    Neal: Moving forward with Ben Johnson is the only option for Gophers men’s basketball

    How will we know which ones of us are the "local idiots"? That seems not only a subjective metric, but also extremely non specific! Local? Is there a mileage range one must live within? Idiots? Is it necessary to have them in multiples? How about IQ? Do you have a numerical level in mind? To...

    Neal: Moving forward with Ben Johnson is the only option for Gophers men’s basketball

    Agree. I am continually surprised by the empty seats all over the country. At Purdue last night the guy with the sledgehammer would have had a hard time finding anyone in arms length to injure. As for the coaching situation. MN has been a graveyard for BB coaches for years. And that was before...

    Thanks. Is there a breakdown by sport?

    NIL info

    Thank you. That was exactly the point of this post. There is no known compilation for amounts anywhere. But most on GH post as if that data exists!

    NIL info

    To put some meat on the NIL bone, would anyone care to post factual information on the amounts of NIL money that BIG 18 basketball teams, or other P5 schools have to spend per season. Not any "I heard that" stuff, but verified facts. Maybe someone has this information, but if they do I haven’t...

    Ben Johnson and the boys are kicking ass- who would have thunk it??

    You do realize that one of the only time one gets carried away is the last time one gets carried away!😳

    Neal: Moving forward with Ben Johnson is the only option for Gophers men’s basketball

    I, and I imagine others, wish that one day you would just sit down and tell us what you REALLY think of Johnson? Let it all out, nothing held back, no filter. Just let er flow!

    Transfer Portal

    I dont know whether these wins will prove productive, or whether Ben will be back or not, but it sure is enjoyable seeing the FBJ crowd gnashing their teeth! 😱

    McKenna Johnson's Playing Time

    The ladies looked slow today? I wasn’t that impressed with Oregon overall, but we didn’t take advantage of a team we could have beaten, this waiting until there are 5 minutes left in the game to turn it on is frustrating. This may have been the most aggravating game of the year?

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Condescending? Maybe tongue in cheek? But not any worse than a poster above who wanted Ben fired NOW so there was no danger of the team winnnig enough games for him to keep his job. Funny if he is such a terrible coach, that should be the least of his worries.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Ok,this is post #716 of the FBJ marathon. It’s time to come up with an answer. But how? I propose a game between the Johnson coached Gophers and a team coached by someone who is a long time, experienced coach highly regarded in the profession. Someone who is a wet dream of all the Ben must go...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Then I must be that genius, since I mentioned that in the post?

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Speaking of NIL, today Michael Rand said that the Gophers are at 7m, 12th in the Big Something or Another. Ohio State, was #1 with 20m, and Michigan and Michigan State were up in that bracket. During the football season I saw several references to Ohio States 20m team. Those reference implied...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    First you questioned whether a "five star" player could be coached up by the Gopher staff? Then you say that the only thing close to that kind of talent we had improved? Then you question Paynes development course, which I disagree with, as apparently did Texas A&M. Either that or they...

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

    I doubt anything would have helped, but the lack of aggression by Garcia and Asuma tonight didn’t do us any good. Asuma, ONE what attempt in 25? Minutes?

    Fire Ben Johnson

    The continuing emphasis on DEI is starting to make some of the posters in here sound just a tad racist? That said, there are two factors here that impact the Gophers record, or for that matter any coaches record. One is the ability to coach. Anyone who watched last nights game would have to have...

    Reusse: Unlike the Gophers’ coaching situation, the solution for Williams Arena is simple: Blow up The Barn

    The Barn is fine if they win. The question is does the Barn affect recruiting? If it does then the Barn has to go. If you can’t lure players here, then the size of the building is moot. And if the building does depress recruiting then it doesn’t make any difference who the coach is. I like...

    B1G Game 12: Gophers host Iowa (2-6-25)

    Whether the refs were bad or not, they were very inconsistent over the game. Called nothing to start the game, then went thru a streak of over officiating, then slacked off. It was sort of hard to keep up with. I did think McKinney was the victim of some calls and non calls. Sometimes that...
