We have shifted the CHAIR-ity game to volleyball this year since we don't play each other in football. We've have an added bonus this year and anyone who donates on behalf of Minnesota will be entered into a drawing to win tickets to the Minnesota - Iowa volleyball game. To date, we have raised over $160,000 for both respective charities. That has been in no small part to the support we get from you all on here.

You can donate here

Howdy everyone! If you haven't listened before, we used to be a Pac-12 show and transitioned to Big Ten this offseason. This week, we'll be previewing all the weekend games, including No. 20 Illinois traveling to No. 1 Oregon, No. 3 Penn State's dangerous roadie at Wisconsin, Minnesota's tilt vs. Maryland, and all the action in between.

Tune in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOPEo1brZwQ

Howdy all:

I have two tickets (reserved chairback in Section 10) for Saturday's game at Ridder vs. the BADgers at 3.

Free to anyone who wants them, I can transfer them directly to your gophersports.com ticket account. These tickets are from a coworker who can't make it.

Row the Boat/Ski-U-Mah/Go GO GO GOPHERS!

After a long couple of weeks of football, our valiant team now gets a well deserved break before homecoming. But you know who's just getting started in conference play? The #2 Golden Gopher Women's Hockey team. And who are we playing this coming weekend? The #1 BADgers.

Plenty of tickets are still available, general admission seats are $12.50 and students are free with your U-Card. It's a great atmosphere, they play fast and tough hockey, and there isn't a single bad seat in all of Ridder Arena. We've got a pep band, we've got a great student section, and we've got the most storied program in all of collegiate women's hockey.

We need as much Maroon and Gold there as possible. Wisconsin fans travel hard for this series, at one game last year it was damn near 60/40 Gophers and badgers. This series will set the tone for our and Wisconsin's conference play. And just like the last few years, it seems likely the national championship will again come down to the top WCHA teams: us, ohio state, wisconsin, and maybe Duluth.

And if you come, you can spot me by the glass near the band, losing my goddamned mind. Come say howdy!

Friday at 6:00, Saturday at 3:00.

WE JUST BEAT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CLOWNIFORNIA. SO MUCH FOR BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO JOIN THE GEOGRAPHICALLY REMOVED BIG TEN CONFERENCE.

That off side call on the onside kick was such obvious rigging!!

Good morning! Fellow B1G’er seeking advice from the local experts. I will be visiting MSP in the coming weeks with a group and we were curious if there are any breweries that are best to watch the Saturday slate of games, preferably in Minneapolis?

We are somewhat open to bars as well, though are seeking larger spaces since we’ll be in a group. Thanks all!

Seriously, this was a winnable game! What happened during halftime??? 😒😒

Anyone got an update or opinion on him coming back or not? Doesn’t seem like he’s NHL bound & we got Wood. Personally I always liked Pitty, I hope he comes back

We’re planning on heading out to UCLA friday evening and we’re looking for where gopher fans may be congregating outside of the official tailgate stuff. Any thoughts would be great!

Just a hypothetical. Obviously program success is a bigger factor, but I was thinking of Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, PSU, etc. These schools are outside of the biggest population centers in their state and therefore aren’t competing with other attractions. Their towns center around their university.

Is it just on Fox Sports?

A couple friends and I are going to our first Gophers game. We will be looking to drink beers and have some fun - where do you guys suggest we go to have a good tailgate?

Also, we will not be driving. Just looking for some beers and chill.

My husband and I are going to the football game vs. Nevada this Saturday. We’re bringing our 14-year-old son and his friend (same age). Are there any activities in the Huntington stadium area that are suitable for 14-year-olds to pass a few hours before the game starts?
