Great blocking. Need to keep the middle involved in the offense later in the match when things are getting tighter (but you need to pass well for this). Team hit pretty efficient. Wucherer needs to stop being afraid of the block. It is OK to get blocked sometimes. Take a rip at it, make the...

Knowing the extent of the U booster budget, somebody probably offered to give Bateman their 30% Bed Bath and Beyond coupons. And we'd turn ourselves in and self-impose the death penalty.

I basically just assume that every program that has fallen off the cliff this decade was one of the programs that was paying players before it was legal. Lost their edge.

Anyone who watched the Gophers last year knew that Taylor Landfair in that form was not going to be playing much for Nebraska. John Cook requires 100% at all facets of the game. Landfair tips/offspeeds too much and doesn't give the required effort on defense. I was hoping for her sake that she...

If you're going to be predictable, you need to have better players. He either needs to recruit better or he needs to mix things up. Lately, I get the feeling he's more interested in protecting his paycheck by playing it safe. I probably would too, it's way too much money.

I wonder if that's what they teach kids at journalism school these days. Just ballpark the amount of time, it's OK if you have a bad sense of it.

Super cool that the Gopher Basketball beat writer doesn't even know how many years the coach has been there.

Landfair playing one set and getting set zero times and registering zero stats is extremely telling. She will play this year, but for a team with Championship aspirations, she's a depth/role player. She doesn't hit the ball hard enough, she's not quick and she doesn't play good enough defense...

Bleed why do you spam your own website

Ok eeyore.

I flew back from the Sun Bowl in the middle seat between 2 Gopher OLmen so I've already done 6.

I'm not convinced Marcus even knows the slightest thing about volleyball. Did he really write hitting percentages as XX.X?

Oh no, what will they do without an old man on the sidelines? The proper punishment should be making Iowa wait an extra week to contact people after the portal opens.

Sydney Squires had a brace in her first game, so it's not even that. Who knows where they got that idea, and who knows why they decided to run with it. Having a freshman scoring 2 goals is a nice problem to have.

I'm not sure why they're running with this "FIRST BRACE IN GOPHER FRESHMAN HISTORY" storyline when there have been several braces by freshmen in the past. But, I need to let it go. Good to see they might have a goalscorer on the team. College soccer becomes a much easier sport when you have one...

Looks like the buzz around Birdsell was correct.

#1 has to be Bret Bielema right? Or did I not understand the assignment.

I always find it so funny -- guarding exhibition college soccer game scores like national secrets. If Chastain wants to keep her job, the Gophers are going to have to start scoring goals in 2024. If they finish 14th as predicted, her seat is very hot next season. There is some early buzz...

There is a big, lurking danger that comes with the massive consolidation in college sports. What are the new goalposts for the middling programs? It's considerably harder to win the conference with more teams, even if you ignore the haves and the have nots. A team like Minnesota might never win...

And it featured several errors.
