    2024-25 Gopher Hockey Season

    To your number 4, Im quite alright with that. A hockey team doesn't need to throw their weight around to be successful, but you can't be successful if you have trouble handling other teams throwing theirs around.

    Busting Brackets: Big Ten Basketball: Preseason power rankings for 2024-25 season (16. Minnesota)

    It's fun to see that Wisconsin lost to Northern Iowa, but i don't put much stock in secret scrimmage results. I don't know to what extent starters played or the coaches used the scrimmage to test out different combinations or plays.

    You want a "magic number" for Gophers to hear name called on Selection Sunday? Go with 22

    I'm having a lot of trouble with how I'm going to evaluate the team this year. It feels like just making the tournament would be a big step forward for the coach. But, if we make the tournament and don't get past the first weekend, it still feels like it would be a very inadequate four years...

    But it would have had an amazing spiral! That's how you identify good quarterbacks, right?

    2024-2025 Gopher Soccer

    This was a really fun regular season. Wish my schedule allowed me to try to go to the home playoff games. Anyone with more knowledge than I have know what we need to make the big tournament? I'm not saying I think we will win the conference tournament, but we've got enough quality wins to...

    Does he move well for someone who doesn't move well? Or does he move poorly for someone who moves well?

    My Big Ten Power Rankings after Week 8

    That is the same problem I've had with the national championship. It seems patently unjust that any sports team be in a situation where they could never lose and not be champions at the end. I'm not aware of any championship anywhere in the sports world other than FBS football where that is the...

    Yes, but it would mostly be a different group of people.

    Put on your maroon and gold glasses! Ours was awesome: there's was unimpressive.

    I think we are one undefeated OSU or Michigan team being excluded from a conference championship game away from having a new tie breaking protocol. Heck, maybe they will change the rules after the games were played but before the championship game like they did in 2020. (I know 2020 was a weird...

    Gophers Women's Hockey 2024-25 Season

    Rough start to the conference season. Frustrating to be two weekends in and already feeling like we are out of the race for a conference title. I know its a long season and that feels premature, but we've already lost twice as many games as OSU did in conference play all season, so even if we...

    Week 8 Other Games Thread

    I can't recall ever seeing a situation where officials called a penalty, announced it, played the ball, and then (absent an official review) change their minds about the penalty altogether (as opposed to realizing a coach wanted to decline it or that they initially marked it off from the wrong...

    Week 8 Other Games Thread

    It's amazing how fast things change. We came into the season thinking we had a brutal schedule. As it currently sits, PSU looks great, Illinois looks very solid, but (unless I missed one skimming the rankings) none of our other 10 opponents are even receiving votes.

    Week 8 Other Games Thread

    I like when we see the established order upset. Helps give us perspective on what is possible for non-blue bloods.

    The Gophers likely lose the USC and UCLA games without Koi Perich's big plays. They'd have a 2-5 record right now.

    I still think our chances were less than 50%. Three realistic scenarios after the recovery that wasn't: (1) we score a TD and win in regulation; (2) we kick a field goal and go to overtime; and (3) we don't score and lose in regulation. In my opinion, with the field position and time left, we...
