    What is an acceptable expectation for a Gopher Men’s Basketball Head Coach?

    This is what I want. Ok fine we might not get enough elite talent to beat top 10 teams, but literally never losing to a sub 100 team would be awesome

    A question Coyle/the new coach must answer

    I could not agree more on this. The U has been in my view VASTLY over concerned about the sports/education balance and how one plays off the other. I totally get it, the U is an academic institution, that's awesome, all in, but that doesn't mean sports can't play a big role in that. This...

    Indifferent to Indiana, but.....

    This is not everyone I understand, but I need to wager on these games to be really invested. I put my biggest bet if the year on the ND moneyline, I hope they blow out ol Cig so I can stop hearing about him being this all time great coach. I also put $10 on every underdog in non playoff bowl...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    Which is what I felt like on my posts ha. I also am not sure why service academy offenses are seen as bad? Navy and Army were 2 of the top ohh 30ish teams this year and had very effective offenses. To me at the end of the day that can be a very effective tool against the OSU/Oregon of the world...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    I apologize for all comments. We will be the best team in the country next year. It will be unfair how we have the best two quarterbacks in the country. We will be the first team in history to have all 4 Heisman finalists. Javon Tracy will be compared to Randy Moss. #CONVICTION 🤣 observations...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    I think your takes are all dumb too, let's call it even 🤣. Never once did I say this was a negative, we are screwed, dumb, etc move. I was making an observation that we added 3 RB recently who appear to be ready to produce guys. Along with a stud RB coming back logic dictates we are going to be...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    This feels like another year of "well we don't love the QB/WR room so we're going to be 4th in the country in runs per game behind the service academies". Added 3 rb to Taylor plus a blocking TE. We might be very boring next year. Not saying we can't be successful but not a lot of 48-45 games.

    Georgia Tech QB Zach Pyron Transfers to Minnesota

    I actually like Pyron more than most. Showed some nice flashes at GT behind a good QB in King. Yes I would've preferred a known quantity like Brosmer but I like that we have a PJF guy and now a backup/competition that has at least played at a P4 level.

    A qualifying list of potential replacements

    So you must not know the history here. Kevin Young is from Utah, best friends with billionaire Jazz owner/BYU grad Ryan Smith, and has a personal relationship with Danny Ainge. This wasn't a coaching search, this was Ainge and Smith telling the school, hey we have the money, this is our coach...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    I said this in the other thread but we need to fire him and bring in an established coach as an interim just to stabilize things. Beilein, Monson (I know I know but he's been a long time coach) Jarod haase Stanford coach the last few years. They're are names out there just for a few months...

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

    I didn't say this but to follow up, I meant just for the rest of this year with Beilien. If anything just to make us look respectable on the floor and give us some credibility. I don't want him long term.

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

    I know the odds of this are like 0.000001%. But honestly just put a call into Beilien, I know mid season coaching moves aren't a thing on college but he's sitting on BTN now, maybe we could talk him into a few months and see what happens.

    Alabama AD to reevaluate nonconference slate after CFP picks

    So your thought is to just use recruiting rankings and don't even play the games? If you took away the media/recruiting rankings and put bama's team in Illinois jerseys, there wouldn't be 1 person complaining about this team not being in. And that's the issue.

    Final Field of 12 projection (what I think committee will do & what I would do)

    I also agree with your take, and if they put in Bama over SMU I would absolutely start to get a plan for forfeiting championship games. If you get penalized for losing an extra game by 3 on a 56yd FG then there is 0 reason to risk playing that game ever again.

    The future of championship games is in jeopardy - Yahoo Sports

    I think we just need to keep expanding. Let's make it 128 teams. That way they can play until March 1st then that can roll right into the 256 team basketball tournament! Also with this expanded field we will have auto bids in the final 8 for Bama OSU UGA ND, it's not their fault if they lose...

    How low?

    I am not saying he is 100% the only issue, but CBJ is by far the biggest issue for bball. He's like 95% of the issue. I'm not saying we have stacked programs across the board but football, volleyball, women's bball, mens/women's hockey softball soccer CC are all at least stable to good...

    How low?

    Couldn't agree more. I was a season ticket holder for 4 years during a rough time. I stuck it out, I watched my entire life every game religiously. Tonight I watched 3 college games...and 0 seconds of the Gophers. At this point I'm just waiting for next year, there's nothing to watch here. CBJ...

    CFP Playoff Committee shoehorns in Alabama at the last minute for the second year in a row ... this year with 3 losses...

    This was never a good idea on my book, 12 is/was too many. Make it 8, your top 5 Champs and 3 wild cards. Regular season doesn't really matter. Bama OSU Oregon those teams are just getting in unless they go 500. There is so much bias "who would be favored " great Bama and OSU have more 5* guys...

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I also think this is a good thing to remember. Roster limits likely mean a lot more movement out. Seems likely 20ish guys transfer out.
