One of the most disappointing things that has happened over the past two years is the migration of the low expectations crowd from the football board over to the basketball board. It's so pathetic to read these posts excusing poor performance based on history. I guess schools like UConn, Wisconsin, and Baylor should have just closed up shop because Minnesota was a superior program to all 3 historically. I guess Minnesota should be expected to compete for national titles in football with regularity because history shows that very few programs have won 6 of them.
Tubby is 6-21 in his last 27 Big Ten games and 2-10 in his last 12 Big Ten home games.
Tubby's best conference record after 5 years will be WORSE than Bo Ryan's worst conference record in his tenure at Wisconsin.
Tubby was not brought in to Minnesota to go .500 in the conference, much less perform similar to Dan Monson, he was brought in to compete fore conference championships. Thank god, the administration hasn't taken the view of basketball that many have of football or we would have hired a coach for 800K- 1 mil who "understands Minnesota".
I cannot stand the idea that Minnesota should somehow accept not being a Big Ten contender in revenue sports and the "fans" who are willing to accept/justify poor performance are certainly part of the problem.
