You gotta think that Thorson has been working the phones/portal.

 

[Go Gophs]

Great news. Now bring your talent with you. U of M, pony up the bucks, buy the corvettes, get the girls and hand them the c+ grades, let's win for once.

Would be great for him to bring Ali with him, but I think he'll get the CSU job. Thorson and Niko back on the bench together should do just fine.

FUCK YA!!!

I'm actually very excited for Ali there, if he gets the job.

it took me a bit to realize Ali was UNI kid who hit pull up 3 in the tourney with 30 seconds on clock with UNI up by 1

Perhaps there will be a softer and more hesitant version of that after the first loss.

 

[Scottsdale Gopher]

Coyle's ability to get this done without any drawn out "search" is additional evidence he was not given full autonomy last time.

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

I am far more positive and excited for this hire than I ever was for (redacted).

 

[Holy Man]

Praise the Lord!

Now and forever.

 

[salzie]

I have honored my commitment, I signed up for Dinkytown athletes

This is great news for the short term future of this forum. Medved seems like a pretty popular choice so we might even see some positivity around here for a change. If he can bring a few players with him and make some nice portal additions we might even see.....optimism start to creep back in.....

The basketball board might actually be fun again.....
