    Future Gopher Coach Discussion

    I think it's time to move on from Motzko now. I get college hockey is competitive and winning the title isn't the easiest thing to do. Since 2000 Minnesota has two national titles. Michigan has none, while Wisconsin, North Dakota, Boston U and Michigan State have one each. Boston College and...

    Fire Motzko

    Yeah I have to push back a bit on this. Woog had no college head coaching experience when he was hired. Lucia meanwhile had built up a good run at Colorado College, a smaller school, same way Motzko did at St. Cloud State, winning conference titles and reaching the Frozen Four. It's not an...

    2024-25 Gopher Hockey Season

    At the very least Frost (and previously Lucia) had national championship banners to point to. Motzko? Not so much.

    Favorite Friday = Who is Your favorite Gophers running back?

    It may have been a short dash, but his run on 4th down Vs. Oregon to get in field goal range in the Sun Bowl was just brilliant. Showed his vision and burst.

    Brad Berry is out as UND men's hockey coach after a decade at the helm, an NCAA national championship and five Penrose Cups.

    Makes sense when they never made it back to the Frozen Four after year one.

    4 coaching in legends, collecting Natty’s. #Gophers

    I'm guessing it's post AP otherwise Fielding Yost would be in there for Michigan.

    Favorite Friday = Who is Your favorite Gophers running back?

    This thread is just a good reminder of how good the running back room has been since 2000. Six of the top 10 rushers have been since 2000, ditto for rushing touchdowns. Thomas Tapeh, 2000-2003, 1,958 yards, 24 rushing touchdowns (No. 8 in RT) Marion Barber III, 2001-2004, 3,276 yards, 35...

    Favorite Friday = Who is Your favorite Gophers running back?

    David Cobb didn't have as illustrious of a career as others mentioned but he really helped carry the 2013 and 2014 teams and deserves credit for getting the Gopher rushing attack going again.

    Shaka Smart has an odd coaching record. He's no doubt successful in winning and yet has only made it to the Sweet 16 twice. You'd think it's a regular season Vs. post season thing but he's won conference tourneys along with the NIT/CBI. Just can't seem to make much happen in the NCAA despite...

    Wild seeing how different the ACC is now from 10 years ago but look at the coaches they had at one point in about 2015: Tony Bennett, 1 National Title, 1 Final Four Jim Boeheim, 1 National Title, 5 Final Fours Rick Pitino, 2 National Titles, 7 Final Fours Roy Williams, 3 National Titles, 9...

    Washburn ends Minnesota State-Moorhead’s season with a 93-65 victory. The Dragons finish the season 25-9. Washburn is an exceptional team and I wouldn't be surprised if they win the DII title. Here’s recap of how all non-DI Minnesota teams did in the postseason this year. Division II NSIC...

    What is easier? Getting to a bowl game, or making the NCAAs?

    I think the existence of the bubble concept makes it clear that the NCAA tournament is harder to make. That doesn't exist in college football, you win six games, and you're locked in as a Power 4 team. Heck you can even win 5 and have a chance. For a team that has a similarly "average" season...

    NCAA says you can negotiate NIL prior to signing now

    There's going to need to be contracts for these types of things where players will need to play for multiple seasons at a school as part of an agreement. If there's going to be higher levels of investments that are thoroughly negotiated, I think it's going to need to come with a limit on the...

    I don't really see it either. It has a lot of money behind it, lots of sponsors and I'm guessing they're going to be pushing the sports betting aspect to bolster it. Plus it being on Fox should give it some numbers, but I just don't see it having staying power if it pulls in teams with losing...

    The 2012 and 2014 runs were really fun to watch. Obviously making the NCAA tournament is always the goal but seeing the Gophers play some more games and getting to experience some of the mystique of Madison Square Garden was enjoyable.
