    Women's Hockey 2023-24 Season -- Part 2: The Regular Season

    Yesterday's game was exciting and competitive. The Gophers were rusty and had poor passing, especially in the first period. However, I felt like the Gophers had an extra gear or another level that UConn did not have. The suspense was when are they going to kick it up a notch. Great to get...

    B1G Game 3: Gophers Host Maryland (1-3-24)

    Good game. The effort was excellent and they competed well. I felt that they forgot their game plan and tried to run with Maryland, who are much better at running. Once they got out of their more deliberate game, they fell behind.

    Taylor Landfair has entered the transfer portal.

    We are in an unregulated system where excellent players like Wenaas, Booth, and Landfair can choose to go to a team that has a high probability of winning a conference and national championship. In some pro sports, on the other hand, high-quality free agents cannot always go to the best team(s)...

    Women's Hockey 2023-24 Season -- Part 2: The Regular Season

    SHGopher: I am not sure what you mean by the first time--- Next season the Gophers for the first time have Canadian players coming. Goaltender Hannah Clark and defender Gracia Graham play for Team Canada. The Gophers recently have had Amanda Leveille from Quebec and Sarah and Amy Potomak...

    NCAA 2023 Brackets

    The Big Ten is not so Big. Texas knows how to get players from the transfer portal.

    Taylor Landfair has entered the transfer portal.

    I am sorry to hear that Landfair is leaving. Contrary to the Gopher Hole Gurus, I think she is better than 90% of the OH in D1. Yes, her production was down this year but was still great by most players' standards. I think it is the sign of the times. She has seen that Booth and Wenaas were...

    Game 11: Gophers Host Grambling (12-13-23)

    Nice win. They escaped the third quarter letdown. As a result, coach was able to play the reserves in the fourth quarter. Czinano and Holloway played great. The others got some valuable experience and should learn from their mistakes and feel more comfortable.

    B1G Game 1: Gophers Host Purdue (12-10-23)

    Exciting game and nice win. Memo to Coach P. Don't let the team go into the locker room at half time.

    Game 9: Gophers Visit Kentucky (12-6-23)

    Nice to get a road win. They won almost all facets of the game except rebounds and number of fouls. Hopefully, they can build on this.

    Game 8: Gophers Host Drake (12-2-23)

    This was one of the most exciting basketball games played in the Barn. What we know now: This team has much heart and competitive spirit. They are improving with every game. They have many weapons and options. They are tough to play in the Barn. They can easily beat mediocre mid-major teams...

    What grade would you give Keegan Cook in first season as Gopher coach?

    I would give Cook a C. I give him a big kudos for recruiting Grote and not losing Murr. However, he had enough good players who came back to have better results. He probably didn't develop some players well and didn't know how to use the talent that he had.

    NCAA Second Round: Gophers v. Blue Jays (12-2-23)

    In the transfer portal, we lost an All-Big Ten first team selection and a solid player, who didn't make the All-Big 12 team. We gained an All-Big Ten first team player and an All-Big ten second team player. With two All-Big Ten first team players and two second team players, one would think...

    NCAA Second Round: Gophers v. Blue Jays (12-2-23)

    Disappointing to get swept and give up leads. It was great that they fought hard all the way. They were a much better team at the end of the season than the first half.

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    Agree. The Big Ten and Wisconsin got screwed with Wisconsin, Penn St. and Purdue in the same quarter bracket. Also, only 5 Big Ten teams got in while three conferences, I think, had more teams.

    Weekly RPI 2023 Season

    My gut feeling is that the NCAA will send the Gophers to California to play Stanford in the first round. We will find out today at 5:00 pm CST on ESPN.

    Game 6: Gophers Host Stony Brook (11-26-23)

    Nice to get the win. Lots of good plays and some lapses. I think the Gophers should stay on the court instead of going to the locker room for halftime. They seem to be slow in finding their way back to the court.

    B1G Match 20: Gophers host Nebraska (11-25-23)

    Good match, good fight. The 3rd and 4th set were great. Nebraska is a level better than the Gophers; however, the Gophers are much better than a 43 RPI. I hope the selection committee rewards the Gophers for being a strong team now and doesn't penalize them greatly for the first part of the...

    B1G Match 20: Gophers host Nebraska (11-25-23)

    Wow! We hung in there and won the third set. Persistence pays off.

    B1G Match 19: Gophers host Illinois (11-24-23)

    Win Huge! Excellent all around play. I think they punched their ticket to the NCAA.
