JBMasterAngler Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 So, does junior Pitino make it through the whole season before getting fired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotch Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Oh probably. Of course if things unravel in Louisville his dad might be looking for a job so ya never know...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Personally, I think hiring him was well worth the gamble, but it should be with the understanding that it's an experiment with a small window of opportunity. First year went great, topping it off with the NIT. Should've been something good to build on. Last year, they looked terrible! This year, barring a miracle, they're going to be even worse!

rundrave Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Gophers are potentially going to get tired of hearing the words South Dakota this week. After the loss to USD, they play SDSU tomorrow and I think most people would argue that SDSU is a better team than USD. Not to say that guarantees a win for the Gophers or the Jackrabbits, but I wouldn't be surprised to see SDSU pull off the win. Then the Gophers play Oklahoma State in Sioux Falls, SD on Saturday. Could be a long week for little Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundrave Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 beatdown from SDSU this evening, they dominated from start to finish, and did it without their best player. Good news for gopher fans, there aren't any more D1 teams from South Dakota to play this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotch Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 That's good to know. Was in Mpls. that night and some friends had tickets. Luckily they didn't ask us to go so we ended up at Brit's instead. Going to be a long major winter sports season at the U methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean a long winter sports season the Men's Hockey team is leading the big 10 despite having a 7-8 record. Dotch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJ Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Not in the 51 years I've been following them. Still going to some games with my Dad but looking forward to the girls games more this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasineyes Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Love going to the girls games PLUS 15$ for tickets. Entertainment value just as good!! Dotch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotch Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I agree. When someone calls and asks if I'd like to use their tickets or go along, I always try to make it work. And I don't mind driving since they were kind enough to ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 0-10. Have they ever gone winless in the big ten before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotch Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Other than the Clem Haskins era when the games were vacated, forfeited or whatever, not that I can tell. There were 4 seasons when they won just one: '22- '23, '26 - '27, '28 - '29, and '32 - '33. I think I heard this is the worst start since the '22- '23 season. You can go back to look before the Barn was around here: http://www.gophersports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/m-baskbl-year-by-year-records.html Fun to look at. I see Johnny Kundla's name and remembered him fondly. Nice guy.. He was my instructor in a conditioning class I had at the U. Last I knew he was still alive.

O.T.C. Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 My big basketball buddy said " can't wait to get rid of Tubby's recruits" then Pitino will dominate until he moves onto a better program. I think he's lucky he had Tubby's recruits they at least got him a NIT title if that's correct ? Dotch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundrave Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I cant believe the few hundred fans that attended last nights game stormed the court. U of M mediocrity at its best. After the whole losing record football bowl debacle this fall I shouldn't be surprised. The box score says 10k fans attendance for last night, that's a pretty big stretch from I what I could see.

I think he's lucky he had Tubby's recruits they at least got him a NIT title if that's correct ? That is correct. In retrospect, firing Tubby at this point appears to have been a miscalculation on Teague's part. Tubby wasn't "his guy".Let's see how Little Richard's recruits do next year however. If they don't show marked improvement, someone else will have a job. Of course he may follow dad to UNLV anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotch Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Now, now, they may be poised to make it two in a row. I'm thinking I'd better get my season tickets for next year bought before they're gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotch Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 There went my season ticket plans! Dumb. They may get the ax permanently if the precedence of what happened to some on the football squad a few years back comes into play. May pave the way for Little Richard to follow Dad to his next coaching job, UNLV or wherever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
