Just more of the same. I honestly don't know when the ladies will be able to beat the Badgers again.

Gopher hockey. Lol. What an embarrassment. And they charge $50 per game to watch this utter garbage? Yeah, sure, if you say so. Break out the gimmicks from the U to trick people into coming to watch this crap!

Exactly. Thank you. Apparently, it's just too much for some to grasp (or accept).

I'm not. I pointed out a fact and opinion you actually agreed with and are now apparently having a hissy fit over it. At this point, you're providing me with plenty of comic relief with your whining about an agreed upon point of view. But you do you.

Jesus, you just don't get it. Sigh.

Exactly. Win and folks will come. Bottom line. But slogans won't sell the public without wins to back it up.

I would even take this a step further and say the problems have been there for a few years and still aren't improving. Not good.

Trust me, if the fans and media don't buy in, there will be problems. Not so much the media, but if the fans start abandoning the ship, there will be big problems.

Personally, I think it's a Minnesota thing more than anything. Minnesota sports fans have been fed spin for decades without substance. And at times like these, Fleck just looks like more of the same. I love that he talks to his team that way. Gives them belief and I think for the most part, they...

Apparently, the point is too subtle for you to grasp. Got it.

It isn't about me, I just have an opinion. So I'll spell it out one more time and see if you get it this time: Minnesota fans and media don't want to hear it (in case you haven't noticed). If he wants to say those things to his team, fine. But don't trot it out to the fanbase because they've...

What are you talking about? I never said that at all; not even close. What I am saying (and have always said btw) is that Minnesota fans (and the media) don't want to hear platitudes or catchy phrases when the teams they watch consistently fail to live up to those platitudes and catch phrases...

I'd be fine if he just stopped with the championship week bs when addressing the media and all the discussion of being elite until he can actually win games against the likes of Iowa or Wisconsin on a regular basis. Beat both of those two in one season and I might rethink that position. For...

This team has established a pattern of folding when things get tough. I'm not sure they have the necessary attitude to wanna get payback from really bad losses. If anything, they accept poor losses and performances on a regular basis.

All the recruiting in the world won't matter if the players' approaches don't improve. We supposedly had a top level class two years ago to go along with a veteran group of returning performers and the program has taken about two or three steps backward. Gotta fix that before we start drooling...

Then he and his team better start showing it in an actual game rather than blabbering on about various championship weeks and being "elite."

Fleck doesn't really mind losing games to rivals. In fact, we really haven't had coaches who have given a damn in that regard for decades. How else can you explain doing the exact same thing year after year? But that's the U way: Do just enough to not get fired and then tout it as a job well done.

Congrats to Purdue. Much, much better team than the Gophers. Better coached. Better players. As for Hugh's team?: More of the same, which equals little more than cannon fodder for good competition.

Jesus, just stop with this "we got closer" bs...nobody wants to hear it. But I guess we've officially reached the moral victory/excuses making portion of an extremely average (in other words, not elite) season.

This school (more specifically, the athletic department) LOVES itself some mediocrity. That's the biggest reason I roll my eyes at coaches and U administrators even talkng about excellence. If you want or expect true excellence, Gopher athletics need not apply. It's never been a true goal of the...
