Part of his Friday Look Ahead: Player trying to get rolling: The Big Ten schedule-maker didn't do Minnesota any favors. The Gophers opened conference play at Wisconsin's Kohl Center, a place where Tim Duncan's Spurs would probably lose. Now they're at No. 20 Michigan State on Friday, then...

We are coming off back-to-back 9-9 seasons in the Big Ten. I'm not sure this Big Ten season is going to be any different. I'm hoping someone can tell me otherwise.

From her column today: "Maturi is about as popular as E. coli among a mass of fans, alumni and former players. He's made costly mistakes that warrant criticism, but some of his detractors have allowed their feelings about Maturi to cloud their judgment. During the search, former Gophers punter...

That is unacceptable for any team, sporting any roster alignment, playing man or zone, at home or on the road, in a 20 minute half. That is disgusting and despicable, quite frankly. I never thought a Tubby team would actually just quit on defense. Hey Cavaliers, you're welcome to come have...

Post up these little wussy VA guys, please. We have a size and strength advantage. We should have grinded this game out in the post and destroyed them piece by piece.

They spelled Nolen as Nolan on one of their leading graphics. How embarrassing.

It's clear that Brewster's fate is written after this debacle. There's no need to crucify him further, I'm sure he knows what's coming at the end of the season. I like the guy. I admire his passion for our program, and his enthusiasm... well, sometimes that's all you've got. He's in over his...

This is a true test of our fanbase. We have a legitimate chance to turn the first game (and hopefully the second) into a virtual home game. You KNOW that certain schools, if blessed with opening round games within a few hours driving time of their home arena, would PACK the place. Come on...

There are serious, serious issues on this team. Why was our starting backcourt (upperclassmen), benched for half of a very important game last week? Methinks too many relatively similar talents competing for limited minutes, and people are starting to get a bad attitude. It shows on the...

1) Start Colt every game and give him a lot of minutes (dependent on foul trouble). He missed a few gimmes, sure, but he goes at the rim at least twice as aggressively as Sampson. He also is our only consistent rebounder besides DJ. 2) Play Rodney Williams if, for no other reason, he brings...

I call games for the University of Alaska-Anchorage, and last night UAA played Washington State here in the Great Alaska Shootout. Klay Thompson, 6-6 guard for the Cougars, and son of a certain famous Gopher, was a man among boys on the court. How did this kid end up in Pullman? Watch the...

Same starters as vs. Moorhead State?

He dreamed that in the first half, the Gophers would throw on first down, over and over again. He also dreamed that they would throw the play-action bomb over and over again on second and third down. This dream made him happy because he knew that coming into the game, Illinois had the worst...

I was out in the sticks, with no radio or TV, and I come back to the world, log in, see the final score (Yes!), and lo and behold... This place is like a morgue. Come on people, we just beat a desperate team in freezing weather. Nobody with a brain expected the team to be all that good...
