Couldn't crack page three on the Morgan State game day thread. Can we crack page three against Purdue?

You are definitely correct on the level of interest in this team. There has never been a time when fan apathy was close to the level it is now. Even the game day threads are whittling away on this site. I do think turning around a program is easier now than it would have been post Clem...

I don't necessarily disagree with you. But put aside whatever your belief is in regards to the legitimacy or non-legitimacy of the "scandal'" If ending the tenure of the most successful coach the basketball program has ever seen and starting the program down the trajectory it is today doesn't...

At first I thought this might be hyperbolic, but other than the rape and academic scandals.....what else compares?

I don't think this team is as historically bad as some on here suggest (candidate for going winless or one win). Barring injuries to Garcia/Mitchell, they will still win a handful of games in conference. My fear is they win enough to disguise the fact this regime has been a failure and try to...

(n) Well maybe that's good for the soul.

How long is the OTB time-out in effect @stocker08?

I hope this is the case but I'm not sure I believe it. Nobody cares more about "local ties" than this fan base and I'm not sure why. Do we think recruits care about "local ties"? Does it energize the fan base to have "local ties"? The current situation wouldn't support either conclusion...

I like the idea in theory, but why would an established coach like Beilein or Monson want to do that?

I think the Gophers cover tonight but won't win.

You are actually making the case for getting rid of him with your first statement. At some point, we probably need to acknowledge the reality of the circumstances. One of two things is probably true.... a) we really haven't had much B1G caliber talent during the Ben Johnson era. That isn't...

Sadly, I'm not sure enough people would even care enough to check. But, you are right. The thought of having a Michigan State game not being close to a sell out 10/15 years ago? Apathy is the worst in a program.

Now that we have seen the majority of the non-conference portion of the schedule, how many wins do you think the Gophers will have during the regular season BIG stretch of games?

That doesn't make sense SelectionSunday. I was told by Pilgrim that a team's success is directly correlated to their NIL budget. :confused:

Well, I appreciate the effort.

If the length of this game day thread is any indication, at least nobody will see it.

Before he was hired is the correct answer to the question. But it makes no sense to get rid of him this early in the season. I don't believe it gets you any competitive advantage in hiring the next coach. Big time athletic programs that make a coaching change always state they will "do a...

I agree with this sentiment. The delusional viewpoints of "brick by brick", "doing it the right way", and "if we only locked down the border" should be clear to anybody now. The new free agency and NIL environment has changed the landscape dramatically. I'm hoping they don't finish the season...

It's pretty easy to make the argument that unrestricted movement and NIL are the right thing to do for college athletes given how much money they bring into the universities, etc. But my interest in college athletics and basketball in particular has never been lower as a result. With...

I've been to three different places in the Caribbean and loved them all. St. Lucia is an absolutely stunning island (mountainous/rain forests/great resorts). It's not as famous for its beaches but we went on a number of great tours. Snorkeling/waterfalls/volcanic mud baths/ziplines. St...
