    Scoggins talks to four coaches anonymously about the Gophers job

    The crew here isn't going to like what they say about Williams Arena. But it's 100 percent accurate. https://www.startribune.com/fans-williams-arena-are-a-part-of-gophers-men-s-basketball-coach-s-challenges/600034105/

    Brutal stat

    Pro tip: Whatever the Gophers New Years resolutions were, they weren't good. Since the first of the year, the Gophers have won exactly 2 games (remember the first conference win against Rutgers happened in December). My opinion is that that is brutal even with all of the losses. I wanted to...

    Jerrance Howard

    So today new Illini coach John Groce said he's not going to retain Jerrance Howard moving forward. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/breaking/chi-groce-will-not-retain-howard-on-illini-staff-20120410,0,7140713.story Assuming there truly is movement on the staff, he's a guy Tubby should try...

    Hey Tubby, what about your walk-ons

    I preface this by saying that I don't know Chris Halvorsen or Kendal Shell, but I do know that walk-ons bust their tails in practice every day. I also know that from the stats that neither has played in more than a month. They played 1 minute against Northwestern at home and less than a minute...

    Big Ten records since 1/10/11

    Most teams have played 18 or 19 conference games plus whatever they played in last March's conference tournament. It isn't pretty folks. And this Gophers total includes the four straight wins before the horrible slide at the end of last season. Totals include the 2011 Big Ten Tournament 1...

    Worst stat of the game: 11,761

    Here's the stat that has to have Maturi and the administration most concerned: The announced attendance was 11,761. When the topic of attendance was brought up to some Gophers backers, the people I talked to claimed it would get better once Big Ten play started. The announced crowd for...

    What should the expectations be of this team now?

    I realize that the Trevor injury and the news that he is done for the season is still fresh, but I will pose this question: What should the expectations the rest of the way be for this team? There are certainly many people out there who believe the wheels will fall off and this team will finish...

    Wall Street Journal on Wisconsin non-conference scheduling

    Guessing some people here will like this: It may not look like it, but Saturday's Oregon State-Wisconsin game is a fascinating matchup: the most courageous program in college football—OSU's Beavers—against, well, the opposite. We're not talking about the teams' respective abilities: Wisconsin...

    The Big Ten the past four years

    I considered posting this on the "Why people are disappointed in Tubby" thread, but there was far too much number crunching involved. Obviously this past season was a disaster -- winning one game combined in February and March will leave a mark -- but I wanted to look at Tubby's entire tenure...

    Oklahoma fires Jeff Capel

    I'm a little surprised by this one. Thought he would have gotten a little more time. http://jeffgoodman.yardbarker.com/blog/jeffgoodman/sources_oklahoma_has_hired_jeff_capel/4383465

    Good officiating story

    There's obviously much complaining about officiating. Some of it is justified. Some of it probably a scapegoat mechanism. Here's a good story from The Columbus Dispatch on the topic of refs working too many games...

    Comparing Tubby with the other 2007 hires

    With at least some of the population frustrated or disappointed with where Tubby has the Gophers toward the end of his fourth season, I wanted to compare him with other hires that were made that season. In that offseason there were 11 coaching changes at Super Six conferences. I also looked up...

    Tonight is a different kind of challenge

    One of the things I'm really looking forward to tonight is to see how the Gophers respond to the physical challenge of WVU. While the challenge of Carolina was with the athleticism of the Tar Heels, tonight's game will feature hand-to-hand combat. This will be the closest thing the Gophers see...

    Very good story on Nebraska and the Big Ten

    Here's a behind-the-scenes story from the Omaha paper on how the Nebraska-to-the-Big Ten move went down. Very good detail and very interesting. http://www.omaha.com/article/20100830/BIGRED/708309872
