So will the 76th best team in the country get to raise a banner for making the tournament? The ultimate participation trophy!

I wish out of conference scheduling would be taken out of the hands of individual schools. It already seems weird in a sports leagues that teams get to pick their regular season opponents to fit their objectives for the season, and too many schools, especially colleges in Minneapolis, have...

Where this ended up was inevitable and should have been obvious. People who didn't see it coming when they pushed to change the system were being either willfully blind or incredibly naive. I know there was some cute NIL utopia some envisioned, but that was never a possibility.

If we hire a coach with less recent success than our current coach, that will not convince me that we have increased our chances of winning the last one.

If we do go for a new coach, we should look for someone with a high level of recent success. Like being in two frozen fours and winning 3 conference titles in the last four years.

In with you on 2008. Felt like we were headed somewhere. Michigan and Wisconsin were having bad years, I bet if we would have beat NW we would have been favored every game as long as we kept winning. Instead it was the beginning of the end for coach brew. His high water mark.

To me, recruiting rankings are totally irrelevant to how I evaluate coaches. At the end of the day, if a coach is winning enough to satisfy, in don't care if he exclusively signs 2 star offensive linemen and teaches them to play every position on the field. If he's not winning enough games, i...

I bet Mel Kiper thinks that the cop didn't properly evaluate his speed.

He went to Georgia the same way he went in the first round.

Sounds like he's off to a fast start.

Sounds like a reasonable ask

I think one of the biggest mistakes both pro GMs and college ADs make is having too little patience for a coach who has been pretty good but not great. Possibly because I think fanbases have the same blind spot. They fire a pretty successful coach, the team moves into train wreck mode, and then...

How about a first year that is good enough that making the NIT isn't some kind of stretch goal in year 2?

By "reevaluation bump", do you mean an offer from OSU or Georgia?

I know the over under is based on regular season wins, but im at a point where any year i consider less than 8 total wins disappointing. We hit that mark 3 of the 4 seasons before Fleck got here, and 4 of the 7 since full seasons since hes been here. That should be the baseline. Another way I...
