    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS UCLA SWEET 16 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Encouraging first half, I think we generally looked good. But if we want to pull this out, we really need to not turn it over.

    BREAKING: Coyle Hires Brett Larson as New Gophers Coach

    So of the four coaches put forward as his good hires, we include the coach who was just let go for poor replacement, his replacement (who has a less impressive resume than the guy we just let go), and a coach who has not qualified for a single NCAA tournament (im optimistic about Medved, but he...

    RandBall: Are the Gophers hockey jobs as good as fans think?

    +1 He's got a pretty unique opportunity at Augustana. If he really puts Augustana on the hockey map, he'd be a legend in that programs history. If he is even moderately successful, he can have a long leash and serve a long tenure, which would still make him a notable figure for Augustana. If...

    Coyle needs to go

    Im optimistic about Medved, but pretty rich to anoint him as better than any coach who has made the tourney before I have a chance to pick one his gopher teams in my bracket.

    Future Gopher Coach Discussion

    In fairness, if that is how Coyle is operating, he's become more savvy since he announced the Whalen firing. He's improving!

    Buffs - Coach Prime

    Weren't IU's Johnnies and Joe's ranked more comparable to ours than the teams they were beating in the CFP?

    RandBall discusses Coyle model "He would rather make a decision a year too early than a year too late" writes "How has Fleck survived in this model?"

    In fairness to Coyle, invisibility is still a better look than his press conference debacle when he fired Whalen. Nice to have an AD who is embarrassingly absent, but also so ineloquent that his absence is better than the alternative.

    RandBall discusses Coyle model "He would rather make a decision a year too early than a year too late" writes "How has Fleck survived in this model?"

    Frost had the Gardenhire problem. A modest level of sustained success paired with a feeling of stagnation that had fans feeling like we were never going to get over the hump (the big difference is Frost has been to the top of the mountain, and I think I weigh that more heavily than many on...

    Targeting Rule Change

    I dont think it should be a penalty at all if a defender is coming in low and leading with the shoulder and the ball carrier/receiver drops his head or stumbles head first into the hit. A penalty should exist to either deter deliberate (or at least careless) wrongful conduct or to compensate a...

    What grade would you give the Bob Motzko Era at Minnesota?

    Went with a B. Won't give an A to a tenure that doesn't win a national championship at the U for hockey. Seems like he did everything but that. Multiple frozen fours, conference championships, and a conference tourney title. Very good run that fell short of the mountain top.

    Describe the Gophers basketball season in 1 sentence

    Encouraging signs and reasonably pleased by the new coach's performance in his first year, but ive fallen for fools gold too often to be satisfied with a season where the biggest positive is "reasons the future looks bright "

    Multiple media outlets list Mark Coyle as a candidate to replace Mitch Barnhart who is retiring as Kentucky AD

    If Coyle gives a press conference to announce he is leaving for the Kentucky job, the press conference will end and we will think he told us he is the new Duke lacrosse coach.

    STrib: Could the Gophers find a way to duplicate Indiana’s football success?

    You're right, thats its. That's why Indiana had the number one ranked recruiting class for both freshman and transfers, and once everyone got a look at the roster they bought, the Hoosiers started last season as the heavy betting favorites to win the CFP. That's what happened, right?

    The Mountain West is in serious dialogue to add FCS powerhouse North Dakota State as a football-only member starting this coming season

    It will be a reality shock for Bison fans who wont be able to delude themselves into thinking they could have won the CFP if they werent in FCS.

    Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in NFL Draft Cost Him $44 Million

    If we considered everyone who would have been picked if they weren't going to the super bowl, and everyone who was invited and declined, as "pro bowlers", what percentage of the leagues starters would be pro bowlers?

    Curt Cignetti

    Did the previous poster really need to specify that intramural Greek league football or whatever level NDSU plays at isn't what he was talking about?

    Will Fleck learn from watching Cignetti's aggressive play calls and creativity?

    Imagine how unstoppable Cignetti will be once he learns about nektons.
