Where is Shaka?

Those weasels are trying to phase those out. They're down to like 3 $5 footlongs on the menu. Now after a month of $5 footlongs in Febru"any", special subs for the month of March are a $6 Buffalo Chicken sub and a 6-inch $3 oven roasted chicken sub. Something's going on. Rant over. Seacrest out.

I'm still mad they cut the bread a different way...the contents always seem to fall out when I am eating.
 


Why are we sure he's not going to UCLA?

Two reasons:

1) Louisville sports talk radio had USA Today guy on last night. They were talking about the UCLA job. Guy was adamant that Shaka is not going to UCLA.

2) Bob Loblaw hasn't seen him in So Cal yesterday or today.
 

I just saw a Smart car heading North on 90/94 (toward MPLS), I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
 

Reading the VCU forum, you would think leaving VCU for Minnesota would be like going to a D2 program compared to theirs. Not one of those posters talked about what may be the most attractive attribute to coming to Minnesota...coaching in the greatest conference in the nation. Sorry, the A10 is not even close to the B1G. One poster said he would eat a gopher if he came here and another guaranteed he wouldn't come here. Its fun reading the other side.

They said the same thing about Teague.
 

If you were a coach thinking about making such a big move, wouldn't you want to come check out the campus/facilities first?

I saw that, and they were talking on a Smart phone until the car hit the ditch and did a Flip.
 

VCU will not like us very much if we end up with the Smartster, after taking N.T. from them.

Reason #2 has me sold.
 



I am on 24/7 alert at Hector International and the Jet Center in Fargo. No sightings, and my lookout at The Northern in Fargo reports the same, so he is not up here traveling through or meeting here, YET!!! (Do I need a lookout at the Jefferson Lines Bus Depot?

what about the amtrack depot on main?

Fool them once, shame on us. Fool them twice, shame on them. What is it if we fool them 4 times considering we have already taken Teague, Benedict, and Ellis?
 



If you look at Shaka Smart's twitter (https://twitter.com/coachsmartvcu), he hasn't posted anything in a year and a half. I think it's obvious that Teague made this decision then and Smart has been avoiding Twitter ever since...
 


Found him. He's enjoying the roller coaster at Mall of America with a wedding party.

Yes!


BTW: This is perfect.

Shaka has already had B1G offers. Obviously, VCU fans realize the B1G is a good conference after the beat down we suffered against Michigan.
 

Can someone bring some money (small bills and quarters preferred) to Sex World? I'm trying to keep the curtain drawn but am running low on funds. Would hate to lose our coverage of the Sex World parlour. Assuming one of you has the Minneapolis public library staked out? The new one on Hennipen. Give me a couple thirteen, fourteen hundred bucks in singles and I'll ensure Gopherhole is the first to know when, not if, Shaka shows up here.

Replacement Gopher, you are doing gods work...you are doing gods work.

Go Gophers!!
 

Okay guys, I lost my spot in line at the Vu, but I can confidently report that Shaka Smart is not in Sex World. I looked everywhere and didn't see him. I even paid a buck to see what was behind the curtain. He is not behind the curtain. I'll continue to periodically check though.

Your dilligence is commendable.

I love a good coaching search!
 


At the risk of contributing to this unhealthy frenzy Gopher fans seem to have whipped ourselves into, I have one simple (but important quesion):

Has there been ANY reliable information on where Shaka Smart is right now?

(and yes, I've read the highly entertaining thread about him checking out the giant hot dog buffet at the Vu)

When is the last time anyone has seen or heard anything from him?


Why do you guys think Chaka Kahn would make a good basketball coach? Just because she had a couple hits in the 70's and 80's. And why do you keep spelling her name with an "S"? I'm confused.....yet again.
