It is not like we are a junior college team where our best players move off to a much higher level situation. We are actually in a conference where our best players can simply move for more money to a team in our own conference that will pay them more. In the end you cannot have a competitive...

Is it harder to get 10,000 people to buy a season ticket and enjoy the product. Or to find 5-10 mega donors to give $1-2 million a year (like mini Phil Knights) to support a product that at the moment generates only luke-warm enthusiasm. That is the conundrum. Might add that the product is...

Every game is a trap game.

Illinois is 37th after the loss to MN. What were they at gametime?

At UCLA Taylor stayed in to block, and then released to left when he did not have to pick up a blitzer. On this play he drifted out to flat right away.

Depends somewhat on whether he has had dislocations before. First one is sometimes most traumatic and takes longer too heal. If shoulder is looser the head of humerus comes out easier, but also goes back in with less trouble and tightens up quicker. That is overly simplistic but I knew hockey...

That would be a dream job if there was one donor like Phil Knight at Oregon. It would be a hellish job with the current mix of UM "mega-donors".

The frustrating thing is not being able to link to outlets where I do have a subscription. I have Pioneer Press subscription but often I must log in separately and then search for the article. Some subscriptions seem to work better than others in that way. Maybe it is just how I have it set up.

I was at that game as well. We had tickets up high near middle of field. It was my wife's first and only gopher football game so she is 1 for 1. Every gopher football game she has ever attended has had them defeat a #1 ranked team. She was bored but maybe distracted since we had 5 and 2 year...

Other than the holding by their tackles on almost every play. Our tackles did not do that. Difference on the replay was mind boggling.

Yeah but - they are 26th by a wide margin over 27.

Not that Asuma is in the same class as Lipsey and Hunter, but Iowa State was able to insert those two from the get go at point guard. Hunter was #5 rated PG in his senior year, Lipsey was #30 rated PG in his senior year, and Asuma was #9 rated PG in his senior year. Why wouldn't Issac be in...

good lord, I hadn't noticed that.

And Carter Bjerke can shoot 3's. The point is, let's play them. It doesn't hurt UW to play Marquette. Wouldn't hurt us to play UST. UM seems to be worried that they might give them more credibility. But they seem to be gaining credibility by themselves. I can see upside, no downside.
