the gophers were thought to be a shoe-in for the big dance prior to the season's start. now, locals are comparing them to the worst gopher b-ball team -- a 1932 team; they are calling for monson's head; the gopher women b-ball team are the talk of the town (besides hockey, of course); at our church winter raffle 1st prize was two season tickets to the gopher men's b-ball, 2nd prize was four season tickets.
it hasn't been this low since the dutcher days when the players were raping woman (at least that team won!).
with that said i agree to a certain extent that they cover and/or possibley win today. they have the talent:
humphries -- top 5 hs players, mc donald's all-american, duke recruit (backed out to possibley go straight to the pros), and now, easily one of the best freshman if not one of the best players in the country.
boone -- top 25 hs player, all-american, n carolina recruit (transfered) not lived up to potential, yet, but has the talent.
johnson -- top 100 hs player, northwestern recruit (transfered) very solid guard.
bauer -- top 150 hs player, if returns to his fresh playing will be an all big ten player!
this team is loaded w/ talent! DEFINITELY not an 0-9 big 10 team!!! especially w/ the big ten in a down year! thus, the call for monson's head. today is an excellent opportunity, other than TWO facts bother me:
1. i hate investing on losers. and they guys are flat out finding ways to lose.
2. i wonder about their focus and/or confidence, if you don't believe -- you start to believe that.
i might play the ml SMALL, otherwise i'll wait for them to get their heads on staight.

I'm on the Illini! I feel this isn't the "Minny" of past years with all the "don't bet against them as home dog". They are just not that good a team this year and it should prove out today...hopefully for my sake. I like how Illini came back and won last game on road in tough environment..shows character!!

I for one wish he would have stayed w/duke.Take
him and his cocky old man into the pro's.This
whole team just sits around watching what he's
going to do.I'm sure thats why one of their
better players took off for Arkansas.Betting
wise,betting vs MN has made me some good coin
and I'm sure I'm not the only one.They'll
continue this trend throughout.Follow close.

i've heard that, but have personally, never seen it, and i've been around him personally. i agree, w/out him they might not be 0-9, but i think it's because the rest of the team tends to count on him a little too much. as a player i love him!! they probably wouldn't be 0-9, but they definitely would not be a better team imo. i understand your point though.

hargrove was NOT a good player; he was a decent player who had an attitude -- couldn't handle const criticism. moe was/is the player with a little bit of an attitude -- he resented humphries. good riddance imo.
