All this talk about hiring a Black coach rminded me of the Ozzie Cowles era of Gopher basketball from 1948 to 1959. Because of a snowstorm we misssed on on Johnny Wooden and instead got Cowles. In 1951 he said, "No African American would ever step on his court of competition." And he was true to...

Who knew last spring that we would win a bowl game without our starting qb, our top 2 running backs, our pro-bound left tackle, our best defensive player (AWJr) and our 2nd best defensive player (BC) who may be drafted? Who knew that Joe Rossi was the answer to a lot of defensive questions? Who...

Another agonizing year of hearing Dave Lee attempt to be a TV play-by-play announcer for the state high school basketball toruney. He thinks he's doing a radio broadcast so he tells us what we are seeing. How many times has he said "nice shot" when the shot doesn't go in? Kevin Lynch talks too...

Quoted in the Omaha World Herald he said, ""I can see a change now," Frost said. "Everybody is in the boat. Everybody is working."

Who did PJ give a scholarship to in the locker room after the game?????

For those who are watching the Netflix series Last Chance U about the Independence (KN) Juco team, I just noticed that ex-Gopher Ray Buford is on that team. To date I have not seen him play. He is #2 and is a RSSO.

Since there is already a shortage of numbers available on a typical BIG team (two players wearing the same number), it doesn't make sense to have so many numbers retired. There should be a better way to honor out former greats like Nagurski, Bell and Giel. Another reason why I want to put an end...

Dallas OT Jack York has committed to the Gophers http://247sports.com/player/jack-york-94263

Not sure if this has been posted yet but Paul Allen's show featured the top 10 all-time football greats for the Gophers. I about died when he was asked if he knew who Paul Giel was. NO, Allen said. WOW!!! The most amazing thing of all is they had Adam Weber No. 8 on the all-time list. No Rickie...

Not sure if you watched the high school girls tourney and had to suffer through the AWFUL Dave Lee play-by-play. Examples: Someone shoots a 3 and he informs us, "She can make that shot." Really? Dave, I have made a 3. He calls a game as if it's on the radio so he tells us if a basket is good or...

What a joy is has been to listen to ESPN do the Gopher game with Sean Harrington as the color man. Analysts like Shon Morris and Stephen Bardo feel it is necessary to provide a Ted Talk after each made basket. Harrington, on the other hand, does a seamless job and provides just the right amount...

Have you seen the Isaiah Washington videos? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYhfXasfCgg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2m5XXhOBEA

Is anyone else disgusted with the constant chatter of the color men during BIG basketball telecasts? Guys like Bardo and Morris feel a need to fill every moment when the play-by-play guy isn't talking w/ nothing but blather. If they say something highly technical, those who would understand it...

They featured the Gophers on Paul Allen's show this a.m. Mike Grimm started if off by saying Steve Ekpe and then saying one of the starting safeties is someone named Calhoun. Then Allen showed his ignorance by announcing that one of the star safeties is someone named Thompson. Granted he did...

Halsey Hall This article was written by Stew Thornley. One of the most beloved sports and media personalities Minnesota has ever known, Halsey Hall did a great deal of play-by-play announcing. In 1934 he hooked on with a pair of championship teams. One was Bernie Bierman's Minnesota Gopher...

I think he is going to be a real force for us. http://www.mndaily.com/sports/football/2014/03/11/campbell-could-emerge-playmaker

Jerry Kill has mentioned several times that the botched fake punt failed because "we didn't sustain a block." Aaron Hill, the guy who picked up the lateral at the end of the game, is the guy who failed on the block of Indiana's safety Greg Heban. In fact Hill nonchalantly hardly touched Heban...
