This is cool, but that’s not the Rodney Smith who played for the Gophs. Totally different person.

I’m less optimistic about this game just because they have two first-round WRs and I think DB is the weakest part of our team. Hopefully their new QB has some jitters.

Watched the first few minutes of his highlight tape and he didn’t catch any passes. All blocking and defense.

Surprised that WCCO decided to run it as there is such little substance, and nothing that sets Fleck / the U apart. I don’t know how much of a difference it makes, but there is a zero percent chance Madison, Lincoln or IC media would ever run a story like this. It’s like they actively want a...

Enjoyed the content, but those dudes have negative chemistry.

Content with Tanner as QB1, but I think this offense becomes a lot more dangerous with a QB who pulls and runs from time to time like Zach (and Athan). Otherwise happy with the D-line and LB play. I think we’ll be a lot better there this year. Please god get us the new kickers ASAP.

Pretty discouraging news on what has been a tumultuous start to an underwhelming hire. Obviously too early to panic, but it’s concerning that Coach Johnson hasn’t filled his staff—let alone his roster—over a month into the job. It points to a lack of a coherent plan, which was my major concern...

We’ll see who actually ends up transferring, but it’s a concerning start for Coach. I also think his first two years are particularly crucial given his lack of experience and need to sell recruits on a vision, so he needs to hire a staff and solidify things ASAP.

Very, very, very underwhelming hire based on the other names being thrown around. Even if he is a good recruiter, which seems questionable based on how the UMN and Xavier teams he coached performed, is there any indication he can actually coach? Nowhere he’s been has had success seems like...

Man oh man do I miss a rocking Mariucci arena. Been a graveyard of late. Hopefully we get to see some crowds like that again soon.

Seems like at a minimum he’d be a Jerry Kill type hire that stabilizes the program. Also probably relatively light on the purse strings.

On the bright side at least nobody in the media etc., can complain when Pitino is fired now.

Yup. Totally agree. Was thinking the benefit would be to get the player’s on board, but who beyond Mashburn is worth the effort? This roster next year is gonna be an absolute train wreck.

I feel like I watch this game once a year. Holy shit it’s time to old yeller the Pitino era.

A large part of the equation for Coyle is (1) fan interest in the program and (2) future outlook for the team. Both of those are headed in the wrong direction and will not change regardless of how the season ends (barring some miracle run). In a lot of ways, it mirrors the end of the Tubby era...

I certainly can’t (and didn’t) say anything with absolute certainly. But it is my biggest concern and for good reason. While I share your optimism on the young recruits, the basis for my statement is that last year DB play was really bad, and our backups were Swenson and Howard — none of last...

My biggest concern continues to be the CB outside of Durr and both safety positions. Howard and Nubin both struggled mightily last year and we haven’t recruited well behind them.

Most of the threes we are taking aren’t even bad shots, this team just simply cannot shoot.

Last two minutes were a microcosm of the Pitino era. Opportunities to win, but a combo of inept late game coaching combined with selfish and low IQ bball leads to a loss. We’ve given Pitino more than a fair shot and he just can’t get it done. Also, I’ve always respected Pitino for sticking w...

Good to know in these chaotic times that the constant of a February meltdown by Gopher hoops remains.
