Our offense is basically a middle finger to the opponent and a "just try and stop us" approach. It will keep us good (because of our line experience and size), but you need to fool the opponent on occasion to be great.

If I were to complain about the offense, I would say it is too predictable. You shouldn't make it so easy for you your opponent to prepare for you. Big plays are as much a function of misdirection as they are aggressive play calling.

Writer's lose credibility when they only focus on negatives or positives. I do not visit the star any more, but does this gentleman ever say anything positive?

I am not a fan of the "denting" concept. We never got a dent because they reinforced the wall. If we are going to be so married to a strategy we are unwilling to pivot, it better at least work against a team like Illinois. You should never make it easy for your opponent to prepare. Sometimes...

Dominating win...the gophers felt in complete control from start to finish.

People posting with emotion about stuff they literally know nothing about has me visiting here far less. Loud mouth is not synonymous with smart mind. Get better Trey.

I think there were people above who said what you stated. Opinions are great, some are just smarter than others. There is nothing wrong with complimenting an opponent or showing respect to an opponent. Win with class, lose with class. Taking someone else down leaves you in the same relative...

Unfortunately, love and hate, perfect and awful are what drive social media profits and that thinking slowly filters into the real world. People are being conditioned to think this way. Profits are no longer driven by fair and balanced. Moderate. The instant feedback loop of clicks with...

I am a Fleck supporter, but that was obviously an extremely bad game. The one word I would use to describe it is joyless. Football is a game and should be fun and it should look like fun. That was like a bad dental appointment; no one wants to see it or be there for it. The fourth down attempt...

Loved the uniforms!

Sorry, I assumed your post in which you state the following, insinuates it: "I'd rather our coach focus on getting players who fit what he wants to do even if he has to sacrifice some talent in year one (since there was an extremely shallow pool to choose from), than just mindlessly grab as much...

I doubt our strategy is to dig down on our path to finding a way up...would especially not make too much sense for a first year coach trying to gain credibility.

What is wrong with playing where you want to play and go to school?

We're #1! If you want more clicks, you need to modernize your headline. Should have read, "Gopher men's basketball #1 in..."

See the column, "HC Exp At Hire". It is an imperfect, but relatively fair review of peers in the Big10.

An honest and fair review: Pay: First year pay of some of the Big10 coaches along with experience that would have helped determine that pay (see grid). Ben is being paid reasonably well, relatively speaking. Recruiting: We are not in a position to be throwing away scholarships. That is silly...

That is not winning thinking. Winners say things like, "in spite of", "despite the odds", "overcome", etc... Noone who is winning uses excuses...they own problems/mistakes and problem solve relative to the situation. Not sure what is going on, but the last thing we need is excuses, which...

I say we start 4 of our 5 guys, just so we have some bench productivity.

The most comparable coach on the list to Ben Johnson is probably Chris Collins at Northwestern. He also had no prior HC experience. He was a similar statistical basketball player to Johnson at Duke. He was an asst for 15 years, (13 for Krzyzewski). Johnson was also an asst for 15 years.

Not my intention to mislead. If you have a better source, please post it rather than make a statement with no information. Here is my source: https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/mens-basketball/coach/. From the link, you can click on any coach to get their pay history. I posted each...
