I used to write a check every year (currently 36 years) to watch the gopher bb team play around .500, although a much higher percentage at home. Now I'm paying to correct an "equity gap" that the higher education system has decided is the university's priority, including in the athletic...

You stated population was 90% white in 2020. Did you mean 2010? If it's true, that it was 90% in 2020 and now it's 70% in 2023, that's a 13,000 person change in 2 years. Seems implausible.

Agree. Too bad that "poor performance" standard wasn't applied for the 8 years following Tubby.

I'm all in with the freshman talent and waiting for improvements from b10 experience. However, if those core freshman or Garcia, Battle, Ihnen, Fox transfer Johnson's plan falls apart.

Not all team stats get better with experience. For example, free throw %. FT % was 70% last year and similar to Pitino's era which hovered around 70% +/- 2.

Why are uniforms a topic on the hole. This is just a ‘de”fleck”tion’ to the real issue of 3 b10 defeats. 😂

New, but not necessarily no experience. Remember the transfer portal.

You covered that topic from floor to ceiling. 🤣

They all looked "winnable" before they were played.

Pitino was also given too many years before deciding to move on.

What Fleck means is it's all on me for not having better (1) player talent, (2) coaches, (3) game plans. Have heard him comment about player talent being the most important component for winning. And he's correct saying it's all on me.

Difference between average=C and below average=C-. 😂

😂 Beat you to it! Say the following 3 times and all will be better: "Go Gophers, Ski-u-mah, row the boat."😂

Since you mentioned BB and Coyle; Coyle should have cut the cord with Pitino the moment he was hired. Pitino was hired at MN having 1 year head coaching experience and ended with an abysmal B10 record during his 8-year tenure while "earning" millions. Next, B Johnson is hired with zero head...

Fleck said today, "It's all about the talent of the players on the field." And the last 2 weeks proved the talent is "average" for the B10 west.

The neck and head are not considered part of the upper body. The upper body is from shoulders to waist. Lower body is from hips to toes.

Seems like WI is getting enough of the in-state talent to be successful. Johnny Davis, WI recruit, 10th overall 2022 nba draft. Sam Dekker, WI native, 2015 nba 18th pick. Compare WI to MN records in B10 and NCAA for the last 20+ years. Plus a slew of MN talent. As a season ticket holder of...

Is that a joke? You're saying the last 2 years before being hired at MN was the experience that made worthy of a multi million annual contract and a b10 head coaching position. Is the same "last 2 years experience" applicable to everyone getting hired for a head basketball coaching position...

Exactly...term limits for referees, by conference. 2 years in a conference and on to the next conference. After refereeing in each p5 conference they can start over. The referees shouldn't be buddy-buddy with the coaches or fans.

$ 50k for every player on a fb roster? That's $ 4mm for 80 players. Can that be right? Seems it might be less expensive to use a software programmer or graphic arts person to block the image of many of the players, if that's what they need to do. Saw one fb players was holding out for $ 8mm...
