So disappointed to hear the interview by Nadine Babu and her guest calling into question former Gopher and Viking Jack Brewer. It was a personal attack on Jack's character and his political stance. It was quite obvious that both people did not agree with Jack's appearance on the RNC. I was...

Souhan is talking out of both sides of his mask. He supported the protestors for BLM and social justice many who were without masks, and definitely not social distancing, but then turns around and blames people who don't follow social protocol for the cancellation of college football. Souhan's...

Tier 1: Izzo- legendary Painter- almost legendary Tier 2: Underwood- watch out this program is on the rise Gaard- can't argue with his success Peikell-guy can coach- if they get some O talent look out Turgeon- steady eddy I mean Mark Tier 3: Hoiberg- could/should rank higher if using ISU...

That is exactly right. The U could have easily made Claeys interim coach and Jerry could have taken the year to address his health. He was the one that said he could not continue as a head coach.

Nice interview Daniel House, the thing I appreciate about 14 is his loyalty and desire to continue a strong tradition of MN baseball. Baseball hasn't alway been financially supported by the University like some sports but that wasn't an excuse for 14. Anderson and his staff improved the...

People argue that they should have the same opportunities as regular students. But do regular students have a training table, trainers for injuries or improving their physical skills, free tutors and mental coaches, travel on chartered plans to Hawaii or NYC for contests, and who knows what...

Walton is clearly stringing the U along, plus look at all the free basketball tickets he got out of the U.

-Flip Saunders - quintessential point guard and cool nickname -Darryl Mitchell with the knee pads -Kevin McHale -Hibbing's finest 6'10 Power Forward -Sam Jacobsen-the white Dominque Wilkins -Al Nolen- one tough dude

Go ahead gopher8190 and list those disadvantages that we have here relative to other Big Ten schools. The arena, school, location, practice facility, fan base (if winning) are all competitive or better than other fellow institutions. The only clear cut disadvantage, in my opinion, is a coach...

Pitino was for sure in save my job mode. He was selling the 2 out 3 years in the NCAA (even though his Big Ten record is poor), having to work with 3 different AD's (not sure how that affects Pitino), and wishing the state would celebrate the MN kids who commit to the U and not focus on those...

I had the chance, while visiting my son in California, to see the SDSU Colorado State basketball game on Tuesday night. What a game and what an environment. CS was poised, disciplined, and well coached in a very hostile environment. Coach Medved, his staff , and his team outplayed the Aztecs...

If they fire Pitino, which I believe will happen, the first order of business for the new coach is to recruit the players on the roster to stay. If he is an established winner like Beilein, that becomes an easier recruiting process, but undoubtedly some will leave. Many seem to undersell what...

I saw 2 Gopher games in Tempe, Friday and Saturday. Both games were plus 4 hours. The death of baseball: pitchers who won’t consistently throw it over, and hitters who step out and adjust everything. I wish coaches would emphasize better pace. You are killing the sport. PS I saw their 3rd...

The U will probably, and I believe PJ has talked about this, in most cases be a program that will develop 3* recruits to play in their junior and senior years. The key will be keeping these athletes in the program, with little playing time, during their development years. We will never be Ohio...

The lack of depth is a recruiting issue. It falls on Pitino to balance the roster with viable game contributors. We get nothing from the bench. When Carr gets fatigued no help or when Gabe and Willis go cold no help, or Daniel gets tired no help. Even if Coffey would have stayed we still...

Just heard a podcast where Patrick Reusse stated that Pitts flipped the coach off when pulled from the game. If this is true she deserved to be suspended and any teammate who would support that behavior is in the wrong and subject to discipline. That is conduct that is detrimental to the team.

I wish Pitino would give those guys a few minutes so that Carr and Oturi can get a little rest. Richard needs to get a little creative with subbing. He must have so little confidence in Greenlee or Freeman that even 1 or 2 minute stretch would cause problems. He won't even play Payton at...

If you look at the whole quote where he makes the comment about PJ, "I think P.J. Fleck is one of the best coaches in the country. I love him. But basketball just didn’t match what I wanted it to be." It becomes more of a swipe at Pitino and the BB program.

A mistake hire for suspending a player who was exhibiting conduct detrimental to the team? If you allow a player(s) to get away with that type of behavior you will lose the whole team. Coach Whalen deserves time to establish her culture.
