    Match 4: Gophers visit Florida (9-3-23)

    Disappointing match. It looked like Florida scouted the Gophers well and knew their tendencies. The Gophers looked tight. Florida outplayed the Gophers in most areas, especially on defense. The Gophers could not adjust. It was good to see Cook make some changes in the third set even though...

    Match 3: Gophers Host Texas (8-29-23)

    Gophers had their chances. Sloppy play at critical times killed them. Everyone had their good moments. Wucherer needs to learn when to hit the "Wuch" out of the ball and when to take the "Wuch" off it. Landfair needs to step up in big moments. Shaffmaster was steady. Murr made many...

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    Excellent play. Gophers didn't let Baylor get much rhythm. Great team work. Best defense that the Gophers have played in a long time. Everyone made the best out of their playing time. It will be interesting to see how they play against Texas. It may be hard for them to maintain this high...

    MSR: The Cook Era Begins

    Good start to the Cook Era tonight. The first set was disappointing--maybe, they were a little too excited. In the next sets, the team work and defense improved, and they put together some good runs. Murr and Grote had great debuts as gophers. Wucherer and Landfair were solid, especially...

    What Regan Pittman is Doing Now

    Great to see Regan's venture. I enjoyed watching her play and wish her the best. The website is very endearing and interesting. However, I didn't think the differences between courses, classes, and lessons were clear and what they might entail. Maybe, it is really early in the development...

    Strack: Do Not Rule Eric Musselman Out as Next Gophers MBB Coach

    Get over it people. Musselman was not a serious candidate for the Minnesota coaching job because Arkansas was way ahead of Minnesota in recruiting him. Furthermore, he inherited a stronger nucleus of players than he would of had at Minnesota. The Razorback foundation also has lots of money...

    What is the best current uniform combination?

    The Gophers only need three uniforms: gold, maroon, and white. That is 9 combinations. Several years ago, the Gophers were bragging about new uniforms and how many different uniforms that had. I think gold should be part of any uniform combination because we are the Golden Gophers. I think...

    Oregon, Washington ‘Vetted and Cleared’ to Join Big Ten: Brett McMurphy

    What is the status of Stanford? They are a plum for some conference to pick.

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    I doubt that it hurts anything. His staff can keep in contact with potential recruits. He can call a recruit if they need to "set the hook." The fact that he is coaching the U-19 is an endorsement of his coaching credentials and will help with recruitment not hurt it.

    Rose into the Portal

    I was sorry to see Micheaux leave. She was a huge asset to the team. She would have had plenty of playing time with Hart coming in. What the Gophers lacked last year was someone who could spell Micheaux, keep her fresh, help keep her out of foul trouble, and provide quality minutes. My gut...

    Plitzuweit's assistant coaches

    Great decisions. Outstanding continuity. They won't be starting from scratch. I feel sorry for West Virginia. They are really starting over and getting a late start. Memo to Coach P.: Do not schedule West Virginia.

    Coaches to Watch

    Nuts to an "M-person" or someone with Minnesota connections. Nuts to male vs. female. Nuts to a coach of color vs. non-colored coach. Nuts to a coach from the Upper Midwest. Nuts to hiring on the cheap. We have got to get this hire right. We need to reduce the constraints. We need to be open...

    Gopher Women's Hockey 2022-23 Season

    Ever notice how they stack WCHA teams on one side of a bracket or rig it so WCHA teams play each other early in the tournament. Minnesota may have to go through their two biggest rivals to get to the championship game.

    BREAKING: Mark Coyle and Lindsay Whalen announced today that Whalen will step down as head coach, effective immediately.

    I think she is saying that her daughter wanted to play for Lindsey and she has had one huge disappointment already from getting hurt, losing her season, and I will bet that she is worried about how long it will take to come back. The last part suggests to me that the players like Lindsey a lot...

    BREAKING: Mark Coyle and Lindsay Whalen announced today that Whalen will step down as head coach, effective immediately.

    Thank you for your comments and wish we had your perspective. I hope Gopher athletes do not read the Gopher Hole because there is too much negativity. I hope they listen to their coaches and focus on what they have to do on the court and in the classroom.
