Once tomorrow's MBB game against NDSU is over, we are officially in the pre-holiday slump where Gopher sports feel like they grind to a halt. Bleh.

Plenty to keep an eye on, with men's & women's hockey on the road, volleyball in the Sweet 16, and men's basketball at USC.

Teague's lobbying paid off, the hoopty ballers continue to get national love, Nebraska got nuked by Bert, and my favorite season is drawing to a close.

The national buzz around the Gophers continues to grow following their big win @ FSU.

Perspective on the Gophers' road win in Tallahassee last night, from non-basketball illiterates like myself. From the Barn talks about true colors and things: Even with the conference season...

A helping of Gophers links combined with a side of Smorgasbord videos.

Quick hit links, including a nice reminder of how awesome MarQueis Gray is as a person and a ton of video links from this past weekend.

Gopher football will be without its best receiver in a must-win game at Illinois, Gopher hoops tips off their season against American University (how patriotic!) and Gopher Hockey skates up in Alaska against Anchorage this weekend.

Gopher football plays Michigan for the 93rd time for the Little Brown Jug, while Gopher hoops beat Mankato last night and Gopher hockey hopes to do the same this weekend.
