    Gophers offer WKU transfer DB Beanie Bishop

    If he signs, let's hope Fleck will let him jumpstart the return kicking game

    Maybe we can trade for ISU?

    Hoiberg/Nebraska RUMOR

    Well look what we ended up with in 2013..... ISU had only been to the NCAA tournament once in ten years when Hoiberg took over in 2010 and he turned the Cyclones around pretty quickly. (And to consistently finish 2nd or 3rd in the Big 12 is not easy.) I think it was a combination of a Gopher...

    Gopher Volleyball 2021-Fall Season

    Not saying she isn't worthy of the praise, but I am sure I am not the only one who is glad to finally have Dana Rettke in the rearview mirror.

    An Awesome Play, from 80 Years Ago

    If you love Gopher football history, this movie is certainly worth your while. Lots of vintage gopher football video highlights from the Smith years (1939-1941), including the 80 yard run against Michigan in 1940. It was kind of the sequel of sorts to "Harmon of Michigan" - a film that...

    An Awesome Play, from 80 Years Ago

    Egad - let's get this thing sorted out. The "play" shown on the video, which is arguably the most famous single play in Minnesota Gopher football history, was from November 9, 1940 (81 years ago) and played at Memorial Stadium. In that game the Gophers defeated #1 Michigan 7-6 thanks to...

    Gopher Volleyball 2021-Fall Season

    Brief recap of today's action. Tournament has largely become an ACC (3-0 today) and Big Ten (4-2) affair. Louisville, Pittsburgh and GA Tech all had straight set impressive wins - Wisconsin and Nebraska won easily as well. Purdue continues to be the cardiac kids – down 14-10 in the fifth set...

    Shama: It will be interesting to see if U athletic director Mark Coyle is mentioned for the Florida State job.

    FWIW - Michael Alford was just announced as the new FSU AD. Vince Tyra, Louisville AD was thought to have the inside track - Louisville Board of Trustees had even waived the ACC non-compete agreement - but it did not come to pass for some reason. In what should not be a surprise I guess, FSU...

    Gopher Volleyball 2021-Fall Season

    Should know better - - thought after set 1 that a Baylor sweep was likely; - after set 3 (down 2-1) and Samedy misfiring, was glad that "at least they won a set"; - down 6-2 in the 5th and gophers looking out of sorts, thought "no way." Wow. Hoping that UCLA sticks it to Bucky!

    Volleyball Recruiting - 2023

    Curious as to how Wucherer will be used - she only has one year of eligibility remaining. Listed as a both a setter and an opposite - seems to have be used mostly as a setter at No. Kentucky (and is "only" 5'9"). Could be that Hugh wants an experienced setter as Shaffmaster's backup with some...

    Ben Johnson and this team

    I may now actually cough up the $10 to watch the Green Bay and Alcorn State games on B1G+ later this month

    Why did Wisconsin get Las Vegas over us???

    FWIW - was at the Colorado game. Locals were impressed - said the only team that traveled better to Boulder than MN was Nebraska. This is even going back to the Big 8 days of OK fans.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MISSISSIPPI STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    And despite all the minutes, only Curry had foul trouble (4), Loewe had 3, no one else with more than 1. Johnson's emphasis obviously is to prevent transition and fast break baskets - give up the offensive rebound, but minimize turnovers and get back on defense quickly. Also the low number of...

    Gopher Volleyball 2021-Fall Season

    Let's just say that I heard from a fairly reliable source that CC is not necessarily out for the remainder of the year and that her issue is not "injury-related."

    Gopher Volleyball 2021-Fall Season

    Looking around at some of the other results, the big shocker was Illinois beating #7 Kentucky 3-1 in Lexington. But then again, nearly all SEC teams lost this weekend (Tennessee, Ole Miss, Kentucky, South Carolina, Miss State), only Florida (16th ranked) survived. Big Ten had a respectable...

    Star Trib still has Gophers in Guaranteed Rate Bowl

    According to the StarTrib's logic then - had Iowa somehow won yesterday (thus no one from the Big 10 going to CFP), we would have be relegated to the Quick Lane Bowl vs a MAC team.

    In all of these big boy games today, I've noticed

    And until the NCAA figures out what to do about some sort of standardization of pass interference calls, "passing for penalties" will remain the playbooks for many OC's.
