I have been saying the Gophers are a problem for a while. Tubby Smith wass shocked at the state of our facilities when he got here. All of our coaches have struggled mightily to have success since Clem and that's not all on the coaches ability, a lot of that is the program/school. We are...

I highly doubt Ben did little to nothing and just suffered through it. Was probably a combination of him not being great at raising NIL money but also him running into a lot of resistance and or difficulty. Companies probably didn't want to invest because they didn't believe, or for another...

If the Gophers improve I will be more invested, if the Gophers stay mediocre or get worse, I will be less invested.

Great news I'm tired of the Gophers always seeming second-rate and a low NIL just cements that.

It's a joke that this team can muster more than 700K we are dommed as long as we can barely scrape funds together and support this program.

We are too quiet.

Happy for coach he bounced back big after his exit here.

I'm very excited to see what the recruiting news will be this off-season. I hope he has some big gets.

I'm not saying anything against Niko and I am not proclaiming we had the greatest coaches in the past. What I am saying is that any failings they may or may not have had, were also greatly hampered by the program itself. Whether that's boosters, facilities, fan support, administration, or...

You don't think Tubby or Pitino has any level of competency requisite for Division 1 coaching? Did Pitino magically gain competency after he got fired from here? Did Tubby lose it as soon as he was hired?

We have been mediocre for the vast majority of the last quarter century. At the same time we are in one of the best conferences in the country, we have been one of the more prestigious major research Universties, we have a massive student body and our state has produced several elite basketball...

The University needs to support him. Pitino did an interview the other day and talked about how U of M doesn't give enough support to the program. Niko also is going to have to work his ass off to get NIL money. We wont turn things around if we don't step it up from every angle. Tired of the U...

I am not saying that; I am saying that the university has to do better. No matter who we bring in we will have problems if we don't improve.

The facility at the time was just symptom of the bigger issue. I am talking about our support all around, and not as much from fans, donors, money, investment. All of that matters, The Timberwolves have had similar issues, bush league. There are different levels of prestige and approach and we...

New Mexico about to get past round 2. I am convinced that the biggest problem with the program is the school. Our coaches have had their faults but reality is, the school does not get enough support for the program. I remember hearing an interview with Tubby Smith about how shocked he was at the...
