    Men's team

    Would you like to see a varsity men's team, one day? - men's college volleyball plays in the spring, so no overlap with the women's team. Some overlap with basketball seasons probably. - not a ton of programs in DI - in fact, I believe the NCAA only has championships in men's for DIII on its...

    Interesting comparison to another program

    Syracuse with Dino Babers. - it’s a school that has had some history in football but largely wouldn’t be considered a football school now - head coach came up and had success in the MAC - had a really nice season in year 3 (2018 season), going 10-3 and winning bowl game, finished top 15 - but...

    Going undefeated at a program like Minnesota

    Guys, we need a little bit of a reality check. Everything has been said already, and it's all good points about the game and what happened. Not here to refute any of them. You're welcome to those points and a lot of them are right on the money. Fine. But ... the only way a program like...

    If the Gophers can't win the West this year ...

    People are already saying it in other threads "the stars have aligned, this is the year". So might as well have its own thread to address this. Well ... it is! This is the year. Other teams are meh or downright down, while we're on the rise. Just getting to Indy is something. Then we'll see...

    Iowa State leaving AAU

    [MODS: please move this thread if you feel it appropriate to do so. I am initially putting it in football for the following reasons: 1) membership in the AAU has long been cited by many people in conference realignment discussions as a "baseline" for consideration in joining the Big Ten, and 2)...

    Ads ruining Gopherhole

    Very recently (last few days??) it feels like the experience on GH with ads has gone from "acceptable" to "almost absurd". There is now a banner constantly present (floating) at the bottom of the screen, stealing away 15-20% of the viewable window. And there are, sometimes quite large, ads...

    Ads freezing computer on linux/firefox

    Ubuntu 20.04 and Firefox 99.0 (64 bit). It has always been true that the ads (not always, but usually) on GH cause my CPU fan to rev up. But it never affected performance. Lately though, I've had multiple instances where the ads literally cause the whole system freeze up. Even with just one...

    Future (financially) of MLB?

    Ran across an article in NYT today, which was arguing for a much larger thing than I want to bring up in this thread. It was a political thing, and I strongly want to keep all politics out of this thread. I just want to focus on the financial arguments the author brings up about the MLB: Like...
