ROTF

- Season 1 of Game of Thrones was awesome! Don't think it's on DVD/Blue-Ray yet but watch for it. - Boardwalk Empire gets better with age. Probably my favorite show on TV right now - Highly recommend Band of Brothers but I'm guessing you've already seen the miniseries. If not, drop everything...

Have to trust me on this one. Not sure if there's an article out there stating it but my entire family is at the Duke game right now and it was just announced by the PA announcer 10 minutes ago. Others: Maryland Baylor Cal Arkansas Dayton Chaminade Big East team yet to be determined because...

Always interesting to follow Minnesotans on other D1 rosters and see trends as to which mid-major programs recruit Minnesota (Wofford and Cal Poly come to mind). Please add to this thread if there's someone that's missing. I don't what happened to Cole Stefan from La Salle nor do I know where...

Does anyone know Lucia's contract situation? Is it possible that even if Maturi wanted to fire Lucia, his hands are tied because of the fact that WE'RE PAYING THREE FOOTBALL HEAD COACHES RIGHT NOW! Of course that's Maturi's fault if that's the case. It might be another case of the Brewster...

That was the last BB or FB game for almost 6 months on the network. Other than Spring Game look-ins and the rare Gopher baseball game, time to take the network off my favorite list until late August. No joke but these conference networks have a very weird business model. Name me another...

Should be an exciting 2nd half.

That I had no idea the Gophers played last night. I thought the game was tonight. Logged on to my computer this morning to see they actually played NW last night. I've been really busy at work that I got the dates messed up. I can't remember a time where that has happened before. Looking at...

During the Syracuse v Georgetown game tonight, John Saunders has three times promoted tomorrow's ESPN's lineup of college basketball games. Each time he said Illinois vs Michigan at 8 PM tomorrow night. One time is a mistake. 2 times is an embarrassment. 3 times is just wrong. He probably has...

I ran into a high school friend last night at the Social who has worked with the FB team since the Mason years. He's one of the few that have survived the 2 recent regime changes. Gopherkinta and I picked his brain for a while. Some interesting takes/opinions: - Ted Roof realized within the...

Not the Chicago variety but the buy or sell metaphor for Gopher FB units: Bullish: 1. OL - I think over the next year or 2, you'll see a dramatic increase in play from our offensive line. I like the emphasis put on the position the past 2 classes with some of our most highly rated recruits...

Check out St. John's schedule to start the Big East season: Mon, Jan 3 - vs #13 Georgetown Sat, Jan 8 - @ #15 Notre Dame Wed, Jan 12 - #4 Syracuse Sun, Jan 16 - vs #15 Notre Dame Wed, Jan 19 - @ #23 Louisville Sat, Jan 22 - vs #25 Cincinnati Wed, Jan 26 - @ #13 Georgetown Sun, Jan 30 - vs #1...

I've been a season ticket holder (2 tickets) for the past 7 years, all but the last I lived in either Madison, WI or Houston, TX (now a resident of the Twin Cities). I've been devoted to the program, spending alot of money on travel alone just to see the Gophers play, all in the name of hope...

Epic fail. This UVa team is garbage and our D (especially from someone that can't handle his off-the-court life) is making them look like a bunch of Larry Bird's. God this team was full of themselves entering this game. Guess what? You're no better than a last place ACC team with that...

Seriously...the last time we played Indiana was Oct 4th, 2008. The next time we play Indiana will be no earlier than 2013 with a chance it gets pushed to 2015. With the 2-year rotation in cross-division opponents, there's basically a 1 in 3 chance we'll go 6 years without playing Indiana...

GO TO HELL

I have a friend of a friend that worked in the athletic department and has connections and a name popped up that I had never considered. The more I think about it, the more I like it. His name is Mickey Matthews and he's the current head coach at James Madison. The same James Madison that...

1. Duke - May not finish #1 but they certainly deserve to be #1 heading into the year given what they return and what's coming into the program 2. Michigan St - Experienced guards to go along with their always trusty defense and rebounding lands them at #2. Izzo is a heck of a coach. 3...

Gophs come in at #29 if you account for "also receiving votes." 5 BT teams in the top 25 (MSU-2, OSU-5, Purdue-8, Illinois-16, Wisconsin-24). 8 for Purdue seems a bit high without Hummel. Wonder if some finished their ballots prior to the injury. I see them more in the mid to high teens...
