He should have never left...but he is not welcome back. Hope he finds a spot but not here.

I know, we will see what happens next year.

I mean, no offense to USD, SDSU, UND, NDSU, Omaha and Kansas City but...that is not exactly the Ivy League and Stanford. And just to tell you how little that matters when the WCHA imploded well connected Denver fans I used to be friendly with honestly believed the program would be dead because...

And that is why I am fine with it. Hell I would take 5k with the Tommies over 4k with Oral Roberts because of how cruddy our attendance has been. If we were constantly selling out Williams I would be against it.

When I was teaching college still I almost applied for a teaching job there. Honestly their pay range kind of sucked.

Oh and HANG THE FRIGGIN BANNERS! If UNC gets to count their titles, and UConn, and Kansas...so can we!

And that is fine...I am just saying lets be realistic here. This "heightened interest level" is some serious hopium. For the first few years (if not more) you wont see much of an uptick. Any uptick is good at our cratered level but St. Thomas Basketball Enthusiasm is not exactly at a fever...

The Big Neighbor broadcast the games because they lost the Gophers...come on this isnt difficult. (and the Big Neighbor is friggin broke so Tommy Football wasn't bringing in the big bucks!) Michigan and Michigan State played a hockey game at The Big House...do you really think that means...

I used to get yelled at for saying that. :(

Doesn't Duluth come to the Barn a lot? Do you really think the average fan who doesn't care about Gopher Athletics or St. Thomas Athletics is going to say "You know...let's go to Williams Arena Thursday the Tommies are playing the Gophers!"? That doesn't pass the smell test for me. If you...

Right...a heated rival that goes back decades and is played every year. Not exactly the same thing. Their stadiums are small for a reason. I am not against playing St. Thomas, but lets not pretend they have a huge Q rating in the Twin Cities. I would bet the average person doesn't even know...

Yes they did...and it barely moved the needle.

I will take that bet. I also dont see why the atmosphere will be all that crazy. I dont think anybody really cares all that much about St. Thomas. Maybe one day they will, but it isnt like they are a rival in any sport or have some sort of hatred for each other. Its not like anyone would...

Better chance of that then both teams filling up the Target Center ;)

Yeah...a half filled Target Center for that game will be a fun suck. Play it at the Barn or if it has to be neutral (it definitely does not) find a place that can be filled. Target Center sucks anyways but with an unfilled top section it will feel empty and awful.

I guess we will find out. Like I said its Niko's choice not mine. I am not angry or anything and hope you are right.

Him bombing the joke about them not wanting to play us was classic!

Obviously just there to promote himself! #DeepThoughtsFromGopherholeHaters (I love that PJ is so supportive of other sports!

Nadine asks about the banners and St. Thomas :ROFLMAO:

Niko pushing the Barn...HARD!
