Gopher 20 point losses

[tmvander]

If you're feeling like a butt kicking like last night was something you've seen before you probably feel like that because it has happened before...much more.

I did some digging this morning and over the last 5 years (including Big Ten Tournament games and including this year so far) the gophers have lost the second most games by 20+ points against Big Ten opponents. The only other team to lose more games by 20+ is Rutgers.

The interesting thing is that 2 of these years we went to the NCAA tournament. Had I gone back further into the early Pitino years we may more than any team in the Big Ten.

 

[tmvander]

Looked just at the gophers and dating back to Pitino's first year they have 7 more 20+ point losses to Big Ten teams...so 17 total dating back to the 2014-2014 season. Just interesting data.

So when we lose, we lose big!

We lose often.

 

[tmvander]

I noticed a lot of other losses in the 15-19 point range as well. Same with other teams though.

Most anyone with a pulse has witnessed your backstabbing of RP, BADGER. Anyone with any level of integrity will call you out, BADGER.

You sir lie right through your teeth. You have been caught and called out. And you continue with your clown show.

BADGER = FRAUD.

When you want him fired are you backstabbing ! You have never said anything to his face. Not a single lie. Because you say so does not make it so. Your a COWARD and a LIAR

I dont believe he is the right coach for MN BB, after 7 plus years. If that makes me a backstabber, OK.

You have and wouldn't say $hit to my face BADGER. Here's your chance. Bring it. To my face. I have never met RP so no, I have never talked to him. I am sure you are just peaches and cream to his face and then come on GH and stab him in the back and take potshots.

What an upstanding man you are!!!!!

FRAUD.

I do. Cant stand backstabbing, potshot taking liars that wont be honest about their intentions.

BADGER all the way.

We got clobbered two years ago by Illinois, an Illinois team that was near the bottom of the conference and we still and made the tourney and won a game.

we will be fine.

We actually lost a few games that year by 20+ points. I believe the same happened 2 years before that when we made the tournament as a 5 seed as well. The gophers can certainly right the ship.

They can def right the ship but if we lose 4 or 5 during this murder row of games then how much of a shot do we realistically have

Coward, Liar. Pretending you can read my intentions and that you ok backstabbing where you see fit but not for others. You do not get to issue Gopher fan cards based on who supports,cheers for and criticizes the coach or the program. Been clear from the day he was hired. I want him to succeed. His record says that is not so.

Yes we can. I have seen teams lose by 35 points this time of year and then go on to have a great year including winning the conference !

I thought so BADGER. Lacking spine today, BADGER?

Didn't say BOO to RP, did you BADGER?

FRAUD. LIAR.

No pretending necessary BADGER. CLEAR for all to see. I am not the only one to call out your rubbish. I will continue to call you out.

BADGER wont say the things he posts on GH to RP's face. BADGER.

 

[Otis]

Badger and Burner, God love you guys, but could you please kiss and make up?

Or at least hit the ignore button on each other. I like reading both of your takes but this infighting is nauseating.

Lying again you Coward.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

tmvander, any research into my increased productivity due to me turning off these blowout games 5 minutes into the 2nd half?

I don't know this guy, but you are just mad at him because he understands the game, how to build successful programs, etc.

Understand, we will NEVER have top talent here. Not enough of it to just go through the motions. It has to be an entire program type effort to get to where we want to be.

See PJ Fleck. Talent isn't everything. Scheme isn't everything. Heart, desire, toughness do a ton in college sports.

Go Gophs gets it!

Even a coach who knows very little about the sport he's coaching can do great things if he can capture those last nine words of Go Gophs' post!

I did do some digging and I found that there was an abundance of time and energy spent on pornhub as a result of turning off the game so productivity in that department has indeed gone up.

So sorry you dont understand. Let me be clear - BADGER takes potshots and backstabs RP, and has for a number of years. I dont subscribe to that nonsense.

Mad? Uh, no. I dont understand the game as well as most, I am sure.

Never is a long time. The right coach and top talent would be here.
