I'm 69 years old and never would have guessed who the actor standing beside John Wayne was with-out your post. Gotta admit, never heard of the actor Ben Johnson until just now. I'm totally aware of Ben Johnson the football coach and Ben Johnson the sprinter. Ben Johnson, the cowboy actor...

I thought this was hilarious.

Between the "You knows" and the interviewer having trouble efficiently setting up, then asking a direct question, this interview went about 5 to 10 minutes longer than it needed to. I give L.P. a bit of a pass because he's not a professional, but the interviewer doesn't need to ramble like...

So now that I live in Tucson, I was thinking of making the 6 or so hour hop over to watch the Gophers play. Curious if anybody has seen anything about exact game times, prices and a Gopher friendly hotel in the area that week-end. Would rather make arrangements too early than too late. Thanks

Yep. I realize that pretty much everything out there is more about money than about serving customers and customer satisfaction.

Not a fan of watching Old-Timers games, so no, I wouldn't watch.

Although it's Division 2, the CCAA in California generally had 6 games on Thursdays and 6 games on Saturday's. Men's/women's double-headers. For awhile it was a CCAA network. Last year it was Flo Network. Pay a monthly fee and you could choose between which games you wanted to watch...

Just give me all the games on one platform. Don't make me chase around several platforms to find the game I want to watch. Don't make me sign up for 4-5 free trials and then have to remember to cancel them. I don't care what platform it is, just give me a "all games on one platform" option...

Maybe MOGopher or CoachJD?

Can't believe I'm commenting on this, but here goes. Maybe he did make a statement to suits in the big office on his exit interview, thanking them for the opportunity and such. And the suits in the big office didn't feel the need to publicize it, possible at his request. Maybe not. Reminds...

I love making sports predictions because if I happen to guess anything close to what turns out happening, I can brag about how much I know about sports. If, 8 months from now it turns out I was way off-base, I can just hope everybody forgets that what I said because it was so long ago. BTW, I...

you have a limited ability to groom them into playing "your way." With the changes in college hoops over the past couple of years, it seems that instead of "playing right to please the coach and earn playing time", it's more like "coaching right to please the player and get him to stay another...

I still maintain he should go by Pope Bobby the 1st. Why be the 14th when you have a shot at being the first?

While I love having a lot of guys who are possible double figure scorers, my biggest fear is that they might also be double figure defenders in Big Ten play. I'd love to hear more about "stay in front", "Instinctively execute some of the nuances of higher level team defensive concepts" and "Not...

Seems like kind-of a dumb thing to get worked up about one way or the other.
