Two unpopular opinions that I have regarding coaches in the Minnesota world: 1) Tim Brewster doesn't get nearly enough credit for what he did in building relationships with Minnesota High Schools. Yes, he was a poor head coach in a lot of categories, but the Gophers were in rough shape with a...

KG is an intense dude. One of my all-time favorite players. He is definitely a loyal guy and has embraced the community.

I bet she would recruit better than Niko would here for the men's program.... That is not a slam to Niko...

It is hard to beat Laurence Maroney... I think he might be my all-time favorite Gopher. Mo Ibrahim is my second favorite...

There's that...

How is this even possible?

Only thing I would say... he isn't facing the quality of talent/depth night in and night out. Also, I used to coach high school football. We had a season where we were 0-8 and had another season where we were 9-2. That was my best and worst season and I can't honestly say I coached better one...

I think if you drop the floor you might as well blow the thing up. There are two things that make Williams Arena "cool" and the raised floor is one of them, the barn design is the other. I would assume even those that think the arena is the reason we don't win would like part of those...

I have never been more wrong with a person that I was with Richard Pitino. When we hired him, I knew nothing about him, and assumed that he was a spoiled, given everything, arrogant guy who was riding his dad's coat tails. He was modest, funny, embraced the culture, and throughly enjoyed his...

I said both are easy but my real answer is both are equally difficult/easy. Mathematically, way less college basketball teams make the tournament but in a lot of the conferences only one team is getting in. Realistically, if you finish in the middle of the Big Ten in basketball or football you...

That is why I said one of the three reasons I believe he was hired was that he was from Minnesota and to go along with that is connections he was believed to have had.

Without getting political, I feel Ben Johnson was hired for three reasons - I am not sure the order of them, but guessing he wasn't a hot candidate for any other Big Ten school. 1) He was from Minnesota 2) He was cheap 3) He is black Where Minnesota was at the time of the hiring I don't think...

They will not grant appeals for being the smallest school in a certain class - you have to have an extenuating circumstance.

There are a lot: Voshon Leonard, Bobby Jackson, John Thomas, Sam Jacobson, Quincy Lewis, Dusty Rychart, Andre Hollins, Lawrence Westbrook, Daniel Oturu, and Jordan Murphy are notables.

I am a little torn because I like Ben, the team generally played better as the year went on, and he seemed like a guy that is easy to cheer for. With that being said, not sure how anyone can be mad they fired him. It just didn't work out...

Look at post #244. He had an example of a 24 team conference where you would play every team in the conference home and away in a six year period and play everyone in your regional grouping every year. Part of what makes college football fun is playing your regional rivals - Wisconsin, Iowa...

I agree and disagree with you. To me, the tweet by itself is very racist. Once context was explained, not from him, it wasn't racist at all. Like I mentioned a couple of posts ago, a simple follow up of what song was playing. I would guess if you took a random poll more people would think '...

After reading all of the replies, here is my thoughts: 1) The original tweet, without context, is extremely racist. I would assume it is widely known that the term 'monkey' can be used as a racist term. Think of the movie Remember the Titans when Denzel gave the white coach a banana because the...

Not a good look by the old man. https://x.com/patrick_reusse/status/1898145240181080261?s=46
