Is Borton on the hot seat yet?

Well, there's a discussion raging on short street. Some want Pam fired for accepting the WBI bid instead of the WNIT bid.

I want her fired for missing three consecutive NCAA tournaments.

Borton is untouchable. The U is terrified of a lawsuit for firing her. There would be riots in Uptown.

I will admit I don't follow WBB like I did a few years ago in part because I hate Borton but can you explain why?

If the coach sucks he/she should lose his/her job. I don't get why anyone would sue, she isn't performing.

It is easy to dislike a coach that does not recruit the Metro player of the year. Here is hoping that she gets canned.

2 questions:

1. if the lady gophers win this tournament, will a large banner be raised to the roof of the 'barn' to honor this achievement?

2. if the lady gophers win this tournament (or at least have a strong showing against their powerhouse opponents), will pam get the lucrative contract extension that she so richly deserves?

Would there be any more memorable moment in Minnesota sports history than a thrilling run to a WBI championship?

Young girls all across the country, from the first time they touch a basketball, dream of one day taking the court in pursuit of the coveted WBI title. This is the stuff that legends are made of.

Don't be surprised if they do win it that a banner (WBI) is raised in Williams Arena. The field is horrible. This, after the WNIT offical said Minnesota was on the invite list.
