"Bottom tier roster" doesn't jibe with some of the analytics evaluations we've seen. Will be interesting to see if indeed these guys can play, which is always going to be a question for players who are transferring up.

Wow, Fran. This was really something.

Marshall was the embodiment of the great Viking teams of that era. I half expected him to live forever. Rest in peace, Purple People Eater.

My girlfriend and I were high on life for days after Game 7. She had been in attendance with her brother, and I hosted a watch party nearby. We all met up to celebrate on the streets afterward (don't ask me how we all found each other in the pre-mobile phone era; it just always happened!). Just...

Next time they're jumping the shark wearing a leather jacket. The time after that, they'll be naked. Seriously, they think of shark jumping as a good thing. "Hey, look at me! I'm jumping over a shark!" in Ralph Wiggum voice. They don't conceive of how stupid and greedy they look.

I was going to reply this. He had the worst conference winning percentage in school history, which is, by definition, historically bad. It's okay to talk about facts. That's not an undue shot at the individual. He himself knows he wasn't as successful here as anyone who came before him...or as...

I've said it before, and I'll say it forever as the father of a former competitive gymnast. Gymnastics judging is way more consistent and way more objective than basketball officiating. The way basketball games are officiated determines so many games and playoff series.

The only path to defeat at this point is turnovers and opponent's three-point field goals. Avoid those things.

Holy fucking shit

That's no more likely to happen than it was with Pitino. As a general rule, the fans here had little ill will and few cross words for Richard. I seem to have a higher opinion of Gopherholers than you do.

KIRK: Aren't you the one who always says a little suffering is good for the soul? MCCOY: I never say that.

I do believe he has something to build on if he wants to rebuild a coaching career. He has a good deal of knowledge and ability, and his experience here for sure added a wealth of knowledge and knowhow to what he had coming in. He just did things out of order in his career because of the...
