Eric musselman should have been hired as gopher coach (my opinion)…. We would already be in the NCAA tournament…….we are a long way from that with Ben Johnson, if we ever get there…..how much fun would it be for the Gophers to actually be Here! Ben is a good guy but in my opinion, will never...

This hire shows that Coyle cannot sell Minnesota to any quality coach looking for a Big Job. PJ was a good hire and time will tell if it is sustainable or if he will stay. It is much easier to turn a basketball program into a power than football. Coyle messed up by not hiring Musselman two...

After the Vikings get pounded by the Saints, the Vikings should hire PJ Fleck. PJ understands culture and is always stressing a player’s strengths vs weaknesses. His teams play loose with positive energy. The Vikings have too much talent NOT to be able to win big games. PJ took a team with above...

On Korzo’s program this morning he said reliable sources say Amir Coffee will NEVER return to the Gophers because he hates Pitino. hates his coaching and style of play and will never return. I asssume if he does not get drafted he can play in Europe or get a sniff in the D league. Korzo was also...

Norwood was by all accounts a womanizer, poor administrator, heavy drinker and certainly bad for Pubic relations for the U of M. Also, the fact he and President Kahler are tight does not bode well for the current leader of the U. However, Let's focus on the good... 1) Under Norwood Teague's...

Interesting video, see the link attached.... The only thing I really got out of this is the confirmation that young Richies National profile and reputation are rising fast.....with a a good B1G showing and NCAA tournament, Norwood better be ready...

Rivals.com has Norwood as a finalist for VT AD job. What a disaster if he leaves this early in his tenure.... I hope this is incorrect as his work has just begun here. Joel Maturi set us back a decade and we do not need a repeat...ugggh http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/241559591.html

It is early but based on my observations so far this is what I see: 1) Game WATCHABILITY- Plus one for Pitino Pitino ball will be a lot more entertaining! The style of play is a lot more fan friendly. Might provide some heart attack moments however, with poor shot selection or if we are...

I take back my previous thoughts that Mo Walker should consider following Coleman to a different situation. I heard Pitino on 1500espn tonight on Tom Pelissero's program. He talked at length about Mo Walker and others. Mo Walker has dropped 20 lbs with another 30 or so to go. He is working hard...

Not sure if I read this correct, but Iowa State may be on a 2 year probation for excessive phone calls. This includes the basketball program. It is unclear the exact penalties. However, could this FUD help gopher recruit some ISU JuCo prospects like 6-9 Richard Armadi and 6-5 Dustin Hogue from...

I listened to Korzo this morning and he is totally on board with this hire... He brings energy, a great pedigree, experience, and a hard work ethic to the Gophers. He also predicts that Pitino will be the best Coach in Gopher History winning mutlple NCAA Titiles (Not necessarlirly with...

Just heard tent on KFAN. He has a long and successful history with Rick Pitino in the NBA. Just like most of us, Trent is excited in what Pitino Jr brings to the program in style of play and enthusiasm. I think there is a very good chance TT will soon become a member of Pitino's coaching staff!

I just heard Patrick Reusse on 1500 ESPN---He hated the hire! Hates it...He will have a story in the Star-Trib tomorrow to support his ideas..... He thinks the only reason he got the job because of his Father.....

It seems the buzz now is that Tubby needs to be removed as coach,,, Other than the names Shaka Smart or Flip Saunders, who should be on out list of next coaches? Who would actually consider the job? I am thinking Flip is the most logicial choice. However, I am not certain Minnesota will be...

You all may not like the badgers or even like Bo Ryan. You may not like his attitude or how he works the refs. He somehow is able to get many extra "Homer" calls in Madison. He has the goofiest "look" of any couch in the country. His teams play a boorish style, and has few blue chip Athletes. A...

The little things often time is the difference between winning and losing. With this same team coached by Bo Ryan or Tom Izzo, the Gophers win at least 11 in the Big ten. A couple "little thing" examples that make a difference.... Poor discipline on defense- How do we leave a guy wide open for...

The beginning of Gopher Athletic dominance begins if the new AD is....... Bob Stein. He should be seriously considered for this job. I know Tony Dungy will be asked, but he has other things going on in his life now..... Bob Stein will lead the program out of the depths of mediocrity.

Dear Tubby: I know this is not professional hoops, but if this was, you would be fired immediately after this game. You have lost the team that you recruited and coached. You have not recruited players good enough to compete at the Big ten level. You do not have the assistant staff with the...

Bring on a NEW AD and a new Coach in Flip. It appears that he will be fired by the Wizards. If the reports are true, I hope the New AD and president will consider Flip for this position.....He could energize the fan base, bring a NBA perspective, and can most importantly energize the Fan base...

No Excuses. This team is Junk. They are clearly not prepared. they don't play with any intensity, they are not prepared to play against a zone, they make dumb turnovers, they don't box out, can't rebound, they can't shoot the three, the half court offense is pathetic and totally non-existent...
