    Who was your team growing up through HS and College?

    I’m all Gophers, always have been. Teams I used to like: 1. Bobby Knight Hoosiers - still maintain Gophers should have hired him the second they fired him! 2. Lou Do MSU - loved Lou! Hate Izzo. 3. Denny Crum Louisville 4. Underdogs - Villanova over Georgetown, NC State over Houston 5. UNLV -...

    ***OFFICIAL NORTHWESTERN AT MINNESOTA BATTLE OF 14-13 TEAMS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Lose this one and Johnson shouldn’t make it to the locker room.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    The madness has to end! Gophers are somehow 1-3 vs the top three teams in the conference. Also, 1-2 vs the bottom three teams. With a good chance of being 1-3.

    2024-25 Gopher Hockey Season

    Back in the day, someone snuck a dead BADGER in and threw it in the ice at the old Ralph!

    Dawson Garcia - Has he become one of the best in the Country?

    Nothing shows pure athleticism more than dunking. And every time DG gets a break away, I feel like there is a pretty good chance he is going to injure himself. I’d advise him to take the Iceman approach and just lay it in. He will make it, with his spacing, but he needs to work on extending...

    Ben Johnson and the boys are kicking ass- who would have thunk it??

    We come out of games looking more like Kick-Ass than Hit Girl, that’s for sure!

    Hire Ben Johnson?

    Twisted, I think the decision should be signed sealed and set in concrete. Fire Away. But I’m also a little tired of the Fire Ben Johnson thread.

    Ben Johnson and the boys are kicking ass- who would have thunk it??

    Kicking Ass? The second half of the conference schedule looks very similar to the non-conference schedule. And we ain’t blowing people out. Outside of Michigan and UCLA, all the wins are pretty meh. Plus, we lost to Washington at home! Not kicking ass. But also not losing.

    What's Your Favorite College Football Stadium?

    Never been to the bank unfortunately. My top stadiums: 1. Husky Stadium. That lake view is awesome. 2. Virginia Tech. The whole Enter Sandman thing is just awesome! 3. Notre Dame. It just exudes history and the fans don’t sit ever! 4. Minnesota. When we sing “Minnesota Hail to Thee”, awesome...

    Hire Ben Johnson?

    God knows there are plenty of reasons for moving on, but… The Gophers are playing really good basketball right now. It actually looks like maybe he can coach! His halftime adjustments have been on que lately.

    Can you even name a men’s Gopher Basketball Coaching Mount Rushmore?

    I went with Mount Rushmore to limit to four. Mercy rule, I guess. Also, no ineligibility for NCAA violations. 1. Clem 2. Dutcher 3. Musselman 4. ?????? Just cannot think of someone for that 4 spot!

    Turned Corner & Smashed Into Tom Izzo Built Wall

    I’m sure Izzo would love all this ass kissing, but his team doesn’t shoot well enough to get to the sweet sixteen.

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

    i thought it was pretty obvious, but I see I need to be more descriptive for some individuals. The point spreads when being out rebounded are 16.5. While the games where we won the board battle average 4 pts. Most people would be able to say “duh”!

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

    Well, we have been outrebounded in 6 games. We have a 1-5 record in those games with the one win being a last second prayer shot. Those five teams are the top 4 teams in the conference and Indiana. We have a 2-2 record in games we had the rebounding advantage. Just saying.

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

    Ms. Johnson, from 10th grade English, I thought you would be dead by now! It’s a board for posting opinions, lighten up dude. You wrote outrebounded 5 times in your post, yet failed to make an intelligent point about the subject. Except to prove my point that we can’t rebound with the better...

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

    There was no way they were going to be close with the following stat lines. Outrebounded 40-22! Ouch! Outfreethrowed 20-5 in attempts, 15-3 in makes! Ouch! You can’t make up for that unless you shoot 60% or something crazy. We are just too soft, short, and unathletic to bang with the teams...

    What is Coyle's, "keep Ben, win tally?"

    Part of me thinks Cole was keeping Ben the whole time regardless of record. Truth is, the last two coaches were fired after NCAA tournament appearances. Ben has been kept with the worst winning percentage in Gopher history. Based on those facts, how can you possibly make an accurate prediction?

    WTF? Are the Gophers actually good?

    Steadily steaming on a serene course of Titanic proportions, our direct course to the ousting of much maligned Head Coach Ben Johnson has been thrown off by a much unexpected run of good play! 3 wins in a row with two of the competitors ranked? Surely not under this staff. And yet here we are.
