Thanks

Where is it best to look for less expensive tickets? I watch the game on TV and see all the empty seats, but I’m not seeing bargains for tickets anywhere. Unfortunately I’m not in a position right now to pay full price. Thx.

Right. I seem to recall it was some sort of dress fracture or hairline fracture? As a fan, the new era of saying virtually nothing about injuries is a bummer. I recall some sort of “insider” information at one point hinting he might come back by year-end. But here we are in 2026 with...

I couldn’t agree more. We have had much better players, thus better teams, but NOT better coaching. I’m referring to the post-Clem area. Maybe Clem and Musslemen were good as at coaching, but I’m not the one to make that comparison. It is so fun to watch.

I’m in shock. After all these years of watching our awful offenses and seeing other teams back-door cut and make the extra passes and scheme great plays I thought this would never happen here. IMO this is the best coaching I have seen of a Gophers team in a very very long time. Of course...

I was at the game, yet I’m still a bit puzzled about what position best suits Reynolds. He did not come off as being confident with his outside shot, but he was aggressive as heck taking the ball in the lane. Nice to see. Seems really tough. I hope some of that rubs off on Asuma. I left a...

Not knowing what to expect, I was really impressed by Kai. I hope we continue to see him get minutes, as I think he could contribute this year.

I too remember the really awful years, so I’m glad for every win. Here’s my greatest puzzlement: How can we have this awful of an offensive line? I can understand that we lose recruiting battles for the flashy skilled guys, but it seems to me that there’s no excuse for being this bad up...

It’s painfully obvious: Iowa has better talent, better discipline, and better coaching. We have to recruit better and coach better.

Another stupid Mitchell pass

What happened to Mitchell? He can’t even find the rim on a three, and has become a turnover machine. 1-14 on threes as a team? That’s about like shooting blindfolded. It’s hard to believe this is happening … again.

Taylor is such a great example of why you can’t judge running backs on “measurables” alone. I’m guessing he lacked in one or more of those measurables when compared against the 4-star studs rated ahead of him who signed with the helmet schools. Maybe “too small”? Maybe “too slow”? To me...

Wife and I will be there

A pet peeve of mine with coaches/fans/scouts/analysts is with the over-emphasis on “measurables” with quarterbacks and wide receivers. What I mean by are the following: Size, speed, strength, quickness, vertical jump, (arm/passing strength for QBs). There are two other things that matter...
