Trying to sign up for Big Ten +. Got stuck on the Coupon Code question. Virtual Assistant says they sent one to my email. They did not (inbox or spam). We did the circle of basic steps of signing up, including the claim of sending coupon code to my email address. Finally asked for live...

To be clear, the speculation is not that she lost her starting spot (we honestly don't 100% know about that) it's that she left the team for THAT EXACT reason. The worst case scenario mentioned is that many on this board assume (with-out actually knowing her or about any of the possible things...

In my 50 years of employment and management, I have found that people who immediately default to worst case scenario in absence of any actual facts or explanations are generally the type of people who will help you fail, much more often than they will help you succeed. Occasionally, they may be...

I was roaming through several threads late last night and came apon a comment from Maroon Magic at the end of last season. One short comment was that he had a feeling that, of the big 4 recruits (Braun, Battle, Heyer and Holliway) Heyer was the most likely to bolt. I remember calling him/her...

Perception is probably coming from those randoms who complain that she shoots too much (even though Dawn P has mentioned a few times that they want her to look for her shots) she dribbles too much (more than 3 dribbles disrupts the flow of the offense, as opposed to setting up more options as...

Do we think at this point, or even at the point of her very first practice with the Gophers, Coach P cares if GG was ranked 98th or 198th? I mean, most of us don't even remember and once she was in our gym, it was pointless to care.

Just saying, that as a coach, once I have them in the gym and working out with my team, it doesn't matter to me if or where they are ranked by national services. I know fans care, but fans don't have to coach them, I do. Doesn't matter if they were ranked in the top 50 or ranked 250. What...

Once we have them committed of on our team, does it really matter where they are rated? I mean, if our coaching staff wanted them and got them in house, who cares where other people rank them?

Put a Arizona football legend in a funny wig, add him to the team as a last minute transfer, and he'll eventually go off. :) All part of a fun show for the fans.

Here's the idea. Each team plays one or 2 exhibition games against a D-2 team, then the NCAA tournament starts on Nov. 10. Every single D-1 team is in it. 2 games per week. You have to lose twice (wait, better make it 3 times) to be eliminated (Unless you're one of the 20 or so TV-Friendly...

Watching highlights, two things jumped out. Seems effective offensively in traffic. Moves his feet on defense. Couple of things you need to be able to do in the college game. Seems pretty athletic and at 240, looks like he probably can add a little more weight with-out losing agility.

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
