Exactly! How many threads on the huckers do we need?

Who The F... Cares?

It is inexcusable to come in out of shape... key way to lose your job, especially if you are not a superstar for the team.

Guys, we are way behind on the replies to his tweet.... MSU, ISU, and Louisville are all over it, didn't see one Gopher reply....

Maybe not over achieving, but you have to agree that Ben exceeded many of the extremely low expectation of many.

The Twin Cites is the major source of good paying jobs for anyone who wants to stay in the region. It brings in all of the kids from outstate and from all over the surrounding area. It can make it a pain to have to listen to the Packer fans, but it comes from our success.

Reciprocity is much more than who roots for who. It opens up so many more school options for students. I used it and both of my kids used it for parts of there college. There are a lot of Twin Cities kids going to the small colleges just across the boarders.

It is just another cheap year for a B1G coach. He did good enough to risk that money for another year, but not good enough to get a huge raise. If things go as planned, the next contracts will not be so cheap.

Would you rather have him not say anything or be real noncommittal on his plans? I do not really see this as coach speak, it sounds like he is really talking fro the heart on what he wants to accomplish and what he expects. Of course we will all see how it pans out, but why just dismiss it...

Just because we do not like a sports team doesn't mean we hate the people that live in that state, and it doesn't mean that we are all hillbillies that have never lived outside Minnesota. Many people have sports alliances based upon who they liked when they grew up, and with that comes a...

To each their own.... I think a big difference is if people are more lovers of the game or more supporters of their home area. The average person wearing a Gopher sweatshirt isn't so much watching the zone blocking schemes, cycling the puck or waiting for a back post screen. They are...

How do you explain Cubs fans? Your home town team doesn't always have to be a winner for you to root for them.

Exactly, it was his first year coaching with a totally new team of players transferring up from smaller schools. Of course the team had a tough time winning games in the B1G, but they showed grit, toughness and a general smartness of play that will be fun to watch. It will take time, but Ben...

It also has to do with motivation. Ben sounds like he has ideas on how to motivate the players to give them the best shot at getting a shot at the next level.

That is where a majority of kids early prejudices come from, but relating it to a rival school is really a stretch. Then it is called fans and rivalry.

It isn't so much a hatred, but a rivalry that can build from when you are young. The old "Friends don't let friends go to Wisconsin..." You can build a "Not Interested" attitude for a rival school. The only reason that I would even consider a school like Sconny or Iowa for sports was if it...

suggest you just put him on ignore, he is on my short list.

They are talking about non-conference games.

Is anyone impressed with the caliber of teams in this tournament. It sure doesn't seem like a group of powerhouses or even a group of wannabes.

Exactly! I was going to point out the same thing. Back to the OP and the name of the thread…. This instance is just an example of what has been happening for a long time in the coaching of youth sports. There are some abusive coaches that teach kids the wrong way. Typically it is the...
