Gophers beat Cornell, but it was too close for comfort
Posted on 05. Dec, 2010 by JF.
Well, that wasn’t how we wanted the Gophers to play, was it? With a slightly better defensive performance and a shaky at best offensive game, the Golden Gophers hung on to beat the Big Red 71-66. It is easy to panic, get discouraged, or become confused about where this team has been and where it [...]

Game 2 Review: A slow start, and then a slaughter
Posted on 17. Nov, 2009 by JF.
I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to being a bit nervous throughout most of the first half of the Gophers 82-42 win over the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks. Over the weekend Iowa lost to Southland Conference also-ran UT-San Antonio, and for a while at least it appeared that the Lumberjacks had an upset on [...]

Tubby’s Tip-off- The Youtube Roundup
Posted on 18. Oct, 2009 by JF.
I know I haven’t provided my usual nerdy recap of Tubby’s Tip-off. There was a nice weather emergency this weekend. The sun was actually out, and I wasn’t about to waste the last opportunity to clean out the garage. You’ll get your recap, I promise. In lieu of the recap, more videos of the fun [...]

Royce White grew up, now can he live up to expectations?
Posted on 21. Sep, 2009 by JF.
Royce White grew up. His basketball skills were never in doubt. Since his Freshman year at De LaSalle he has been on recruiting lists a mile long and heralded as the next great basketball player to come out of Minnesota. All that attention, hype, and praise can go to a young man’s head, and it [...]

Table-top Barn Ball
Posted on 15. Apr, 2009 by JF.
On Kare 11 News last night, eternal creator of mixed feelings (funny, annoying, rage inducing?) Eric Perkins featured what could only be described as the perfect Christmas present. If anyone out there has wood-working skills, has 400 spare hours, and wants to send this over: a table-top basketball game that is a near-perfect replica of Williams [...]

The Gophers are Dancing!
Posted on 15. Mar, 2009 by JF.
And the dance will be Texas two-step. Despite one of the tougher draws of the entire field (Texas and then Duke, ouch) it is absolutely thrilling to be back in the NCAA Tournament. Needless to say from the video of their reaction (expand to full-screen if it doesn’t work) the players are excited. Congratulations!

Badgers beat, sweep complete!
Posted on 05. Mar, 2009 by JF.
As anyone who has participated in a live blog here can tell you, I check my objective blogger persona at the door when the Gophers are in a close game. This is especially the case at The Barn when Wisconsin comes to town. While comparisons to past games and various statistics are still floating around [...]
