Sid Hartman: Firing Tubby Smith would be a big mistake for Gophers

[WorkingMyTailOff]

I think we can rule out Sid as the donor who wrote the check.

Haha! Belly laugh.

"The Tom Eye-zoes"

Straight from the mouth of Sid himself...

 

[Bad Gopher]

Sid's next column is going to write itself.

 

[THE SCOUT!]

Sid was right about Mason

 

[beavergopher]

Geniuses!!!!!!!!!

How soon till he is saying we should hire Bobby Knight?

Sid's next column is going to write itself.

Don't they all?

 

[FireDaveLee]

I particularly loved when they said "Two more questions," and then the one guy, called upon by Teague, asked about the buyout amount, and as soon as Teague answered, Sid blurted out his next 35 second rambling question.....

 

[GopherHomer]

Between Sid and the incessant whining about the buyout number, you learned all you need to know about our media at this press conference. Who wastes more money - The U with their buyouts or the Strib with their bi-weekly paycheck to that incompetent old man?

 

[Buttcheeks McGaffigan]

Sid was right about Mason

Hiring Brewster was the problem not firing Mason.

Sid has always been a *&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#bag of the highest order. Now that he's an old codger, he's downgraded to *&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#bag and gasbag all at the same time.

Sid is quite possibly the highlight of the day.

 

[StCroix]

I honestly felt bad for Sid. By this time, he has already forgot the presser and is on his way for a Manhattan and a silver butter knife steak with his close personal friends. He gets away with a lot here in the TC...probably deservedly, but he has lost his mind a while ago IMO.

 

[Section2]

Not deserved. It's time for gopher fans to say ENOUGH with Sid Hartman. Kill should pull his access and stop doing sports huddle. Sorry DL. Kill can call into barriero and get better questions and exposure. This is a joke.

Sid dosen't know/has never known

per Sid:

Well, by firing Smith, all of the work that has been done recruiting one of the greatest crop of in-state high school players in memory for the Class of 2014 will go out the window, and a new coach will have to start all over.

Memo to my friend, University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler: You will make a big mistake if you allow Smith to be fired and will pay a big price if you do.

Go Gophers!!

Do you remember this winter when you could't find any chapstick ? It's because Sid had bought up every stick in the metro area. Sid has been kissing up to every Gopher coach since the Truman administration. He was wrong then and again he is wrong now. Let us all remember when Sid told us that moving to the dome would be the best thing for Gopher football!! Sid's kissing up is used as a standard for all others in his business. Who ever the next coach is (Flip), Sid will be trying to kiss his a-- and telling all of us what a great hire it was. Sid would be laughable if he wasen't so pathetic !

I know Sid is old, but he sounded drunk at the press conference today, really Sid it is time to hang it up, you are not relevant anymore.
