I do understand the dissatisfaction with what started out as a promising campaign that turned into a disaster but when you lose your starting PG and your only other option decides he's unhappy with the coaching staff and his role there isn't much you can do other than pray it works itself out...

Outstanding performance for the Gophers this weekend in Puerto Rico. I think the Gophers have shown a lot of potential for a solid run in the murder's row that is the Big 10 this season and this tournament showed that this is a team that can compete with anyone on the schedule and will only get...

I was there last week with my son and one of the awards given out was for "Long Distance Camper" and the winner was a young man (around the age of 9) who came all the way from Minneapolis Minnesota. I couldn't help but chuckle and think of the folks here at the Gopherhole.

You guys faced a lot of adversity (on and off the court) but pulled together to make a nice run that got you in the field of 65. Good luck against Xavier and I'll be pulling for you guys along the way.

I'm well aware of some of the "disdain" towards the Kentucky program, fans, coach, etc but I'd like to take this moment to ask all of the Gopher fans out there (and I know there are a few that live in Kentucky) to support the telethon the basketball team is putting on tomorrow for Unicef and The...

I know he was the Defensive Coordinator for a bit under Glenn Mason but I don't really remember much about his tenure. Anyone share any insight as to what kind of Coordinator he was in regards to scheme, tendencies, playcalling etc. Rumors going around he's going to be named Kentucky's new...

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/story/1293180.html [/b] That quote wasn't even the most shocking or outrageous claim in the article by Carl Henry. It's a fun read though.

Here's some info culled from Dustin Rumbaugh, the LCJ's Jody Demling and ZagBlog's coverage of the camp: -Harrison's teammate for the camp? Minnesota target Corey Joesph..who is still mentioning UofL a lot but Jody Demling thinks that the winds have shifted and UofL has fallen back -Harrison...

The issues involving Derrick Rose recently, coupled with some article raising this question by Dan Wetzel and Mike DeCoursey, have gotten me interested in this subject: Does racism play a factor in how we view basketball recruits and recruiting in general? As an example I'd like to digress...

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AsFbqp35MLS1bnUZsGtal885nYcB?slug=dw-agerule060309&prov=yhoo&type=lgns I'm usually against government "meddling" in things like these but Congressman Cohen does have a point. Yes, he represents a district that includes Memphis and its University so this...

Some interesting discussions the last few days on college basketball and the state of it. What are some changes that you would like to see or think are needed? Here are mine: -Elimination of early signing period. The intentions for its implementation were good (allowing more kids to play...

All this talk of money has got me thinking and I thought I'd ask how does your athletic department operate in regards to funding? At UK the athletics department is a separate, not for profit entity and receives no funding from the University i.e. the state. When the cost of tuition goes up...

I understand you're pretty plugged in. Do you know if Coach Calipari spoke with Coach Smith? I understand he did and was wondering what was said.

I was only able to see the second half because of other commitments but that was an outstanding defensive performance.

If Minnesota (no jinx) make the tournament this year Tubby Smith will be only the second coach to take 4 different programs to the NCAA tourney. The only other is.....Eddie Sutton. Now, WHEN (and he will. I have no doubt about that) Minnesota makes the Sweet Sixteen I believe he'll be the...
