Thoughtful and sensible ideas. Change your best U concession team. Go Gophers!!

Per Souhan: 5. Gopher men’s hockey The men’s team was shut out on Friday for the first time since 2023, and the first time at home since 2020, by Minnesota-Duluth, and then allowed UMD to complete the sweep at Mariucci Arena on Saturday. The Gophers are 2-5-1. This is a program with every...

Per Souhan: 2. Minnesota Gophers Losing at Iowa is hardly a disgrace. Losing 41-3 to a program that is happy to beat you 3-0 is a disgrace. Which leads us to the biggest embarrassment of the Minnesota sports week. The champion of this dubious exercise didn’t lose by as many points as did the...

He gone: For the third time this cycle, the Minnesota Golden Gophers football program has suffered a decommitment from their 2026 recruiting class. On Monday, Lehi (UT) three-star offensive tackle Mataalii Benjamin announced his decommitment from the Golden Gophers. Benjamin originally...

Shooter chimes in: >> Of the Vikings 24 games since he was drafted, J.J. McCarthy has appeared in only two. The remaining 10 Vikings games this season will essentially be a 2026 audition for McCarthy, 22. He has to stay healthy and play reasonably well. >> The way it looks now, the Vikings’...

Shooter chimes in: The Minnesota Twins need a manager. Derek Falvey, the guy responsible for the hiring, and Torii Hunter, the popular former Twins star, chatted last week. Hunter, 50, emphasized he has not been interviewed for the job. “I guess they’re slow-rolling the process right now; I’m...

Shooter chimes in: >> Nebraska men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg, via private jet visits and a “healthy” name, image and license (NIL) deal, got a commitment from Cretin-Derham Hall’s 6-7, 200-pound junior wing Ty Schlagel...

Shooter chimes in (and I don't believe this at all, they will push hard for years and years for a new location, current location is a dead end): Rather than attempt to privately finance a new arena, look for new Timberwolves-Lynx owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez to seek a public-private deal...

Per Shooter: >> Former Gophers football All-American Bobby Bell on Nov. 6 will receive the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development. Bell, 85 is among nine living members of the Gophers’ 1961 Rose Bowl team...

This would surprise me, but per Shooter: >> The early guess for this season’s Minnesota Mr. Basketball Award is 6-foot East Ridge point guard Cedric Tomes, who has committed to the Gophers...

Never. I'm a Gopher fan through and through, memories with family and friends at games, road games, tailgating, etc. If we all judged our affiliation with Gopher football with wins/loses, none of us would be here. And certainly the Fleck Era would be the last Era since Warmath to depart. All...

Year 1 is tough as it's hard for me to place specific win/loss standards, so here is how I view a successful season... - There is more excitement at the end of the season for the following year, than there is now. - We retain the players we see as important building blocks for next year and...

Thought the same thing. Dude must be at least 75, maybe 80+ and he’s balancing on 8 chairs high at NBA games. What a world. Nice win. Hope ANT is back quickly. Howl Wolves!!

Go Northwestern. Go Oregon. Go Gophers!!

Per Chip: Freshman Drake Lindsey has been the team’s best player heading into Saturday’s trophy game at Iowa. That’s not an exaggeration. The No. 1 question mark heading into the season has not been a concern at all. The young guy was more than ready for the assignment. “Show me three Big Ten...

Bill Self chimes in: "Who knows, we may be recruiting one when it is all said and done. I got to know the rule because I didn't know it was just limited to the G-League. I thought a guy could be cut in the NBA and be eligible for college," Self said. "My personal opinion is, I have no idea what...

With two former G League players recently committing to play for Division I schools, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said he doesn't "respect" the NCAA powerbrokers who've allowed those moves to happen. "I am going to get myself in trouble, but I listen to people talk about how kids changed. Kids...

Howl Wolves!!

Both of these guys are risking tens of millions at the chance of winning tens of thousands. Make it make sense! Howl Wolves!!
