Gophers 2025-26 non-con schedule news



Pretty underwhelming, give Niko one year, next year needs to have a little more meat on the bone.

Have fun selling a home schedule with the following conferences:

SWAC x 2
Northeast x 2
Big South
Southern
Horizon

Not even a mid-major. But it might be fun to laugh at Doug Gottlieb at his B-job.
 






Man that’s brutal. I’m disappointed in Niko. I don’t care that it’s his first year. Thank goodness that @Mizz game fell through last year.

Ben’s home schedule was a gauntlet last year compared to this trash.
 


At least I won't feel as bummed when can't get the games on television I guess.
 



What if we lose one or more of these? Plus, it seems so disrespectful to season ticket holders...at least play one decent familiar team at home beyond the exhibition games.

It’s garbage and it’s disrespectful to the season ticket holders. I thought we had turned the page…
I also think it’s too easy of a schedule, but Niko has to get his offense and defense implemented, tested and corrected before B1G play.

I don’t think season ticket holders should feel disrespected because they get to see the very beginning of Niko Nedved era and how he builds the program into a national success.

Well you posted this at 1:50 AM so I will let it slide. It's when BTC does his best work.

Adding one decent home non conference game was low hanging fruit. I'm very happy with the hire and hopeful about the direction of the program. However, adding a decent game (we aren't asking for a FF team!) would have been a a nice gesture for the most true blue fans and was relatively easy to do. The fans shouldn't give him a pass on this one.
