Joel Maturi is the bigger problem. He has ruined both the football and basketball programs. Give Joel the boot.

Gophers win over Va Tech shows me Gophers will be fine even without Mbakwe. No reason the Gophers can't make it back to the Big Dance.

Maturi needs to go. Maturi is earning an incredible amount of money to run the Gophers major sports programs into the ground. I hope Gopher fans get vocal and chant loudly at games to Fire Maturi as this might force the issue or at least wipe the smirk off of Joel's face.

"After a deal in which he agreed to do 100 hours of community service and stay out of trouble without admitting guilt, he was allowed to play in Minnesota." http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2011/01/trevor_mbakwe_g.php Just wondering if this latest incident will mess up his deal in the Miami...

Unbelievable, we endured Trevor, Royce and Al's suspension last year and now Devoe. Who the heck is babysitting these kids. Maturi and Tubby have to take some blame for the lack of discipline.

I don't recall seeing his name mentioned as a possible coach, so I wanted to throw his name out there for discussion. I think he'd be a good coach and was being discussed for the Michigan State job not long ago. If we could land Dungy, Gruden, Mariucci or Leach, I'd be very happy. Otherwise...

As a lifelong Gopher fan, I've never disliked an AD more than Maturi. Perhaps, other ADs were equally incompetent, but he has been my least favorite AD. His record in football and basketball are bad, and about the worst for any AD that has been around as long as Maturi. I've already done...

Kind of weird how the Big Ten now has 12 and the Big Twelve has 10. I think Big Ten is too established to ever care about reconciling their name to their actual number, but the Big Twelve was once the Big Eight so it seemed reconciliation to actual number was important to them. Since the name...

Tubby and Maturi are not on same page. Tubby makes decisions only to be thwarted by Maturi. Case in point, is the Jimmy Williams saga that resulted in a million dollar judgment against the U because of a communication failure between the two. This season showed that the two don't see eye to...

http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?section=news/sports/college/football&sa=NCF&eid=5216409 How bad is this? While it doesn't sound like a huge deal, I thought Maturi wanted an absolute clean program. Getting caught even on a secondary violation doesn't speak well of the University. Never...

First Oto and then Maverick. Seriously, just bank the scholarship and bring in some walk-ons who probably are just as talented like Stark. We really don't need D2 talent tying up scholarships for four or five years.

Unfortunately the trial is in June, so the Gophers still don't know if Trevor will be playing next year. What is the Gophers contingency plan if Trevor doesn't return? Do the Gophers just bank the scholarship for 2011 or are there some better options.

Weber appears headed to being named starter. I wonder if Gray will be moved to wide receiver so that he can get more playtime.

I seem to recall some chatter there may have been some frustration with Maturi by some of the players on the team. Not just by Royce and Trevor, but some others too. I can't repeat the epithet that seemed to be hurled Maturi's way as this is a family website :) I wonder how deep seated the...

Cory doesn't want to be here, Harrison Barnes doesn't either and Royce does. Royce is a hero in my book for wanting to play for the hometown team when he could play just about anywhere, lobbying Rodney Williams to play here, and his vocal support for the program, and he's served more than...

I've visited threads that I either loved or hated and then sought to rate the thread but it was already pre-rated (though I never rated it) and I can't change it. I've found threads I hated, rated 5 stars and vice-versa. Am I doing something wrong or is it just a flaw in the program causing...

The Gators fans are pretty ticked off they didn't land Oto. I heard Oto is the next Robbie Hummel.

All year long, most on this board felt our chances of getting Cory weren't too good. All of a sudden the Gophers are meeting with Maurice Walker, and some think this means Cory is coming here. If the Gophers were Cory's top choice, I think he would have already announced. I think he's waiting...

Gophers nine point win over Butler was worst loss for Butler. Duke was only two points better.

I do WANT Tubby to stay, but I won't lose any sleep worrying about him leaving. I was very excited when we first got Tubby, but frankly I expected the program to be much further along by now. Tubby has not proven to be a great recruiter. His best players are Monson holdovers: Johnson...
