    ***OFFICIAL NIKO MEDVED OPENING PRESS CONFERENCE THREAD!!!***

    I wish that he would have given a statement at the start instead of just going to questions. IIRC when Holtz was hired he stated, "I do not have a magic wand, but we will work hard...." IMHO Holtz did have somewhat of a magic wand - his knack for playcalling is rarely seen.

    NCAA Tournament 2025

    OK, this is not a new take, but the NCAA is a joke as far as women's hoops goes. SDSU is required to go to Storrs to play UCONN. The outcome would not have been different at another site, but give me a break.

    ***OFFICIAL NIKO MEDVED OPENING PRESS CONFERENCE THREAD!!!***

    Pretty much agree with this. But something that Kill said during his tenure also rings true IMHO. The Gophers (football and basketball) have a very small margin for error. They have to be super consistent/fundamental and have a bit of luck vs. top tier competition, or they will end up on the...

    Favorite John Feinstein Book

    Last week I think it was NPR that replayed an interview with Feinstein. I have not read any of his books, but I will now.

    Paul Flatley dead at 84

    As a Northwestern alum he seemed to be all Golden Gopher behind the mic. Enjoyed his analysis.

    Minnesota to Start Spring Practice on March 20

    How much do you think the threat of injury has to do with the decision?

    Max Brosmer trying to become first Gophers quarterback drafted since 1972

    Its been a couple of years but a friend who is much better at sports trivia than me, and IIRC, he said that Curry might have been drafted as a DB or WR. Any truth to that? I thought that Curry was on his hometown Dolphin's roster for a year or two. Go Gophers!

    Pulitzer Prize For Best GH Post

    This could be fun. It looks like there is no set criteria for Pulitzers, the board just decides what is "distinguished." 3. What are the criteria for the judging of The Pulitzer Prizes? There are no set criteria for the judging of the Prizes. The definitions of each category (see How to Enter...

    Favorite Minnesota North Stars memories

    Not a favorite memory but a memory. I recall Al Shaver describing the action in the early years. "Pass to Connelly, the BLAST!! That puck went 35 rows up, he's got to reduce the curve on his stick."

    Favorite Minnesota North Stars memories

    I know a lot has written about the Boston fight, but I have vague memories of another big fight that they had with Philadelphia in their first or second year. It was on TV and I think that it lasted for over an hour. Can't remember who our enforcer was, but Elmer Vasco was one of the bigger...

    I read someplace that if the drug name does not contain an "x" or a "z" it will cut sales in half.
