The Minnesota Gophers, under new Coach Tim Brewster, slipped to 1-3 after falling to Purdue, 45-31, on Saturday. With the Gophers putting their won-lost record on a hoodia diet under Coach Brewster, some folks are beginning to wonder if Minnesota can even generate one Big 10 win this season. Some in the local media – [...]
6’10″ Colton Iverson, who tips the scales at 235-lbs., committed to the Minnesota Gophers basketball team recently, locking in one of two big men spots that Smith is hoping to fill in his first recruiting season with the Gophers. Iverson needs to learn to play at a Big 10 level, but has all the makings [...]
To judge by the local media, in the wake of the unexpected death by truck-train collision of former Timberwolf Eddie Griffin, the Timberwolves have gone lights-out. There hasn’t been a mention of a free agent signing (or attempted signing), a trade either successful or falling through (even though we all know that in the wake [...]

As part of his campus visit this past weekend, Smith took Sampson to the Gophers football game, where [...]
It’s nothing to get too excited about yet. After all, the Falcons are without their dog-fighting QB and are starting a never-was like Joey Harrington at the position because they made a major error in trading away former backup Matt Schaub, not with Houston and leading them to victory on Sunday over Kansas City. But [...]
Teams make dumb moves sometimes; with the Vikings it sometimes seems like a bad habit they just can’t shake. Over the weekend, they committed their latest. It’s a blunder that’s not on the scale of not getting their draft pick to the podium on time, but it’s not a smart move, either. In the seventh [...]
TwinCities.com columnist Charley Walters is reporting that Princeton, MN, seven-footer Jared Berggren is still firmly setting his post-high school sights on the University of Wisconsin as his basketball destination, despite the fact that his home-state Gophers squad now has the legendary Tubby Smith as the program’s head coach.
