Fans love fiery coaches because we only seen them twice a week and we can vent our frustrations vicariously through them as they jump around and scream at refs and players. However, when you have to deal with that every day for 6 months or so, it gets pretty old pretty fast. How about finding...

No coach in the world is going to consistently play somebody who has trouble figuring out your offensive system and hasn't yet learned how to play defense at the college level. More often than not, it takes players time to figure out the college game. A few get it right away (Tori-and she was...

Sounds (and in watching, it also looked) to me that we need to be much better defensively! In looking at the rest of the Big Ten, I think you vastly overrated the talent on our Gophers team. We have some nice pieces, but with who we suited up after Braun and Woodson went down, we are not an...

Gotta remember that this is season 2. Lost 2 of the top 8 rotation players (including the one who most consider the best). And it's seems there are offensively gifted players coming in next year. I'm still shocked that anybody looked at our Gophers, then the rest of the Big 10 coming into the...

That is an interesting point in that it begs the question; Is that a actually a factor to be taken seriously or not. I could see that it might be, but then again, maybe not so much. I have no idea.

Gotta admit, the very few times I ever won at a Blackjack table, the only thing I felt was relief. Probably because I don't make enough money to be able to afford to lose even a $20.

My feeling is that if Johnson decides to transfer, it will be because she does not believe she is capable of becoming the type of player that coach Dawn P prefers to have on the floor, or decides she doesn't want to be that type of player and wants to go to a program that will allow her to...

Besides missing the entire point, which is spending money on something you have no control over as opposed to spending money on anything else that you can have some control over, which is stupid; How do you know whether or not I donate time or money to help others? Maybe I need to send you an...

I enjoy going out to eat or have a drink or watch a show on Netflix or take a vacation. I can pretty much count on any of those things being a reasonably enjoyable experience. I can control the circumstances of each of those things. Change the channel, Order what I want, Pick the spot I want to...

I've always been of the opinion that only an idiot would bet money on something they have zero control over. Unless you can somehow show me how I can control whether Dawson Garcia makes or misses a 3-point shot to win or lose a game, I maintain you have zero control of one or the other...

I admit I was too. But I also assumed that coach was seeing something in practice that we weren't seeing and that maybe things were taking a little longer than usual to click. Seems like we fans see the current snapshot (good, bad or average) and assume that's what the entire movie is going to be.

One of the things I've never understood is the need for so many fans to take an early, quick look at a new player and feel the need to make a pronouncement (especially negative) on that players ability, fit, intangibles, ect. with-out waiting to see if said player improves, adjusts, learns the...

Wonder how many called in to mention how the refs always screw us over, we're normally talented enough to overcome it. It's not just Gopher fans, everybody's fan base is convinced the refs are screwing them over! :)

I honestly love watching a heady, important defensive play when your team needs a stop as much as I enjoy watching a spectacular dunk. I know a lot of people think defensive basketball is boring. If it's strictly a matter of horrible offensive execution, then I guess it can be, but when a team...

Wondering if you've ever heard a coach say "One of the things that really helps our team stay together and work hard every day to get better is the fact that some of our guys refuse to accept their roles on the team. Their pouting about not starting and not being "team first-me second" kind of...

To be honest, one of her bench players is now a starter in place of Braun. Her number 7/8 bench strength (Woodson) is out for the season. That leaves her with a solid 6th and 7th player coming off the bench. She went into the season thinking she had 9; which is a deep bench in D-1 Basketball...

Just saying, that right now, this program IS in a much better spot, with a bright future to boot. Pretty sure that for most of us who were paying attention to the rest of Big Ten, we realized that the Gophers getting to the NCAA tournament this season, even with Braun and Woodson available and...

Are we sure? That guy constantly takes :30 seconds to get to and complete a :10 second thought. I end up listening to him for about 15 minutes on my ride home a few times a week and the most frustrating thing about him is it takes him forever to spit out a thought.

I'm not sure how people don't get this. The back-up QB line was pretty spot on. There is a stated philosophy for the team by a very successful and well-respected coach, who is still in the pretty early stages of gathering all the ingredients for "cooking up a gourmet meal". Oh, by the way...

I might agree in some instances, but I've seen so many kids and pro's go from very shaky shooters to very good/reliable shooters through hard work. Also seen plenty of kids who looked like great shooters, until they hit a certain level of defense being played against them. Currently watching a...
