Exactly. Love UMD. The Gophers should hang their heads in shame if/when ever losing to another MN school. If I was the Gophers AD I would tell my new hockey coach if UMD as a better team than the Gophers in any 2 year period I will fire you and hire their coach for double your salary. The MN...
Pretty sad that we are a hockey school but can’t win. Total D1 hockey teams recently pushed above 60 teams, 28% of all D1 players are from the state of MN yet we haven’t won a natty in over 20 years. Typical of ALL MN sports. Been awhile since celebrating in 87 and 91. Wish it was as simple...
I expect the 10th ranked. Oops. I mean 14th ranked team in the country to at least compete against an unranked opponent. MN nice I see. Our teams will NEVER win a championship. Realistic, I know. Better game being played by Concordia.
And just one season I would like it to be us. Before the season started I saw 10-2. Losing to Cal puts us at 9-3. Bet we drop at least one more so I’ll go with 8-4. I would have really enjoyed 10-2 and just maybe an outside chance of losing in the first round of the playoffs.
The disappointing results are one thing and could happen with any hire. What bothers me and I want NEVER to be repeated is the U hired someone as a HC who should NEVER been hired. Statement or not I’m glad Ben is no longer our HC. Wish him no ill will in whatever he endeavors going forward.
No ill will towards Ben. I hope he succeeds at something going forward in his life. Since the day his eligibility expired he has had very little to zero success in the world of basketball. He was definitely not ready nor successful as a head coach and an argument could be made that he had no...
Maybe he is having a midlife crisis. He was obviously a great HS player and deserved a D1 scholarship. He wasn’t terrible as a college player but played on bad teams. His coaching career has been subpar at best. Maybe he looked in the mirror and realized that he really isn’t cutout for this...
