    BIG Game 17: Gophers host Michigan State, Feb 22nd!

    Not a big BB fan however listened to the men's team beat Rutgers yesterday and will watch the gals this afternoon. As one G'Her has said for years...Just Win Baby...

    Spring Game 2026 - April 25th

    Commented before that Kiddo and I attended Coach Kill's first open practice when he arrived. A cold front was coming through and snow squalls were swirling like a snowglobe in TCF. Coach Kill was only wearing a t-shirt with another shirt and shorts and no gloves. We went down on the field for...

    Mount Rushmore of gopher coaches

    It was good radio and probably still is. My commuting hours shifted a bit later so just not in the car to flip it over to KFAN. On a parallel note, I thought he was great on the Big Ten Network and was sorry that they could not make a deal when that contract ended. Also glad he got over the...

    I haven't listened to Dan for some time now. Does Mase still show up on Wednesday afternoons?

    Mount Rushmore of gopher coaches

    Yep, Mason is why I am a Gopher among other factors. He was hired December 14, 1996...so a little over 30 years ago. So I thank him for the joys and utter despair that I have relished each fall since then. Concur with both VCG and Walrus he should be on the rock too for pulling Minnesota out...

    Mason would never be labeled "elite" but he did take the Gophers off the bottom. PJ has not earned the "elite" label yet either but the book on him is still being written. Getting to 2019 levels again would push him past Mason. I think Goldy should be on the mountain too.

    Fleck Signs New Contract!

    I guess Heather could forego a mink coat or two and let PJ pull out the personal checkbook... AI says his total compensation is $7.9 million. Maybe just skim off a mil and get ready to fill out a slew of IRS Forms 709 to keep it all above board. Seriously though, really looks like an Admin...

    Max

    Yep, it was the clinic held against Max (and the rest of the offense of course) that had me rooting for Seahawks tonight. They obviously didn't need my support at all. It was also interesting that we saw Drake in Chapel Hill in 2023 where he sliced and diced the Gophers D with a decent set of...

    WR PJ Fleck

    Yep, he's probably watched this highlight reel a million times...good times.

    Fleck on Perich: “we knew during the season that he was leaving”; says he received a $2 million package to join the hugely-funded Ducks

    Since memories are somewhat shaky on Bucko here goes... https://www.minnesotasportsfan.com/gophers-football/minnesota-gophers-teammates-have-changed-markeise-bucky-irving-nickname-for-rivalry-purposes/ As GBM noted, there was talk on GH and where I landed is we accept players and their...

    Fleck on Perich: “we knew during the season that he was leaving”; says he received a $2 million package to join the hugely-funded Ducks

    As for the last nail in the coffin that is Perich's Minnesota experience, if this reporting is true we actually now have a $$$ value willing to be paid by a fully-funded, top-tier program for a player with Koi's potential. I don't believe there is any way Minnesota can operate at that level for...
