    Johnson: “I have some personal pride that I’ll be the only minority coach in the league. I take that with a badge of honor."

    The thought of buying a ticket and going to a game with a brown paper bag over my head has crossed my mind more than once. His counterpart on the women's side was let go after the same amount of time with a much better track record of success and a nucleus of young players poised to develop...

    Johnson: “I have some personal pride that I’ll be the only minority coach in the league. I take that with a badge of honor."

    I am getting irritated. This victim routine is getting damn old. He is not being unfairly persecuted based on race. He is being assessed on a large body of work, and the results are self-explanatory - they are abysmal. He is the worst coach in Gopher MBB history. Whether he is doing it...

    What was your favorite Patrick Reusse moment?

    As someone who has occasionally suffered bouts of diarrhea of the mouth, the rush to judgment is indeed getting completely out of hand. With context, there is nothing racist intended. I would have just clarified it was in reference to Brass Monkey by the Beastie Boys. Not my favorite tune of...

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    I disagree he was dealt a tough hand. He came in with zero head coach experience. Hiring is a 50/50 proposition with experienced people. It is even less with inexperienced people. While I can appreciate outside the box thinking, this was outside the plant that makes the boxes thinking that...

    ***OFFICIAL wisconsin AT MINNESOTA SENIOR NIGHT (JOHNSON'S LAST HOME GAME?) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    My hunch tells me he is gone. From a leadership perspective, he just simply hasn't produced. Market conditions, tough luck, whatever. He is ultimately responsible for identifying and filling gaps, and that includes money and resources. He's compensated to produce wins. He has not done so. There...

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    I had a chance to see Athlete's Village recently. The practice facilities are top notch. The whole complex is very, very nice. The athletes can get everything there - food, medical, training, tutoring, etc. Maybe that is why they are struggling at home. They practice in modern facilities, so...

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    It was click bait. The entire industry now is based largely on "traffic". Seth Davis did his job. People are talking about it. Some are already making doomsday preparations. But more importantly, they are returning to the site and tuning in to see if his prophecy becomes reality. Translation: $$$$

    This. It would have been better to just say "we came out flat and played like sh*t again" instead of this word salad nonsense.

    I believe they were speaking hypothetically, in that some decision makers could think that way. They are in no way advocating that is the route we should take. BG has been quite consistent on ending this trainwreck.

    Neal: Moving forward with Ben Johnson is the only option for Gophers men’s basketball

    Unless Marcus is buying several high-caliber players that we are unaware of, he needs to shut his yap. This is putrid, and that is being generous.

    Neal: Moving forward with Ben Johnson is the only option for Gophers men’s basketball

    Sometimes, Ben, the best thing to say is nothing at all. There is no need to fill the void with nonsense. But nonsense we have.

    As long as he can listen to the radio at a reasonable level.

    If they miss the BTT, March 10, 2 pm press conference. Pull the plug. If they make the BTT, then March 17. Four years is more than enough time.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    6th grade was when the politics really started to get dirty. Six years later, the Hall Monitor Controversy would morph into the Homecoming Debacle. How my buddy became king is something I can't grasp even to this day.
