Should be an exciting 2nd half.

That I had no idea the Gophers played last night. I thought the game was tonight. Logged on to my computer this morning to see they actually played NW last night. I've been really busy at work that I got the dates messed up. I can't remember a time where that has happened before. Looking at...

During the Syracuse v Georgetown game tonight, John Saunders has three times promoted tomorrow's ESPN's lineup of college basketball games. Each time he said Illinois vs Michigan at 8 PM tomorrow night. One time is a mistake. 2 times is an embarrassment. 3 times is just wrong. He probably has...

I ran into a high school friend last night at the Social who has worked with the FB team since the Mason years. He's one of the few that have survived the 2 recent regime changes. Gopherkinta and I picked his brain for a while. Some interesting takes/opinions: - Ted Roof realized within the...

Not the Chicago variety but the buy or sell metaphor for Gopher FB units: Bullish: 1. OL - I think over the next year or 2, you'll see a dramatic increase in play from our offensive line. I like the emphasis put on the position the past 2 classes with some of our most highly rated recruits...

Check out St. John's schedule to start the Big East season: Mon, Jan 3 - vs #13 Georgetown Sat, Jan 8 - @ #15 Notre Dame Wed, Jan 12 - #4 Syracuse Sun, Jan 16 - vs #15 Notre Dame Wed, Jan 19 - @ #23 Louisville Sat, Jan 22 - vs #25 Cincinnati Wed, Jan 26 - @ #13 Georgetown Sun, Jan 30 - vs #1...

I've been a season ticket holder (2 tickets) for the past 7 years, all but the last I lived in either Madison, WI or Houston, TX (now a resident of the Twin Cities). I've been devoted to the program, spending alot of money on travel alone just to see the Gophers play, all in the name of hope...

Epic fail. This UVa team is garbage and our D (especially from someone that can't handle his off-the-court life) is making them look like a bunch of Larry Bird's. God this team was full of themselves entering this game. Guess what? You're no better than a last place ACC team with that...

Seriously...the last time we played Indiana was Oct 4th, 2008. The next time we play Indiana will be no earlier than 2013 with a chance it gets pushed to 2015. With the 2-year rotation in cross-division opponents, there's basically a 1 in 3 chance we'll go 6 years without playing Indiana...

GO TO HELL

I have a friend of a friend that worked in the athletic department and has connections and a name popped up that I had never considered. The more I think about it, the more I like it. His name is Mickey Matthews and he's the current head coach at James Madison. The same James Madison that...

1. Duke - May not finish #1 but they certainly deserve to be #1 heading into the year given what they return and what's coming into the program 2. Michigan St - Experienced guards to go along with their always trusty defense and rebounding lands them at #2. Izzo is a heck of a coach. 3...

Gophs come in at #29 if you account for "also receiving votes." 5 BT teams in the top 25 (MSU-2, OSU-5, Purdue-8, Illinois-16, Wisconsin-24). 8 for Purdue seems a bit high without Hummel. Wonder if some finished their ballots prior to the injury. I see them more in the mid to high teens...

At 4 PM CST today on ESPNU, Quincy Miller, LeBryan Nash, and Deuce Bello, all members of the 2011 recruiting class, will announce their college choices. According to RSCIhoops.com composite rankings, Miller comes in at #4, Nash at #9, and Bello at #37. Rumors are that they'll all pick Baylor...

Kevin Sumlin Reasons I like him as the next Gopher Head Coach: 1. He has 3 years of head coaching experience, with success at a program (Houston) that was cruddy since Ware and Klingler left. 2. His connections to the state of Texas and Oklahoma run deep, which is good for recruiting. Since...

I took a look at every BCS team's Non-conference schedules and came up with a top 10 and bottom 10 in terms of strength of schedule. This is my own personal opinion with some help from College football power rankings from a variety of sources (Phil Steele, Yahoo, etc) Note: I tend to give the...

It hasn't been a good run of placing players into the league recently. I know the BT is returning a lot of talent next year but many returned because they were on the the fence of being drafted. Only Turner is guaranteed to be drafted tonight. Manny Harris is the only other player I've seen...

I looked back and couldn't find a recent thread discussing this topic, otherwise I wouldn't start a new one. Now that the season is over, it's appealing to me to predict what next year's Challenge will look like. I looked at previous matchups, rules, and predictions for next year's teams to...

Mine is great, thanks for asking, :)
