I voted to give him another year, but the thought that players these days are devoted to any one coach is simplistic. If Musselman or Nedved came in the day after Johnson was fired, these guys wouldn’t follow him E, Kentucky or wherever he might end up. The guys that would help us would stay...
I’m surprised someone doesn’t know that this is a contentious issue. The diehards are 50/50. The casual fans are 20/80 and the occasional/bandwagon fans would be surprised to find out we still have a team.
The problem with saying that you “don’t give a crap” about statistics, measurables, and metics but rather a subjective personal idea if the team is moving forward, is rather obvious.

Yikes. stocker, Pilgrim, Rock, Johnny and the gang are going to beat the crap out of the Big10Network guys because they were really critical of the Gophers tonight and you know how that brain trust reacts to anyone who doesn't believe in the strict adherence to the company line.
I hope he does succeed but the projections of success/stardom in this thread are with Maroon colored glasses. He has limitations catching and blocking and while his frame is impressive, there are lots of guys out there who managed to produce with impressive frames.
And it is not as easy to...
This may even be the harder spot. If he was a disaster we move on. But we are obviously in a better spot than we were last year or two years ago and marginally better than 3 years ago under Pitino. He has earned himself another year, but a little afraid that a better Big10 top to bottom may...
Why do you get Garcia off the floor with 4 fouls. Down by 17, you are afraid you won’t have him for the stretch?
I hate this silly line of thinking that has dominated basketball for years. Its like baseball in the 90’s that your closer could only pitch in the 9th or football 15 years ago that...
