    Shama: Sending best wishes to former Golden Gophers basketball guard Melvin Newbern as he faces health challenges.

    Speedy recovery, Melvin, you have the heart of a lion. Racist Prop 48 cost him a year of eligibility—another shameful episode in the history of the NCAA.

    Shama: Sending best wishes to former Golden Gophers basketball guard Melvin Newbern as he faces health challenges.

    If Melvin doesn’t hit the clutch OT three against UTEP there is no ‘90 NCAA tourney run…

    ***OFFICIAL RUTGERS AT MINNESOTA ATHAN’S DAD RETURN IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    We went to the London game last year. Stayed up until 3:30 am watching the narrative of the USC game sitting in a deserted hotel lobby—to the amusement of the night clerk.

    Maroon & Gold Scrimmage: Saturday October 11

    I remember going to an open scrimmage after the ‘81 Minnesota-Wisconsin game—which turned out be the last football game played at Memorial Stadium. The Gophers had ten men on the field when the Badgers scored the winning touchdown. An agitated but slightly bemused Julie Perlt announced...

    So where we all at 3 games in?

    Last season seemed to turn for Brosmer and the team on the long pass completion and remarkable last second, first half field goal in the Michigan game. 2025 needs a spark.

    There’s a Joe Tiller/Drew Beees vibe to the Hoosiers. Great fun to watch. We’re downright sclerotic by comparison.

    5 questions Gophers men's basketball must answer before season opener

    While I don’t expect the Indiana passing game offense of the 1970s a little ball movement from time to time against man defense will be a significant improvement.

    Robert Redford, magnetic Hollywood icon known for his roles in classics like ‘All the President’s Men,’ dies at 89.

    The pairing of Robert Redford and Barbara Streisand in “The Way We Were” was inspired. Somehow I got it into my 4th grade mind it was a World War ll movie (not knowing it was a love story with a backdrop of World War ll) so I asked my mom to take me to the old Hopkins Theater to see it. It was...

    Good game Gophers

    All the best to the Bears—hope they run the board and keep the QB poachers at bay—so to speak. Seems like a first rate triumvirate with Wilcox; Harsin & Rivera running the Berkeley football show. Attending the game brought back memories of our Memorial Stadium built in 1924; left behind for...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Lose a Very Winnable Game at Cal

    A reason for hope: we recovered last year from the Iowa debacle and at least it was not a conference los—two weeks for the coaching staff to address issues and for Darius to heal. That said, tonight daggered much of the energy & interest in the Rutgers game. Just a barbiturate of a...
