    Do we have an offense?

    Ive found if you don’t have a guy that slide on 1 knee and keep dribbling, it doesn’t work as well

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Being the only guy that saw it coming you would have my vote for Gopher fan of the year.

    Six Gophers headed to combine

    I thought Joynerand Lindenberg are guys that their athletic skills didn’t always match their skills and Walley the opposite, but with that 40 time he did himself some big favors.

    Wow - Marcus: Johnson is arguably at a point in his tenure when he might also need for people to be patient with him.

    Lavalle just said on Barrerio, “Ben should be on a little bit of a hot seat heading into next year.” Barrerio doesn’t challenge his friends so he just immediately started talking about the Wolvea. I guess we should be happy that our local media has now taken a kinder gentler more patient...

    Yeah diversity of the font in the resumes might have been what he meant.... Never said it was the primary factor, in fact just the opposite it. It is possible for something to be a factor without it being the only factor.

    Gene Hackman and his wife found dead in their New Mexico home.

    Suicides could have been a possibility but it said a dog died too, so carbon monoxide seems likely.

    Wow - Marcus: Johnson is arguably at a point in his tenure when he might also need for people to be patient with him.

    Alright we can disagree. There are dozens of stories from that time period that discuss race so thinking it was part of the process doesn’t seem that far fetched. But like I have said before I don’t think it was the primary factor or why he is still here. My only point was in the post mortum on...

    Wow - Marcus: Johnson is arguably at a point in his tenure when he might also need for people to be patient with him.

    Oh come one. When someone says that diversity will play a role in the process and candidate pool then I take them at their word. I am simply going by what he said. This is very simple logic. If it didn’t you would say, “our candidates regardless of race, gender, or ethnicity will be based on...

    Wow - Marcus: Johnson is arguably at a point in his tenure when he might also need for people to be patient with him.

    So saying that diversity in the candidate pool isn’t saying that diversity is playing a role in who they are looking at? And this is my problem. I don’t have a problem with those advocating for diversity, but then why afterward saying that it never plays a role? If it had no role in the...

    Wow - Marcus: Johnson is arguably at a point in his tenure when he might also need for people to be patient with him.

    Calling other people right wing bobos pretty much shows that you do indeed have an ideology. And that is fine, we all have opinions. Plus you don’t need to be right wing to question whether the Johnson hire has anything to do with diversity. Hate to keep telling the truth over and over but...

    Wow - Marcus: Johnson is arguably at a point in his tenure when he might also need for people to be patient with him.

    But Coyle made public statements that diversity would be part of the hiring process. Did he ever say that being “one of us” would be part of the process? Some are trying really hard to change history to support their idealogy…

    Wow - Marcus: Johnson is arguably at a point in his tenure when he might also need for people to be patient with him.

    And here in lies the problem. I am more than willing to listen to arguments that race, gender or ethnicity should play a role in hiring decisions. I probably won’t agree but I will listen to an honest argument advocating for even things I don’t believe in. But what has happened isn’t honest...

    Why did the Fuller thread get removed? Scary editorial decisions.

    Wow - Marcus: Johnson is arguably at a point in his tenure when he might also need for people to be patient with him.

    Fuller, for right or wrong, has an obvious agenda when it comes to Gopher sports. His undying support for Ben is part of that crusade. In a perfect world, wins and losses regardless of demographics would matter but sadly it is not what Marcus is primarily concerned with.

    Wow - Marcus: Johnson is arguably at a point in his tenure when he might also need for people to be patient with him.

    Fuller and Lavalle are buddies with Ben. They hang out and I am sure benefit from a few free drinks and meals on their bud. I would hope that this wouldn’t make a difference in their reporting, but let’s be honest, the journalistic integrity boat sailed along time ago.

    Yikes. When you make the Ben Boys mad, they come out swinging. The U’s athletic Department makes money some years and some it doesn’t. If you think that 75% empty arena is covering Bens bucks, I don’t know what to tell you. And if you cite the media dollars, that comes regardless of who is the...

    Ben’s gonna need his fat little buddy Lavalle to write another article to plead for the state to keep paying him a couple million.
