    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Well here is your opportunity to expand the conversation. Budget and Resources come to mind. One take is to look at other factors. Failure to do this is a recipe to repeat mediocrity or worse.

    CBS: Big Ten stadium rankings (10. Minnesota - Huntington Bank Stadium)

    The nice thing about that is you have choices on which airport to fly into. We chose BWI. Long drive, but fun atmosphere. Know many Penn State fans, but I still think that it would have been fun if I didn't. Only regret was I didn't catch a hockey game at Pegula. St. Thomas was playing there...

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    It was meant to make light of melatonin, which is often used as a sleep aid. If that is what you meant, then it is funny. Some games did make one sleepy. https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-melatonin/art-20363071

    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."

    Even if one thinks he's the worst coach ever, he's brought in good, solid student athletes. It's okay to wish someone well whether here or elsewhere.

    Poll: Should Mark Coyle give Ben Johnson a 5th year?

    If that is what we are getting then I am on board. We need someone who will take a wholistic approach. Much like coach Fleck. That and support/ infrastructure. Maybe I am just tired of an endless merry-go-round of coaches and expecting different results.

    Poll: Should Mark Coyle give Ben Johnson a 5th year?

    The point is a coach alone will not significantly elevate this team. At best we'd have a good season followed by a rebuild. We won't get an Izzo, Calipari, etc. Even if the AD could cut the check, they would see that the support just isn't there. Obviously just my opinion.

    Poll: Should Mark Coyle give Ben Johnson a 5th year?

    I would add that the "new" coach will either have to be the kind of coach that can pull in boosters/ investors that will add to the NIL purse, or the program (Athletic Department) will need to somehow figure out a way increase NIL money. If not, we could be looking at starting over every season/...

    Former Gopher Kim Royston named HC at Cretin

    Things have definitely changed. There was a time when both Cretin and St. Thomas Academy could line up over 100 players. Yes some of them were underclassmen who would only see the field in a extreme emergency (injuries), but it was still impressive to see them line up. Especially homecoming...
