For what it's worth, I've got a source (I know, this is getting tired, but it's true) that tells me that other programs have contacted Shaka, and been told that he's not interested because he's going to Minnesota. Take it for what it's worth, which, considering nobody knows me, is admittedly...

This team is like the stock market. When things are darkest, you know dawn's around the corner. For whatever reason, they've managed to defy my expectations every step of the way. So I want to be on record. I'm predicting that they lose to the Illini and in the first round of the tourney...

I think firing Tubby would be a bad idea, and I think this season could still end up being a success. I think this is a confidence team who is out of confidence. They'll lose to Indiana. But then they'll beat PSU, build some confidence, beat Nebraska, and then hopefully beat Purdue. Then...

I'm as angry as anybody about these last four games. They were painful, especially since I knew we were going to find a way to blow it against an inferior team in Madison. We're in a funk right now. But this team under Tubby, has been characterized by their reliance on momentum. We are, both...

First game pitted a whole team against almost nobody, so they had to recruit some randoms. I didn't know that many people there, because they didn't have programs yet. Julian Welch looked skinner though, and he was looking pretty good. He was going hard to the rack and finishing well in...

Look, this is bad. It's probably going to be a rough year. But I've been shocked before. When Aaron Robinson, Brent Lawson, Vince Grier, and Jeff Hagen took us to the tourney under Monson, I was flabbergasted. I didn't think that group of players had it in them. I'm not willing to give up...

There's nobody more frustrated about this result than me. It looks like this year could be like the last, derailed by horrible luck. However, I'm frankly disgusted by some of the rhetoric on this board. It's one bad game. It could turn into more if Trevor's injury is as serious as everybody...

Went to the Pulley playoffs last night. It was packed. I missed the first half of the Mbakwe v. the Frosh game, but I caught the rest. Here are some quick thoughts. -It was nice to run into some fellow Gopherholers. - Andre Hollins is very quick, and his jumper looks very smooth. He was...

Well, I was there last night, and both games were pretty short on players. Rodney, Mav, Andre Hollins, Oto, Halverson, Austin, and Elliot all decided to sit out their games last night, which kind of took all the fun out of the games, especially as all we were left with (from a Gopher...

I see that KSTP beat me to the punch with their video highlights. Mine aren't on as high-quality a camera, but I still captured some good moments. First, let me say that the first game was actually quite fun, despite having no (current) Gophers. There were some impressive players for Pulley...

Who's excited? I'll be there tonight, and I'll try to post a rundown tonight or tomorrow. HP is always a highlight of my summer.

So I thought the refs were disgraceful all game. Just horrible. I mean, we work the ball inside that much, and we get 8 free throws? Just an embarrassment. So, I was letting the refs know that in an... energetic fashion, let's say. I believe I said "that was a travel," "you've been missing...

Again, this season was ruined by Nolen's unfortunate injury and D.J.'s idiocy and selfishness. I agree with the folks who point out issues with Tubby's coaching. He didn't cover himself in glory last night, and he hasn't made the adjustments necessary. However, you folks have to remember...

Okay, I think it's time to admit that losing Nolen killed this season. I don't blame Tubby, we just have no ball-handlers. I think we'll be lucky to sneak into the Tourney, but I no longer expect us to be able to. Illinois played like garbage last night, and we didn't seem to want the game...

I'm mostly an optimistic kind of guy, but I'm having a tough time seeing a win. In order to get some positivity going, I visited an Illini board (they're even more pessimistic than we are), but I'm still having a tough time seeing a win tonight. Granted, we're a much better team at home, but...

Okay, I was leaving Williams last night, and Sid was in front of me. At the T intersection between Williams, Mariucci and TCF, a few pedestrians, including Sid and I, decided to do a bit of jay-walking. There was a new cadillac waiting to turn right/get through the horde of Gopher faithful...

There were a ton of people climbing on to this bandwagon early in the season, and a ton of people were unrealistically loudly trumpeting their expectations of a big ten championship/deep run. Now, people are talking about firing Tubby, claiming this team can't possibly finish above .500 in the...

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of Ol' Kris, mostly because he always struck me as an intensely selfish player, although there's no doubt that he could play some ball when he was here. However, I just heard about what I consider to be the paramount achievement in Mr. Humphries' life, dating Kim...
