Amateur athletics is dead.

All-Scrabble name, for sure. Place it on a triple word score space and rack ‘em up!

Gotta give Fred Hoiberg his due. Nebraska defense was well prepared. Jumped our passing lanes, prevented easy ball reversal at the top of the key and knew that 95% of our drives to the hole were only trying to force help so we could pass out. They made it hard on us and our shooting dropped off...

LMAO! A true statement that would be super triggering to Big (medium? x-small?) Red fans. I’ll be at the game with a buddy who grew up in Omaha. I’m sure he’ll show up in red. Would love to be able to rub it in after Niko’s boys shock the world!

Looks like a certain judge had a clear and obvious reason to recuse himself and not hear this case. Judicial discipline?

Some observations: Through the Thanksgiving tournament, we had one guy who could make 3s. JCJ, Durkin and Asuma were terrible from 3. Somehow Niko has turned them all into confident (and capable, if not stellar) shooters. Reynolds was a turnover machine, utilizing the infamous behind the back...

He’s also a nice fit for Niko’s offense, even at this point in his career. He’s a good passer and ok screener, which our offense uses on almost every play. We’ve only posted up a few times, and that’s been with Crocker-Johnson and (to a lesser extent) Tyson. If he can improve as a shooter (and...

Thanks for the well-wishes and a few chuckles! I won’t be down long. Just supposed to give my eyes a break for the rest of the day. I actually had the same things done in the other eye two years ago. Each laser flash isn’t that painful, it’s that the Doc is clicking the button 3-4 times a second...

See my thread for available tickets for tonight’s game.

I just had emergency eye surgery for a torn retina this morning, so will not get to the USC game tonight. Two tickets available if a Gopherholer can use them. Upper deck, Section 220. Bleacher seats but, unless the Barn fills up, we’ve always been able to move to chair-back seats. Let me know if...

I was stunned at his range; surprised by some of the shots that he took, more so that he was making them. And it wasn’t just one fluke shot. He has confidence from DEEP.

I’ve only put a couple posters on ignore, but it was a necessity. I visit this forum every day. I come for news, insight, enthusiasm, debate, etc. I have no trouble sifting through differing opinions (even those who brutalize mine) but don’t tolerate the few posters who find it their mission to...

Gopher Roster: Isaac Asuma Langston Reynolds Bobby Durkin Cade Tyson Jaylen Crocker-Johnson Kai Shinhoster Grayson Grove Nehemiah Turner 🤮 Max Gizzi 🤮 Max Lorenson 🤮 RJ Spencer 🤮 Robert Vaihola 🩼 Chansey Willis 🩼 BJ Omot 🩼 Chance Stephens 🩼 Only Tyson and Crocker-Johnson might start for another...

I chose 5-6, with the limited roster we have right now. If we get those two guys back could be 7-8, but I don’t see much more than that.

DJs should be outlawed at college games. There are 30 pep band members sitting on their hands wondering when they’ll get a chance to play. But nothing kills momentum and crowd energy by finishing the rouser and then suffer through 1) a commercial for the upcoming gymnastics meet, 2) overblown...
