I'm glad that your family was able to share that moment of a Gopher win. Take care LST.
Thx Monster. By the way, Dad was not nearly as happy the day your Cornhuskers kicked the Gophers' ass!

I bet not! I was honestly surprised at that score.
I'm looking forward to what both of these football programs will be able to do. Amusingly when we drove back into town Friday night from visiting family in Iowa for Thanksgiving I saw a sign that had Nebraska with a winning score. I was shocked (kinda forgot about the game lol). I guess it was just a leftover prediction but the Huskers finished strong I didn't think they would win at Iowa and a close game is encouraging.
Meanwhile what's up with Michigan losing to Ohio state?
Just curious what is the buzz like locally around the Gophers basketball team this year?

Quite a lot of excitement. They are starting two freshmen, and one of them hit an off-balance three at the buzzer last week against Washington to move them to 5-0. They have double double machine Jordan Murphy back for one more year, and 6-10 PF Eric Curry who missed all of last year with knee surgery will be back soon. They are big and physical, but ultimately lack of 3-point shooting might be their downfall...especially if their hot-shooting freshman comes back to earth.

Somewhat of a disappointment. Pitino moved him to PG (a big PG at 6-8), and he hasn't adapted to the new position very well...not shooting well and even fewer assists than when he was a SG. I watched the Washington game and he handles the ball well, so I'm hoping he can turn it around

I listened to a clip of what Jerry had to say and I get why he is upset to some extent but...idk it seems like maybe it's time to let some of that stuff go.

I agree. I think his true colors are being shown here. I think he wants to coach again and can't get a HC job and blames it on the U.

Nothing new here. Just 8-0.
