I don't think you can say that just because someone predicts a split that the entire fan base has set a low ceiling for this team.
If we play our game we should win both of these games. Is Bernstine out for this week? That would be impactful - not an excuse but definitely a key player.
And this is not a push back on whether or not we need a coaching change. But every comment doesn't need to be flipped into a pro/con on the issue.
Based on the reason they were let go why would we want the former gophers on campus? I don't see them fitting into Bubba's philosophy on integrity and character. However, I do believe in second chances and I guess that's up to the staff to decide.
Hate feeding the trolls but ...the reason the teams "were down" is because they lost games and UND won theirs. UNI was not a quality win in 2016 for example. A nine game winning streak says something but haters are always haters.
Or just change it all together and let every athlete play 5 years and do away with redshirting - most students aren't graduating in four years anymore anyway.
Crandal not the stud we need him to be.
Shanks needs to stay within two feet of basket and just stuff it.
Dirk needs ti take it to the next level (he can).
The answer to "Why" can be found by following the money. Less staff = lower overhead = higher profits for Forum Communications. No amount of complaining in GF will have an impact - it is inevitable.
