Huge regrets that we didn't get there for that. We'd been in Kansas City the weekend before but didn't think we could get away for the regional, with work commitments and the like. So short sighted!
Yeah, we were there too. Center court for two great games. And three days nonstop party on the Riverwalk! As a lifelong Gopher BB fan and alum who went to all the home games and some of the road games for 30+ years, it was the absolute best! Nothing else even compares. Unforgettable.
I was there too, driving 18 hours from the Cities with my buddies. The games were legendary, the partying non-stop and the food and weather were incredible. I'll never forget going down there, those were some of the best sporting events I've ever watched (and I was at Games 6 and 7 in the '91 Series). THAT is what I want Gophers fans to experience again, but we have to hold the powers that be to account for creating a program that's set up for success.
That could have been said--and was said--the day he was hired. Hearing that news when it broke is still one of the most shocking things I've ever experienced.
I mean, it wasn't like the 35W bridge or my dad dying--which happened within five weeks of each other--but there are some sports things that shock you, admit it or not. When Ganglegate broke, when Korey Stringer died: those were shocking news. Similar to the news of the academic scandal, I was overcome by an overwhelming feeling of doom when they confirmed it was going to be Ben.
I probably mentioned this at some point in the thread but my initial reaction was, "why the hell are they hiring an assistant before the head coach?".
I remember that!
Will do that, also will mention there was about a 27% chance of that occurring on the road!
Nice to see a couple of the stalwarts responded to your call
I admit I'm surprised with the W.
I know what woulda shoulda coulda is, but if mitchels little 10 footer had rolled 6” either way against WI this is a different season. Perfectly designed missed FT play. The effort is always there!
Tell your friends that about 25% of your posts are liked.
So, you’ve been against him from the beginning, before he even coached one game. At least you’re honest about your bias.
Ok. You're here for a popularity contest. Got it. Makes sense as your bb takes aren't great.
This program is full of woulda coulda shouldas to their core. Win the game for a change and this has value. Stop being the little brother in every interaction.
Beating the worst team in the conference is a bare minimum requirement not a game changer.
What does that say about the team to the East then?
Because Wisconsin lost to them? I guess when you're in 1st place and ranked 13th, and have a long history of making the NCAA tournament, you have a little more rope to lose a clunker than when you're 10-38 trying to get to a 4th year.
Not for these fans.
LOL! Yes, I am lonely and need friends. Would you please come and sit by me during a game?
It also makes you a target for every other teams beat
