Well I’ll be….where in the name of Clem Haskins has this team been all season.  Intensity, concentration, EXECUTION.  If all it takes is a shaved head to win in this business, than maybe Joel Maturi should consider bringing Andre Agassi on board as a consultant. Not that it even comes close to making up for [...]

As long as they beat the Badgers

In the darker days of Gopher basketball, and for the last 40 years or so in Gopher football, there was always a saving grace to even the most atrocious season. Beating the Badgers has a way of making up for countless losses and blown opportunities, and can make even the darkest off season tolerable. This [...]

By the Numbers: Nine to Go

Posted on 04. Feb, 2010 by zipsofakron.

Gophers: 13-8, 4-5 in the Big Ten.  Nine games to go.  Lost four of their last five.  Can things look bleaker? It’s hard not to be discouraged after a season in which such high hopes have disintegrated into an abysmal pool of mediocrity.  Results have fallen miles short of expectations, players have walked away from [...]

Royce White was officially charged in the missing laptop incident.  Still unclear if/when he will join the team. It goes without saying, but as Wisconsin found out there are no easy games in Big Ten play. Iowa goes to Bloomington and mauls Indiana by 15.  Really? Michigan State has decided to redesign it’s classic Spartan [...]

Part four of the Big Ten preview hops across the border to learn more about the hated Wisconsin Badgers, and asks important questions like who should we hate, and why? Hoops Marinara generously provided the following information: FTB: Wisconsin has picked up quite the reputation for their border raiding ways. How are the Minnesotans coming [...]

Today the Big Ten announced the “one game” match-ups for the 2009-2010 basketball season. Due to 11 Big Ten teams and 18 conference games, there are always two teams that each Big Ten teams plays only once. This upcoming season, Purdue and Iowa face the Gophers twice. For the next two years, Wisconsin and Illinois [...]

University of Wisconsin Badgers lose to Minnesota Gophers Bo blames Badger loss on exhaustion. If slow ball is wearing his team down, they really need to hit the tread mill. Badgers burned in The Barn Landry disagrees, and argues that running up a hill has his team in excellent physical condition. Clutch Westbrook leads Gophers [...]

Barn Blurbs 3/3/09: Wisconsin Hatefest Edition

Not that anyone needs a reason to hate the eastern neighbors, but here are just a few: 1. The Serial Killers There must be something in the water that causes Wisconsinites to want to drink that water after devouring human flesh, or wearing that flesh as clothing. Between the acts of Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein [...]

Limited Tickets Remain for Final Home Games The Wisconsin game is already sold out, though some seats remain. This of course doesn’t make much sense. The most likely scenario is that a ticket will get you in the door but the definition of “seat” will be on the “creative” side. With the two most important [...]

Save the season in six simple steps!

No it won’t be that easy, and the title has a whole lot more to with its alliterative qualities than salvaging a season that is rapidly taking on water and in danger of sinking like every other team from this state. If you don’t remember 2003,  consider yourself lucky. If you like visiting Fort Snelling, [...]

Highlights from BTN Highlights from ESPN Lawrence Westbrook interview Defying every stereotype of the always choking Minnesota team, the Gophers roared back from a fourteen point deficit in the second half, took control early in overtime, and beat the Badgers leaving the Kohl Center in shocked and devastated silence. The 78-74 overtime win was Minnesota’s [...]

I’m still trying to wrap my head around this one. I might need to watch the game again to be able write anything coherent. Until then… Gophers’ victory worth the wait From that point, though, the Badgers had four turnovers, and a lineup of Westbrook, Blake Hoffarber, Damian Johnson, Devron Bostick and Paul Carter helped [...]

This is intended to be a check on the irrational exubrance that many, including myself have been suffering since Minnesota’ s home win over Penn State. Being a life long Minnesotan, I’ve learned that it is never good to get one’s hopes up, and doing so only leads to even more despair when the inevitable [...]

A few of you may remember what can only be described, in the words of the kids these days, my “Epic Fail” of a Big Ten Preview last year. Not only did I begin my preview half way through the season, but I started with the worst teams first, and didn’t bother finishing it. While [...]

Yes, I know there isn’t such a thing as a good loss, there are no moral victories, and to say that a team had either a moral victory or a good loss does little more than indicate how bad that team actually is. Well, the Gophers aren’t very good, but they played much better than [...]

With their chance to go the NCAA tournament this year all but dashed, Dan Coleman, Spencer Tollackson, and Lawrence McKenzie are in real danger of being known more for what they did not do than what they accomplished. They did make it the NCAA tournament three years ago on a team actually led by seniors [...]

If a picture is worth a thousand words, from a Gopher fans perspective, all the words to describe Sunday’s embarrassing home loss would be negative. On a weekend that will go down in history in ways large and small because teams and individuals, against all odds, took it to their supposedly superior opponents, the Minnesota [...]

One supposedly fierce quasi-rodent down, and one to go. Just three days after a confidence restoring road win at Michigan, the Gophers will need all that confidence, all the skill and athleticism they can muster, and maybe a bit of luck  to beat the hated Badgers in what would be a signature and possibly program [...]
