    Death, taxes and Gonzaga beating St Mary’s for the WCC championship. The Gaels did not impress me tonight.

    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."

    Just a subtle reminder from Ben’s personal PR team for those who were unaware: Ben is Black. Fire him at your peril.

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

    Plus, Crean’s brothers-in-law are Jim and John Harbaugh, so maybe he would bring Jim in for some of that patented weirdness (and winning). Our program could probably use both.

    When the Ivies are cutting their losses and we’re still clinging to ours…not sure what else needs to be said.

    Herb Brooks isn't walking through that door (sadly).

    Weakling Wednesday Final Weekend: Iowa @ Nebraska for the Final "Chair and a Chance"

    In addition to the not insignificant NIL delta we'd have to address, Wade's a Southern guy and I'm guessing living in the great white North wouldn't be high on his list, especially if he has good P4 offers to stay in Dixie.

    Shama on Gopher season tickets: “ Next fall that total could be under 4,000.”

    Bringing Johnson back for year 5 will crater what minuscule interest remains in this program. It would be an egregious dereliction of Coyle’s duty to put Gophers athletics on the strongest possible footing competitively and financially.

    Don't show this to Seth Davis. It runs contrary to his conclusions about the elite coaching job being done by the genius that is Ben Johnson.

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

    If he mismanages one of his major revenue sports into the dirt because of 10 years of inaction and bad judgment (5 years at the back end of Pitino--yes, I know he didn't hire him, and 5 of Johnson), then he absolutely should be measured in part on that. It's not like he has football, hockey or...
