    Non Revenue Generating Sports

    If you did this it would be North Dakota and MAYBE MN, MN St. and St. Cloud. That's it. Literally hockey has much less interest nationally than womens bball, softball, etc.

    Even with poor non-conference slate, 21 wins should get the Gophers a ticket to the Madness

    86 NET now after Nebraska helping us out. NCAA or bust. To hell with the NIT. I'd rather watch womens table tennis.

    At 3-1, are the Gophers good, does the B1G stink, or is it a little of both?

    Payne is a terrible FT shooter. Shaq like. Honestly, it would do him good to just try to old granny shot. I bet he would make quite a few more than what he does now this way.

    At 3-1, are the Gophers good, does the B1G stink, or is it a little of both?

    I would disagree with this. They might have won one of them. Yes, Mich and Maryland are down, but maybe you should check in on Nebraksa, they just handed Purdue their butts last night.

    At 3-1, are the Gophers good, does the B1G stink, or is it a little of both?

    I voted a little of both. But here is the main thing I like to see. This team plays MUCH harder than anything we've seen from Ben coached teams yet. This teams plays MUCH better defense than anything we've seen from Ben. This team has MUCH better guards than Ben has had here so far. They have...

    Going into the Big Ten season, the Gophers team is?...

    Only reason I think they can win more now is the Big Ten doesn't look great. Yes, there are those few teams, but overall, I'm thinking there is a big bunch of teams that are all about the same right now.

    Going into the Big Ten season, the Gophers team is?...

    I'm with you on this analysis. I was thinking 6-8 BT wins with the new guard guard improving along the year #24. How many are we thinking it takes to get in the tourney? 10 wins? 11? 9 even? I'm hoping, thinking, maybe this team wins 9 BT games. We will see but if they want to show they are...

    The Final Straw

    Yep, some kind of contract system is going to have to be put in place. The neverending transferring and the sitting out of bowl games is really a bummer. Maybe they don't care about the bowl games, not sure how much money alot of them make. Because we all know the only way anything changes is...

    5* Dylan Raiola commits to Nebraska: No. 1 QB in 2024 flips from Georgia, becomes program's highest-rated recruit

    Imagine what his parents are like. They are the ones that had him all over the place switching high schools, etc., bet they are just a treat. He and Nebraska better be good or things will get sour for this new coach in a hurry.

    This is Lunacy

    All I know is this NIL stuff sure makes these kids words mean nothing. "Committed", doesn't mean a thing at the D1 Power 5 level. The rest of college sports isn't hurt by NIL, but this level it has basically turned into free agency. Not sure how you fix it, but I would start with binding...

    This is Lunacy

    They haven't had to for years. Basically, what Clem was busted for years ago has been going on at Universities forever. This is why there are haves and have nots. For some reason the NCAA decided some winners and loser and now NIL and here we are.

    Midseason termination is not a bad thing

    What is the "right way"? Losing alot? Not guarding anyone? Turning the ball over alot? These 3 things have been constants since Ben got here. They are also thing that a coach can control and don't have a ton to do with talent! The right coach teaches every player to play the game at the highest...

    How do you feel about the state of program right now?

    1- No it isn't. If it is, then San Fran would be a top 3 team in conference, they out-talented us by a lot, would they be tops of the Big Ten? 2-Maybe he is, maybe he isn't but he hasn't shown us much if any positive yet 3-Not sure about this, Bens teams have always had bad guard play...

    All Things D2 and D3 College Football 2023 Season Thread

    Agree, for softball, it has been Bethel, St. Bens, Olaf and that's it for tourney type teams in the conference last couple years. Gustavus is up and coming now though, Coley Reis is their coach. We don't get Berry, but they did play them in the supers 2 years ago. They are tough as nails. Here...

    All Things D2 and D3 College Football 2023 Season Thread

    The regional rankings stuff in D3 is mind boggling at times. One year it seems they give you more credit for scheduling tougher teams the next year it seems like the wins matter. My daughter plays softball for Bethel they went 20-0 in conference and finished like 33-3 overall last season. They...

    Fleck needs to examine every facet of this program

    I agree. This team was just young on defense after some injuries and their QB played like he belonged in the NCC. They need a kid that can either sit and hit on his passes with accuracy, or a guy that is dual threat. If it were me, I would see if I can find that pocket passer through he portal...

    Midseason termination is not a bad thing

    I honestly don't know what is so hard about this. Look at how the Illinois coach turned that place around. THEY PLAY IN YOUR FACE LOCKDOWN DEFENSE. This is the only way to win with lesser talent. Get up in their face, tell 10-11 guys they are getting run and guard the heck out of people. We...

    How do you feel about the state of program right now?

    Agree with this. St. Thomas is about winning. They did in in the MIAC because they put more resources towards it than anyone else. And they will do the same thing where they are at now. It'll take some time, but at least they have the gumption to go for it. U of M has never been about sports...

    How do you feel about the state of program right now?

    And the day the U didn't stand behind him and fired him, they signed us all up 20 years off the state we are in for right now. No other University would have fired him. When they did that, they flat out told the CBB world that they care ZERO about winning. I'm telling you, Mason as head coach...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS SAN FRANCISCO NEUTRAL SITE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Watched this game the other night. Hate to say it, but that San Fran team had much more talent on their roster than we do. Guard play is everything, and we don't have any. Dumb shots, zero defense from the guards. This roster is D2-ish. That and they don't play defense. If you have no talent...
