After he was fired here he did some TV work. He was the sideline reporter for Fox (or an affiliated network) on a crew with Gus Johnson on play-by-play and Charles Davis as the color analyst. I don't remember much about it other than Gus saying "now let's throw it down to Coach Brew!"

Here's the relevant quote from the article: Barnett will matriculate at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Business next year. He’s not quite ready to abandon volleyball, however. He wants to join the men’s club team at the school and hopes to land a supporting role in the women’s...

A guy from Harvard will tell you he went to Harvard. A graduate of Penn will tell you he went to Penn. A guy from Cornell will tell you he went to "an Ivy League school."

Wasn't there myself and this is all anecdotal, but in speaking to a couple of people who attended the graduation, they thought that the shooter and the younger victim were engaged in a dispute of some kind and were not participants in or attendees at the graduation. Ceremony was over and most...

I'll be surprised if you can't find tickets for less than $20 if you wait until a day before the game. I took the trip the last time the Gophers were there and had a blast. Stayed in San Francisco and took the BART out to Berkeley for the game. Have fun!

Just wanted to share that when I first read your post on my phone it appeared like this (without the accompanying photo). Thanks for the unintentional chuckle.

My big trip this year will be Oregon. 75% chance I will make it to Wrigley and 10% chance I make it to Iowa.

Wait until you see the price for game tickets on the secondary market!

Every once in a while the network would pressure them to air the Tonight Show right after the local news and there would be protestors at the station. You could hear them when the weather guy was in the Backyard doing the forecast.

Pretty easy to guess numbers 1 and 2. Nice twist for number 3.

Not only the first time, but also I imagine the only time. (But I appreciate the optimism.)

Stanley Gaines. Wasn't he something like a top 10 player in the country as an 8th grader? Never did much here or at Seton Hall.

It's on my maybe list, too. If I had known that the Gophers would be playing there this year, probably would have skipped the game there last year. I was hoping to see the temporary stadium on the lake. Fun to experience a game at Wrigley, but it's not a great venue to actually watch the game.

Illinois-Northwestern had announced attendance of about 26,000 last year. Most of the games that I can recall have featured an opponent that travels well and has a large Chicago alumni base (Illinois, Ohio State, Iowa). I'd like to think that there will be a sizeable Gopher contingent there...

I attended the Northwestern-Illinois game last November (the Saturday after the Gophers win at Camp Randall). I assumed that there would be lots of tickets available on the secondary market for under face value given that Northwestern doesn't draw flies and it was a holiday weekend. As I...
