Now that we no longer have to pretend that athletes aren't getting paid, do we have to pretend that they are students? Seriously, is there still a requirement that basketball and football take classes? There used to be some suspense about players being declared academically ineligible. However...

It's January 5th and the wolves are 24-9 and in 1st place in the Western Conference. (Yes kg21, we know McDaniels isn't playing up to the contract he signed with you.) The gophers are 2-1 in the B1G and just won with poise at Michigan. And....there's basically no snow on the ground. This...

As I was watching the game and noting the huge gap in talent it occurred to me that the fingers are pointed at the wrong folks. Of course PJ coached not to lose and Johnson is inexperienced as a head coach. However, the game has changed completely in the last three years and Coyle is still...

Time for a new book thread. I've picked up some great recommendations here through the years. 1. Natchez Burning Trilogy (Greg Iles) The author keeps it sharp through about 2700 pages over three books. Civil rights and the clash of a couple of powerful families over a fifty year period in...

He's not the reason that the gophers lost tonight. He is the reason that any game he refs becomes near drudgery. It's invariably all about him. He takes over every game that he officiates, ruining the flow and the experience for the players and the fans. He calls all physical contact (real...

that none of the three suspended players have announced that they are transferring?

I know there is some edict from above about removing physical contact from the game so that there can be more "flow." The solution is that the refs have killed flow in the name of restoring flow by endless foul calls. There were 45 fouls called in the gophers' game and I just checked the Butler...

I'm going to be in DC over the Thanksgiving weekend. Does anyone know of a sports bar in the DC area that will be a gathering spot for the Gopher/WI game? I tried a search on google and came up empty. Appreciate any info.

I've only read a few posts on the Louisville game thread so I don't know if the subject of the refs was covered. This is intended as a more general commentary. The game last night was nearly three hours. There was probably eight minutes of floor wiping that was very necessary for player...

Like a lot of people my first reaction to Rich was WTF. It was both surprise and skepticism. Then I started to read about him and I watched the nicely produced (as they all are) video that Bleed posted and I got a little bit jazzed about him. Like most hires, he's the anti-predessessor which...

I've never met Amelia Rayno and her coverage of the gophers this season seemed properly measured given the conflicting pressures of her job. I've been following her on twitter this week and she seems to be fighting this battle with a sling shot because of this little thing called journalistic...

I have been told be someone who has been checking flight plans that a private jet from the Indianapolis Executive Airport is scheduled to land at Holman today at 4:54. However, there is absolutely no way to know if Stevens is on that plane, so take it for what it is worth.

The first time I saw his facial expression I knew the gophers would win. He looked quite disinterested. I went on nbadraft.net and it frightens me that Shabbaz is projected in the vicinity of the Timberwolves. It would be just like us to draft him and try to put lipstick on that pig. He's...

I've been reading the gripes for years about the older fans not cheering loud enough and not getting off of their butts. How about you guys staying in your seats when Tubby's name gets called during the intros. The silent treatment certainly isn't appropriate. Booing is wrong. Respectful...

He recognized early on that Monson wasn't the right fit and had no patience for the excuse makers. He would have called Tubby out a couple of years ago when he first started pointing fingers.

Thanks to the premium seating program we have new seats this year. (The guy with whom I share seats wanted to move; I was happy to stay where we were.) The woman who sits next to me is very nice but she is driving me absolutely crazy. She has a fingernails-on-chalkboard voice and she screams...

Five years of mediocrity under Tubby. I'm ready to buy in. I told my wife that we almost never win in Champaign and we, for sure, never dominate there. I prefer my my kool-aid cherry flavored. On to Bloomington. This is very, very fun!

I was at the game tonight with one of my kids and I have a few observations, for what they are worth: 1. Welsh Ryan is a complete dump. Yes we have a facilities problem. At the very least Williams needs an upgrade and the new coach (Tubby is out of here, but more on that later...) will get a...

In the last decade all of us have suffered and we have spent a lot of time over analyzing this thing that we love so much called gopher basketball. Last night at the game a "close personal friend" said that we are getting sixty percent of Tubby, which is probably about true. That led to the...
