Just to clarify my earlier comment..... I wasn't saying it takes a miracle worker to win a championship at Minnesota. What I meant was that it pretty much takes a miracle worker to walk into a program with no championship history and bring home a title in a short amount of time. As I noted in an...

I hope my comments aren't read as being overly-harsh or condescending because that was (and is) never my intent. There's just no "tone of voice" when posting on a message forum. I was merely saying, "hey, relax!" Just keep things in perspective. I was pretty frustrated and disappointed with...

Unfortunately, Shaffmaster has a long ways to go to try and reach Seliger-Swenson's level. Hopefully there will be noticeable improvement over the season. It might be good for the Gophers to enter a tournament in the underdog role instead of the high seed for a change.

Are you s#!tting me? Get a grip. Last season the Gophers finished second in the Big Ten and unlike the other teams near them in the standings, despite all the cancellations, they played every top half Big Ten team except Ohio State. 2019 - finished tied for 2nd, made the Final Four. 2018 -...

That's a lot of "ifs." Only Pittman & Rollins are for sure gone right now. Samedy likely. The other 3 have yet to give any indication of their plans. The Gophers have 4 incoming recruits for the fall - Wolf, Crowl, Gray, and Glenn. You think the Gophers will have trouble finding players to...

Yes, you can make an argument that the Gophers have been the better program over the last two decades. I was just objecting to the use of the word "embarrassment" in this instance. And embarrassment is what our football team has done against Wisconsin for over 2 decades. What did the Gophers...

So none of our highly-touted underclassmen will improve over the off-season? And Samedy and Pittman are incapable of seeing any potential in their teammates? Pro career options and being ready to move on with life is the reason they will likely leave. I don't understand some of the gloomy...

Kentucky's first national championship tonight - 16 years into their coach's tenure. It took Russ Rose 21 years at Penn State to win a national championship. The Texas coach was in his 12th year when Texas won in 2012. Hugh's been here 9 years and the Gophers have finished worse than 15-5 in...

The Gophers obviously were overrated and over-seeded. And it's not their fault for that. It was a short season with no non-conference matches. They likely would have lost more matches if they would have had to face Ohio State twice, Wisconsin again, and some tough opponents in the PAC 12 &...

Since when were the Gophers the clear-cut superior volleyball team to the Badgers? Was this when Wisconsin was in the Final Four in 2014 or lost in the National Championship game in 2000, 2013, and 2019? Or when John Cook was the Badger coach for 7 seasons before heading to Nebraska? Except...

A very entertaining match! Tough to get the ball on the floor against Purdue. And to think they'll rematch again right away tomorrow. Too bad Appiani transferred but what do you do? The Gophers may only have two DS players listed on the roster now but Wenaas, like Rollins, was also a...

I had it wrong. Indiana doesn't have a game, not Illinois. Northwestern also has a bye that mid-week. How about the Gophers go to Northwestern instead of Nebraska then? They are only scheduled to play once, as of right now, and that's at Williams arena.

I can't wait for Saturday. And I can't wait to see all the new gopher players in action. I still think Nebraska is the main threat to rain on Wisconsin's parade. Nebraska returns nearly everyone and easily has the overall talent to match Wiscy. Plus some guy named Cook. Tiffany Clark was a...

Looks like the Wisconsin @ Penn State game that was postponed has been rescheduled. Barry Alvarez must have thrown his weight around to make sure Wisconsin wasn't cheated out of an easy victory game. :sneaky: Oh, and Rutgers @ Penn State today looks like a makeup game as well. Teams with byes...

Do you think any of the "postponed" games will ever be made up? I was just looking at the schedule, and if ESPN is correct, there are only 3 games scheduled next week between Monday and Friday. That means 8 teams have mid-week byes.

What a disappointment. But it was still a beauty to watch. Maybe someday it will be the Gophers up by 40 on a Badger team. A person can dream, can't they? *sigh*....

On the bright side, with Rutgers struggling of late, there might not be any ranked teams left to play on the road for the Gophers. Of course......will the other "lesser" teams also take them to the woodshed every road second half? I guess that's some Nebraska game intrigue.

Looking at 247sports, Michigan has 30 consensus 4 and 5 star recruits in the last 2 recruiting classes. The gophers have 2 total. That might have something to do with it. I hope so too.

If somebody needed any bigger indication that a person was just flat out a below average coach, that was it. I mean....what coach nearly loses a game of 5-3 after having a large lead? If Oturu bolts for the draft, next year is going to be very, very ugly, IMO.

I'm pretty sure the NIT only takes teams with winning overall records.
