I created a Starter Pack with #Gophers fans that I know of. Let me know if someone should be added!

#Minnesota ICE Patrol update:

they're pulling guns on observers now. Not just the young/middle aged punks like me. like 65 year old women.

They're stressed, they hate being here, and they're scared, they know the overwhelming majority of this state hates them.

Are we going to have to pay for the crap Texas grid failures again?
Widespread freezing rain and sleet are expected south of the primary snow axis. Significant and damaging ice accumulations are likely, with the potential for long-duration power outages, tree damage, and dangerous travel conditions.

Simply breathtaking in its ignorance.
I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

The irony of sharing news from an outlet I suggest you avoid is only topped by what's inside the article.
NYTimes has truly outdone itself with this latest in its "ask white guys in diner" genre. Thank goodness we get a perspective on what's happening in Minneapolis from people in **Nisswa** who probably mean Brainerd when they say they "prefer not to go the city anymore" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

#Gophers down 72-70 with 35 seconds left. Bucky ball after the timeout.
January 14, 2026 at 1:57 AM
This fucking team and their goddamn free throws.
January 14, 2026 at 1:51 AM
Carrington talking a lot of shit for someone who is barely on a Big Ten roster.

Sheesh. Bucky hits four straight FGs, including three 3s, but Minnesota not backing down. Reynolds picks up the and-1 in transition. FT pending at the U-16 timeout.

#Gophers up 45-41

#Gophers up 11, 41-30 with 18:20 left. They are minimizing mistakes (3 TOs) and being smart with the ball. 13 assists on 16 FGs (that's amazing btw).

#NikoBall?!

Allow me to break up the shit storm temporarily with an update that the #Gophers are beating Wisconsin at halftime and are looking damn good doing it.

Okay, play defense again now plz

Oh my.

Funny, "Minnesota has missed some free throws here down the stretch" is actually tattooed on my forearm like a Memento reminder.

Might found a religion given how capable I am at accepting late-game disintegration. I'm like a Gopher Buddha.

Just completely at peace.

@patricksaxton.bsky.social There was a game tonight?

If this team makes fts and stays out of foul trouble they will be in games, but there are going to be at least 4 where it's no one but gizzi left out there

While we're pouring one out for Esko Boy let's remind ourselves that he wasn't even the best safety on the team and almost singlehandedly lost the team an entire game

They did it!
Once again, you’re allowed to QB sneak on 4th and 1 or just run out of the I-formation
