It would be interesting to see a historical Ken Pom analysis: where would Musselman; Dutcher and Haskins rank from our ~30 years (of often) competitive basketball: three Big Ten championships wasn’t bad…

Remembering Steve Goldberg kicking a 52? yarder against Purdue in ‘73–one of the first long field goals in Gopher history. It amazed the Memorial Stadium faithful.

Great gelato shops on Tottenham Court Road.

I remember Clem’s second game—at Houston, IIRC. Although we lost, we scored about 40 points in the first with great ball movement and screens. It was a revelation after the offensive stagnation of the latter Dutcher years. Hoping Niko’s coaching sends the same jolt of energy through the program.

The saddest note about tonight’s game is the team played hard and BC still controlled most of the game. The second saddest note is an air of resignation is already settling-in among the faithful. You could hear conversations two/three rows away in the arena.

Fleck must look at the home schedule and see a chance to win every game with Nebraska as the toughest opponent. Unfortunately, he has a team with little margin for error barring considerable improvement as the season progresses. There’s a good chance every home game is a one score game. Team...

Agreed—teams are allowed to have fun. Wondering, also, it if was a bit of a message about losing the Perich recruiting battle. “This could have been you!” I cringed when I read the Saturday Strib story—more fuel for the Buckeye fire.

We have lost three of our last four games against OSU & Michigan by a combined 131-16. We’re seemingly as far away as ever.

0-3 the last two weeks.

Harbaugh vs Patricia (sp?) is about as one-sided as it gets…

On a nostalgic note with Michigan Tech coming to town it’s more or less the 50th anniversary of the three consecutive NCAA hockey finals between the Gophers & Huskies. I was in 5th; 6th & 7th grade in those years. (The 74-75 season was our first year with season tickers.). A few memoirs...

Walter Mondale’s memorial service at Northrup Auditorium concluded with the band playing the Rouser and the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The former baffled the non-Minnesotans.

To paraphrase “Casablanca”: “we’ll always have the Rashad & Diggs miracle touchdowns”. Amazingly, the Browns pain for the season only deepened when Brian Sipe threw, in the divisional playoff round, the end zone interception against the Raiders when Cleveland was in position to kick a game...

Yes—the depth of his respect knows no bounds as he poaches Phillip Daniels for a program with an endless pipeline of talent.

Nothing like beating Michigan at the buzzer with a half courter and now making the Pistons’ camp roster to remind the Wolverine fateful of their excruciating loss…

It’s been a long time since we’ve had any identity: Musselman—tough match-up zone, Dutcher (through ‘83): strong post play & good shooting; Haskins: intensity & rebounding—the teams & the coaches of the last 25 years blend together, sadly…

Same with us. It was our second trip after the painful loss in 2004. No need to return.

Drake not “Chace”…

The @OSU game will provide an apt comparison: Athan—2023 as a first year starter—and Chace 2025 as a first year starter.

Sadly, Darius is becoming the Tony Hunter of our age—recover quickly, young man.
