Some details from Mara on the summer workouts, style of play, transition to new coach and her time on US basketball this summer. She comments about the coaches pouring everything they have into having the team prepared. She seems to be a fan of the staff and ready to be coached up. I thought...

So, before the Big Ten changed the football schedule in January, this was the Saturday when the Gophers were supposed to open Big Ten play at home against the Iowa Hawkeyes. I kind of wish that would have remained. One, it would be nice to open Big Ten competition at home. Two, I'd rather...

That's awesome! Joins Antoine and Tyler!!

Official now, Big Ten Tourney moving from Chicago to Indy for this year. Leading into NCAA Tourney in Indy.

So, not to put the cart before the horse, but Nebraska basketball program is on pause. We play them next week. The Husker program went on pause yesterday, so let's assume multiple players are positive and have to sit out the 17 days...that puts the return time past the time we would play them...

No one knows for sure how the Big Ten schedule will ever play out, and it really doesn't matter, maybe one spot on the seed line for Big Ten Tourney, but the Gophers didn't get a big break on the schedule. Top five teams right now: MSU, MICH, PUR, WIS, MD Bottom four teams right now: NW, NEB...

Ok, quick question....and if someone has some advice, please let me know. Administrators, if you have guidance, please let me know. Over the past month or so, when I log onto Gopherhole, the amount of popup ads, videos, etc. has been crazy annoying and gets to the point where it takes minutes...

Depending on how many baseball fans take advantage of this offer (I'd guess not that many), it could clog up travel on the light rail from downtown to TCF Bank Stadium. http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/blog/sports-business/2015/08/twins-saints-crosstown-doubleheader-game-discount.html

Although I wasn't one opposed to the Big Ten Tourney hitting a few outliers on occasion, this should calm a few of the folks on the other end down. BTT Tourney four-year agreement to rotate Chicago (2019/2021) and Indy (2020/2022). So, it looks like this: 2015: Chicago 2016: Indy 2017...

I think I have this right....please correct me if, I'm wrong. But, this is how I have it figured. Correct?? IF MINNESOTA WINS: 7 - MN (8-10) 8-IN/ILL (7-11) 9-IN/ILL (7-11) 10-PSU (6-12) (6-12 PSU holds tiebreaker over 6-12 PU by virtue of 2-0 vs. OSU) (6-12 PSU holds tiebreaker over 6-12...

Dr. Kaler and other U reps were at the state capitol yesterday, lobbying for funds for infrastructure. Educational and research infrastructure. And, without athletics being brought up, this is what Rochester Democrat Kim Norton stated: "Our sports facilities often times are state of the art...

I have always thought Rothstein knows his stuff and have respected his work over the years. I hope he's wrong with his Big Ten projections. Some other interesting nuggets in the linked article. His Big Ten Power Rankings are copied below: BIG TEN PRESEASON POWER RANKINGS 1. MICHIGAN STATE...

I know ahead of time this is an apples and oranges comparison, but just some perspective on those concerned with Richard Pitino's age. Here are the really, really successful college basketball coaches in history (along with Big Ten contemporaries) and what their ages were when they got their...

Am I right in thinking that if we lose to Purdue tomorrow, we lock ourselves into the #8/#9 game at the BTT (no matter what happens with the other teams around us)??

...that we are a 5.5pt FAVORITE tonight vs. Wisconsin?? I figured we'd be a 1 or 2 point dog, certainly not a 5.5 point favorite. What does Vegas know? Well, probably nothing, as they had us a 10pt favorite over Iowa and a 9.5pt favorite over Illinois.

Al Nolen was injured against Michigan on January 22nd, 2011. We beat Michigan and were ranked #16 in the country. Michigan fell to 1-6 in the Big Ten. Since then, both Minnesota and Michigan have played 44 Big Ten games (reg season and BTT). Minnesota is 14-30 (.318%). Michigan is 31-13...

...we could win the Jug. Robinson was reported to have suffered nerve damage in his throwing elbow. Don't know what that means for next week. But, IF he is out, I like our chances. The Bellomy kid who played in Robinson's place tonight was 3-for-17 passing with 3 interceptions. He...

Sorry if already posted, but they just previewed on ESPN Gameday (9:45am) that they will have an interview with Jerry Kill. Just a heads up. Sounds like it is coming up soon.

Here's a story about it. Odd to say the least.
