    Ski-U-Max! Gopher Men's Basketball Adds Guard Duo to the Program - Maximus Gizzi (New Palestine, Ind.) and Max Lorenson (Eden Prairie, Minn.)

    What has happened to Erick Reader? Did he stop playing basketball? He's 6'8". I would think he'd be a good practice player.

    Stanley Cup Thread

    Another disappointing Stanley Cup Final. Hockey Championships should never go to teams south of the Mason Dixie line.

    Another recruiting tool for coach Fleck? The city of Minneapolis?

    The point is that the city of Minneapolis itself may not be a recruiting advantage, but the entire metro with its number of fortune 500 companies and its opportunities for a variety of outdoor fun makes it a welcoming place to be. Fleck can take the recruits out to be baptized in the waters of...

    2025 Gophers Basketball Summer Practice Thread

    At first I thought it said "Play Ball" and I wondered if Brad Davison was around giving nut tap lessons. But, then I saw it said "Play Hard" and recognized it as a nod to Clem and the boyz.

    Wait, What!? Minnesota has a new flag? Did they add the hammer and sickle? 🤔⚒️

    CBS Sports Grading rosters of first-year coaches article.

    One thing you cannot accuse a Gopher fan of being is...impatient. At this point we're setting records in being patient.

    Amateur College Football Officially Dead: Judge OK's $2.8B settlement, paving way for colleges to pay athletes

    It makes me wonder, after seeing Minnesota's best baseball players leave the program, if the men's program is about to get the axe.

    Where are all those former Gopher players living? Are there any living in the city of Minneapolis or are they living in more prosperous suburbs?

    Another recruiting tool for coach Fleck? The city of Minneapolis?

    There aren't many places worse than Cabrini in its day, so picking the worst and saying Mpls is good in comparison really isn't accurate to the troubles Mpls is facing. If Mpls didn't have a socialist city council I might see more hope, but the council is, as I see it, the least inclusive it...

    Have you dropped into Little Mogadishu lately? Just get off the blue line at the Cedar/Riverside stop and walk around the neighborhood at night. Enjoy. BTW, Chicago razed Cabrini Green about 25 years ago.

    Amateur College Football Officially Dead: Judge OK's $2.8B settlement, paving way for colleges to pay athletes

    When I got tickets to last year's Michigan v Minnesota football game at Ann Arbor, I got on one of their mailing lists. Here's the email I just received from the Michigan AD regarding the effects of the judges decision and how it affects Michigan. "Dear Michigan Fans, Alumni, and Supporters...

    PP pre-season conversation with Medved

    Understanding offensive tendencies of teammates takes a lot more work than defensive help responsibilities. It sounds like Niko runs more of a Princeton offense rather than motion offense. If the players haven't been exposed to his offense then I completely understand the emphasis on offense as...

    All things biking.

    I haven't really noticed it, except about a week ago when I had a climb out of the River valley and I could smell the smoke. My lungs felt a bit less thrilled with the exertion, but it wasn't unbearable. So far I think the warnings have been mostly precautionary for those with chronic asthma and...

    All things biking.

    Thanks for the information on e-bikes. I will have to accept Father time eventually and your point about riding in wind is valid and worth pondering. In the southeast side of the metro there are some nice hills and a few coulees (ravines with creeks that dry up in summer) that wind you up and...

    All things biking.

    Did a 24 mile ride on Wednesday with my 20 year old son. Total elevation climbed was 1272 feet. My quads hurt afterward. I am past my days where I ride a lot of miles, but I still enjoy getting out and seeing the sites around the metro. I live in the bluff area so there's a lot of ups and...
