This could be a fun event. Oturu, Jarvis, Gabe, tre Jones, along with some potential gopher prospects.

I'm a SSC basketball guy. After last night's games I was talking with another coach about how strong the SSC is this year, and how bad the Gophers are this year. I raise the question, "Would the top players from the SSC be able to beat the Gophers this year?" We go down the list: PG - Tre...

Badger basketball from a few years back (mostly Dick Bennett ball). Well coached, play great defense, limit possessions, control the complexion of the game, and win ball-games. We might not have the personel other teams have, but we are still finding a way to win. Nothing too fancy, but what...

Sweet!

A bit off topic, but I was just looking at the 2011 football poster that I picked up at the state fair and I noticed the mantra: Saturday's Coming. Does anyone know if this is a reference to the Game of Thrones tagline "Winter is Coming"? Because if it was, that would be Bad Ass! No big...

For those who care about Wally's other endeavor, he opened the season today at the Hamline Invite jumping 2.17m or 7'1.5"!! I knew that he was going to jump today, but I would have never thought he would have opened the season with an all time best jump. I know that one of the reason's that...

The first thing on the ESPN website you will see is the Gopher's celebration after knocking off Indiana. It's the lead in for the beginning of March Madness. Any press is good press!! www.espn.go.com

Opened up in the 60m tonight in the prelims of the track team's tune up for next weeks big ten conference meet. He is currently ranked tied for 12th in the big ten and will likely need to run around 6.80 to make the final. No breaking news since we all knew how fast he is...hopefully he can...

It seems like any of 5 guys could be our leading scorer in any given game. So who will the leading scorer be come March?

I'm very excited for this season to actually get underway. Beating up on some bad teams is a nice, easy way to start the campaign, but seeing some real competition is going to be fun. I went to the game last night, and this is what I took from it. The Good - Our athleticism and defense last...

Can you say BEAST!! He is a ridiculous athlete in a huge frame. I can't remember having a DT like him in the last 20 years. We've had some good ones. Anthony Montgomery, John Schlecht, ?? We've had some DE's but not many DT. He is so dominant, especially on the bull rush, and opens up...

Obviously, Kill's offer list would have looked different than Brewster's in 2010. Unfortunately for the Gophers, we missed out on a stud right in our backyard because Brewster had tunnel vision to Florida/Texas. Zach Zenner from Eagan has been going absolutely nuts for South Dakota State...

I don't know about anyone else, but I absolutely hate when post players "back down" their opponent. Essentially they get the ball somewhere near the block and literally push their way backwards into the defender to get better position. The master of this was Shaquille O'Neal. His offensive...

A lot has been made of the newcomers being some of the fastest on the team. Being a numbers geek and current strength and conditioning coach at a local high school, it would be interesting to see some of the actual results from the testing. Did they post some numbers last year after testing...

Are we the cupcakes of the B1G? In years past we look at the schedule and point out potential if not probable wins. It has recently been Iowa, Indiana, Penn St. and now Nebraska. While that list has changed of late with the emergence of Indiana and the obvious improvement of Iowa, we could...

the presence of an actual pass rush!! Last year, and even at the beginning of this year, the pass rush was totally non-existent. And even if we aren't recording sacks (which we have had more of recently) there has been more noticeable pressure on the QB. The opposing QB has not had the luxury...

Maybe I missed something, but I haven't heard much on if/when Nolen might return? Any news?

First let me admit I'm an eternal optimist. I've been there through the toughest losses in the past and will be there for the tough ones in the future (every team has them, although we should think about sharing). Here's my question...What will it take throughout the rest of the season for...

I've been waiting for the 10-day forecast to encompass September 2nd. dance4raiders is right!! It is going to be hotter than 86 degrees, just like she guaranteed. Weather.com says it will be 89 on the 2nd. How did she know? Luckily for her, weather.com guarantees that the weather will be...

If the Big 10 were to split simply by ranking the Football markets, how would it look? First they'd need to rank them 1-12 by marketability. Here are my rankings: 1. OSU 2. PSU 3. Mich 4 Neb 5. Wisc 6. Iowa 7. Ill 8. Pur 9. Minn 10. MSU 11. NW 12. Ind Odd/Even rankings split would...
