2011-12 Non-Conference Schedule Overview
Posted on 09. Oct, 2011 by zipsofakron.
Let’s play a little Password: Twins … Vikings … Timberwolves … Wild … Gopher football. What’s the answer? Well, there are plenty of adjectives that could link each of those five teams together — underachieving, embarrassing, pathetic, vomit-inducing. You get the idea. However, one significant omission from that list was none other than the Gopher [...]

While the blogtacular summer vacation isn’t quite over (unlike some schools poor kids, I am waiting until after Labor Day “get to work”) the Gopher basketball schedule has been released and it can’t go without comment. Things kick off as they always seem to, with a barrage of mid to low majors parading through The [...]

Posted on 07. Aug, 2010 by zipsofakron.
The University finally announced its 2010-2011 non-conference schedule, showing a movement towards bringing higher-quality opponents to the Barn, something it has been averse to in past years. Now, it’s not like the team has scheduled games with anybody like Kansas or Connecticut, but the overall quality (read: RPI) of teams has definitely improved from last [...]

Posted on 23. Jul, 2009 by JF.
Today the Big Ten announced the “one game” match-ups for the 2009-2010 basketball season.

Posted on 15. Jul, 2009 by JF.
The exact game time is still up in the air, but the ACC-Big Ten Challenge TV schedule is out. You should be able to watch too. The barriers to seeing the Gophers have continued to fall this offseason. At about this time last year we learned that the Big Ten Network would be available by [...]

Gophers to play Butler in first round of 76 classic
Posted on 09. Jul, 2009 by JF.
Instead of facing former coach Dan Monson in the first round of the 76 classic, the Gophers get their toughest non-conference opponent of the season, so far at least. The Butler Bulldogs, one of the top mid-major programs in the country, finished last season with a 26-6 record including a win over Xavier and a [...]

Morgan State added to schedule
Posted on 24. Jun, 2009 by JF.
No big names yet, but slowly but surely the 2009-2010 schedule is filling in for the Gophers. The latest “confirmed” opponent is Morgan State, according to Jeff Goodman. The Bears join St. Joe’s and Stephen F. Austin on the schedule. Morgan State isn’t anywhere close to a “name” program, though they can not be taken [...]

Gophers will play at Miami in the 2009 ACC-Big Ten Challenge
Posted on 22. Apr, 2009 by JF.
So much for a big game in The Barn. At first glance this should be winnable for the Gophers. Miami will be without face-slapper extraordinaire Jack McClinton, and Miami basketball fans are notorious for arriving late or not at all. The game will be on Wednesday, December 2nd and will be the first match-up between the [...]

Kansas coming to The Barn?
Posted on 12. Apr, 2009 by JF.
Last week it was reported that the Gophers would be taking a one year break from their not yet a rival North Dakota State to play a game on national TV. The Gophers aren’t a national power yet, so the odds are that whomever this mystery opponent is won’t be your average Midsoutherntechstate that has [...]

Too good to be true?
Posted on 17. Mar, 2009 by JF.
As Black Shoe Diaries pointed out, there is basketball match-making site of sorts, where teams court each other, or in the case of mid-majors and power conference schools, engage in the world’s oldest occupation. Buried deep down the page are these two consecutive listings: Minnesota-Mens Type: Game Dates: 11/19/2009 to 11/20/2009 Looking for a team [...]

The Minnesota Athletic Department still knows how to screw over their fans
Posted on 10. Dec, 2008 by JF.
The Big Ten opening game against Michigan State has been moved to 11:00 AM, to accommodate…well, I’m not sure. Yes, the game was scheduled to start at the same time as the Insight Bowl. This would be a scheduling conflict if A) More than 5 people had the NFL network, the only network televising the [...]
