    10 Most Interesting Black Candidates to Replace Pitino!

    Pretty good list of coaches here, and I know a lot of people are in favor of him, but I just have a real hard time getting on board the Anthony Grant train. He was given 6 years at Alabama and didn't do a whole lot with that opportunity, making one NCAA tournament in which his team was promptly...

    Official 2022 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    https://247sports.com/Article/2022-South-Dakota-QB-Jacob-Knuth-wants-to-earn-a-Minnesota-offer-160647802/ RE: Knuth, it sounds like he is ALL IN on Fleck, such that it wouldn't surprise me to see him sign just as soon as he is able to. And this kid's motivation and attitude, man, that's the...

    If you could choose any coach in the country to coach the Gophers...

    I'd say Chris Beard or a healthy Thad Matta.

    What is the benefit to allowing Pitino to finish the season?

    I don't see any benefit to firing him with three games left in the regular season, other than the fact we're all extremely upset. This team has been straight-bad for going on six weeks now, so even If RP was relieved of his duties tomorrow, I'd have a real hard time believing an interim coach is...

    2020-2021 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    Awesome game between two heavyweights. That was about tournament-like intensity from both sides, and just such a high level of basketball all the way around. I think either of those teams (and absofrickenlutely Illinois) are capable of going a long, long way in March.

    Who is your "Home Run" hire?

    He'd give us just massive and instant credibility straight off the bat, and I just keep thinking/hoping that maybe having so much in-state basketball talent to potentially work with might be a determining or swaying factor in someone like Matta coming here. He has proven he can win and win...

    Who is your "Home Run" hire?

    Thad Matta would be the one guy I'd consider a homerun hire, in fact I'd consider him an out of the park grand slam of a hire. God, that guy, all he does is win. 17 years as a head coach, and he *averages* 26 wins per season. His one year at Butler, a first place conference finish while leading...

    Back to 17 wins to be “completely safe” heading to BTT

    Totally agree. It would be remarkable for a team with the quality of victories that we have end up not making the tournament, but that is the realistic possibility we are facing. I wonder if in the history of college basketball, there has ever been a team with double digit home victories over...

    Doogie on U/Pitino: I don’t see them paying him 1.75 to leave then committing 6 for 18 or more to a replacement. This isn’t the SEC.

    It just gets discouraging, man, as it seems the same issues plague this team year after year after year, just like Groundhog Day. It's our inability to win on the road. It's our coaching staff's inability or unwillingness to make in-game adjustments in order to counter or exploit what the...

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    Same. I'll be disappointed if PJ does decide to leave, but if he goes, he goes, and I'm not gonna stress myself about it either way. It'll just be next guy up, whomever that next guy might be. Things change, that's a constant and a given, and when it comes to ambitious young coaches who've...

    What grade would you give the Gophers coaching in the loss to Iowa?

    The team looked flat and uninspired from basically beginning to end, and I believe that *has* to be on the coaching staff. If they can't get these boys roused up to play against Iowa on national TV on a Friday night, then I don't even know what to say beyond the fact that I'm just terribly...

    UNBELIEVABLE - POST GAME RANT THREAD!!!!

    It's the offensive version of the 'prevent defense'. I can't fricken stand that. Clearly, our playcalling telegraphs the fact to our opponent that we are in straight bleed the clock mode (and with an entire quarter+ of football left to go, no less!), and so entirely predictably they stack the...

    Shama: Sources say Coyle had decided to fire Pitino, reached out to possible replacements, "(probably) spared by the pandemic"

    What a lame article. It does absolutely no good for anyone and could potentially do great harm. Even if it's true, this helps no one, and you'd better believe that things like this are used in negative recruiting. Pathetic...

    What do you miss most about sports?

    I miss the escapism that sports offers. I mean it's a great escape- put a game on the tube, and for however long that lasts you can immerse yourself in that event while forgetting about your cares and forgetting about the greater world beyond if you want to. Sports allows one of the purest forms...

    What will ESPN's daily content be going forward?

    It's looking like this sports hiatus might be going on for awhile, so I were ABC/ESPN I'd start negotiating for the rights to broadcast more sports-related movies and documentaries. There's so much great content out there. I'd also love to see them continue to make use of their own self-produced...

    Pitino coming back

    Welp...I was sure hoping for a change in course, but given current circumstances and just how discombobulated everything is at the moment, I can understand how holding tight just might be the most sensible course of action right now. So, here's to hope I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It's official, March Madness is cancelled

    No, no, no, no, no, dude. You're not getting it. The mortality rate is not measured by month, but by the death rate in confirmed cases. As of this evening there were at least 1,599 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States (and all since the beginning of this month) with 39 (now 40)...
