Absolutely caught that too.

Actually I’d say the opposite. People bet too much on the underdogs and the fun splash upset (they undoubtedly will occur but it’s too hard to predict which ones that will be). If you just let KenPom operate you would probably have won the March Madness pool last year.

Psh I was yelling AP for 3 all day - SWISH - back in the day out in the driveway!

Not to nitpick too badly (I absolutely agree it’s hard to tell with any young recruits, especially big men), but Grove and Mpoyi are not ranked too similarly despite being both 3* recruits. Mpoyi per 247 is ranked #147 overall nationally whereas Grove was the #65 ranked power forward and only...

Fox is one of my all time favorites after last year. That being said he also was pushing on 30 by the time he graduated! I would of course take Fox (if healthy) right now, but Grove is absolutely working his tail off and going from a cast off to a legitimate piece of our team this season. I’m...

They’re back! Albeit a bit late.

That’s a great point!

What’s another Gopher basketball game without a questionable flagrant foul call going against us?!?

I got you! It’s my limited Swahili courtesy of my sisters ex, but my Kenyan cab driver loved it the other day. Twende Tukashike Samaki! (Let’s go fishing!)

Coaches probably also realize that these men are professionals now. Don’t have to hold back as much.

One of my old colleagues and friends was a National Champion!

This made me sick the other night (still kinda rooting for Darnold). I have to think that the Vikings brass realized that they couldn’t win with paying him AND fixing the OL/DL. Ironically the majority of the money spent on the lines turned out to be burnt money. I’ll still go with the Herschel...

I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s next year with Texas Tech and a high school coach. Money back out in the open changes everything. Not to discredit everything else that played into it, but that of course changes the dynamic.

I was just thinking last night it might be their year. The money to convince Dante Moore to stay certainly helps.

It all went downhill after Tyson got concussed and then knee knock. On to the next one!
