    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    I considered you capable of seeing the situation as a little more nuanced than wins vs losses, which is why I responded to you and not one of the more reactive nitwits. But hey, if you're gonna shut it down like that, that's alright. I wish I could see life in such simplified, black and white...

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    I think to a significant extent the athletic department has no idea what the college sports landscape will look like over the next five years due to NIL and the only predictably reliable bellcow is football so they're putting all of their eggs in that basket. From a fiscally conservative...

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    We're living in a world where ignorance, stupidity, and edginess are being promoted and encouraged at breakneck speed at the expense of our traditional values. Everyone is running to the fringes and I feel like a lunatic for trying to stay somewhere near the middle.

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    A few of you keep going back to win/loss records, which I give zero shits about. I'm directing my commentary towards posters who say he's totally incompentent and in over his head, which is bullshit. He'd have zero conference wins to this point if that were the case. He's managed some quality...

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    Yeah, the instant go to that Johnson had no place ever coaching in the Big Ten because of how inexperienced and awful he is, is extremely inauthentic. The guy can clearly coach and he's led the team to win some games we've had no excuse winning under his tenure or under previous ones. He's...

    Gophers Announce Additional Assistant Position Coaches

    If we don't have a major drop-off in performance at QB, I don't think have a major drop-off in performance overall. Fleck has been here a long time, there's a blueprint for day to day and week to week operations, and I don't think an inexperienced position coach is going to screw it up. The...

    Six Gophers headed to combine

    I don't know shit about how people rate throws but Max's looked pretty great aside from the one out route that looked a little loppy

    Ben Johnson Post-Game Following Northwestern Loss

    He's a rural Minnesota kid and comes from a community where loyalty and keeping commitments are still important. His brother is also on scholly to play baseball for the U and his cousin, who is a HS soph, will likely get a good look from the U. Isaac isn't going anywhere as long as he's getting...

    Fresno State Men's Basketball players allegedly placed bets on games they played in, sources say

    The instant gratification created by the internet/social media/online shopping created a bunch of people who can't hold a normal, productive conversation in public or show any degree of empathy or social ettiquite in person or online (no, this isn't directed towards anyone here😜). It's also...

    Fresno State Men's Basketball players allegedly placed bets on games they played in, sources say

    I work with a few grown ass professionals who spend ludicrous amounts of money betting online and they're burying themselves. It's a fucking problem, there's a serious lack of self control and these companies are making a killing while these guys are spending themselves into oblivion and taking...

    Who was your team growing up through HS and College?

    I was a dumb kid who was drawn to cool names and color schemes, I loved me some St. John's in the late 90s when I saw their logo on a hat (the logo was way cooler back then than it is now) at Lids and then found out that they were also pretty good at hoops. This was during their Ron...

    B1G FanDuel win totals

    I think our schedule is super favorable this coming season. Just like last season, the QB spot makes or breaks it - it's time for another 2019.

    SEC, Big Ten to push for seeding changes to 2025 College Football Playoff

    Taking the potential for an underdog upset out of the equation would turn a lot of people away and is one of the beautiful things about cfb, it's one of the things that separates it from the pros. I already watch two pro league conferences duke it out on Sundays. Yeah, I'm interested in the...

    Rank the Head Coaches Since Warmath

    I've been on board since Mason. Fleck at the top, Kill before Mason because Kill left Fleck a pretty good foundation to build on. I still like Brewster and I think he had a vision and worked his ass off in terms of selling the program, but he couldn't execute for shit and kept rotating offensive...

    Fickell... Extended???

    I feel like the whole "we make more with less" narrative has been the norm for numerous Gopher coaching regimes now, starting with Mason (which is also around the time Rivals took off). I've always had the opinion that these recruiting analytics are not anywhere close to accurate outside the top...
