    Who is the Gopher MVP this year?

    Just wondering which of the 6 or 7 players is the most valuable. Medved is not a choice, but is the main reason we don’t have any bad losses.

    Where can you buy the “Play Hard” practice shorts?

    Just curious, they used to sell them at Gold Country when Clem was coach. Niko may make them fashionable again!

    Reynolds is the man!

    I hate to say this but Willis’ injury which thrust Reynolds into permanent starting may be the best thing that has happened to the team so far! Guy has been a stud and we finally have a guard who can put up with Thornton from OSU! It’s been a long time since we have had a physically imposing...

    How did Indiana go from zero to hero?

    Before Cignetti, they had 2 winning seasons since the 2000 season! Now they have two seasons of 11-2 and 13-0! Number 1 ranking and the top dog in the playoff! This is like NCAA video game stuff! Did Mark Cuban and Little Pink Houses give the football team all of their money? Why can’t...

    Thoughts about last nights game

    Ok, so we got run in the second half, there is still some good things going in Dinkytown! Why we lost. 1. The Mizzou players looked to have a sizable weight advantage on the Gophers and were playing very physical. You could almost see the Gophers wearing down as the game progressed. There was...

    Greatest individual sports achievement in Gopher history.

    There is an article comparing Ohtani’s game 4 NLDS performance vs other individual accomplishments, which made me think, “What is the greatest single accomplishment in a single day by a Gopher? A few nominations: Kent Kitzmann, 1977, 56 carries for 266 yds in a 21-0 victory over Purdue. Chris...

    Secret to beating Iowa - Don’t kick to Wetjen?

    This guy is scary good and can turn a game on its head all by himself. He pretty much won the Rutgers game and had a long punt return against PSU to help out the offense. Iowa State and Indiana limited him and won! Their offense isn’t great and they need field position to win. Just kick it in...

    Gophers make 2026 B1G tourney!!!

    Relax, the B1G is including all men’s teams for a six day tourney. So, Terrible Tuesday is the worst you can do. I haven’t seen the bracket yet.

    Drake vs JJ after 2 games

    Gotta go with Drake so far in this new starting QB contest! But in all fairness, Drake may have the better O-line!

    Game 3 Uniforms

    How far will the mono color theme go into the season? I’m predicting All White for California! The unreadable poll question is: “The mono color trend will end in this game”

    Who scores first Gopher touchdown of the season?

    Lots of excitement! Chili getting hot! Who’s your favorite to score first for our Gophers?

    Who’s B1G coaching seat is the hottest?

    Most of you will be ecstatic with my top choice! Luke Fickel - He hasn’t done much and missed a bowl game for the first time in over twenty years. Add in the schedule and he may not make it to the Axe game. They will be favored in 3 of their first 4 games and then, well rock meet hard place...

    Maybe a competent coach makes the portal easier, just saying.

    Looks like this is a real turn around from past years. But maybe that NIL slice makes it easier. Both, are probably true!

    How many of you think it’s not the coach it’s the conference?

    Gopher hockey used to be in a conference where it was tough to win or be in the top 2. Now in the B1G it is like a birthright! Maybe, they are soft because of not playing UND, UMD, and Denver they play against the B1G gauntlet with not nearly the home ice advantage of the three teams I just...

    Day 3 of Niko, still no CSU portal action

    Is this cause for concern? Beats me. Maybe Niko isn’t the type to fleece his old home. Still, I know a lot of you were hoping for some CSU transfers. Maybe they are happy with Ali.

    Niko’s roster construction

    This is as close to a blank slate as you can possibly get! So it is pretty much going to be a roster he owns from the start. But that is the new landscape of NCAA Basketball. The cupboard: Isaac Asuma - if you’re only going to get one returnee you could do a lot worse. CONFIRMED RETURN...

    Will Wade to NC State

    Another one bites the dust. Per ESPN, upon the end of his current teams run, he will take over where Jim Valvano used to coach!

    What is easier? Getting to a bowl game, or making the NCAAs?

    All this coach evaluation talk made me ask myself this question. It seems on the surface that making a bowl game is pretty easy since it takes only 6 wins to qualify. That with a schedule including 3 relative cupcake games (usually at home) against near non-competitive teams. Which means you...

    Attention Mr. Coyle! Men’s Basketball is Supposed to Produce Revenue!!!

    How the hell can we field a pickleball team without extra revenue? What about our Quiditch team? How can we be the most DEI positive B1G sports presence without revenue? (Hey, this might work. I’ve given up on common sense. And you know, scoreboard, which doesn’t lie.)

    Hire Ben Johnson?

    God knows there are plenty of reasons for moving on, but… The Gophers are playing really good basketball right now. It actually looks like maybe he can coach! His halftime adjustments have been on que lately.
