    Iowa: did I get this right?

    This reminds me of the KC Chiefs offsides late in the season where Mahomes couldn't believe they would make the call and take away a great play by him, Kelcy, and the Kadarius Toney, even though it was clear that the Toney lined up offside. He didn't argue that Toney was onside but rather that...

    BIG Game 2: Gophers Visit Iowa (12-30-23)

    Assuming no major injuries, the Iowa game, in February, at home, will allow us to see if we have improved during the year. Even if we lose we will hopefully be more competitive in the next game.

    Reusse: Men's college basketball had its glory days. Now move over for the women

    The article is not really so much about women's basketball but rather lamenting that men's basketball is no longer very good with the best players going one and done.

    STrib: Gophers QB recruit Drake Lindsey fires four touchdown passes with P.J. Fleck watching him

    Here is a clip of Lindsey's Grandpa Jim when he was with the Vikings (at the 16:42 mark). The Vikings owned the Lions during the 70's and always seemed to find a way to win. If you've never seen NFL football at the old Met, you will be interested in seeing players running into retaining walls...

    Will the Gopher offense morph for Athan?

    I've been wondering for some time whether most RPO offenses don't have the QB run occasionally as part of the read option. It's always hard to tell for sure but there seems to be plenty of times when faking the handoff to Mo going left would leave the QB yards to run to the right. If nothing...

    WSJ: Girls are Leaving High School Basketball

    What I've noticed in our conference is that there are very few good "bigs" anymore. They mostly play volleyball year round.

    Is Mohamed Ibrahim the greatest RB in Gophers history?

    Here's another name that I don't think anyone brought up. Herb Joesting was a two time All American FB in 1926 - 1927. Knute Rockne had had enough. The famed Notre Dame coach had seen too much of Minnesota fullback Herb Joesting shredding his Irish defenses for two straight years. In 1927...

    Reusse: Despite Pushback Chris Voelz Made the U Better

    Everything I knew about Chris Voelz I probably got from Sid or Pat and yet I'm not sure why but this amused me. "One of the best daily fundraising methods for me at Minnesota should be attributed to you and Sid. Every time you wrote in opposition to me, or Gopher women, or women in sports, I...

    Did this warrant an ejection?? Gard sure thinks so....

    I agree 100% with this. Just the way I saw it.

    Spring Practice: Speculation, Observation, Rumination

    Rumor has it that he injured both shoulders lifting weights and may not play again. Hopefully that is wrong but maybe someone with contacts in the program could confirm or correct that?

    Thomas Kevin Barker (born March 11, 1955) is an American former professional basketball player. He played collegiately for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, College of Southern Idaho Golden Eagles and the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. Tommy Barker was listed at 7' when he was at Minnesota but I see on...
