I told you OP. Even if you're talking about St. Thomas in the context of Gopher basketball, it's highly frowned upon. It's about the only subject that you cannot discuss on this forum.

I think KAM needs to go. I can't even think of a reasonable argument that he has done an adequate job.

Saying "Fuck off" to someone because they aren't a great hockey coach is kind of weird.

This is scary. We desperately need PG play.

This board is going to be very upset with your take, you're not supposed to talk about UST over here. You can talk about Shadeur Sanders, politics, Tom Izzo and Chili's mozzarella sticks but any discussion of UST is highly frowned upon. Even though they are a D1 team 10 blocks away from Williams...

Fitzgerald has a very strange coaching record. If you take out the COVID year, he was 3-24 in his last Big 10 seasons. Should you take it out? Should you count it? I honestly don't know. If I'm Michigan State, I don't love the hire. But as a team who has to play against Michigan State, I also...

I think it'll be Jim Leonhard or Tony White

The younger hungry ones got offended (some of them saw it as a kick in the butt and some of them saw it as writing on the wall) but people 40+ didn't give a crap if it didn't impact their salary.

I've tried to sell that to people I've demoted as well.

You also need REALLY good receivers and QB play to be successful with the West Coast Offense. A guy like Drew Brees is brutal to play in that system because every pass is on point and it's really hard to stop, so you're kind of just waiting for a receiver to drop a pass, a ball to be tipped at...

The bold is precisely the problem. Comparing the football and basketball programs is insane. The Gopher football team has finished over .500 5 times in in the Big 10 since he has been the coach. The basketball team has had a winning conference record 3 times in the last 27 years. They aren't...

I think our inability to run the ball is partially due to the west coast offense. It's just not a scheme I like in college football. I hate the short passing game. In the college game, with the west coast offense, I don't think anyone is particularly concerned about being beat over the top...

Going out like a coward isn't going to help his future prospects. So yeah, he made a bad bet on his future when all he had to gain was a slightly less bruised ego.

You have a tendency to make arguments against points that no one is making. Again, I am not blaming Niko. I agree we need to give him time to get out of the hole that the program is in. My argument is simply this. . .the lack of a massive NIL program is not an excuse for incompetence. The...

You're pretending that the changing landscape makes these kinds of results inevitable. There are plenty of programs who are similarly-situated who have competent programs. Does the new landscape make it harder to compete for championships? Absolutely. Does it make competency impossible? Nope.
