    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    No counter argument I see. Not interested in acknowledging the challenges of the job, just bashing the coach.

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    Would you say PJ Fleck underachieved with the 2018 football team, barely making a bowl game with a roster that had Rashod Bateman, Tyler Johnson, Chris Autman-Bell, Antoine Winfield, Carter Coughlin, Rodney Smith, Shannon Brooks, Mo Ibrahim, Terrell Smith, Esezi Otomewo, Coney Durr, Seth Green...

    2024 Minnesota football predictions: Ranked No. 72 by RJ Young

    The text next to our ranking seems somewhat optimistic, but the 72 ranking feels like he's not high on us. But I checked the full ranking, and he has us only 11th in the Big Ten, which is lower middle of the conference. I assumed that 72 puts us among the worst teams in the power 4. He...

    Mid-Summer Field of 68 Projection Feeling the SEC As Best Top-to-Bottom Conference

    You said you don't think the SEC has any total crap teams. Missouri went winless in conference last year, do you see them being substantially better, a tough game for the Gophers to win?

    CBS predicts Gophers will go 5-7 (wins: North Carolina, Rhode Island, Nevada, Iowa, Maryland)

    Also if we're looking at history, I don't think Illinois has been favored against Minnesota in at least 10 years, maybe 15. We were favored in the last 3 that we lost. Last year of course we had the lead and Illinois was like 4th and 11 on their own 15 yard line with a minute to go or...

    Bart Torvik's current Big Ten rankings followed by my estimation of conference SOS based on his rankings

    Official: USC hires Eric Musselman to replace Andy Enfield

    Have we ever spent the amount of money on a basketball coach that Eric Musselman would have commanded? Remember Coyle fired Tracy Claeys after what was a pretty good football season because he had the opportunity to get PJ Fleck. If we had the money to pay Musselman, and he had interest in...

    Andy Enfield might leave USC for SMU. Saw speculation that Eric Musselman could then end up at USC

    Who knew Gopher's season would be longer than Kentucky's!

    Why all the self-serious replies? It seemed to me the whole premise of a thread is a joke, that being the context-less statement that Minnesota lasted longer in the post-season than one of the most prestigious programs in the sport, Kentucky. Obviously making the tournament is better than not...

    Official March Madness Thread

    Illinois up 1 at halftime. Is yet another Underwood Illinois team going to flame out in the tournament? One regular season title and two B1G Tournament titles, but Underwood hasn’t made a Sweet Sixteen yet.

    History of Transfer Portal Commitment Dates - 2024 Version

    Good info. Hopefully this will keep people from freaking out when we don't have 3 transfer commitments by April 1st, but we'll see. I remember the meltdown when Jack Wilson committed, under the assumption that no one who committed after him would be any good.

    Gophers in the NIT!!

    It does look like they've made some effort to keep things regional. Outside of a first round game at Iowa, Butler is probably one of the closest teams to us. Other matchups are Richmond at Virginia Tech, Kansas State at Iowa, Appalachian State at Wake Forest, Boston College at Providence, and...

    Wow: Badgers buy 3 billboards by Target Center to highlight Twin City Badgers

    They should put one of their black players from the last decade on those billboards, ya know, for diversity.
