Gophers Hire New Basketball Coach!

Read on, Gopher fans, if you want exciting Gopher Basketball news! Minnesota has reached an agreement with Florida International's Richard Pitino to be the Gophers' new coach. The school introduced Pitino at a news conference on Friday, and was greeted with a great response, I mean obviously. Richard Pitino is the son of NCAA coaching legend Rick Pitino.

Richard Pitino was with his father's team, the Louisville Cardinals, Sunday in Indianapolis and then went to see Kevin Ware with his father Monday in an Indianapolis hospital. Remember the guy who broke his leg?  We thought that was a nice gesture. He has the experience, but how will he do with our beloved Gophers? I personally can't wait to see how the season goes!

Yeah, I've heard people think he's attractive too!
