Barn Blurbs 4/2/2012
Posted on 02. Apr, 2012 by JF.
We’ll get around to reviewing the Golden Gophers 2011-2012 season at some point. Until then, we’ll be resurrecting Barn Blurbs, our occasional round-up of stories around the series of tubes about Gopher Basketball and college basketball in general. Hiring a coach is a lottery It turns out that any coaching hire is a 50-50 proposition, [...]

Playing for next year
Posted on 21. Feb, 2012 by JF.
For the optimists, there is always hope. The Gophers face three quality opponents in their last four games, and any combination of three wins should be enough to get them to the NCAA tournament. For the pessimists, the program is hopelessly broken, the Gophers may never win another game, and they should be in the [...]

Loss to Buckeyes shrinks Gopher margin for error
Posted on 15. Feb, 2012 by zipsofakron.
Holy Buford. The Gophers came into their contest against national powerhouse Ohio State with aspirations of upsetting a top-6 team, grabbing another signature win for their tournament resume and sending the Buckeyes packing for the fourth time in the last five games between the two teams at Williams Arena. Instead, Minnesota found itself on the [...]

People have been calling for Tubby Smith’s head since the Gophers were swept by an absolutely terrible Illinois team in his first season. I’d like to think that those people, as obviously [...]

Living, and more recently dying by the three
Posted on 09. Oct, 2011 by JF.
In 1986 the NCAA introduced the three-point line in college basketball, and it was in 1986 that the Golden Gophers 2010-2011 college basketball season would be doomed to failure. Despite having one of the best three-point shooters in the country, a series of injuries and unexpected departures left the Gophers unable to use the great [...]

The Anatomy of a Coaching Rumor
Posted on 29. Mar, 2010 by JF.
Summer is silly season in politics, and if the last few days are any indication, spring has to be the silly season in college basketball. Tubby Smith will be coaching at either Auburn (wrong), Georgia Tech (which never even had an opening), or Oregon (if Tom Izzo doesn’t accept the richest contract in college basketball [...]

Game 6 Review: Clutch slump continues
Posted on 29. Nov, 2009 by JF.
The Gophers now know who they are and where they are, and now they can learn and grow. This weekend’s 76 Classic didn’t turn out the way most people thought or hoped, especially after the win against Butler that is growing less impressive by the day (Butler barely beat UCLA and lost a nail-biter to [...]

Back by popular demand: “On Giving Thanks”
Posted on 26. Nov, 2009 by JF.
I originally wrote this last Thanksgiving. My fiance thought I should resurrect it for today. She is in charge of the sweet potatoes today, which includes, of course, marshmallow distribution. Needless to say, this is a small sacrifice to make, infinitely smaller than giving up marshmallows on the sweet potatoes. Luckily, everything that I wrote [...]
