Per Greder: Former Gophers defensive coordinator Joe Rossi is having a rough season with Michigan State. Coming into Saturday’s game against the Gophers, the defensive coordinator has the Spartans last in scoring in the 18-team Big Ten Conference (32.5 points per game) and 15th in total defense...

Per Souhan: 5. Gopher men’s hockey The men’s team was shut out on Friday for the first time since 2023, and the first time at home since 2020, by Minnesota-Duluth, and then allowed UMD to complete the sweep at Mariucci Arena on Saturday. The Gophers are 2-5-1. This is a program with every...

Per Souhan: 2. Minnesota Gophers Losing at Iowa is hardly a disgrace. Losing 41-3 to a program that is happy to beat you 3-0 is a disgrace. Which leads us to the biggest embarrassment of the Minnesota sports week. The champion of this dubious exercise didn’t lose by as many points as did the...

Year 1 is tough as it's hard for me to place specific win/loss standards, so here is how I view a successful season... - There is more excitement at the end of the season for the following year, than there is now. - We retain the players we see as important building blocks for next year and...

Per Chip: Freshman Drake Lindsey has been the team’s best player heading into Saturday’s trophy game at Iowa. That’s not an exaggeration. The No. 1 question mark heading into the season has not been a concern at all. The young guy was more than ready for the assignment. “Show me three Big Ten...

With two former G League players recently committing to play for Division I schools, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said he doesn't "respect" the NCAA powerbrokers who've allowed those moves to happen. "I am going to get myself in trouble, but I listen to people talk about how kids changed. Kids...

Per Mike: It may be heresy to some, but P.J. Fleck is more substance than showman. That’s written with the knowledge the Minnesota football coach is regarded here in Iowa and elsewhere — but especially here — as a snake-oil salesman. Fleck is considered too gimmicky, too talkative, too...

Per Chris: Every summer, Timberwolves assistant coach Chris Hines knows he’s going to lose weight. The intense workouts he does with Anthony Edwards that time of year are the prime reason. Hines has worked with Edwards since the Wolves guard’s second season in the NBA, and never over that time...

Per Greder: The Gophers’ head coach has come across Iowa Hawkeyes fans donning “It wasn’t a fair catch” shirts and can’t help but approach them. One such scene came on a recent trip he and wife Heather made to Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store in Jordan. “Hey, I like your shirt,” Fleck will say...
