Gophers battle back to down Jackrabbits
Posted on 15. Nov, 2011 by zipsofakron.
It wasn’t the prettiest of victories, especially considering the opponent, but when the scoreboard read 0:00 one of the only things that mattered was the Gophers sitting with a higher score than their opponent. It was an uneasy, squeamish first half for the Gophers, who couldn’t seem to find their shots, much less the [...]

A modest proposal for a “Best of the Midwest” tournament, and then a look at South Dakota State
Posted on 13. Nov, 2011 by JF.
The Golden Gophers play their second game of the season against their not exactly rivals from South Dakota State University. It has been several years since the Gophers started playing the state schools that hug the western border of Minnesota, and the novelty has worn off.

Picking the non-conference season
Posted on 30. Oct, 2011 by JF.
An exercise in futility can best be described as predicting the future based on incomplete information about 18-22 year olds, who of course always act rationally, make wise decisions, and perform to expectations. Feel free to leave your picks in the comments if you so desire, so five months from now I can at the [...]

Looking back at the non-conference season and forward to the Big Ten
Posted on 26. Dec, 2010 by JF.
The Gophers will enter Big Ten play with an 11-1 record, and will likely enter Big Ten play as the second highest ranked Big Ten team after beating South Dakota State on Christmas Eve Eve. It is obviously a little late for the traditional write-up, thanks to the hectic nature of the holiday season. Instead, [...]

Just showing up is just enough, Gophers beat South Dakota State
Posted on 14. Dec, 2008 by JF.
Wednesday night’s Gopher win over the South Dakota State Jackrabbits was dreadful for everyone, and somehow more dreadful than last season’s “victory” over the Jackrabbits. The Gophers were looking back on a string of impressive wins, or looking ahead to finals, Louisville, Christmas break, and maybe summer vacation. Clearly, neither team wanted to be there, [...]

I had originally hoped to include several Watership Down references in this column. This novel of course tells the story of a dystopian rabbit society overcome by infighting and a totalitarian government. Note to all those with children or thinking of having children, even though rabbits are cute and the movie version of this is [...]

Better cupcakes than dead jackrabbits
Posted on 12. Dec, 2007 by JF.
At one point in time, and maybe still, South Dakota State needed to worry about more than just beating their instate rivals Augustana and the University of South Dakota. They also had worry about dodging dead jackrabbits that were hurled on to the court. It seems that with miles of open road, an out of [...]
