Honestly I think Gophs could be a better *team* built on Mashburn, Robbins, Gabe, Gach, Ihnen, Williams and maybe Mitchell next year.

Tim Miles for bball head coach.

Agree. Hard to take the appearance of sports seriously when the government is telling us that there's an existential threat surrounding us. "let's give them just enough of their precious little sport to keep them pacified."

We keep hearing "oh Carr and Oturu are so talented" every single game, yet same result. At some point you have to conclude that common denominator is the X's and O's. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is in the hunt for a B1G title with... Brad Davison...

Those Ohio State and Michigan wins are looking better and better... 16 wins + 2 wins in the B1G might get the Gophers in.

Richard's mid-to-lower level recruits (aside from the obvious high-end guys like an Oturu or Carr) are aaaaaaalllllllllllllways painfully one-dimensional (Omersa, Konate) or zero-dimensional (Hurt, Diedhiou). To develop an NCAA-threat team and a decent bench you need a steady stream of...

The marketing and advancement department is clearly way out of sync with the vision of the Coyle regime. Clean house and get new staff in there.

5-2 finish that'll be consistent with the hot and cold trend this year. W - Iowa W - Indiana W - @Northwestern L - Maryland L @Wisconsin W - @Indiana W - Nebraska Lack of quality wins will leave them needing 1 win in B1G to seal NCAA berth.

Ok so 6-1 the rest of the way makes them a lock and 5-2 puts them on the bubble, right?

"home court advantage" implies getting behind the team and making it difficult for the opponent no matter what the score. "It gets really loud when Minnesota is playing well or goes on a run" is not a home court advantage. "Give us something to cheer about!" misses the whole point.

My guess is that things are slow to change and adapt because of "we've always done it this way" syndrome. Joe bagadonuts in the athletic department has been there for 25 years and his job is safe so long as the bottom doesn't fall out. "Good enough" is all that's required. It is basically a...

And now Iowa showing how it's done.

Wisconsin somehow able to show how it's done today. SHOCKER! We can do better.

I say let's start making Williams Arena louder than a library before we start making fun of other teams.

But my main point is that it was a morgue for the first 10 minutes when it was a very tight game. Sure, we weren't scoring, but we were stopping them as well.
