Agreed, but instead it is going to go to a guy who had a plus/minus of -44.

You're doing it wrong. The way to be a true gopher fan is to suggest that our Big Ten program is somehow the most disadvantaged program facing the most unique challenge of any team in sports history. If the best argument that can be made for a coach is "maybe it's not his fault that his record...

You think there are no boosters out there who would give more money to a good team than a bad team?

Nothing is overstating it. We can debate how much it matters, but I have to believe if Ben hadn't lost so many games his first to years, there would at least be a little more NIL money to work with.

That was my "dare to dream" pick too. Too soon to make the Crack "what about Ben Johnson"? I'm not in the group that is obsessed with "one of us", but I'd ideally like someone with head coaching experience at the collegiate level, maybe someone who has had success in a smaller conference.

I'll withhold judgment on how well/poorly he is handling the off-season until i see how far in the NCAA tournament he gets next year.

If coaching were irrelevant, all of the top programs would get rid of their expensive programs, hire the cheapest coach they can find, and spend the money they currently pay for the coach on something else. Yes, the Minnesota job has its challenges. If we made a change, I doubt we'd find...

I didn't feel like they were bad bounces. I liked a lot of things about Kill, but how conservative/foot off the gas he would get with a lead drove me up the wall.

Is this what Coyle meant we he said we would be preseason top 25?

Couldn't have said it better myself. Our basketball team has struggled, and the best idea our AD has is to send angry messages to his wife? Him thinking that telling the fan base about those texts is going to somehow motivate us or inspire confidence is pretty emblematic of his PR savvy.

This is the second time today I was scrolling down to post a joke only to find someone beat me to the punch!

I honestly can't tell if Pilgrim (1) believes their BS, (2) is being intellectually dishonest to defend a coach they like, or (3) is a full on troll just trying to turn conversations nonsensical. Feels like even odds for any of the three. Of course no one would say missing the tournament...

Beat me to it!

I'm a fan of honesty and sincerity over trying to decide which message is going to play best for an administrator at a PR level. If Coyle allowed himself to be bullied into a hire, he is weak.

I hate the "let the players decide the game" line when it is used to mean have the refs arbitrarily decide when to call or not to call stuff. Reffing is a hard enough job when you are just trying to figure out the right call in real time, they shouldn't also need to evaluate some "should I make...

Once we right the ship, we shouldn't worry about playing at Butler or Indiana State.

Don't disagree with you at all, off campus is awful. But outside of walking distance would be even worse

The dome was still close enough to walk to games from campus (I know they had the busses, but I walked to and from a fee times).

It's really weird how Don got treated. During that span you are talking about, people on this board were saying things like "national titles are all that matter" and characterized the conference titles, frozen fours, and even the title game appearance as "participation trophies." Then we got...

It is happening all over the country, and we need to find a way to succeed in that environment.
