    MN HS Basketball 2024-25 Season thread

    I believe Damian Johnson is the coach at Benilde-St. Margaret's, and previously he was the coach at North St. Paul where he made them a solid team. I wonder if he will stick to coaching at the highschool level or try to move up to college teams? If so, whoever is the next Gopher's coach should...

    Nice to see Battle making it in the NBA

    Obviously wished he would have stayed, but it's good to see a former Gopher making it in the league.

    2024-25 Wild Season

    No way they rush him back no matter how we do down the stretch. Next year is a contract year, we're not going to make him play unless he feels he's ready to play.

    Max Brosmer 2025 NFL Draft: Scouting Report For Minnesota Golden Gophers QB

    I'm not buying into the "doesn't have an arm" narrative. Max has a very short, compact and quick delivery, which IMO is huge for the NFL. Many of his throws were completely flat-footed - he didn't even move his front foot. That's all arm strength. That quick release is IMO a big deal in the...

    The Arizona Cardinals are expected to hire University of Minnesota’s Winston DeLattiboudere as their new defensive line coach...

    Why would any coach prefer the college game over the NFL these days? NFL, you get to focus on just football. With college, you've got recruiting (and more recruiting, and more...), meeting with boosters to get NIL dollars, kids that can decide anytime to quit and transfer to another team...

    Ben Johnson on why he didn’t play Asuma in 2nd half (video)

    I don't think having everyone gone next year except for Assuma is necessarily bad. The new coach really needs a clean slate of players, and with the portal, that can happen. Key is getting the new coach named early.

    College Soccer is Looking at Becoming a Pro League

    Or move indoors to USB Bank. I'm not sure how that'd work either, but at least it'd be warm...

    College Soccer is Looking at Becoming a Pro League

    There's also a big movement happening to push MLS into becoming a winter sport vs the current summer sport schedule. If it does, I'll be dropping my Loons season tickets. Not interested in going to an outdoor soccer game when it's that cold outside...

    College Soccer is Looking at Becoming a Pro League

    Lots of questions - few answers at this point in time. I think this would be in direct competition to MLS-Next, so I doubt they'd be a source of revenue. As an example, the Minneapolis Crows somehow survive as a semi-pro soccer team (I'm guessing very few people know they exist, along with...

    College Soccer is Looking at Becoming a Pro League

    Not sure where this fits in the threads, but since soccer is aka "football" I'll place it here. In a short summary, it looks like the B1G and ACC conferences are about to announce that their teams are going to in a sense leave the NCAA and join the US Soccer Federation to become a new semi-pro...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    So, the rumor mill seems to be focused on three players we'll be adding: Nicolás Romero, Ho-yeon Jeong and now Owen Gene. Owen is a classic 6, so he'd be a Will Trapp replacement once Trapp retires.

    Here's a comp for Romero, but I think this deal isn't going to happen. We've had quite a few "swing and a miss" attempts at signing players - we just aren't offering as much as other teams, so the players are landing elsewhere.

    All Things MN United Season Thread

    We're finally adding a new player to the team - we desperately need a new possession midfielder, and looks like we've found on in Ho-Yeon Jeong who's coming to us from the K-league (Korea). Here's his K-stats compared to Trapp and Dotson's MLS-stats.

    B1G vs SEC

    That a Wrap on This Year's B1G Domination over the SEC The fat lady has sung: B1G goes 11-6 in bowl games. More wins than any other conference. SEC goes 8-7, barely a winning record. B1G with back-to-back national championships, from two different teams. B1G has three times the number of teams...

    Max Brosmer 2025 NFL Draft: Scouting Report For Minnesota Golden Gophers QB

    Max's two greatest assets are (a) being able to quickly move through the progressions of the pass options in a play and (b) having an extremely quick release. And to me, those are the two biggest differentators in NFL QBs. As an example, Darnold doesn't have (a) in his toolkit, if the primary...

    Who do you want to win the Super Bowl ?

    Crap, I was having a tough time with the 0-4, and now it’s 0-6. Guess we at least have the Lynx winning some titles.
