***OFFICIAL NATIONALLY RANKED IOWA AT MINNESOTA RIVALRY GAME IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[The Deliberate Stranger]

Niko clinches the national former Drake coach title

 

[Gopherbbdude]

All's well that ends well. Time for a celebratory blood pressure pill.

Or a 3 finger bourbon

 

[upnorthkid]

You just love to see the joy on Nikos face. You can tell he really cherishes this

 

[MaxyJR1]

Survive and advance!

 

[Gophers7633]

Moving screen not called on Iowa

Only on like every possession down the stretch.

 

[Border Gopher]

Gophs have em a basketball coach

@USAF

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

[drewhaus7]

@USAF

Hey, the needle moved to 10% last game. Give him some runway!

 

[WindyCityGopher]

I realize we’re a long way from a finished product, but this start to the conference season makes me think of the years this program pissed away because we didn’t have a qualified coach.

 

[drewhaus7]

Didn’t that last rebounder travel?

Traveling???.......WHAT IS TRAVELING?

 

[leib0039]

Real shame they had to cut to the next game right away. Would've like to hear a Niko and player interview in the court

 

[Bad Gopher]

The Johnson years were way less tense and stressful.

 

[Holy Man]

Holy hell

Not. I’m sure.

 

[Markous15]

Niko can't lose in the barn, confirmed!

 

[JZABR]

Or a 3 finger bourbon

WHY NOT BOTH.

 

[Gophers7633]

The Johnson years were way less tense and stressful.

Was just thinking that. I feel alive!!

 

[FanSinceTheFifties]

Gophers by six! Do the Vikings own the Stat Tribune? No mention of Iowa game but 90% Viking post season stuff!!!

And most GHers don't see that as hurting recruiting.

 

[howeda7]

Ranked teams best stay out of the Barn....

 

[GoldenMAV30266]

I realize we’re a long way from a finished product, but this start to the conference season makes me think of the years this program pissed away because we didn’t have a qualified coach.

Imagine if Niko had Elijah Hawkins, Cam Christie, Dawson Garcia, Pharrel Payne, and Mike Mitchell.

Watching this team of rag tag players beat ranked teams and thinking about that Ben Johnson team makes me realize just how bad of a coach he really was

 

[howeda7]

And most GHers don't see that as hurting recruiting.

To be fair, the top item on the Sports section right now is about Gopher football transfers.

 

[JZABR]

I know it's obviously early, but when was the last time we were in 5th place?!?

 

[Ewert86PC]

So this is how it goes in the Haus of Ewert...

Scene: Gophers/Hawkeye game in the MetroDump.

Father-in-law (a Hawkeye booster, seeing football cheerleaders with M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A letters): You need cards to help spell Minnesota?

Me (pointing out Iowa cheerleaders with I-O-W-A letters): Yeah, you do too, and Minnesota is nine letters, not four.

 

[Xerxes_]

Refs tried their hardest for Iowa, but they couldn't overcome The Niko.

Iowa shot 13 FT. Minnesota shot 28 FT

Kfan had it

 

[PMWinSTP]

Or a 3 finger bourbon

Could also be some nicely aged scotch as well!

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

Thank god we didn't lose to that nerdy ass looking Iowa team
