Perfect timing. With baseball season ending, it is time to turn to college basketball and the Gophers start tonight in a preseason exhibition against the hated Bulldogs of UMD.
The team has certainly been in the news lately, and for all the wrong reasons, but now it's time to hit the ...
The threes finally fall as the Gophers win again
fromthebarn.org 27 days ago — Another exhibition game, another big win, and another positive development that may only be result of an exhibition game. After last season’s atrocious three-point shooting, the Gophers may have broken out of their funk last night during their 98-49 victory over the Minnesota-Moorhead ...
Game 1 Review: A little rust, but Gophers roll past Tennessee Tech
fromthebarn.org 23 days ago — Even good shooting teams have bad shooting nights. What often separates good shooting teams from bad shooting teams is shot selection. Open shots won’t always fall, but they have a much better chance of going in than well covered, rushed or reckless shots. All too often last season, ...
Game 3 Review: Another lop-sided win, at least on the scoreboard
fromthebarn.org 16 days ago —
Thursday’s 76-51 win against Utah Valley came in Minnesota’s third game of the young season, and was also their last true tune-up of the young season. On Thanksgiving night, and two days thereafter, the Gophers begin what could potentially be their most difficult stretch of ...
Gophers win, Royce White is still a mystery
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com 24 days ago — Usually when a rare Saturday roles around where I have no plans and no major projects needing to be done, which today is one of such of that, I like to do nothing. Sit around, play with Wonderbaby TM , watch some tv, and generally do nothing. However, with the Gopher basketball opener ...
Game 2 Review: A slow start, and then a slaughter
fromthebarn.org 20 days ago —
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 ...

Quick Thoughts: Gophers 76 Utah Valley 51
fromthebarn.org 18 days ago — To be expanded upon at a later time…
Lawrence Westbrook is to the Gophers’ offense what Damian Johnson is to the defense. Westbrook was out with food poisoning, and the Gopher offense was out of it.
Bold prediction: Rodney Williams will be the Big Ten freshman of the year.

World Series Game 5 Live Blog
downwithgoldy.blogspot.com 11/3/2009 — It could be the last game of the baseball season, so I might as well Live Blog this crap, right? Plus we'll see if my man-crush on Cliff Lee grows, or just disappears like a john, with nothing more than a crisp new fifty on the night stand and a slight burning sensation during ...

By Mike Gallagher
While Trevor Mbakwe was in suit and tie on the bench, Devron Bostick home sick, and Royce White nowhere to be found during the Gophers 82-42 drubbing of Stephen F. Austin, Rodney Williams Jr. was making the Williams Arena crowd forget those three were ever part of the ...
