    Athletic: There are far more college football jobs on the market than quality coaches

    I've only really known one P4 coach, and his take was that for the vast amount of time, the teams with the best players end up winning. He couldn't say that publicly, but he did say it in private. At the P4 level, every coach knows fundamentals and how to make game plans and adjustments. It's...

    All Things MN United Season Thread

    Great game last night - best I've been to in a long time. Absolutely terrible ref, Alexis Da Silva, but that certainly got the crowd into the game. Five yellow cards for us, none for Seattle. For baseball fans, Alexis Da Silva is the equivalent of Ángel Hernández, except his focus is making...

    Greatest individual sports achievement in Gopher history.

    And one more... Gable Steveson won his second NCAA Division I Wrestling National Championship in the heavyweight (285-pound) division on March 21, 2022, at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. He defeated Arizona State's Cohlton Schultz 6-2 in the final to cap an undefeated 34-0 season...

    Greatest individual sports achievement in Gopher history.

    Here's another one for the books... Austin Felix's performance on March 9, 2014 at the College Fishing National Bass Fishing Championship at Lake Keowee in Seneca, South Carolina where he led the duo team of himself and Chris Burgan to win the national title. It's a three-day competition...

    Greatest individual sports achievement in Gopher history.

    I'm going with Troy Stoudermire in the Meineke Car Care Bowl against Texas Tech on December 28, 2012. On his first kickoff return in that game, he set the NCAA FBS record for career kickoff return yards. He returned the opening kickoff 26 yards, bringing his career total to 3,530 yards...

    ***OFFICIAL NEBRASKA AT MINNESOTA, BUDDING RIVALRY, $5 BITS OF BROKEN CHAIR IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    10th sack. The refs robbed us of one that happened at 1:47 in the 3rd quarter. They placed the ball as though Raiola made the line, but he didn't.

    Predict the Score Thread: Nebraska at Minnesota

    Dominating Running Game = 186 yards rushing (148 for Taylor) Dominating Pass Rush = 15 hurries, 12 hits and 10 sacks (yes, it's 10, the refs with their ball placement robbed us of one that happened at 1:47 of the third quarter).

    15 years ago today, Tim Brewster was fired.

    Brew actually praised the program, plus continued to support the players after he left. That's even though he had what I'd call some significant issues he could have complained about on how he was treated at the U. When it came to football, Maturi IMO was a terrible AD. He basically threw Brew...

    Concessions at the Barn are whack

    Isn't the price at the "Bank" for this a bit over $20?

    In real Vikings news, it looks like Blake Cashman is ready to play, hopefully we'll see him get some snaps.

    Predict the Score Thread: Nebraska at Minnesota

    Gophers: To infinity and beyond. Corn Pickers: To the depths of Atlantis. PJ knew he had the Purdue game in hand, so for the first three quarters, they pretended like they couldn't run the ball on O and get any QB pressure on D. It was all a setup for the Nebby game. We'll come out with a...

    Post Game Thread: Drake, Koi Lead Gophers to Crazy Comeback Homecoming Win!!

    Full disclosure - she used to work at Purdue. She was rubbing it in that the Boilers outgained us in a single run, and it was only an 18-yard run at that...

    Post Game Thread: Drake, Koi Lead Gophers to Crazy Comeback Homecoming Win!!

    Game Thoughts: The highlight through the 3rd quarter was Chad Smith (drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers) taking center field for the marching band. A drum kit being part of a marching band is pretty wild, and having Chad Smith driving it was great. The performance of the team through three...

    Let the music play - new Concert Reviews/Experiences

    Last Friday I went to see Durry at First Ave. It's the kickoff of their new "This Movie Sucks" tour, this time mostly staying in the U.S. (a few stops in Canada). I've been following these folks over the years, from "Marah and Mainsail" to "Coyote Kid" to now "Durry". They've slogged through a...
