Can we just be done with all of the this conference realignment stuff! Im tired of it already and I have the feeling its just the tip of the iceberg. So to save everyone some time and money I just went through and create my ideal conferences. Keeping the following things in mind...

Found this to be a good read for ESPN Article Interesting case made that John Wall would of ended up at Baylor if Kentucky didnt hire Calipari! That team would of been real good!

Would you have taken the Saint Johns job or the Depaul job if all other things were equal? (money, length of contract etc)

im planning on going to the Gopher game at Target field on saturday... any idea if they will be selling beer at the stadium?

Tubby Smith's name is going to be floated again this year because there is a widespread assumption that he is not all that happy at Minnesota. A source at the school told me that Smith is disappointed that the school has yet to build the practice facility it promised him, plus Smith does not...

ESPN Bracketology: Has us as one of its "Next 4 Out" Andy Katz: Has us as a possible Bubble Buster - The only possible bubble-buster is Minnesota. The Gophers have the talent (although it's a bit depleted) to topple some of the top teams. The problem is that the Gophers will face a recharged...

Sort of surprised that Lunardi has us in his "Next 4 Out" (as of 3/8). Does that mean a win over Penn St and Mich St on a Neutral court would get us in? Bracketology

If I recall correctly Monson had one scholarship remaining (thanks to the must have Engen Nurumbi, dont even get me started) and both Hoffarber and Leuer wanted to be Gophers. Monson offered Hoff and the rest is history. Both so far have turned out to be above average Big Ten players, but my...

I think one of the main issues with this team is there is no set pecking order with the players. This usually happens when you have a bunch of players at the same skill level. Couple this with Tubby's substitution patterns that provides lots of playing time to everyone and you can get alot of...

"I feel very threatened by the police. I felt very threatened by the officer today." I feel very threatened by the police. I felt very threatened by the officer today at the court room." Does anyone else find this quote by Royce to be a bit strange? I can see him being upset at UMPD but to...

Is there a reason that Damian didnt get a chance to guard Turner? When we played him at Williams Turner was mainly guarded by Nolen but Damian also got some time when Nolen wasnt in the game. Turner had his way with Joseph/Westbrook/Cobbs, thus forcing the rest of the team to help and pay...

I know that no one outside of Minnesota cares, but I really feel like Tubby Smith has been nothing short of brilliant during his brief tenure with the Golden Gophers. He took a program that was pretty much dead and turned it around in a hurry. While the team is not ready to shine yet (as was...

We were talking about the Big Ten Scheduling at the game last night. Debating the 6pm vs. the 8pm start time and which people prefer. Saturday and Sunday games now, and how we miss the standard time slots we used to have before the Big Ten network. Which got me thinking... I dont really care...

Can we get this guy for a Mens basketball game this year? http://www.startribune.com/blogs/70372417.html?elr=KArksUUUycaEacyU

Watching last night I was amazed at how well Blake rebounds for a guard. He is always around the rebound, boxes out well and fights with the tall guys very well.

While watching Rodney play, I got into a discussion last night with my dad about who was the last Gopher freshman to have this much potential? Somebody who came to the team, that was raw but played the right way and you can only imagine how good he will be if he stays four years. We debated...

I need some advice on which teams to select in my annual NCAA college basketball pickem pool. Basic rules are: Have 100 points to Pick 5 Teams. All teams not listed are worth zero Get 3 points for every win, Minus 1 point for every loss All Division I games count. Bonus points for NCAA...

Did Paul Carter just become the most important player on this team? Right now, with the uncertainties of Mbakwe and White, I would have to say YES! Looking back on the "Is Paul Carter our best player?" thread takes on a whole new meaning. I would say he is now or most natural/only PF on the...

Myron tries to lay out all of the facts in the Mbakwe case. The more I read the more I believe Maturi made the correct decision, no matter how unpopular. Star Tribune Mbakwe details

Has anyone watched a game from the parking lot yet? Im going down to the game and going to try to get a ticket but was coming up with a plan B just in case. If so, how many people were watching the game on their own TV's? And any suggestions on how you get ESPN on your TV? Satellite...
