gopher football insight you can’t find anywhere else

    I love this podcast, thoughtful breakdowns of the team, updates on recruiting and recaps. So much better than what you get from the quacks who are on AM radio for a reason.

  • Free play

    Home cooking for the Huskers continued on Saturday when, with 1:29 left in the game and Nebraska out of Time Outs, they ran a play where the clock DID NOT START!!!!

    It appeared that neither the officials NOR Gophers coaches etc. noticed!
