Three good wins. All on the road. Granted these are nit games and not NCAA touney games but quality road wins for sure. So where is minngg or Art now? It makes you wonder about people who say they are gopher fans but never seem to celebrate the successful days....you don't see a post or a message at all and then one loss and they are all over the board.
 

minngg is STILL at his wife's hockey game, I'm sure. That game will last until the next Gopher's loss, ironically.
Where's "millions2spare"?
 

They're in the mourning phase. Been a rough stretch of games for them with all the winning and all. They just need time to recuperate and they'll be back in full force as soon as we lose a game or there is any hint of negativity around the team.
 

minngg is on a different site on gamedays. Duh.
 

I have all those guys on my ignore list so I don't see their posts anyways. I wish more people would do the same, then maybe they'd get the hint and leave.
 


Minngg only comes out after a loss to attack Tubby. So nice to not see him for three games. If we win the NIT I'm hoping he will just go away.

Wishful thinking. They're always there, lurking in the weeds, waiting to pounce.

I'm just going to enjoy the fact that I can stand being on the site right now without having to wade through all of the repetitive, negative vitriol that is usually here during the team's struggles. Go Gophs!
 

This thread is like looking in the mirror and saying "Candyman" 3 times.

Oh crap...now I've moved it up to the top.

lol! Candyman is an old horror flick. if you said his name three times looking into the mirror, you would summon him. He's basically saying this thread is just summoning up the negative posters we hope to see go away.

Amen brother! Winning to these guys is like Deep Woods Off to horseflies.

Sorry. Yeah I suppose you are right. Don't kick a hornets nest, etc. Oh well it has been pretty nice to not have them on for a while. Really badger fans anyway.
 

I sort of feel like some of the people who haven't shown up might just be the ones on their "I don't accept mediocrity" high horse, so wins in the NIT will hold no meaning for them strictly because we are in the NIT and the fact that we are here at all means the season was a failure, so they don't care anymore. Unfortunately for them, they are missing a nice string of wins and a lot of signs that the team will be better next year. I know I'm having a good time watching our Gophers storm the NIT!

To be honest, I think minngg really does want to see the program succeed, he is just utterly convinced that Tubby is the main problem here and we would be better off with a different coach.

However, I am pretty sure Whathavewedone
is just one of those pissed off Kentucky fans who
derives some weird pleasure from watching
Tubby Smith's teams
lose basketball games.

Art hasn't been quite so bad, he doesn't make every single one of his posts about how much the coach sucks, that said he is quite negative on the whole and I quickly tire of him as well.
 

"Whathavewedone" is indeed a Kentucky fan. I'm pretty sure he's the guy that started some website solely dedicated to running Tubby out of Lexington...I kid you not. He's really obsessed with his Tubby hatred in a really unnatural way. He has issues for sure. I'm actually not sure why he's allowed to continue to post. We all know he is not a Gopher fan by any stretch. He offers nothing to the board.
 

I'm glad the Gophers are playing much better, getting valuable experience for the future, and headed to New York, but let's not pound our chests toward Badger fans. The Badgers aren't exactly stinking it up (Sweet 16 of the NCAA) right now. Let's enjoy the Gophers' recent improved play and hope that it serves as a legitimate building block for 2012-13 and beyond.

the original post was tounge in cheek towards art vandelay and mingg who often act like badger fans and not gopher fans. it was not really a post to real badger fans, just the fake gopher fans who only bash. it's clear that some on the hole are always noticably absent after wins. its interesting.

Respectfully, so the best thing to do is bait them to come back?

Agreed. The attacking of some of these people is disgusting sometimes. I do disagree a lot with them, but seriously? Why lower yourself by resorting to stupid "in your face" threads and talking about them everytime the Gophers win instead of that the Gophers won.

It is getting just as bad now going the other way. Let's just enjoy what the Gophers have done and quit with the stupid stuff.

Agree

Yeah, I disagree with those posters as well as a few others a lot of the time, the constant negativity of some posters is annoying, and it makes me wonder how it's possible to even enjoy being a fan of a team when you predict doom and gloom every year/game/half. While I'm not afraid to express my disagreement, I try to avoid simply calling out posters when I'm right and saying, "What now?" I'd rather see the Gophers win than simply be proven right in an argument, but then I usually lean toward making more sunny, optimistic predictions about how the Gophers will fare in a game or a season, so when the Gophers are successful, it usually coincides with me being right. :)
 

I think MN has had some good wins over the last 10 days or so. Hope they can win a couple more. Bodes well for them for next year...

I understand what you are saying, but obnoxius little turd, badger_inohio'sshadow has make it his mission to let everyone know that he's only here to talk Badger sports and if people here want to talk about the Badgers, he'll be front and center, because the comedy is just "too good". He's not here to inflate his fragile self ego, though. Funny how he's gone like a fart in the wind when the Badgers lose, but he's beating on the door like a Jehovah's Witness when they win. Pure coincidence.
