Besides missing the entire point, which is spending money on something you have no control over as opposed to spending money on anything else that you can have some control over, which is stupid; How do you know whether or not I donate time or money to help others? Maybe I need to send you an...

I enjoy going out to eat or have a drink or watch a show on Netflix or take a vacation. I can pretty much count on any of those things being a reasonably enjoyable experience. I can control the circumstances of each of those things. Change the channel, Order what I want, Pick the spot I want to...

I've always been of the opinion that only an idiot would bet money on something they have zero control over. Unless you can somehow show me how I can control whether Dawson Garcia makes or misses a 3-point shot to win or lose a game, I maintain you have zero control of one or the other...

I admit I was too. But I also assumed that coach was seeing something in practice that we weren't seeing and that maybe things were taking a little longer than usual to click. Seems like we fans see the current snapshot (good, bad or average) and assume that's what the entire movie is going to be.

One of the things I've never understood is the need for so many fans to take an early, quick look at a new player and feel the need to make a pronouncement (especially negative) on that players ability, fit, intangibles, ect. with-out waiting to see if said player improves, adjusts, learns the...

Wonder how many called in to mention how the refs always screw us over, we're normally talented enough to overcome it. It's not just Gopher fans, everybody's fan base is convinced the refs are screwing them over! :)

I honestly love watching a heady, important defensive play when your team needs a stop as much as I enjoy watching a spectacular dunk. I know a lot of people think defensive basketball is boring. If it's strictly a matter of horrible offensive execution, then I guess it can be, but when a team...

Wondering if you've ever heard a coach say "One of the things that really helps our team stay together and work hard every day to get better is the fact that some of our guys refuse to accept their roles on the team. Their pouting about not starting and not being "team first-me second" kind of...

To be honest, one of her bench players is now a starter in place of Braun. Her number 7/8 bench strength (Woodson) is out for the season. That leaves her with a solid 6th and 7th player coming off the bench. She went into the season thinking she had 9; which is a deep bench in D-1 Basketball...

Just saying, that right now, this program IS in a much better spot, with a bright future to boot. Pretty sure that for most of us who were paying attention to the rest of Big Ten, we realized that the Gophers getting to the NCAA tournament this season, even with Braun and Woodson available and...

Are we sure? That guy constantly takes :30 seconds to get to and complete a :10 second thought. I end up listening to him for about 15 minutes on my ride home a few times a week and the most frustrating thing about him is it takes him forever to spit out a thought.

I'm not sure how people don't get this. The back-up QB line was pretty spot on. There is a stated philosophy for the team by a very successful and well-respected coach, who is still in the pretty early stages of gathering all the ingredients for "cooking up a gourmet meal". Oh, by the way...

I might agree in some instances, but I've seen so many kids and pro's go from very shaky shooters to very good/reliable shooters through hard work. Also seen plenty of kids who looked like great shooters, until they hit a certain level of defense being played against them. Currently watching a...

For older fans, now. Been around 21 year old college players for 35 years or so. It never gets mental to them. They have no concept or real concern for what happened before they arrived. They move on faster and better than any of us can believe. At that age, tomorrow is a another day where...

Just saying that any of us who were not at yesterdays practice and the morning shoot-around, probably don't know much about the defensive game plan, specific defensive assignments and specific rotations when this or that happens. Yes, everybody misses defensive assignments, but the people...

Ranked teams can generally take a couple of your offensive weapons away. As for Coach P not putting Johnson in yet, pretty sure we know the reason. Once had a coach tell me, "I know he scores 18 a game, but he gives up 21! I play him, we lose, until he shows that he can get a stop when we...

Good to see we're hanging in there after a half!

I've literally asked the question about when a shooter should not shoot to so many coaches, announcers, and players and the answer is always--"Never". If that's your role, you have a wide open look and feel in rhythm, don't hesitate, take the shot. Doesn't matter if you're 6 for 7 or 1 for...

I can see you're not an analytics nerd. Thought it might be fun for one of those guys to do a deep dive into the numbers to determine which one should be let go "First". Be sure to show your work kids! :)

Alright all you analytic nerds. Any of you have the time to tally up and compare all the Anti-coach posts on the Iowa board as compared to the Minnesota board since the first of the year? Thinking that the coach with the most negative posts should be the first one fired, right? Maybe break it...
