    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Well most of us didn't see it so there is that.

    What is Coyle's, "keep Ben, win tally?"

    The bar is unfortunately probably less than most of us want. I'm guessing 8 wins and we roll it back again.

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

    This is where I'm at also. My interest level in college basketball in general and Gophers basketball in particular is to a large degree centered around the tournament. Making the tournament. Following the projections. Watching the seeding. Seeing the bracket. Dreaming of a run to the Sweet...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT IOWA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Definitely one of the more impressive wins by Johnson during his tenure. The Gophers definitely controlled the tempo throughout and only looked rattled once or twice. Iowa has never been able to defend anybody but can usually score in high volume. The Gophers made it really tough on them...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT IOWA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Normally I would agree with you, but I'm not sure you want to try to run with Iowa. Pace has been good so far for the Gophers.

    If Gophers Get to 5 Conference Wins, Making Big Ten Tournament Not Out of the Question?

    I don't disagree with either of you here. I don't have a number in mind that would save him either. Although I'm guessing that number is lower than most of us think. But you are right Dave that they wouldn't come out publicly and say anything. It's interesting to me there is so little...

    If Gophers Get to 5 Conference Wins, Making Big Ten Tournament Not Out of the Question?

    I think most posters agree that it "shouldn't be" good enough to consider a 5th season. But do we really have any indication that it won't be? I share the concerns of others on this message board that we really don't know if there is any appetite to get rid of him from the people that matter...

    If Gophers Get to 5 Conference Wins, Making Big Ten Tournament Not Out of the Question?

    Who is the biggest conference surprise and biggest disappointment so far this B1G season in your eyes @SelectionSunday?

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I don't disagree with anything you say here in this post. Your description of the 2015-2016 team is accurate. I'd add the atmosphere in the fanbase and towards the coach was pretty toxic at the time particularly after losing non-conference games against the North/South Dakota schools. It's...

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Kind of an odd argument you are trying to pick here. If you replace Joey King with Dawson Garcia in your second sentence it accurately describes this year's team. Joey King's own words during that interview after the game were about the lack of wins that year but how he guaranteed this would...

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    It's amazing how sports fandom is so fickle and reactionary. Had one possession gone differently at the end of the game, the board would be lit up again with "Fire Johnson" posts. Now we are probably two more wins away from the "Ben Johnson is Not a Disaster" thread getting some more traction...

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

    What type of odds do you have to give for the Gophers to NOT appear on this list at any point throughout the rest of the regular season?

    Ben vs. Ranked Teams

    This feels like a worse match-up than most with that frontcourt?

    Ben Johnson on Gophers’ 0-6 Big Ten start: ‘Nobody puts more pressure on myself than me’

    There is almost nothing he can say at this point that won't elicit an eye roll at best to anger at worst as the losses continue to mount and the majority of the fan base wants to move on. Most of the time he says what he "should" in his lower expectations bias. In that sense, I actually feel a...

    Line on Maryland vs MN

    Is this the real USAF or is somebody posting under his moniker?

    Shooter: Alumni and assorted boosters are pushing Ryan Saunders, the ex-Gopher who is an assistant for the Denver Nuggets, for the Gophers head job.

    I would too. They need to find a proven commodity this time around from a mid-major and/or hire a lead assistant from a very successful program (i.e. Micah Shrewsberry at Purdue). It would be very difficult to get a Musselman type hire to this dumpster fire right now. In my view, this...

    Player-Coach

    You might end up being right, but what's the point? Obviously the player-coach is not happening and I'm not sure there is anybody associated with the program today that would make a difference or he would be doing so already. Last February most on this site felt Johnson had done enough in...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    I guess I could hop on board and make some easy money. The USAF plan.
