***OFFICIAL INDIANA AT MINNESOTA BIG TEN TEASE PORTION OF THE SCHEDULE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[golf]

First place!

Wonder how long it's been since Gophs could be placed on top line of standings.

 

[stocker08]

Stop the count!

Counting is for dorks! We just wins gamez!

 

[Gopher Ally]

So awesome to see the old Barn come to life again! What a fun game to watch, congrats Niko on your home Big opener!

 

[GopherJack]

Storming the field and court, all in one week. Nice. I don't think Nico will be body surfing though.

 

[LesBolstad]

What a start to the Niko era. Way to go boys!

And Hummel was fine. If anything, he was pro Gophers. The Hummel hate is stupid

 

[Cobra]

Nico bringin the energy at the end of his Katz interview.
WooHoo!!!

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

Niko is the dominant Drake

Probably best. The way things are going 3 guys would be injured in the attempt.

 

[GopherBlood777]

THIS IS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME LET'S GO GOPHERS

Anyone bad mouthing Hummel can shove it, one of the best commentators out there right now.

 

[BarnBurner]

Man can we talk about the huge roles Grove and Turner played when we needed them the most!?

I thinks that what I’m most excited about!

Turner needs to drop 20 and he'd be better.

 

[BarnBurner]

His bias was there all game so stick it

 

[howeda7]

Hat tip to Turner. He came in, gave us 4 fouls and grabbed a couple rebounds. Except for the one time he tried to play offense, it was what we needed.

 

[Gophers7633]

Damnit if that didn't feel good. Great win.

 

[Gopher Ally]

Minnesota coach>Indiana coach

 

[Holy Man]

Is there something symbolic about the post game coach interview being sponsored by a funeral home?

 

[JZABR]

No doubt. The entire team played well on defense. Even in spot minutes.....Grove and Turner made some nice plays without getting burned.

Grove was REALLY giving his all on D. That chasedown block was awesome. Turner did what he needed to do. He's a big dude and a change of pace from JCJ and GG

Minnesota coach>Indiana coach

I think so.
Would have to go back a long way since I thought our offensive system was better than that of the opponent. Probably back to Clem?
Obviously just one game, but Niko has a track record of this as well.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Turner needs to drop 20 and he'd be better.

Well yeah, who wouldn't be better if they scored 20 points

 

[DarthGopher]

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!

 

[Ski U Mah Gopher]

The ex-Drake Head Coach Standings:
Medved 1-0
DeVries 0-1
McCollum 0-1

 

[combes1]

It always warms my heart to see Indiana lose.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Grove was REALLY giving his all on D. That chasedown block was awesome. Turner did what he needed to do. He's a big dude and a change of pace from JCJ and GG

Ya, Grove was awesome!

 

[WCGopher]

Nice win and fun game to watch

Was it Washburn McReavy?

 

[XMan]

Great game Gophers. The post interview with Niko was fun. He was so excited. Fun time.

 

[USAF]

Nico...great hire, or greatest ever?

Discuss

 

[PMWinSTP]

Halfway to your predicted conference win total

 

[Holy Man]

Was it Washburn McReavy?

Yep. Nice family but lend themselves to gallows humor sponsoring sports, especially coaches interview. Do they give the Merced family discounts on caskets as a bonus?

 

[Gold Vision]

Wow. Just finished watching. What a gutty performance from this short-handed crew!

Only 1 point from 21 total bench minutes.

Probably not a sustainable approach, but that sure was fun!
