    Gopher Women's Hockey 2022-23 Season

    Apparently, Emily Sadler does not think women in the State of Hockey have much influence on women's hockey.

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    Baylor, Houston, and Rice are ranked in the top 25. I would hope she would be able to join a top ten or top five team. I am sorry to see her leave. I thought she improved her game all-around this year.

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    It is fantastic that Taylor is stoked for the new chapter in Gopher volleyball. I suspect that other starters feel the same way or Taylor's decision will have a positive influence on them. Go Gophers.

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    There is an interesting article about the number of transfer players on the final 16 volleyball teams (https://volleyballmag.com/ncaa-volleyball-report-120622/). Texas led with 7 transfers. Houston had 6. Wisconsin, Penn State, and San Diego had 5. Minnesota and Pittsburgh had 4. There...

    Game 12: Gophers host Milwaukee (12-14-22)

    Good win. Some great ball movement and defense. The number of players scoring in double figures lately is impressive. It is good to see the bench get more playing time. I think our bench players have improve greatly and are now making important contributions. I hate it when Katie is the...

    Those of you who follow Twitter and other social media, have you seen any posts from the Gopher volleyball players? It would be interesting to know the responses of team members.

    Next Volleyball Coach

    A big reason that Cook may be leaving is that the Pac-12 may be coming apart with UCLA and USC joining the Big Ten. Washington needs to make a decision on where they are going. If Stanford leaves the Pac-12, the conference will be very weak. Another reason that Cook is leaving is that he can...

    Game 11: Gophers host Chicago State (12-12-22)

    Nice win. They didn't have a ton of pressure so they could really focus on moving the ball, running their plays, and trying some things. I wish they would have had this game earlier in the season and build up to Iowa and the Big Ten in a stepwise fashion. Many players got time and are...

    Next Volleyball Coach

    Great hire. We got someone from a very strong volleyball conference. He has much coaching experience especially considering his age. He has major college experience and international experience. He has had good success and hopefully can expand on it at Minnesota. I think most of our players...

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    I disagree that Minnesota does not play as a team and are a bunch of individuals. I think they know their roles and positions well. The problem is that they were weak on digging and passing the ball. If you are frequently getting bad passes, it is hard to set up and execute. Furthermore...

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    Disappointing. It is nice to make your seed but they fell short. They fought and played hard, which is very important. If is difficult to face a familiar foe in the NCAA. Ohio State did a better job of digging and passing. It was still a fun season watching the team develop and win some...

    Game 9: Gophers Host Kentucky (12-7-22)

    It was a doable game for the Gophers. I hope they learned something from it. It was a high energy game and the effort was excellent. If they shot free throws well (only 55%), they would have won. Some of the other players need to help Rose out in the paint on rebounding and defense. We have...

    Game 9: Gophers Host Kentucky (12-7-22)

    Actually, I would rather see a Gold Out. The quality of Big+ will mean that it will look like a brown out or a black out. It won't look Maroon unless there are close ups.

    Next Four Grade (Big Ten/Power 5 Matchups)

    Based on their record, I would give them a B-. One might argue that they now know how they are being tested and they will do better. However, this is the beginning of the course and the hard material is coming. I don't think that I will grade this season only on the W-L record. I will look...

    B1G Game 1: Gophers Host Penn State (12-3-22)

    I think Lindsay did a fantastic job of managing the team at the end of the 4th period and during the overtimes. Lindsay has been there many times before and I think her experience and calmness were impactful.

    MP: Pat Borzi: How Can U Volleyball Turn a Profit?

    If the University wants to turn a profit on volleyball, then they need to get their product on TV and get advertising revenue. Most people cannot afford to subscribe to BIG+ along with the other things that they may need to subscribe to or are already subscribed to. Streaming on BIG+ is poor...

    B1G Game 1: Gophers Host Penn State (12-3-22)

    This team has Fight! They can have ice water in their veins. They just need to get more consistent. Cut down turnovers. Get more rebounds. Play defense the whole game. They showed at the end of the game and in the overtime that they can play good defense. Exciting team to watch and a...

    Penn St. went on an 18-2 run in the 3rd. Where is the defense?

    Game 7 Gophers Host Wake Forest (11-30-22)

    Disappointing. Too many bad passes in the paint. Braun should shoot every other time down the court. Braun taking a bad shot is still a higher percentage than many of the other players wide open. At times, they rebound well and other times they don't seem to want to fight for the ball.
