Every claim PRIOR to that one.

I asked you to point out where I lied before and you never obliged. Why is that? Is it because you couldn't? That is what I suspect. I could be wrong, you could just be too lazy to look?

@Boglodyte caught another of your lies in this very thread in post #43.

That wasn't a lie. At worst, maybe a little of an exaggeration.

Several former Gophers were named to the NFL All-Decade team of the 70s, and one of those guys got named to the 1980s All-Decade team. He was making All-Star games in 1982, including making 1st team accolades from both of the major awarders.

And then I mentioned how a couple guys were still playing into the 80s. Keith Fahnhorst was playing at the same time as Bell, Eller, Gillingham, Kramer, Sanders, Stein, Sunde, Williams, and Wright(1974) and was named All-Pro in 83, 84 & 85 and he, Upchurch, Grant & Mecklenburg were all playing together(Grant was coaching) in 1983 and Karl did the same in 86, 87 and 89.

So 1983, when Upchurch retired, to 2021 is within that 30-40 year time frame I mentioned, just barely, but 3 of those 4 were still in the NFL in 1985, so now you are talking well within that 30-40 year range.

Spoken like a true liar.

23 Gophers made All-Pro from 1968 to 1979. 6 more made it from 1982 to 1987.

No one cares about your "accomplishments" from people who LEFT Minnesota.

How is getting drafted by a professional team located outside of Minnesota equal having "left" Minnesota? lol

You are doing the desperate loser thing again.

You do realize that is what colleges do, right? They train up/teach students who after their done there, move on and out into the world. Or maybe you don't?

You know how many states can play the 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon? I’m thinking somewhere around 50.

Who's playing 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon?

Player X played for School Y and went on to do Action Z after leaving School Y. That simple.


Example. Hundreds of people played football for the University of Minnesota, and after leaving the school went on to play in the NFL, and 22 of those people were named All-Pro 78 times.


Simple.

Gopher fans should start a thread with Husky fans to bounce ideas on how to cope.

Calm down, everyone knows Bowling Green is a top 20 program all time. No shame in losing to them, pretty sure a Bowling Green alum invented breathing.
