This is embarrassing.

I should have started a hedge fund 15 years ago where all we do is take the under in Nebraska win totals. I would be the Wizard of Wall Street.

I gotta agree. At least being in the Big 10 tourney gives that little glimmer that there is a chance for a miracle run. I know it is the most minute of possibilities but it is still somewhat fun to fantasize about a 5 day run. I remember that Georgia did it one year and maybe Iowa?

They really brought in real dead gophers?!?

Unfortunately, most of what used to be the Gopher fanbase has taken your advice and now ignores Gopher basketball. Howeda might have numerous posts expressing his frustration with the losing but telling any of the less than a few thousand fans that still care about the men’s program that we...

I'll agree with you there. I don't think it was the biggest factor in his hire and probably even a smaller factor in his being retained. There was a lot of attention on the program and the universities overall coaching diversity at the time of the hire (a simple Google search returns dozens of...

This is the theory I subscribe most to. I think they don't really care very much and it makes their job easier in that it doesn't take much time to cover a team on one cares abouts. More time to write about Kevin O'Connell's favorite color.

Some want to see it as the lone issue because of personal beliefs, but it is impossible to deny that you refuse to believe it plays any factor because of your personal beliefs. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Damn. This had a chance of being a really good thread.

It is interesting alternating between this and the football board where we are making fun of the Badgers for extending Fickell.

Interesting how his family asked about how many of the recruits coming would be transfers. It is going to be an increasingly important question for high school recruits.

To be fair there are annoying posters on both sides of this. I am not sure why either side thinks the Ben Johnson hill is the hill to die on, but I guess the arguing makes for something to talk about.🤷‍♂️

I know it does fit your spiel but I don’t think there was many if any people that have not wanted this work. Yea there is definitely different camps in terms of how quickly some realized this just wasn’t going to work. Also I think some inherently never liked the idea that there were factors...

I don’t know if that is why they went after the Wayzata players but even it were, the lack of a hand shake line is hardly justification for hundreds of students to follow 12 guys off the floor. Lucky that it didn’t escalate.

Well sure, but I can think of guys from a lot of colleges that I wish the Vikes had.

Sorry, I should have not meant that you were one way or another. From what I heard they left without shaking hands because the crowd was getting nasty. Best to get out of there in a hurry which may have been the different between a bad situation and a horrible situation.

The Hopkins students chase Wayzata players off the floor and a list of reasons why it Wayzata’s fault. Yeah Doogie is the biased one here. Good Lord.

I always root for Gophers to make it in the NFL but it needs to be tempered with some realism. By count this board has 5 or 6 guys getting drafted? Considering that arguably our best 2 players from last year aren’t in the draft, it seems unlikely that a 7-5 Gopher team was packed with NFL players.

Wrong board.

You are both annoying. Now take it to the other board you two.
