Better avoid St Thomas to rest up for that jaggernaut schedule.

It’s hard to get those wins when you don’t even play them (outside of the early B10 games they were forced to). I think there’s was one freaking game.

This is sad and pathetic.

Go Gophers!!

In business, you eliminate failing campaigns and re-allocate those financial resources towards more viable products.

Reaching a modest level of mediocrity doesn't even seem attainable at this point or in the near future. My current apathy for both programs matches our NC schedules so at least there is some symmetry.

It is always said that the coaches control this. With it happening in both programs, one of them with a seemingly competent coach- doesn't it feel a little like there must be some push from the administration in this direction?

another of the great mysteries surrounding Gopher Athletics:

where is Mark Coyle? What does Mark Coyle think about any of this? Does Mark Coyle give a rat's ass about anything other than Football?

does Mark Coyle really exist?

he might be the most invisible AD in major college sports.

It sounds like he's a good AD as long as he never needs to speak in public, hire a basketball coach, or navigate any changes in college sports.

I e-mailed AD Coyle after the release of the men’s basketball schedule to express my displeasure about the home non-conference slate. Somebody/some thing responded by thanking me for offering my opinion. I have seen him at a couple basketball games this year and—to your point—on the field at Camp Randall hugging PJ after the win.
