SUCH a fitting way to end the season. Less then 50 pts once again. Couldve had last shot and turn it over. By the way i hope they dont make the tourney, because there is NO WAY IN HELL a 9th place team in ANY conference deserves to get in the tournament.

How do you bring back Tubby Smith after this year? HOW?

Scoreless over final 2:55. Can't grab a rebound or take care of the ball. 17 T.O.'s and no bench points.

Thattaboy Rodney, more turnovers and fouls than points. We'll never forget you. Not sure that the RPI, big wins, or SOS can overcome the terrible finish down the stretch by this team. I wouldn't invite them, they don't deserve it.

We sure didn't get the Tubby I expected when we signed him years ago. How about someone on the bench that can draw up an out of bounds play.....anyone. I can't imagine them getting into the Big Dance the way the 2nd half of the season went. But if they do, I'll be rooting for them to win, but I'll be picking against them in my NCAA March Madness brackets.

They did give it away today. If they make the NCAA, they will be lucky to win one game.

I believe they have lost 11 of the last 16 games.

Terrible for the talent they have.

Maybe Tubby wanted to save his guys for the big NCAA run. HA.

Tubby may need to go. I really thought when he came to the Gophers we would be much better.

To sum up the gophers this season in one sentence: They might not make the NCAA tournament, and they knocked off a no 1 seed this year.

That pretty much says it all.

A little explanation: They have raw talent, sure. They even have hustle. but they don't execute for beans, and their silly mistakes are something that a middle school C team would not even make. They make a lot of those kind of mistakes...

For the record I think anyone who says tubby is a bad thing for gopher basketball needs to give some pretty dang good reasons. Look where we were before he came in...

I don't root against the gophers, but we were betting at lunch on how they would blow the game. I bet steal and lay up or dunk for Illinois, buddy said they would never get the ball in bounds.

Tubby needs to hire an NBA assistant coach to get an out of bounds play. He also needs to hire someone to teach him a new offense that can get the ball to his best players in good positions to score.

I drank the 15-1 koolaid and jumped hard on the bandwagon after the first Michigan State game.

Nobody skipped class, stole jeans from Macy's, quit the team, contacted ex's who had restraining orders, or got injured for long periods of time.

Here is an excuse for Tubby, Illinois pretty much had a home game.

Where we were before he came? In the exact same place! An occasional trip to the NIT, good in non conference against american U and south dakota st, and HORRIBLE in the big ten. Its exactly the same as it was when Dan Monson left. Tubby has always been over-rated and we have seen it first hand for 6 years now.

The Clem days are a distant memory. The basketball program is on its way to becoming as big of a joke as the football program is. Fire him now and get someone in there with passion. Tubby's fire is obviously out.

If you only look at the record and not the details, sure. We're in the same place. kinda....

Our recruiting has improved a bunch with Tubby though.

What I see missing from the gophers is once we have the raw talent we can't make them actually execute.

Perception is reality in this world, and if tubby is overrated, so be it. Still helps recruiting.

Slab, if they have talent and can't execute,they play scared, and struggle to prepare,etc...sounds like horrible coaching to me, period!

Which is why one could keep the figurehead that can recruit, and surround him with people that can coach and motivate.

I agree that the coaching aspect isn't awesome... that is glaringly obvious. But getting rid of tubby would be a detriment to the recruiting talent.

I don't see much of a good answer here though. Rock (us) Hard Place

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
