    RIP Yevette Haskins

    I met her twice, once overseas where an impressionable 14 yo Pewterschmidt and his Gopher friend got to hang with the '93-'94 Gopher team for an hour after a exhibition game. Got to sit next to her during it. She was so welcoming and took the pics of us with the team, etc. RIP Yvette. She...

    Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups arrested in betting probe

    There was a Gophers bb player in the mid 2000's that I was convinced (and still am) was point shaving in a particular game. It looked like he was purposefully turning the ball over, missing shots on purpose, and playing charity-game level defense, similar to the Terry Rozier clip that is...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers 1-0 After 23-10 Win Over Buffalo

    Smith looks like catches the ball with his body regularly. Yes he looks the part at WR running routes but I'm concerned he doesn't have good hands.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    One thing I know for certain…anyone who thinks the money pocketed today will be used, even partially, next year in free agency doesn’t understand the Pohlads and the sale of this team. 100% of this won’t see the light of day. Straight into their pockets.

    2025-26 Gopher Mens Basketball Roster

    100% Lubbock has to be the worst city/location for a Power 4 team. It's an isolated armpit of a city.

    Was firing Johnson the right decision by Coyle?

    He should have never been hired in the first place. Since he was hired, it was obvious he was in way over his head after year 2. A smart AD with foresight would have cut ties then and there. So yes, it was the right move. Why would anyone give a coach with such a horrible record a chance...

    ESPN's Jeff Borzello: "As of time of publish, it seems Ben Johnson is likely to get another year at Minnesota."

    I don't get it. We are basically returning nothing other than Asuma next year. This is the perfect time to fire a coach and there's not a more fire-able coached based on performance than Ben Johnson. Giving Ben another year just sets the program back another year. It would take a miracle...

    Ryerse Enrolling now for Spring Football and Baseball

    I've seen him play in person at least 5 times and seen him practice a couple of more times. He will be the best punter we've ever had and has a good shot at playing in the NFL some day. Gone are the days of low line drive punts, hoping to get a roll to increase the yardage. He absolutely...

    Sun Country gets in the Game

    I've flown with them 20+ times over the years. Never had any problems. I'm a huge fan because they also hold Delta pricing accountable for dozens of routes that they might otherwise have an monopoly.

    Gophers 2025 Schedule Announced - how many wins do you predict?

    On the flip side, not a single one of our opponents will be coming off a bye week when we play them. That's quite fortunate.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    I'm trying to muster the will to even post about Gopher BB. I just don't care any longer. Fire him, or don't. I don't care because it's painfully obvious those that should care the most don't as well.

    List of '24-'25 D1 Players from Minnesota

    I try to compile this list every year. Thought some might be interested. I'm never 100% sure of some of the accuracy of players I'm unfamiliar with. Loyola-Chicago Francis Nwaokorie Sr Brooklyn Park California Kevin Armstrong II Fr Minneapolis California Joshua Ola-Joseph Jr Brooklyn...

    Explain the Gophers loss to UNC in 1 sentence

    My interest level is about as high as the success rate of running on 3rd and goal from the 9.
