How shocking....a player not abiding by school rules. Wow, it's been years since something like this has happened!

Shocked! And thank God we were recruiting high class individuals like this, not like we have a sketchy past or anything.

Sounds to me like the kid's just getting ready for college. Isn't that what "prep" school is for?

March 6, 2008  01:58 PM ET

He'll wind up at Michigan......

Sounds like a Hawkeye for sure! Make room in the Johnson County jail.

Too bad for Tubby, Memphis should be at the top of this guy's list now!!!

March 6, 2008  03:47 PM ET

Well, that is if he was let go for a felony!!!

Ok dudes, the chap was flunking advanced calculus, we can't have that can we?

March 7, 2008  08:29 AM ET

Maybe Sampson can give him a call

March 7, 2008  12:18 PM ET

He probably shot himself realizing he was going to be coach by Tubby

Well, as I told you fools that hired tubby, he is a joke, as i look back at my comments in november, I stated he would win against those junk non conference teams , but would faulter in the big ten, get used to it, ten loss tubby at his best, i don't care if he has a good recruiting class coming in, like most have you have stated in his defense, do you guys think that nobody else will recruit, he will bring the gophers some win's but he'll never bring the gophers a championship, maybe in the div 2 league, maybe...but you guys are in awe of his presence, because you gophers don't know how to act with a 10 plus win season is. he was a junk coach here at UK, he knew he could'nt compete , so he went to a wus of a school , so he could say hey i helped them, with no pressure, stick to hockey and remember your creed, we gophers su ck and will continue to su ck will the flubby. good luck in the nit 1 and done lmao....

He doubled the win total over last years stiffs so far. He has a top #10 recruiting class coming in for next year. Can't complain too much right now.

Police Beat is sounding pissed about the Tubster. If I remember right the Gophers were in the Final 4 and big ten Champs 10 years ago. I do think Tubby can do that if Clem Haskins can.

I would be offended at police beats comments but I'm not sure I truly understand hillbilly sarcasm. Sounds as if he may be ticked off yet that Tubby left his school. What a loser...........I challenge you to a game of hockey! CAUSE WE ARE THE STATE OF HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like Police beat was sad to see Tubby leave last year. By the way, Has anyone seen Kentucky this year? They basiclly have the same team they had last year and they look like crap. So much for bringing in a new coach who promised to get his team to the sweet 16 this year. Kentucky will be NIT bound this year and probaley right along with the gophers. I'd take the gophers over the cats any day.
