Depressed at the Barn

Tonight the Gophers play the Badgers at Williams Arena. This is usually a game I’m beyond excited for. Well, not this year. The Gophers season has been abysmal. I’ve offered my tickets up for FREE at times to spare myself the agony.


I am perplexed mostly by the constant bickering between Lawrence Westbrook and Tubby Smith. My theory is Westbrook has finally realized he isn’t a lottery pick (welcome to the club dude) and has (maybe even unconsciously) decided to be punk the rest of the year. Bottom line – it is poisoning the team.

Here is a straight forward quote from the article linked to below: “He’s [Westbrook's] gotta defend better,” Smith said. “It’s as simple as that. If he defended better, he’d be on the court.” Why doesn’t he simply play defense or at least look like he is busting his butt trying? I don’t get it.

Check out the link for a pretty good analysis of the Gopher’s woes this season.

What the heck, at least I get to down a few beers at Sally’s pregame. Ugh.

As I sit alone at home at 8:35 on a Friday night contemplating what happened to my life when I used to go to the Barn and Sallys on Friday vs. being on the computer.....enjoy the game and go Gophers. Don't forget about us that live in the 'burbs.
