    You aren't going to recognize Bielema this year.

    Love him or hate him, I'm very glad for him. What he's done is possible, but it ain't easy.

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    The name of the priest who baptized me was Roman Paur. I kid you not, his name was Roman Paur.

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    This is usually the point in the dream when I wake up.

    Ski-U-Max! Gopher Men's Basketball Adds Guard Duo to the Program - Maximus Gizzi (New Palestine, Ind.) and Max Lorenson (Eden Prairie, Minn.)

    Many years ago, when there were still twelve rounds in the NFL draft, I heard some commentator say that, in the last round, with your final pick, select someone big and unusual. What that really means, in essence, is to take someone with peculiar potential to round out your roster. Someone not...

    Paul Finebaum: What's a loss from your favorite sports team you still can't get over?

    I will never get over Kentucky in the national semifinal as long as I live. That's why I can't watch the Clemson game: Harris' injury ended our title contention.

    Ski-U-Max! Gopher Men's Basketball Adds Guard Duo to the Program - Maximus Gizzi (New Palestine, Ind.) and Max Lorenson (Eden Prairie, Minn.)

    I think we all were. It's possible Niko and his staff see real potential in these guys and thought this was the right move long term. Medved has enough of a track record of finding and developing talent that it's reasonable to trust him.

    Ski-U-Max! Gopher Men's Basketball Adds Guard Duo to the Program - Maximus Gizzi (New Palestine, Ind.) and Max Lorenson (Eden Prairie, Minn.)

    It's important to remember that you start 5; trust 7; play 9. These are guys 14 and 15 on the roster. Had they reeled in a couple bigger fish at some point, two of the others on the roster would have fallen to 14 and 15 on the depth chart and might never see the floor--guys who likely came in...

    Ski-U-Max! Gopher Men's Basketball Adds Guard Duo to the Program - Maximus Gizzi (New Palestine, Ind.) and Max Lorenson (Eden Prairie, Minn.)

    Not sure about Maximus, but as for Max, any two-sport athlete who averages 26 points in his senior season in the top MN class of high school competition can help you in some way. We'll find out if he can defend and create his own shot, but the guy can put the ball in the basket from multiple...

    Buffalo should be higher. Any city that's got a big, fat goose egg should be top three.

    CBS Sports Grading rosters of first-year coaches article.

    It reminds me of how superficially the Strib and local media covered high school gymnastics when my daughter was competing. Any of us parents could have previewed the upcoming season for our class and conference better than that reporter did.

    CBS Sports Grading rosters of first-year coaches article.

    I'd say a solid B or a B-minus. Evans would have jolted this to a B-plus. But the article's C-plus is fair.

    Inside the Hall: 2025-26 Big Ten offseason at a glance: Minnesota Golden Gophers

    "Bottom tier roster" doesn't jibe with some of the analytics evaluations we've seen. Will be interesting to see if indeed these guys can play, which is always going to be a question for players who are transferring up.

    Wow, Fran. This was really something.
