Go Gophers!!

Not trying to trivialize, but it looks like a Christmas card more than a hand written note??? My assumption is a lot of alum's got something like this.

Props to Rich for putting SOME thought into it and personalizing it rather than having a prefab'd sticker or type on it.

I'd say it looks like a Christmas card that includes a hand-written note.

Looks like a hand written note on a Christmas post card.

It's a form letter that goes out to everyone named Trevor who's playing pro ball in Europe. Nothing to see here.

It means Trevor is getting his 7th year. I just knew it.

It appears Coach is telling Trevor that they will win the BigTen regular season, and conference tourney crowns, and he is thanking Mr. Mbakwe for help. What else can two exclamation points mean?

Thanks to coach Pitino for getting it done in his first season...

Did anyone see Esposito's tweet replying to Trevor?

Oh, dear.

I don't even get it, is Esposito upset Trevor thanked Pitino? Or complimented him?

Maybe he's just thanking him, after all Mbakwe did play for the staff Espo was part of, i don't think there's any fire where you guys think there's smoke

Yeah, I don't think he was doing anything but also thanking Mbakwe for his contributions to the program.

That's what I thought, I was just trying to figure out what people were even commenting on.

I just thought it was really strange to jump in on a conversation between Pitino and Trevor, especially with a statement as brief and awkward as that.

Esposito kinda seems like a different guy. I think he got into some twitter war about the Gophers last year. Not something you want a coach doing, that's for sure.

lol

Here's my take... Coach E is following one of the #'s that Trevor used (maybe Gophers), he gets a copy and thinks Trevor has sent it directly to him and is talking about his team and E thanks Trevor.

And his tweet to Brewster ripping the U. Which he then went on to delete.
