and missed 2 goal tending calls.

Mara Braun from the women's team is shooting over 94%. Payne needs to go get some coaching from her. If I was Ben, Payne would have shot 200-300 FT's per day since the last game.

No, but how about some end arounds and maybe some wildcat? We could use some creativity.

In the fall, I hope we are talking about how Fleck uses mutiple RB's on each possession. Hmm, where did I get that idea? Maybe Michigan's first drive of the natty game where they used three different RB's. Obviously Corum got the majority over the whole game. I wish we would do that. DT can...

Well, Well the 10th place team in the BIG last year was 10-10 in conference so I will say last year.

We do? By what metric? Please make your case. I'm not disagreeing. I just want to know the data you are using.

Just a reminder that ONE BIG team won 13 or more regular seasons games last year. Also, 10 of 14 teams were .500 or better in conf. I'm betting more of a spread this season. We'll see.

On face value, a loss to Mizzou does not look too bad. Most fans agree that they are generally OK with losing to the teams we are supposed to lose to and win the games we are supposed to win. IE team meets expectations. Now let's talk about HOW we lost that game. 20-point lead with 11 to go...

^Umm, what???

One thing is true. Two things can be true. The first thing: Ben is absolutely the worst hire the gophers have ever made (up to this point). That WILL NEVER change in my mind. #2: Ben could go down as the best coach the gophers have ever had. I have personally seen people get hired for...

I do not feel sorry for the 40% (give or take) that enter the portal each year and are not on a NCAA roster in the fall. Maturity? For the 5*'s? Yes. Most others? Get your stinking degree and hopefully play a little football.

We cooled on him

And that is why Spaulding is still on my ignore list

I can't stand people who apologize for the everlasting crappy product MN sports put out each and every year. I enjoy the wins and want more. I will praise Ben and any/all MN sports teams that do well and are trying. On the other hand, I will point out their short comings trying to use facts...

Currently the worst. But trending up. FACTS

Cannot disagree with any of this^. "Getting better?" Yes, in some areas. Roster construction? Better. Scheduling? Nope. But it depends on what he is trying to accomplish. That non conf schedule WILL NOT get you a post season invite UNLESS he can somehow go 12-8 or better in conf plus win...

Concur with all of that^^. Winning A game or even a decent start to this season doesn't change my mind that Ben is a disaster. The good news is there is nowhere to go but up. His stock IS rising. Hopefully he is finally figuring it out with recruiting/roster construction and also in game...

Concur with this. I was with Chip and Adam Kelly in 84. Coaches worked with us on placement, high punts for hang time, etc... but not on actually kicking/punting. If you were a D1 punter/kicker you need to already know how to kick/punt the ball. Different for QB's.

Watched the George Gervin documentary yesterday. Interesting connection to MN and this story. Gervin played for Dutcher at EMU and knocked a guy out in a game. Dutcher suspended him. Ice Man played in the ABA which had a focus on entertainment just like the Gophers of the 70's. Loved the...

The issue is the bolded players above will total aprox 40-50 minutes per game. Need those 3 to shoot better from the line. Currently those 3 combined avg 40.1 min/game
