    High School spring practice

    Those sports/ clubs don’t just train, they play games and lots of them. That isn’t ever going to happen for football due to the nature of the sport and also due to the structure of it. Training in football is year round and has been for quite some time. It’s games that are limited to the...

    Gopher volleyball 2024

    There are numerous examples of guys in football who get recruited at one position and end up playing a different one. If there are 5 Opposites, they all aren't going to see the court - asking one or two to switch positions doesn't seem like that big of a deal. If they really want to play and...

    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    I'd like to see it remain with a major renovation of the interior. Turn most if not all the obstructed view areas into suites on the lower level and concessions/restrooms on the upper level. No idea what that would do to capacity. Get rid of Bench seats. Would think you could get or would...

    High School spring practice

    WTF are you even saying here? Year your training in Speed, Strength and Agility is happening already. Some do it through the school and others will do it by going to a training center like ETS. Spring football will not happen as they already have summer "training camp" . Some schools will do...

    High School spring practice

    Football year round is not feasible. It's not something you can play in the winter - unless you have a domed field and there are not many 100 yard domed fields. Spring practice isn't happening anytime soon here for a couple reasons - It would take kids away from their spring sport season -...

    Saban Retiring. Was one heck of a run.

    Saban should become D1 Football commissioner

    At 3-1, are the Gophers good, does the B1G stink, or is it a little of both?

    Payne only needs to make 13 in a row to reach 50% on the year. If he can make 50 to 60% from here on out is a realistic goal. Really needs to get out of his own head once at the line. Maybe he should start breathing through his eye lids.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Yep, we would have then been discussing how great of a drive and dish from Hawkins to Garcia for a lay in at the buzzer was and what a nicely designed play CBJ drew up.

    And then be able to use the draft capital gained to pick the right guys? Right now, I’d say no. Keep JJ and hope Kwai can finally hit on a couple picks.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    I would agree with you for situations in which an experienced head coach takes over a program. To me a first time ever head coach should have a longer leash to establish himself. I know you and others don’t buy into that philosophy, but that is what the Gopher situation is. BJ didn’t choose...

    The Fox is on the loose!

    The limp could be from when he went off the elevated floor.

    The Fox is on the loose!

    They are both important to the team in different ways. Ihnen will contribute more with scoring and some rebounding, plus he can play D against smaller guys. He's been very streaky with his shooting, which considering he didn't play for two years is understandable. Fox impacts the game without...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Not be in Weakling Wednesday, however many wins that takes and he should be back. Guessing it will be around 7 wins needed to stay out of playing that day. It is year 3, and years 1 and 2 were not good, but I put more of those years on Coyle than B Johnson. I know you aren't going to like...

    All Things 2024 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Order of preference: 1 Sign JJ 2 Sign Danielle at a reasonable number (no idea what that is) 3 Keep the pick and draft best DL or DB on the board. 4 Sign Kirk, but only at a team friendly value. If Atl or someone wants to pay him 40 mil a year, let them. 5. Look to the second round for the QB...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    The proof that this team is better than year 1 this. Peyton Willis and Jamison Battle carried that team to many of the victories and if one of them wasn't having a good game, then an L was a certainty. This year, two guys are not carrying us to victories. Vs. Nebraska 5 guys were in double...

    ***OFFICIAL MARYLAND AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Agreed and a second one goes to Fox for his play today. The two drawn fouls on Reese in the first half were huge.

    Going into the Big Ten season, the Gophers team is?...

    They played so shi77y that Mich came back and w…wait, I just looked and we actually won the game. We had a 4 pt lead after the under 4 TO and the 2 FT’s of Michigan coming out of the break. Got a nice bucket from Payne on one possession, a great drive and dish by Hawkins to JoJ for a monster...

    2023-24 National Championship: Michigan vs Washington

    The Michigan run game will be too much for Washington to handle. That will allow scUM to control the clock and keep the ball out of M Penix hands. For Washington to win, they have to get an early lead and make Michigan throw the ball more because of it. They need to win the toss and elect to...
