Is UCLA a good college football job? Sure, it's in sunny Los Angeles, has a fertile local recruiting base, it's a well known school and now it's in the Big Ten. Is it an easy job? Hell no! UCLA is so well known they don't really need to use athletics to get their brand name out there. The...

Row the Rolls Royce

Why wouldn't you compare them? The main reason that basketball arenas are newer and football stadiums are older is that older venues tended to be quite small. Without a roof, it was much easier to extend football stadium to capture the bigger seating requirements as the 20th century wore on...

The internet has existed my entire life.

I'm old enough to remember when congress wasn't a bunch of idiots posting memes on the internet.

I live in Europe

The brand identity of Minnesota Basketball is intertwined with Williams Arena. That is hard for an accountant or a consultant to quantify. If Minnesota wants to change that identity, they better have a plan beside "moderately nice new building." We already know that a new facility is not a...

This is the current AP Top 25 with years that the arenas were built. Not a list of top arenas.

I asked ChatGPT to give me the arenas of the top 25 (it missed that Baylor opened a new arena this season). Not exactly teeming with new buildings. UConn - Gampel Pavilion, opened in 1990 Purdue - Mackey Arena, opened in 1967 North Carolina - Dean Smith Center, opened in 1986 Kansas - Allen...

Is it even college basketball if there isn't a smell of stale popcorn?

Jamison Battle, Jerry Kill, Tim Brewster, Richard Pitino. GopherHole has more threads about exes than a Taylor Swift album.

The Barn is, roughly, the same age as Ohio Stadium, Michigan Stadium, Camp Randall and Memorial Stadiums in both Champaign and Lincoln. I don't see anyone clamoring to tear those cathedrals down. The Barn is Minnesota Basketball. Without it, we're just another mediocre Big Ten team in a cookie...

It was a nice win, but Izzo will compliment an 0-28 team.

Someday I hope this program gets to the point where nobody wants a damn photo with our trophies because we actually have them at least half of the time.

I don't hate the concept of black jerseys, the problem is that maroon, gold and black don't go particularly well together so it always looks cheap. It's like putting a hot dog on a pepperoni pizza. If they want to wear black, they need to really reduce the maroon and gold to outlines and piping.

Awoleye is not in the portal, she's graduating.

I think maybe it's a bowling reference?

Tim Brewster last coached Minnesota 4,858 days ago.

The NBA and NFL have morphed into the Real Househusbands over the last decade.

They went 11-19 last year, why did you have such high expectations? They're much improved but they're awfully thin in the post. Are we at the point now that whenever the team loses a game some whiny fan is going to post that the entire team is going to transfer?
