    John Beilein - Has tons of energy and interest in getting back into college hoops

    Multiple walks......is it because he has so much energy, or is it because he's so old he forgot that he already walked them at 4:00am? I jest, I jest.

    uw @ Minnesota - 2/5-2/6

    I thought at the time the Gophers and Badgers would steamroll Berenson's Wolverines year in, year out. They weren't very good then, if I recall correctly, even though guys like Werenski and Larkin played there. The Badgers were always solid if not a real threat. Glad to see Michigan also on the...

    uw @ Minnesota - 2/5-2/6

    Gophers should be fine unless Beydoun stands on his head again. I might dry heave a bit saying this, but it's kind of nice having the Badgers be decent again. I really thought after the move to the Big Ten it'd be the Gophers and Badgers running roughshod every year. Hopefully, though, this is...

    General Booty commits to Tyler Junior College

    Not as bad as the poor soul I saw in Afghanistan. Sounds made up but I swear to God I saw a Captain Rape at the chow hall. I almost dropped my tray when I realized what his name would be after his very next promotion to Major.

    Best of the BIG

    Gophers aren't the best team, but I guarantee that Iowa, Michigan, and Illinois are as upset as I am that we don't get Wisconsin in The Barn this year.

    Minnesota Hosts Notre Dame: 1-15-21 & 1-16-21

    The crisp, accurate passing from the beginning of the year is missing now. Lots of pucks hopping over sticks lately. Bad passes and turnovers. Notre Dame deserves some credit for sure. That's a speedy team and the Slaggert Bros and Hellickson are nice players. Gophers gotta be better, though.

    Gophers in the NHL - 20-21

    Awesome rundown. Thanks. I always forget about Lindgren because of his limited time here on a subpar team.

    Arizona State @ Minnesota: 1-3-21 & 1-4-21

    It's possible, though honestly it's on automatic payment and I haven't checked for a price change in a while. It was $45 for the base plan and $55 for the next higher package with FSN and BTN when I signed up. I'll look to see what I pay currently some time.

    Arizona State @ Minnesota: 1-3-21 & 1-4-21

    Yes. During the football season this year it even had approximately 4 BTN channels to cover games going on at the same time. It's back to just one now. I don't know if that was just a 2020 thing because so many people were home to watch or if they'll do that next year too. It wouldn't let me...

    Arizona State @ Minnesota: 1-3-21 & 1-4-21

    Correct. It was called DirecTV Now when I signed up for it a couple of years back. I've never referred to it since they changed their name. Sorry for any confusion.

    ESPN: Biggest surprises and disappointments of the 2020-21 college basketball season (Surprises: The state of Minnesota takes over college basketball)

    Why do people not from MN assume Minnesotans are obsessed with Prince? I've lived here my whole life and know exactly 1 person that thinks he's great. Everybody else is in the "meh" to completely indifferent camp. This, and the use of the term "Minny" drives me crazy. Had to vent it out.

    Best College Shooter

    Blake Hoffarber was as good as any I've seen besides Steph Curry or Jimmer Fredette. Who was the kid from Wofford a few years back that was nearly automatic?

    Arizona State @ Minnesota: 1-3-21 & 1-4-21

    I pay $55/month +/- for DirecTV Now and FSN North is on it. It's a streaming service, so just get the app on your Roku and you're golden.

    Was letting the clock run out at the end of regulation and going into OT the right call?

    Having seen a few Gophers games in my life, I feel like if we push the envelope in that particular situation, Wisconsin wins the game in regulation. I was ok with the call to run out the clock with the maladies occuring in that drive.

    Ohio State will advance to championship game

    I feel bad for Indiana. The brass moved the goalposts on them, and even though they lost the head 2 head against OSU I feel like they're deserving of a shot at the title. The Gopher fan in me is glad though because the Hoosiers ending their Big Ten title drought before the Gophers would be hard...

    Gophers @ Michigan: 12/8/20 & 12/9/20

    The D Corps probably is the biggest factor in the teams' improvement, but I'm also seeing a level of tenacity from every player that I can't ever remember seeing in a Gophers team. I don't think that should be underestimated. I didn't watch many games last season, so I'm not sure when they...

    Gophers @ Michigan: 12/8/20 & 12/9/20

    I know that you know this, but I'll mention it for others that don't watch the games. There's more to it than addition by subtraction. Reedy is on a whole different level so far this year. Meyers, Nelson, Ranta, and LaCombe have made big strides IMO. The teams' intensity is noticably higher and...
