Guesses as to other Gopher players who may hit the portal soon? The one I am worried about is Darius Taylor - while he certainly will not lack not for playing time going forward once healthy - he may think that some of the "blue bloods" that recruited him late (Michigan, Notre Dame), could be...

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/16/us/mark-schlissel-fired.html While slightly OT - if all Jim Harbaugh is looking for is a nice extension (instead of an NFL move), timing might be good to ask now. The last thing Michigan needs at this moment (after this administrative mess) is to lose its...

Just listed on Gophersports.com - Maryland game start time will be 2:30p - it's about time!

Not as dramatic as the Celine Dion song, nor as traditional as Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" song - this video is inspired by the Phoebe Snow song "All Over" from the mid 70's. To me, it best captures the euphoria I felt during and after the game. (And despite being in my 60's, I was...

Buyer Beware! While looking for a PSU ticket via Craigslist (still looking for a single), came across 5 different scammers (so far) It’s what happens when the team gets popular and starts selling out games!

I know it has been discussed earlier this year, and at the risk of “jinxing” things, looking ahead to a potential ESPN game day for the PSU game. Nittany Lions would have to win their next two games (no gimmes- Mich and at MSU). Other options would be Iowa @ WI or LSU v Ala. Not sure if they...

Perhaps I am exaggerating a bit, but it seems to me that the loss by Wisconsin to ASU (admittedly via a horrible call) continues to haunt the entire Big 10 rankings-wise. The logic goes that as the national media saw the "fourth best" team in the PAC12 beat the "second best" team in the Big...

Since the topic would come up eventually, thought I would look it up now (made easy by Eric Thrall's excellent Gopher history page - http://ericthrall.com/gophers/ ) Last time the Gophers had 5 consecutive conference wins (in the same season) - 1962 The Gophers have achieved 6 consecutive...

I realize it is sacrilege and everything else, but my wife is running the Madison Marathon this Sunday so we are Badgertown for the weekend. Any spot at all that might be a safe haven for a Gopher jersey on gameday? (Besides my hotel room.) FYI - Wisconsin plays at home against BYU...

Off the top of my head could think of at least five father/son D1 basketball coaches Rick/Richard Pitino - TBD John/John III Thompson - good to see that JT III seems to have come out from under the shadow of his dad Ray/Joey Meyer - Joey was never able to shake his dad's legacy (hard to do when...

It appears that an overwhelming response to single game football tickets has shut down the Gopher online ticket sales. I tried precisely when they opened at 5 PM and got nowhere. Finally Gophersports pulled the plug and have some obnoxious message on how the site will be back up on February 9...

According to todays StarTrib, Gopher football team had 22 players earn Academic All-Big Ten Honors. This tied them for third place in the Big Ten with Wisky, only OSU (31 players) and Northwestern (27) had more Hearty congrats to the following recipients: D.J. Burris, Sr., Business &...

Does the LSU loss mean that Iowa gets the BCS berth regardless of the Ok St - OU matchup next week (thus Gophers get the Insight)?

Although I guess it was a reasonable assumption, I had not yet seen it in print that the University is acknowledging that the Vikings will "likely play" at TCF Bank stadium during construction of a new stadium (if it occurs)...

Now I know that KFAN is not always the most Gopher-friendly place to be and that many Gopher fans ignore it altogether. While it is not always easy to listen to their criticism, I usually sort of take it with a grain of salt. (And frankly when it comes to Gopher football, there is plenty to be...

The ESPN announcers over the weekend made a subtle statement that seemed to say that our opponents have been complaining that Decker is getting away with push offs. This is the first I have heard this - but it is also the first time I have had to watch a game on TV. Has this been brought up...

http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/61377367.html?elr=KArksi8cyaiUjc8LDyiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUr Extensive article today in the StarTrib on the status of Brewster. StarTribune is certainly within their rights to ask some tough questions, but the article looks to me like a lot...

Not to panic yet, but a reminder FWIW - As part of the deal that Comcast and the Big Ten Network struck last year, Comcast does have the option of moving BTN to digital tier status only after one year (the year is up) If and when this occurs it will mean viewers will need a cable box plus...

I'm not saying that this person is going to find a buyer, but someone on eBay is asking $2000-2400 for a pair of Gopher Football season tickets!! Not very good seats either, section 101, 7th row. I could get a pair of OSU season tickets at that price, and they are playing USC at home this...
