Hey, many of us were perfectly happy with the potential / promise of the last crew we had. But, NO! Trust me you said. The grass is greener over there, you said. In fact, you said it is WAY greener over there. Well, some of us get to call bullshit. You thought it used to suck, some of us are old...

Different is not necessarily better. Exhibit A: Les Steckel. Exhibit B: Monson.

I agree, the idea that you just need to work hard to get ahead in life is laughable. You think Izzo's staff is comprised of fat cats? Come on bro. They all work hard, its just easy to make lemonade with high end lemons.

Which is ironic, because I am guessing that message boards like this are the reason why coaches are fired willy-nilly all the time.

Sorry. I was begging folks to leave Pitino alone last year. At least we got some preseason hype a couple of years. At least I had hopes of making the tourney. Now, I just hope that they won't finish dead last for the next 3 years. Good grief this has gotten ugly in a hurry. Just ugly. It's so...

Honest question. How the hell do you know what your philosophy will be if you have no idea what your team will look like? Only a moron of a coach would commit to running any particular scheme until he knows what his / her team looks like. To whit, you may want to chuck the ball 45 times if...

Ummmm. I was told over and over again that after May 1st, Jaime McNeilly would be his assistant and bringing along the start of a 4 star canadian pipeline? WTH?

True, but find a post on here where I was opposed to Pitino's plan. He had some huge wins. Convince me that he gets fired if his teams had been healthy --yes, I know, you have to have depth, but you can't convince me that Pitino was a healthy Liam Robbins away from finishing in the top half of...

A) Excuse me? UCLA superior to Rutgers in academics. False. B) No offense, but I would and have watched every Gopher game no matter what for decades now. It doesn't mean the product is superior. The Big Ten just has a rabid fan base, that could become even more rabid if the quality and...

Sounds delusional. Did you see the 2nd half of the Iowa / Oregon game? You got a real good luck at who is coming down the pipeline for Iowa? Perkins, Ulis, the Murray brothers? Fran said screw it, and put the young athletes in to let them get some run. Iowa is going to be more athletic than they...

Agreed. if anything he looked like he would be more comfortable trying to keep up with 3s than bodying a 5.

Oh man. You make me feel young. You grew up on Rickert & Humphries and think you are still young. I did too, but I see a burgeoning geriatric in the mirror. I need your optimism.

Researchers talk about two interesting group phenomenon. When folks are "loosely" attached to a group, we find that when the "group" finds success the loosely connected will speak and act in a way that affirms their limited connection to the group. This is called BIRGing--Basking in Reflected...

320+ teams want to be Champions. So what you are saying is that save for Baylor, everyone else wasted their time this season. Did your company lead the nation in sales in 2020? No? Better quit your job by your logic. That's preposterous. It is 2021. I remember every single player on the...

Oturo left early. Would have benefitted from another year to work on this game away from the basket. Made amazing gains from year 1 to year 2. His stock was way up at the end of his sophomore year, and today he is a Clipper, but my guess is that he would have been a first round pick this year...

Well that's not very genuine. Yes, the Humphries era was a trainwreck season. But, Coffey & Oturo helped house Louisville. Then, the centerpiece of their team, Jordan Murphy, couldn't walk in their matchup versus Michigan State in round 2. Who knows what happens if not for that piece of bad...

Seriously? Put it this way: Why would anyone want to be a golden gopher fan? Why wouldn't you just cheer for Gonzaga? Kansas? Baylor for a year? You make choices. Joe Mauer elected to take less (a little) because being a Twin was part of his identity. Maybe Chet, like Parker Fox last week...

3-17 in Big 10 if Peyton is our starting PG. However, if Chet commits on Monday, Carr comes back, and Rebracca signs to play the 5, I will revise to 15-5 in Big 10 with Chet in NPOY contention as a freshmen.

Don't any of you guys know a booster with a bag of cash laying around? Hopefully the dip in crypto last night was one of you putting together a bag to get Chet to stay home.

Agreed. Pitino deserved a better fate. But the squeaky wheel gets the grease
