    What used to be loathed is now celebrated. Because we suck even more.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT RUTGERS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I’ve never rooted against the Gophers. But this year I can’t get worked up about them win or lose. Nice if they win, but meh if they don’t. Just another nail in Johnson’s coffin (which should have been in the ground long ago).

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    Dammit. I see this thread at the top of the feed and my hopes soar. Only to get here and find it is a different school with the balls to move on from a bad coach that’s better than ours.

    STrib: An uncertain future, yet hope for Gophers coach Ben Johnson, who foresees a program with more resources

    Ben is feeling the heat. His entire statement is “I”’not “we” which sounds defensive. Don’t blame me for our bad performance, I’ve never had the resources needed to win. Goodbye and good riddance.

    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.

    Johnson’s comparable is Iowa’s Todd Lickliter (the one name that stands out above all other Big Ten coaches as the poster boy for bad coaching). They had the same number of conference wins in their first three seasons. Can’t go beyond that because Iowa was smart enough to cut bait after three...

    ***OFFICIAL NORTHWESTERN AT MINNESOTA BATTLE OF 14-13 TEAMS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    We’re now a fan base that is pulling hard to make Weakling Wednesday. Sure, it’s only because there is now something worse than that: getting left out altogether. Last year we let a decent (not great) season get pissed away down the stretch. Looks like we’re in danger of repeating that.

    Five Guys On A Shortlist: If the U Decides Change Is Needed, Aim High & Don't Be Cheap With That Big Ten Cash

    Moving forward with Smith was their only option. 😳 Apparently the Utah AD has the wisdom to ignore windbag baseball writers and the cajones to pull the trigger now. Mark Coyle, on the other hand…

    Neal: Moving forward with Ben Johnson is the only option for Gophers men’s basketball

    We’ve fired our last two coaches who had not only taken the Gophers to the Big Dance, but won games in the tournament. Now we’re not giving BJ a fair shot despite not sniffing the tournament in four years? The local idiots get all fired up over a couple of upsets and ignore the overall track...

    ***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Or…I don’t think a lot of teams in the country couldn’t have beaten the Gophers today.

    Roman Voss

    When he makes an amazing TD catch that totally embarrasses a Gopher opponent, the announcers will say “he got Voss’d!”

    P.J. Fleck : “The QB competition is going to be fierce. It’s going to be a lot of fun. It has already started.” (Video)

    Most of us are. And those were some mighty lean years when it came to QB play. Uffda.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Ben sets the new mark for conference coaching fails. He’s the new Lickliter but was somehow given a year longer than the previous poster child for losing.

    What is Coyle's, "keep Ben, win tally?"

    Tourney or Toodledo. Anything short demands a change after four years.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    One of the ultimate merit-based jobs. You might get the job for other reasons; the duration of your job might vary by a year or two +/- for other reasons; but in the end, your performance record doesn’t lie.

    Amir dropping them dead

    I don’t get women wearing high heels in the first place, but as a court side media person??? Stupid. Dress for your environment.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT IOWA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Gotta love a consistent rotation. Rigsby and Edmunds first off the bench. They haven’t played regularly in weeks. ??
