Looking at his tenure, I'd say Coyle's coaching decision run has been pretty good. Moving on from Claeys and hiring Fleck, hiring Dawn Plitzuweit for women's basketball and Niko Medved have proven or are looking to be good decisions. I even think it's OK to an extent to give a bit of a pass on...

I think it was the right time. That 2023 season was great, seeing the arena full was awesome and it was nice to be in the NCAA Tournament regularly. However, looking at this season and the last one, I think it was clear the program was on the decline. I think in some cases, an argument could be...

I'd say B. Rebuilt the program after it fell off during Lucia's final years. Reinvigorated the fanbase in doing so. Then the rest of his resume: 5 NCAA Tournaments 2 Frozen Fours 2 Conference Titles 1 Conference Tournament Title That's not bad for a seven year stretch. It’s notable that he did...

Minnesota Duluth is having a great run. Beating Washburn is tough, that's a very well-coached program with good depth. They took out Minnesota State-Moorhead last year. The Bulldogs have a good coach in Justin Wieck, he brought UMD to the Elite Eight before in 2023. It's kind of bittersweet...

So, how are we feeling about this draw? The Bears come in with a 16-16 (6-12) record, but I feel like you can't count out a Scott Drew team. Baylor has won at least 20 games per season for the last 15 years before this season except once, a 19-15 finish in 2017-2018. Drew led the program to the...

It's faaaaake.

UMass made them uncomfortable all game long. Miami couldn't get any rhythm on offense.

So i was looking back at previous seasons and it looks like this is the fourth time in 20 years both the basketball team and hockey team won't be in the postseason. 2005 - NCAA Hockey 2006 - NIT Basketball 2006 - NCAA Hockey 2007 - NCAA Hockey 2008 - NIT Basketball 2008 - NCAA Hockey 2009 -...

That's been the main thing. In each season since 2019 there's been dropped games that were for sure winnable. 2020 - Wisconsin, lost by 3 2021 - Bowling Green, lost by 4 2022 - Purdue, lost by 10 2023 - Northwestern, lost by 3 (OT) 2024 - North Carolina, lost by 2 2025 - California, lost by 13...

I think it's going to come down to the depth. That was really what made the difference in 2019, having a roster with so much beyond just a few star players. The running back room had Ibrahim, Smith and Brooks for a great group. The receiver corp. had Bateman and a healthy Autman-Bell on top of...

I think there's a sense he helped lay the groundwork for the likes of Dave Doeren and Rod Carey to have the success they did in the 2010s. The program had kind of peaked with Joe Novack and was starting to slide. Kill reenergized it, gave it that physical identity and recruited Jordan Lynch. I...

Some praise for Deven ahead of tomorrow's Senior Bowl.

I say we go after the Casa De Autos sponsored patch if New Mexico State hasn't yet.

It's definitely been an improvement from those years between 2008-2013. During that time there were no national championship game appearances, let alone titles. Plus, during that time the Big Ten had no Heisman winners, no Maxwell Award winners, no Bronko Nagurski winners, Chuck Bednarik...

Major shift in the NFL to no longer have Tomlin and Harbaugh. Here's a rundown of their tenures: Mike Tomlin 1 Super Bowl Title 2 AFC Championships 3 AFC Championship Games 8 AFC North Titles 13 Playoff Berths 19 Seasons With No Losing Record John Harbaugh 1 Super Bowl Title 1 AFC...

What a lineup tonight. Could be a double Border Battle victory. Minnesota Golden Gophers Vs. Wisconsin Badgers Minnesota Timberwolves Vs. Milwaukee Bucks

I wouldn't say so. To me a team of destiny is one that defies the odds, needs some miracles, gets some lucky bounces. As if the universe is on their side. Indiana is just really fricking good.

I mentioned once in the Hockey forum, it's I'm always a bit split on the discussion. On the one hand, I absolutely think the Gophers should compete for more titles as a Blue Blood and the national championship drought has been agonizingly long. It was made all the worse in that talented 2023...

So far no other Gophers have been invited. I'm wondering if Jameson Geers, Le'Meke Brockington, Darius Green and Derik LeCaptain might still get some attention. To note, the Tropical Bowl roster hasn't been announced yet. Another Minnesota State Moorhead player has received an invitation to an...

Amazing to me how Pat and some others in the local media have treated Fleck, and in the past Kill and Pitino, but hardly ever came down anywhere close to this hard on Ben Johnson.
