I wish the guys who drooled over Deion on this board would chime in on some of these embarrassments.

The good news for non-revenue sports is that there is a lot of good people out there who will work and donate money to give kids a chance at an education and the chance to be part of a team. As much as some on this board hate it, there are more supporters of that ideal than paying money to buy...

It would mean the end of most college athletics. If there is a paid portion of the athletic department, why have athletic scholarships for the rest? I love sports and have heard from many non sports folks that say why should we give scholarships to athletes? The answer was always easy, because...

The best part of Gopherhole is the “let’s get really mad at the preseason rankings that don’t like us” and then “salivating over the rankings that do like us.”

Sadly we already have young’ins who don’t know who Sid is.

Lindenwood and Minnesota are two programs that don’t like each other very much. Could be some fireworks.

Absolutely true. It's why our commitment threads on here get much fewer responses than before. It's fun and nice to know you are on the guys radar, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's coming here.

It is really strange. Usually fan boards error on the side of expecting too much. On this site there is a large contingent that doesn't seem to think that in year 4 that even 1 tournament appearance is required. This has kind of turned into a high school program with a really big gym.

Hey don't really care, but I can still find it amusing. I don't need to care about the guy pouring over what lottery tickets to buy at the gas stations to think it's silly.

I guess it all depends on “success” If it’s trips to the postseason? It’s every coach in football and basketball who isn’t Johnson. And I know that you think it’s unfair but that is how so many people judge success. There is just such a small percentage of fans that judge success based on how...

He isn’t half the coach BJ is. Preach it brother!

it was funny. The douchey reply? Not so much.

Well that’s not exactly true is it? Some in either sport have experienced success. Just because your guy hasn’t, shouldn’t cast a dispersion on the rest.

Watching the Super Regionals got me nostalgic about the 2018 Gopher Super Regional team that played Oregon State. Looked back and that Oregon State team that eventually won the title had Adley Rutschman, Trevor Larnach, Steven Kwan, Nick Madrigal, and Dean Rasmussen. And not to mention that...

Yeah but this list is just taking into account winning and fielding successful teams. Smart people like me and Easy Pilgrim, know that has little, if any, bearing on how good a coach is.

All the money that the idiots said basketball and football made was just being stockpiled was actually going to support the non-revenue sports. So after we start paying players, the other sports won’t get supported. Just the way it is. And we get insulated on this site with super fans but me and...

If people are dumb enough to give their money to buy college football and basketball players, it’s their right. And the rest of us are within our rights to laugh at that them.

A lot of teams and coaches did that. And some even made the NCAA tournament.

But how does that work? If we had been able to pay to keep all our guys, it wouldn’t have been to Bens credit, it would be because of the NIL money. I mean how could Ben make everyone eat their words? It would only prove your point that you make over and over again that NIL and money wins all...

I didn't even know I thought that. I can't remember even thinking about it.
