I'm not making an argument, I'm just challenging a moron who knows nothing about a coach. Who then proceeds to claim said coach will probably never be good enough to be an assistant in the B1G because he's almost 40 coaching high schoolers. Nice logical fallacy.
I get that you're butthurt about the self-evident fact that Craig Smith is a vastly superior coach to Ben Johnson (so butthurt that you had to add it to your signature line like an infant), but you didn't need to use that butthurt to re-attach yourself to my testes in this thread as you've done so many times in the past.
Great reference though : )
If Sam Houston State was on the schedule, that would be a very real possibility. I think they'd be favored.
Our next B1G game is at the Kohl Center. A place we've won twice (?) ever. Sure thing.
Almost beat them last year with less talent. Badgers play close with every team they play.
I know you guys might be arguing technicalities of what was said. But statistically, the odds of any 37 year old high school coach eventually being a B1G assistant is tiny. Say 1/1,000. Even if Damien Johnson's chances are 5 x that high, it's still very unlikely to ever happen.
It might be close. But the 8-on-5 games at the Kohl Center almost always turn out the same way.
Going to Madison and win - that what your saying?
We're #1! Take that Louisville!
Wut?
Miss. State was only favored by 7.5 though.
Cal literally has not won a game yet, how could they have a lower % than us?
You think butthurt is a homophobic reference? I'd also love to see these misogynist and racist references you allude to, but I'm not holding my breath given your hot take on butthurt. Get a clue.
Pac12 is a decent amount worse than the B1G, especially down the line. You also do realize the only teams we have beat are TERRIBLE.
This is why statistics are fun. Based at least on the current power ranking, the Gophers would be a statistical underdog in every conference game they play, home and away. BUT, it's still an exceedingly small chance (<5%) that they lose them all. It's a little like the pro sports in this town and their consecutive seasons streak of avoiding the championship round: each year, the chances of going to the finals are small, but over decades, the chances of NOT going to the finals are VERY SMALL.
I totally get we have stunk and the B1G is better than the Pac12, but seriously, Cal is 0-11 currently. How is that even possible for a power 6 team? I suppose if the bottom dwellers of that conference are only marginally better, that makes sense.
Do we get Purdue at home? I smell blood in the water...
I hate everything. There is no way this is what Coyle thought would happen.
Correct, they get 2 shots at 199th ranked Ore St (for reference we are 174), the current lowest ranked opponent we get would be Nebraska who is 80th.
Yeah, I thought it meant you got yer rear kicked. Nothing more than that.
Can't wait for their first tournament selection where Ben turns to the camera and yells, "Spaulding you doubted us... but now we're here!"
This. this would be my magnum opus
You don’t know how much I hope you’re right. I’m one seeing slight improvement but not as much as you.
