Tubby is out at Minnesota

[Groin_pull]

Bo Ryan to Minnesota.

Will never happen. After all, Bo has that pension waiting for him.

[MerrittsMustache]

Not always...

If a coach stays long enough and turns enough jobs down.  IE Mark Few, it will change.  But it will take time.

Few was linked to Oregon and Arizona recently.

I sort of agree... but there are a lot of media members who are idiots when it comes to this stuff.

Several media members last year had no idea that Buzz made so much money at MU. They thought OK would just come in and buy him out. They seemed shocked at how much MU actually pays him.

You are correct. Not only is the intellectual heft of many national media members not what they would have you believe it is, but neither is the drive to actually obtain correct information from which an accurate story can be based. I believe a pervasive attitude is that if one guy reports something, it must be true.

That is why Rosiak was such a valuable source of information when he was on the beat. He.knew what he was talking about, and did the work to get the story correct.

CBS guys at it again.
Buzz is going to be a busy man next year trying to coach both Minnesota and UCLA.

Realistic -- yes it could happen.  Will it?  No and CBS agrees with that...

Funny though, that article sounds no different than Scoop.

That's because "journalism" in the age of twitter requires nothing. All you need to do is make some stuff up, toss a vague "sources say" in there, put it on twitter, and voila, story.

Gary Parrish and Goodman are a couple of tin-foilers.

Keep in mind, everytime we click on their link, they get paid a bit more by their advertisers.

So, anyone wondering why these guys, in the age of the internet, float these flaming rumors?

They're just bleacherreport with better PR

[Blackhat]

These guys are making Andy Katz seem tame.

[KenoshaWarrior]

This team cant win a sweet 16 game cause it has about 900 distractions each year.  This is ridiculous

[Groin_pull]

You what's pathetic??? None of us are allowed to enjoy this run, because...once again...these ugly coaching rumors are starting up.

I'm REALLY beginning to dislike college sports.

It is ridiculous.  And too hard to ignore.


LW and Pilarz needed to do a better job of keeping the direction of the program issues in house.  The blood is still lingering in the water due to these media types hanging onto this.   Needed to work with Buzz better, not come in with what seems like (from some of LW's quotes) a "new sheriff in town" attitude.

 Hopefully the fences are mended and this presumption of discord is a year old.

Even the majority of Twitterverse thinks Buzz to Minnesota is a step down and laughable.

Well we've got twitterverse behind us, too bad Buzz hates twitterverse.     

[KenoshaWarrior]

Can somebody tell me why we do this every year.  So hard to ignore.  How many weeks will this take till it is over again

[LAZER]

Anyone hear Buzz on Van Pelt?  Sounds like he addressed UCLA rumors.

Not really. Sounded like a non-answer answer.

[tower912]

Missed that interview.   Would somebody post the link as soon as it is up?

Never mind.   Here it is.  

"there are peoples lives involved here.   My family, my assistants.......That is why I don't participate in these discussions."

Buzz-speak for   MU is getting ready for the sweet 16 against Miami and nobody in the program needs this kind of speculation. 

[WellsstreetWanderer]

What's he supposed to say? Thought his answer was the correct one. Has his eye on the goal this year and his commitment to players their families and his plus MU program

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Mbakwe just got another year of eligibility

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

This is an interesting opening. Big 10 vs NBE. While Minn is certainly not a better program than MU, the question is does Buzz want to compete in the NBE or the Big 10. Buzz has said very little about the NBE. This to me is much more probable than Buzz to UCLA.
