    2025 NCAA Hockey National Championship Game Thread

    Hockey is fairly unpredictable. Here is the preseason poll: (1) Denver - underperformed that ranking in regular season, made Frozen 4 (2) BC - #1 most of the year, missed Frozen 4 (3) Boston - underperformed that ranking in regular season, made Frozen 4 (4) Michigan State - great regular...

    General Manager Hires

    I believe that is true, but that position is not Football GM. That position I believe will oversee department-wide distribution of revenue share with emphasis on the five sports that have been deemed worthy of getting a chunk of that money (FB, MBB, WBB, VB, MHock). That is also a GM-type...

    Grading college basketball hires for 2025-26 (Minnesota, Niko Medved: B+)

    It was pretty much spot on. The "C" grade a little high, though.

    Open Practice April 15

    From Randy Johnson's article after he watched practice last week: "Dylan Wittke, a redshirt sophomore transfer from Virginia Tech, took most of the second-team snaps Tuesday, followed by redshirt sophomore Max Shikenjanski. Zach Pyron, the redshirt junior transfer from Georgia Tech, and true...

    General Manager Hires

    Is there an open position for Football GM? Chernoff is the GM. He oversees every aspect of the program, from the top down. He will be definitely be helping with the salary cap.

    If that's the base line, then I think you'd be shocked. Almost every P4 impact player (starter and bench) will be at or near six-figures. Heck, there were multiple Gophers at or near six-figures last season.

    Chernoff came with PJ from Western Michigan. He is the GM. PJ ahead of his time.

    General Manager Hires

    The very best way Pete can support Gopher football is NOT by being the GM of Gopher football. It IS by donating a really, really large chunk of change to the NIL collective. Like really large. And, write the check every year.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    It is weird though. "True" bigs don't play against teams that go small all that often. Coaches are petrified of the true big having to guard the perimeter. It happens every night. "Old school" seven-foot inside guy is on the floor. Opposing coach goes small and the seven-footer is removed...

    Future Gopher Coach Discussion

    Not sure on Bump or anything else. I'd be in on Fershweiler either way I think. And, I'd take his goalie and 2nd leading scorer who happen to be brothers from a hockey rich town in Minnesota LOL. That said, I'm completely fine bringing Bob back, which is what is going to happen anyway. I was...

    Future Gopher Coach Discussion

    It won't happen.......but if Minnesota is really serious about moving on up....then go make Rochester (MN) native Pat Ferschweiler an $800k/year offer and have him bring the Slukynsky brothers, Bump and other high end talent with him. I know he's a Western Michigan grad, but he grew up in...

    I'm probably in the minority, but Tom Izzo

    He's 70 years old. Anyone who would consider him a quitter at this point of his career if he chooses to retire would be a bit silly. Maybe he just wants to be done with the rat race of what college basketball has become. He won a Big Ten title, passed Bob Knight on the all-time conference...

    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)

    It should also be noted, the video in which PJ is talking to begin this thread is now two months old. It isn't anything new or even since spring ball started.

    I agree with that for sure, that is why I added the qualifier "in totality." I wasn't trying trying to refute you on Maryland. Just adding an additional thought on the entire conference and the new coaches entering the league.

    I think in totality, the Big Ten probably got tougher: IND - Woodson out, DeVries in MN - Johnson out, Medved in IA - Fran out, McCallum in MD - Willard out, Buzz in That's an upgrade in coaching, in my opinion.
