    Neal: Moving forward with Ben Johnson is the only option for Gophers men’s basketball

    Come on! It was worth at least $700K… BTW this might be the most apt comparison I’ve read in a long time.

    P.J. Fleck : “The QB competition is going to be fierce. It’s going to be a lot of fun. It has already started.” (Video)

    Well if we could only bring in a 5* QB and an additional generational talent we’ll be in the same boat!

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Drake has beaten Vanderbilt, Miami, K State, and FAU in addition to its schedule in the MVC (Indiana State didn’t have this kind of non-con which cost them last year). This is being done with D2 talent. I don’t think anyone can replicate this exact model because there aren’t multi-championship...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    FIFY. It’s ok to bring almost an entire roster of a solid mid-major that knows a system and are comfortable with each other. See Drake with mostly D2 players at 20-1 this season.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    They made a good point on the broadcast the other night, Garcia will be Garcia, but we need somebody else to step up each game. This time it was Brennan!

    ***OFFICIAL WASHINGTON AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Disappointing recent possessions taking away from an exciting 2nd half. Some brutal calls too, but maybe it just might be for the best… (I know I know it isn’t over yet hah)

    Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium will hold fewer people than expected after renovations

    I didn’t read the article so my apologies if it’s in there. Legitimate question (don’t pay them?) - I wonder what the legal recourse is on something like this? I would expect there’d be some verbiage, but man you can’t help but wonder the long term cost ramifications of that kind of mistake.

    All Things Gophers in NFL Scout/Prospect Bowls

    Not to mention the drop on the first pass that they reviewed for a fumble but confirmed the incompletion. Then I don’t think Brosmer had more than 2 seconds without the pass rush immediately in his grill. Ugly ugly game for the West. I couldn’t help but wonder if they tried to install too much...

    ESPN: Effort to unionize college athletes hits stumbling block

    The trophy can go right next to all of our Vikings Super bowl trophies!

    Shooter: And word in coaching circles is that Tom Crean would love to have the Minnesota job.

    I think it’s a completely different era and would take Crean in a heartbeat. I think NIL plays to his strengths. On the Edwards part, superstar NBA players don’t always equate to winning in College, especially when they’re as young as Edwards was.

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    After blowing a 10-0 start, then a 6 point lead with 1:45 left in OT… Drake with the Dagger to beat K State!

    Besides the Gophers who do you cheer for?

    Come cheer for the undefeated Drake Bulldogs! We got a previous head coach from D2 with pretty much all his former players trying to prove recruiting stars don’t count for much when the you take the court!

    I thought we were the Deepest team we have been?

    To be fair, I believe the “depth” showed that we were able to remain competitive (I know that doesn’t mean much). It still didn’t overcome the late game coaching blunders for example. In years past (as I actually expected coming into the weekend), we would have been blown out if our 2nd best...

    Hear me out.

    Our guys’ text chat just had someone mention that ALL Minnesota teams won yesterday! I politely reminded him that the Gophers Men’s team did not win. That’s how irrelevant we’ve become.

    Hear me out.

    Create a petition and have as many of us sign it indicating we want a head coach with experience winning as a head coach at other programs. Enough emails might be meaningful, but probably harder to quantify.

    Best time to send Ben packing?

    I was just about to ask if another Ben from our neighbors in Iowa would consider coming across the border! Amazing how successful coaches at other levels can come in with an empty cupboard and produce immediate results. It’s not like he brought in a ton of big names or anything either...

    ***OFFICIAL CLEVELAND STATE AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Stop shooting 3s, take it to the rack and I’m more than ok if he can be a defensive stopper

    ***OFFICIAL CLEVELAND STATE AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    The one blessing in disguise from all the early injuries has certainly been key minutes for Asuma early in season. Hopefully he can develop enough to start at the #1 and allow Mitchell to go back to his more natural #2. Then we can really get creative with the 3 and 5 spots around Garcia...

    ***OFFICIAL YALE AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Hey it was all you! Gotta watch more games clearly. I don’t mind our big men (obviously Dawson is Dawson), but boy without Mitchell we go on some droughts due to our lackluster guard play.
