Joshua Ola-Joseph was the story of the second half to me. Robbie Hummel correctly pointed out how ridiculous it was that he only had 4 offensive rebounds all year after he skied over everybody for one in the 2nd half. Carrington did a good job on Tominaga(sp) and Payne had a couple key baskets...

This was a huge missed opportunity in the Pitino era. When you've been in the chair for 4 years and you are somehow just getting your first big ranked vs ranked home game...you really need to win it. Things went South quickly (and probably would have anyway given we now know that Coyle/Pitino...

What did Doogie say? This Weber comment is kind of brutal for Ben. Coaches always stand up for other guys in the profession and Weber decided to talk about him as a person as opposed to him as a basketball coach. The part about a "brand" is enlightening. Ben doesn't seem to know what he...

I think most of us expected a loss. Another wire to wire B1G loss where we clearly weren't competitive is disheartening though. Bleed pointed out Ben is 2-23 in his last 25 conference games, but we also have to have spent an inordinate amount of game time in his tenure down double digits. This...

Gophers need this game. Things are obviously really ugly right now, but a loss to Nebraska at home to start the B1G 0-2 and I think you have to really start worrying about kids quitting. A loss to Nebraska on December 6 and then we don't play another real team until visiting Michigan on...

I was rooting for Hawaii late last Saturday, but this seems like a case of be careful what you wish for. Since that time, we've lost both our returning scholarship QB's as well as Evans at RB. Kramer at QB and Nubin at RB feels kind of pointless to me and a loss to a MAC team, but especially...

I can't tell if Brosmer will be a good power 5 QB or not, I hope he will be. What I do think is interesting is one of two things almost has to be true with regards to the Gophers recruiting Max. Either the staff looked at film of Max immediately after he entered the portal (or was looking at...

Maybe the wrong place for this, but has anybody heard rumors of who else might be leaving? There's been Darius Taylor steam as far back as midseason on social media, but nothing really here. I'd say losing any of the following would fall in to the absolute disaster category: Daniel Jackson...

I was actually thinking more about the CSU media asking him as this could shape up to be like their best season in program history. I am probably over thinking it, was just trying to present a case why it may be a better idea to wait. I am not sure if I'd prefer moving on in January/February...

I am not sure anyone is consistently good at QB evaluation. The blue blood schools sometimes get in bad position at QB and they have like 3-4 former top 20 recruits at the position to choose from. I am disappointed with all the eggs being put in Athan's basket...not taking a QB in the class...

Colton beat Ersery for a sack (or two) in the Spring game. Didn't think that was a great sign for this season at the time.

I thought Athan would stick around and compete with whoever we brought in from the portal. I can't imagine him finding an unquestioned starting spot in the portal unless he's willing to drop to very low FBS or an FCS school. It's just shocking that the guy who won in Madison last year is at...

I guess this one doesn't surpise me because we started a walk on in Nubin over him and went back to Tyler when Nubin needed a breather. This season started out Tyler/Williams/Taylor/Evans/Nubin and then probably morphed in to Taylor/Evans/Williams/Nubin/Tyler by the end of the year. This...

One thing about a midseason termination is it may limit your candidate pool in a way. Let's say Niko Medved has a great season at CSU where they are ranked in the top 25 all season. Johnson is fired in February. CSU is having their best season in history and Niko starts getting asked over and...

Couldn't we ask this question about Minnesota for decades? It just dawned on me the other day that I am now in the age range that my Dad and Uncles stopped having any interest in Gopher sports. They were around for a National Title in football and one of my Uncles was a few years ahead of...

"So putting everything into perspective I know it's going to be hard but let's keep a positive mindset that while this year was a set back, better things are coming, brighter days are ahead. Heck even the Timberwolves might finally have turned a corner. With this coming change to everything that...

I am not sure if I am more angry or sad about the state of the program. I was shocked when Ben Johnson was hired. I can't think of a hire in any sport where I immediately said "no chance" this will work aside from Ben Johnson. After putting up with Pitino for 8 years, at bargain basement...

This was almost a carbon copy of the Minnesota/Illinois game. Hawaii had a 2nd and 3 with 2 minutes and change at like the CSU 27, they fail to convert on 2nd and 3rd down and then get their 45 yard FG blocked. CSU now had the ball down 24-16 with 2:20 left or so and no timeouts. Hawaii, gets...

It was refreshing to read the quotes from the fans Chip talked to. It seems like all 4 think/believe we shouldn't settle for simply marginaly better than we have been under Kill, Mason, etc and actually compare ourselves to other B1G programs. Fleck deserves a lot of credit for getting the...

We changed nothing after an awful 2020 season because we blamed it on COVID After a 2021 season where we pissed away a notable year by losing to Bowling Green and Illinois our response was to "bring the gang back together" Hire Ciarocca back and SIXTH years for Morgan, Mo, and others. That...
