This is such hilarious whataboutism. I’m sorry there isn’t an equivalent word for Irish people to use for themselves. You’re right, the word is rooted in racism. But if you genuinely believe that black people using the word amongst themselves is racist, then I don’t know what to tell you...

People love to use cancel culture as some sort of boogeyman. Changing the name of a product because of changing societal standards is not cancel culture. Same goes for changing a team name (Redskins, Indians). It’s okay to look at a name, say “maybe this doesn’t fly anymore”, and adjust...

Every time a non-sports topic comes up on this board, it’s incredible to see how out of touch some posters are. Still using the word “negro” regularly? Really?? At that point, you’re being intentionally ignorant using a word with a negative connotation. In a vacuum, I wouldn’t say what Gundy...

Don’t think that’s accurate for next season. Haven’t seen any emails about student tickets being out, in the past they’ve been released in the May/June timeframe.

Right, I hate Davison as much as the next guy but I have to respect his pettiness with wanting to stay and sing Varsity.

Exactly. We knew Willis would be a leader, but no one expected him to be as successful as he has been. His success should get more eyes on the Gophers from players looking to transfer.

We’ve all seen Tampa Bay’s “rowing” celebration, but I didn’t realize how big it was for their defense. Awesome to see how much of a leader AWJr is in just his second year.

It’s honestly impressive how quickly you made 2 blatantly untrue statements to try to say Fleck is bad. He has some shortcomings that you could bring up to make a decent counterpoint, but instead you chose garbage. Well done.

Yeah I don’t buy the “Fleck is too loyal to Tanner” takes at all, especially with the willingness Fleck has shown to move on from his own coordinators when they aren’t getting it done.

This thread is a good reminder that we all need to make an effort to be welcoming to visiting fans, especially families. I was walking back to Como after the Penn State game and was behind some PSU fans. They had a lot of nasty insults thrown their way from students that definitely crossed the...

As much as that chart has become a meme on here, you're exactly right. A key aspect I'd also like to point out is that the floor gets a bit higher with each drop-off. You look at teams like Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State; their letdown years are typically low to mid-tier bowl games. We're...

Had a couple classes with Blaise my freshman year, dude is a genius and just a good guy. He deserves all of the success coming his way.

We’ve been waiting to see what they’d look like against the size of the B1G. Well, I’d say Dickinson is certainly in the top tier of centers, and look what happened. Battle was great all night, but he was boxing out Dickinson all night and getting board after board. Ben Johnson is the truth.

Let’s see the response here Ben, don’t let ‘em even have hope.

Loewe is absolutely fearless and I love it

Love how aggressive they’ve looked putting the ball on the floor and driving to the basket.

This will probably the toughest road schedule we’ve seen under Fleck. @PSU, @MSU, and @Wisconsin at the tail end of the season will be a major test.

I see a lot of similarities between us and ISU right now. The main difference is that Otz has head coaching experience and was able to get a higher level of talent in his first year. We should look at the Cyclones as a target for the Gophers’ near future. I have some ISU connections so they’re...

I think the student section will stay solid through B1G play. There’s one thing that has always bothered me about the arena experience in the Barn. The team goes on a run, the crowd gets on their feet and gets loud, and then the opposing coach of course calls a time out. The pep band then plays...
