    Since a petition to fire Claeys worked, here's a petition to fire Coyle/Kaler

    http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/terminate-the-u-of-m?source=c.em.cp&r_by=17397077%20Thanks! If a petition can fire the coach that led us to the second 9+ win season in over a century, why should we keep around the president of our University who has not seen any success and the AD that fired a...

    NY Times: How Arizona State Reinvented Free-Throw Distraction

    "A shark attack. The return of Elvis. Twerking farm animals. A shirtless guitarist. Kissing unicorns. An old lady yelling at you to get off her lawn. Distracted yet? So, too, are college basketball players, who have tried — and often failed — to overcome the creative attempts of students at...

    So the Gophers are only three games out of 2nd place in the Big Ten

    Assuming Maryland hangs on to lose. Why can't we make the tourney? I know the schedule coming up is tough but the #2 and #11 teams are separated by just 3 games. Pretty crazy.

    Who is the best player on the Gophers roster so far this season?

    Kind of hard to choose as almost everyone has had ups and downs this season. What do you think?

    Chances College Gameday goes to Madison??

    Think we've got a chance for Gameday to cover MN-WI next weekend? Would make a huge game even better! Other choices are Auburn-Bama, Florida-FSU, Georgia Tech-Georgia, ASU-AZ. Longest running rivalry in college football with the most meaning that the game has meant in decades!

    Gophers with 0.1% chance to win out, 1.9% chance to win conference (ESPN)

    According to ESPN's FPI rankings and stats, Gophers have little to no shot at staying atop the conference. Home vs. Ohio State is lowest chance of winning the rest of this year. Link: http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/fpi?id=135&year=2014

    Illinois game on ESPNU?

    http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/135/minnesota-golden-gophers On the Gophers ESPN page, it says ESPNU. Just seems kind of odd for a Big Ten conference game.

    2013 Michigan State and 2014 Gophers

    Seems like a really similar story - start off unranked, not huge expectations. One non conference loss to a good team, then get hot in Big Ten play. What do you think, can we continue the underdog story like Michigan State last year?
