It is mostly up to team fans to post game week threads on their team. I know you're new here, but that's normally how it works.
:57:
True. Or I could go post in game week threads from 2 and 3 games ago/ just to keep them up there.  Or create a “season “ thread and post in it every time I see a stat that is positive.  Lol

Season threads seem to mostly go to negative news, like out for season, or Cephus sues University of Wisconsin (for realz - not posted there yet - waiting on another team fan to do it for me).

Start a thread at your own risk.

Someone is bound to be all like "such and such usually starts this thread" or "you aren't supposed to start this thread yet" or " this should have gone in that other thread" and so forth.

Ohio State leads the all time series 45-7.

Each of the Gophers' last four victories were against four different OSU coaches: Cooper, Bruce, Hayes and Fesler.

In fairness to the Gophers, the two teams didn't play much prior to 1965.
This is just astounding to me.  The Gophers were a charter member of the league and the Buckeyes joined for the 1913 season so from 1913-2017 these two teams were in the same league for 105 yet only played 52 times.  
As you pointed out, most of this is due to rarely playing from 1913-1964.  In those first 52 seasons of both being in the same league the teams only played 10 times.  
This also REALLY hurts Minnesota's all-time record against the Buckeyes because the Gophers were a whole lot better relative to the Buckeyes in the early days, particularly pre-WWII.  Those first ten games:
  • Ohio State won in Columbus, 1921:  tOSU led 1-0
  • Minnesota won in Minneapolis, 1922:  series tied 1-1
  • Minnesota won in Minneapolis, 1931:  MN led 2-1
  • Ohio State won in Minneapolis, 1939:  series tied 2-2
  • Minnesota won in Columbus, 1940:  MN led 3-2
  • Ohio State won in Columbus, 1944:  tied 3-3
  • Ohio State won in Minneapolis, 1945:  tOSU led 4-3
  • Ohio State won in Columbus, 1946:  tOSU led 5-3
  • Minnesota won in Columbus, 1949:  tOSU led 5-4
  • Ohio State won in Minneapolis, 1950:  tOSU led 6-4
The two teams did not play each other in any of the next 14 season (1951-1964).  From 1965-2017 (53 years) the teams played regularly (42 games) with Ohio State holding a commanding 39-3 edge of 19-2 in Minneapolis and 20-1 in Columbus.

Yeah, I imagine it was mostly due to geography. Not sure when commercial airlines became commonplace, but that would have been a pretty brutal train or bus ride. 

Especially since freeways weren't really around back then. Imagine driving from Minneapolis to Columbus on State Routes? The horror.

I wouldn't mind seeing a breakdown like that for UW/UM on the game thread for same, if you have time. I think it's very similar, and both are charters*.

That was my first thought.  Imagine that had to be the longest train ride in the 9/10 member days

Yeah, in the early days it took OSU two days to get up to Ohio Wesleyan by horseback. 
Now the suburban sprawl goes up that far, and people regularly make that commute to and from work.

Ha. But seriously no one said he doesn't ever throw the ball 20+ yards in the air. It was merely pointed out that when he does, his completion percentage is not one of the top few in the conference.
Is this where I post about OSU’s robust YAC numbers? As they are most robust.

So just an honest question.  As a Gopher fan how long do other schools see the Gophers not competing.  We have not really been relevant since Lou Holtz and that was a 2 year flirt

I don't know. I mean you are 1 home coach hire away from being relevant. I can already say I'm not sure the boat rower is the guy.

How do we mean competing? Like, if they get Glen Mason good for a while then build on it, that might work. If you mean become a division contender, they don’t have that far to go at the moment, but they’d have to beat Nebraska to the punch (gawd the division is thin right now)
At the moment they went with a talent acquirer over a scheme guy. That’s a swig for a higher ceiling.
