The pitchforks are out for Richard. The comments on Trib and Gopher Hole are very telling.

Must win game tonight, gentlemen. Must. Win.

Pretty self explanatory tonight, gentlemen.

I had us at the first 4 out before Iowa. A Iowa win would have put us at last 4 in.

Tonight's game features Indiana who is a last 4 out while we are not even in that conversation.

A win tonight puts us back to the last 4 out and Indiana out of the picture.

This is a BIG game.

Gophers win this one and beat Northwestern and it sets up a "All in" game vs Maryland.

Lose tonight and the dirt is on our grave. Both these teams are absolutely desperate for a win.

I said this 3 years ago... Does Richard have any clue in how to run a offense?

What the fuck does this team do? Can someone explain the system?

It used to be non stop balls to the walls getting in transition and chucking.

Now it's been slowed down some over the years and everyone just stands around until Oturu either takes half the opposition on or some launches a bad shot.

Fuck this offense is brutal!

Set some screen for Gabe and get him on the move for some catch and shoot attempts.

Fucking absolutely no movement.

This was EXACTLY what I thought of this team when the year started and they defied my odds.

Spineless, missed free throws, poor attitude, no communication, horrible shooting.

Absolutely brutal!

As someone said before, this would be one of the worst teams in CB without Oturu.

Gabe has been hot garbage all year. Carr is a major fart in the wind, Demir is as soft as a pile found in a baby diaper.

Absolutely embarrassing.

Richard Pitino is going to get canned imo. There is a TON of hate on him before this one started. Lots of boos.

I'm going to ride it out for you Richard but I think your time might finally be up.


Remember all the talk on Common, Berriro etc.. When we got Richard?

It was "This will just be a stepping stone for a couple years before he goes somewhere bigger" :lol:

Meanwhile most can't wait for him to be fired and Norwood turned out a perv.

Good lord, gentlemen. Good lord.

They aren't even fun to watch. Can't shoot, FT's are a joke, the bench is pathetic, silly turnovers. All staples of Pitino's time here.

Yeah. I really gave Richard some props this year. I thought they would be atrocious but they actually exceeded expectations. Now, they look like they may finish the second half of the year like they were who I thought they were.

Who is out there for a coach?

Bielien isn't coming here.

I still like Ben Jacobson. Any chance?

Names and thoughts?

Glad we avoided Musselman

I bet if you look up their less than 10 point losses, that number is under 50% for the year. Just brutal.

They’d probably be ranked if games were only 36 minutes.

Tubby 124-81 with 3 tourney appearances in 6 seasons

Richard 125-106 with 2 tourney appearances in 7 seasons


Pervy Teague must of been hammered when he made these moves.

The time is ripe for Coyle to strike on Shaka. We would finally have a chance at landing him and it's worth the risk imo.

Cripes I just saw Lil Pitino is 47-81 in BT play over his tenure. That's a .367 win % :shock:

I wouldn't keep him even if Oturu is back but there is absolutely no way Oturu doesn't go pro imo. This draft is so freaking bad and he isn't likely to go near this high next year imo. He gone.

I don't think Shaka is going anywhere. They just beat Texas Tech and have turned things around this season.

I haven't listened to KFAN in months and now I know why.

First off, it was that twerp "Johnny Athletic'" Fuck does Teh Tube AKA Teh Pump, hate listening to this nerd talk.

"Well ya know, Dan" was said the usual 43xs. It was absolutely absurd what was said about Richard Pitino.

Danny B said enough with the excuses for the guy and Gaard and Johnny dump in the pants went at nauseam about how Pitino should keep his job.

At one point Gaard and Johnny agreed and said "This isn't Duke, Indiana etc." We are not going to get much better. Oh what I high standard!!

I should of emailed these shit bags. Monson and Tubby were considered sub par here and all have a better win %. No assholes, we ain't Duke but we sure in the hell can expect more than this!

Dan goes on to say "Well hasn't the football program been worse over the years than football?" Both Gaard and Johnny shit stain say yes. Dan then says "Well by all accounts they should have gave up and kept Claeys and never went after Fleck"


It's about 3 years too late on this firing imo. I have a feeling he will be kept around one more year though. Why? I don't know but I think it will happen.

Smart is gone. No way he survives.

This is what the arena looked like a week ago 10 mins before tip off. He gone. Everyone is asking for his head.

Is that picture Williams Arena for their next game?

Reckless speculation: JB Bickerstaff will be the next Gophers coach.
