    Georgia Tech QB Zach Pyron Transfers to Minnesota

    I actually like Pyron more than most. Showed some nice flashes at GT behind a good QB in King. Yes I would've preferred a known quantity like Brosmer but I like that we have a PJF guy and now a backup/competition that has at least played at a P4 level.

    A qualifying list of potential replacements

    So you must not know the history here. Kevin Young is from Utah, best friends with billionaire Jazz owner/BYU grad Ryan Smith, and has a personal relationship with Danny Ainge. This wasn't a coaching search, this was Ainge and Smith telling the school, hey we have the money, this is our coach...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    I said this in the other thread but we need to fire him and bring in an established coach as an interim just to stabilize things. Beilein, Monson (I know I know but he's been a long time coach) Jarod haase Stanford coach the last few years. They're are names out there just for a few months...

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

    I didn't say this but to follow up, I meant just for the rest of this year with Beilien. If anything just to make us look respectable on the floor and give us some credibility. I don't want him long term.

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

    I know the odds of this are like 0.000001%. But honestly just put a call into Beilien, I know mid season coaching moves aren't a thing on college but he's sitting on BTN now, maybe we could talk him into a few months and see what happens.

    Alabama AD to reevaluate nonconference slate after CFP picks

    So your thought is to just use recruiting rankings and don't even play the games? If you took away the media/recruiting rankings and put bama's team in Illinois jerseys, there wouldn't be 1 person complaining about this team not being in. And that's the issue.

    Final Field of 12 projection (what I think committee will do & what I would do)

    I also agree with your take, and if they put in Bama over SMU I would absolutely start to get a plan for forfeiting championship games. If you get penalized for losing an extra game by 3 on a 56yd FG then there is 0 reason to risk playing that game ever again.

    The future of championship games is in jeopardy - Yahoo Sports

    I think we just need to keep expanding. Let's make it 128 teams. That way they can play until March 1st then that can roll right into the 256 team basketball tournament! Also with this expanded field we will have auto bids in the final 8 for Bama OSU UGA ND, it's not their fault if they lose...

    How low?

    I am not saying he is 100% the only issue, but CBJ is by far the biggest issue for bball. He's like 95% of the issue. I'm not saying we have stacked programs across the board but football, volleyball, women's bball, mens/women's hockey softball soccer CC are all at least stable to good...

    How low?

    Couldn't agree more. I was a season ticket holder for 4 years during a rough time. I stuck it out, I watched my entire life every game religiously. Tonight I watched 3 college games...and 0 seconds of the Gophers. At this point I'm just waiting for next year, there's nothing to watch here. CBJ...

    CFP Playoff Committee shoehorns in Alabama at the last minute for the second year in a row ... this year with 3 losses...

    This was never a good idea on my book, 12 is/was too many. Make it 8, your top 5 Champs and 3 wild cards. Regular season doesn't really matter. Bama OSU Oregon those teams are just getting in unless they go 500. There is so much bias "who would be favored " great Bama and OSU have more 5* guys...

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I also think this is a good thing to remember. Roster limits likely mean a lot more movement out. Seems likely 20ish guys transfer out.

    Hear me out.

    With the way money works now in sports, I often wonder if teams in pro sports (make no mistake, college sports are now pro sports) even really care about fans/attendance/winning. Sure they will all 100% say it's their only focus and if they had a choice win or lose obviously they pick winning...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS WAKE FOREST 3RD PLACE ESPN EVENTS INVITATIONAL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    March 10th can't get here quick enough. CBJ is the worst hire in school history and it's pathetic the way this team looks. Can't wait to start over.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS WAKE FOREST 3RD PLACE ESPN EVENTS INVITATIONAL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This should be CBJs motto. Sure they suck but we might win, and that is better than playing someone decent! This year can't end fast enough.

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    I think for them that makes sense. Their bball team is the focus, add in other sports they dominate and football is one of those that they want to win big, but if they don't meh that's OK we are great in other sports we will survive.

    What is an acceptable expectation for a Gopher Men’s Basketball Head Coach?

    In a 10 year stretch I'd say: 9/10 make B1G tournament 5/10 make NCAA tournament 2/10 miss but on the bubble Win say 4 ncaa tournament games, make 1-2 finals runs in conf tournament. Schedule better home and home games. Play in respectable MTE in say 6 of 10 years. That essentially means 7...

    Serious conversation

    In football in 2024 it's all about the QB. So your question of, when will it get better? It will happen when/if we hit big on QB. Brosmer is solid, but he isn't winning us games on his own. As we aren't out spending other teams, we need to find that under the radar guy that is way better than...

    Michigan just paid $12 million for their new 5* QB, flips him from LSU

    I agree with the posts saying I'd go after known quantities at QB. Dillon Gabriel, Cam Ward. Rourke, Howard types. Feels way safer. I guess when you have unlimited money it doesn't matter if you swing and miss, you just pay another kid so.
