He didn't just go to Cornell, he took a boatload of women's studies programs and wrote the Penis Apologies, the companion piece to the Vagina Monologues. He's earned our respect.

Spaulding is the Gopherhole recruiting prognosticator. I haven't quite been able to reverse-engineer his methods, but he is hitting about 95% on knowing when local players are likely to end up at Wisconsin. He is especially accurate in his predictions from players from the southern suburbs.

It'd be fun if we had a guy to just play a few minutes a game to just bother and be a pest to our opponents.

We have the Max. Get it?

I know nothing about Maximus Gizzi, but if he doesn't get playing time, I'm starting a Niko Medved is a Disaster thread by January. I might even it spell Nico (sic).

It sounds like it's Houston or Miami, I wonder how much of it has to do with him keeping an additional $14.4 million because of lack of state income tax.

This is not a shot at you but it's just an observation. I've never seen a guy come under so much heat while producing like he has. In that series, he averaged 25 points (on 17 shots) with 12 rebounds. He wasn't a good defensive player but he did slightly more than Pascal Siakam and drastically...

This is also on Adam Silver, the NBA, and ESPN. They talk constantly about the 40 year old greats. I'm not a Lebron or Steph hater, but ESPN should have been talking endlessly about this OKC team. They should have spent more time talking about Haliburton. The players don't feel like stars to...

It almost has to. Do you think Penn State will fund hockey or wrestling?

I'll be interested to see how a lot of the restrictions hold up under legal challenges too. As far as the clearinghouse, for me, it would make sense if it was pretty simple: boilerplate contracts to protect both sides with very little allowance for redlining; proof the collectives have the...
