Bonin tries so hard on the football board to get his shtick to work and it fails so hard.  That place has real eyores not frauds like him.

It should be three straight and 7 of 10. The covid season (2020/2021) the Gophers got screwed due a stupid ruling on how the league handled the difference in amount of conference games played. 

The Gophers OWN the Big Ten!!!

Such an anti-climatic championship. Not even playing today. 
OSU won in the shootout taking 2 points from Michigan.

They have a lot of other new Gopher hockey apparel as well.

In related news, due to Faber and Chesley being unavailable to play the Gophers will have the Big Ten trophy sitting on their bench this weekend as their 13th forward/7th defensemen/extra skater. Being Minnesota nice we figured we would let Penn State get a chance to see it. ?

I never understood division/conference title shirts/etc. National title? Sure. Other than that, just hang another banner. Whoopee.

If this was the case I would never have anything to wear. ?  

As a life long Minnesota sports fan at times I feel the need to poke fun about this (the lack of championships) and in doing so try to keep a sense of humor about it.

If the NCAA tourney format wasn’t so garbage and inconsistent with a sport that has more of a luck factor than any other team sport I can think of then I’d agree. But winning the hardest conference (not to mention the OOC play) is probably more impressive or at the very least a better measure of consistency and true talent level of a team.

Yeah how dare they do something that makes them happy... 

It's their money and their choice so no offense but who are you to judge?

Edit to add: when I was younger one of my favorite shirts to wear was a Gopher Basketball NIT title shirt.  I guess I was just sad though...

The NCAA should put this person in charge of the determining the playoff format.

To all the simple minded Gopher fans… this is a money grab, not shrinking the rink. 

 

I assume you are referring to the change in seating and the new ice surface happening this year and not a t-shirt?  If so, you are off the mark a bit.  It has been well known for years that they were going to have to replace the refrigeration system for the ice due to a decreasing supply of the refrigerant type and changes in EPA regs.

Could they have replaced the ice plant and not made a change to he rink size?  Sure.  But why remain as one of the few teams that have Olympic ice when you have to dig up the whole floor to begin with?  Making the shift to a rink that's closer to NHL size only makes sense.  The added benefit of adding a couple hundred seats is a bonus, but surely won't cover the cost of replacing the refrigeration system.

I can understand maybe not wanting to shrink the ice because they like the Olympic sized sheet (you and I know one of those advocates, based on the FB comments), but I completely disagree with that viewpoint, we do need to shrink the ice.  This is, however, at least a defensible objection.

But, the additional seats (at least for now) are a side-effect of the ice shrinking, not the objective.  Plus, looking at the plans, they're going to be taking away more seats on the top of the end sections than are getting added now, so even the increased capacity is very temporary.

Once again, just another confirmation as to FakeBook being a complete cesspool and why I ditched it about 6 years ago.  Of course, that means I didn't get the joke, but I will survive!

I really don't watch FB that much.  Use messenger to keep in touch with some people more easily, scan for interesting memes/jokes/etc, but pretty much stay out of any comment, unless I'm looking for a good laugh like the bozos suggesting that shrinking the ice is a money-grab.

Oh come on don't be fooled by the U of M they are purposely adding more lower seats by the ice because they want more expensive seats to sell to rich/corporate people and are removing higher seats by the concourse because they don't care about the true fans who sit in those seats. They are trying to kick us out. It all just a money grab to make more money and screw people who aren't rich. They don't care about us true fans.

Did I do this right? ? ?

It is hard to hold too high of a standard though.  I have shirts from roughly 20 and 21 years ago that are not looking good at all but I still have them because of my frozen four or more standard.  I need new T Shirts so that is my main goal for this season.

I'm OK with Shirts/etc for regular season conference championships.  Those need to be earned.  National Championships are a no-brainer, of course.

@maroon_and_gold I should have replied to Handy because it isn’t a joke. He’s making fun of people for expressing concern about the play last weekend. And I just didn’t feel like any of the criticism for last weekend’s play was over the top.

The Gophers didn't even score in the 3rd and lost the period. They are clearly trending in the wrong direction.

Cardinal said last year after the Michigan loss in the Big Ten Championship the future was looking like a disaster or something similar.  That is why I chose that word.

I think there's still a Twins "smell 'em" shirt from the Nick Punto years in the back of my closet.
