Atlanta Journal mocks Gophs: Minn bless their hearts, think they can do better

[supadupafly]

per the AJC:

Among those who say this are presumably anyone who takes a look at the history of the Minnesota program. The Gophers had a good run from 1993-94 to 98-99 with four NCAA tourney appearances and a Final Four run but those records were officially vacated because of an academic cheating scandal under coach Clem Haskins. Throw out those tainted years, and the Gophers have made the tourney eight times in their history.

But the new coach can do better than Smith by mining talent in a state that produces a great player every decade or so and convince those players to stay home. Or the coach can lure top out-of-state talent to Minneapolis by assuring them they will improve their games if only because there won't be many days they will want to leave the gym and venture outside.

Go Gophers!!

this is under their opinion section and it is a blog by someone who actually goes by the byline "the hater". going a little over the top in your thread title by calling this something actually from the AJC. just my two cents.
