    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    You've clearly never tried to move around US Bank stadium. That place is a mess to move between the various levels and clubs.

    Meet the No. 1 Gophers men's basketball managers

    That is kind of funny they let coaches play, Ben should lace them up.

    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    We didn't start averaging under 10k until the Ben Johnson era. Call me an optimist that we've already hit rock bottom.

    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    The TV camera angle is awful. The student section behind the benches is tiny. The stands are too far away from the floor because of course they had to have two rows of courtside seating followed by an empty walkway to separate those people with money from the commoners. It's smaller because...

    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    I'm talking about a 2-3 story lobby that could certainly have an escalator that connects to the upper deck.

    Baylor's New Arena Opens tonight

    The courtside seats are so lame, if you're building an arena for basketball and not hockey you don't need all that extra space and you should move the main seating closer to the court, but they had to have all this extra room and empty space so they can give the VIPs space from the commoners.

    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    So you build a bigger lobby with more concessions and bathrooms, that has zero to do with needing a whole new arena. It also doesn't take a new arena or even a renovated lobby to switch out concessions if the food isn't currently what you're looking for. The new arena would lack all of the...

    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    What amenities are you looking for? Do we think recruits really care how many bathrooms are up on the suite level?

    Shooter: Minnesota, conceptually, has considered either renovating Williams Arena or building a new arena in the parking lots north of arena

    Just expand the lobbies, and win some more games. People calling for a whole new arena just because they don't like the number of bathrooms are insane.

    Reusse: Foolish for Gophers to continue avoiding St. Thomas hoops rivalry

    The 2nd reaction doesn't make any sense, the other two are obvious reactions that everyone would have because it would be an upset. The first reaction that everyone will have is that it was a fun game and good to see the barn a little more lively. Hopefully the beginning of a great rivalry.

    Reusse: Foolish for Gophers to continue avoiding St. Thomas hoops rivalry

    We're only talking about making one non-conference game interesting and competitive. They can do that even if they'll be the heavy underdog most years.

    Reusse: Foolish for Gophers to continue avoiding St. Thomas hoops rivalry

    Based on last night they're clearly good enough to compete against some of the best teams in the Big East, so I'm not sure why it would matter to us what conference they play in.

    Reusse: Foolish for Gophers to continue avoiding St. Thomas hoops rivalry

    Ben would pay 100k out of his own pocket to avoid having to play the Tommies. Look at the schedule this year, it's absolutely ridiculous. He had lower expectations for this team than almost any of the haters here.

    Reusse: Foolish for Gophers to continue avoiding St. Thomas hoops rivalry

    How about our non-conferene opponents this year? Can anyone of the cowards in this thread name even 3 of those teams they'd rather see than St. Thomas?

    Reusse: Foolish for Gophers to continue avoiding St. Thomas hoops rivalry

    Obviously it would be a gopher home game, and attendance would also be obviously higher than for the majority of our awful non-conference slate. It's just embarassing to refuse to play them.

    NDSU HC leaving for USC assistant role

    Moving to the MVFC would be an enormous jump for the Tommies, I don't see it happening for at least 15 years.

    FCS Playoffs

    Ben Bartch, currently playing for the 49ers. They recently had Ravi Alston transfer up to Montana State, and their TE Alex Larson might get some looks at the NFL.

    FCS Playoffs

    I mean the FCS powers already do play the MN's of the world, they wouldn't play them much more often as a part of the MAC or MWC. Liberty managed to play a whole FBS schedule without playing anyone better than South Dakota State. The second level has always been the G5 and the FCS powers, just...

    All Things 2023 D2/D3 Hoops

    The Johnnies gave the Cobbers their first loss 77-70 last night, thanks to a 27 point effort from Thissen including 4-4 from 3. Found some highlights, but unfortunately they're completey one sided as some sports information departments think the only way to show highlights is to pretend their...
