    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS NEW MEXICO RATE BOWL, LONGEST BOWL WINNING STREAK IN BT HISTORY IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    There’s talent with this group but it’s been clear all season that these guys aren’t well coached. Whether that’s technique or game planning, this is a poorly run operation.

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

    Would be a good game to run some offense for Kai to see if you got a bench scorer there

    Yeah, looking at how things shook out with the Wolves and even selling the team well under value really makes you wonder. There’s obviously a lot of hard work and skill (strategy, communications, financial management, adaptability and so on) in business but probably just as much luck and a...

    Glen Taylor accomplished exactly what he set out to do with the Strib and as a result, he’s run it into the ground. Billionaires have been buying up media outlets for years and pushing them in a direction that’s suitable to them and their political beliefs. Rupert Murdoch is a fun case study...

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

    I’m just not sure who you make interim from this current staff. 2026 would be a lost season regardless as PJ leaving would come with a mass exodus but it would definitely be interesting. Somebody is getting screwed big time by the Michigan hire unless they go interim, hope it’s not us.

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

    I doubt it'll happen but it would be interesting to know who would be on Coyle's list if Fleck were to get the Michigan offer. Nick Rallis would probably be up there I would think. Probably would go the coordinator route as there's not a great deal of appealing options at this point in the cycle.

    Taison Chatman

    For one, it’s going to be a collective effort replacing Tyson. There’s just not a scenario where it’s one in and one out, smooth sailing. The injuries are definitely reason for pause on Chatman but I do think he’s a much better player than he’s been allowed to show at OSU.

    Taison Chatman

    A bucket getter isn’t necessarily someone who hunts their shot. I think similar to Chatman, Tyson is a bucket getter but he does so in the flow of the offense. What I think separates someone like Taison is his tremendous feel for the game, which is where I think calling him a combo guard makes...

    Taison Chatman

    He’s had back to back DNP-CDs after getting brought in against Pitt and committing three fouls in less than a minute which is quite an accomplishment. Saw he tore up his knee in a summer workout that cost him his second season, could still be struggling with that. I wouldn’t be surprised if...

    Woo hoo! What a win, what a shocker lol. We’re top of the conference!

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS STANFORD THANKSGIVING TOURNAMENT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    The injuries have been a killer but as others have mentioned, guard play is going to carry you particularly in a system like this and we have parts that are just not at the level, Willis in particular has been really disappointing. While Durkin is going to be Waldo on defense all season, it was...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS STANFORD THANKSGIVING TOURNAMENT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    A great stretch of defense in the last 5-6 minutes, just gotta get on the glass. Some good minutes out of Reynolds, offense getting into more of a flow.

    Willis picking up his second may be a blessing in disguise with the way he’s started this one.

    If Taylor is ready for the Ducks, do we play him or do we save him for "winnable" games?

    You’re paying him how much? He needs to play as many games as possible.

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

    Pretty steep talent gap which I feared. Its still very early in the season and guys will grow into their roles, think the next two games are key heading into a tricky one against San Francisco, need to find some secondary scoring from somewhere. I'm still hopeful on Willis as a slasher/creator...

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

    Going better than I thought, Mizzou throwing that zone at us really got the offense out of rhythm but encouraged by how we’ve been rebounding as a team, bodes well moving forward. Need more from Willis as a creator in the second half, gonna need Tyson to get hot to pull this one out.

    It helps a lot that they have a football coach instead of a life coach.

    CHARLIE JILEK Flips

    Meh, they’ve been very good at pumping guys into the NFL annually so class ranking kinda feels irrelevant. While the talent level could and needs to go up (this current class and last year’s are steps in the right direction) to breakthrough into the playoff, I actually think the approach on game...

    Oregon Ducks Head Coach Dan Lanning speaks on Charlie Kirk and America’s Current State

    The way this has been forced into the sports world has been really weird. Can’t say I care about what a football coach thinks of the current state of the country.

    Fleck Postgame: “Everything that possibly could go wrong, went wrong. That falls on the head football coach”

    When Fleck says “it falls on me” it really does feel empty doesn’t it? I think a lot of us like the direction the program is heading from a development and overall talent standpoint but games like last night are the type where you wonder whether Fleck can really graduate from being a 7-8 win...
