64 was the perfect number. No play-ins, no byes. I’d go back to that, even though it would make it harder for the Gophers to get in as an at-large team.

It’s bizarro world.

We already had enough guards to let a couple already on the roster drop to #14 and 15. I was hoping for at least one more post player for the rotation (or at least able to step in if Turner gets injured).

Great to have a couple extra short guards. Who needs backup big men for injury insurance? Not us.

Injuries were a factor for Michael Bauer’s plateaued performance, too.

I think Max will surprise, and be kept as QB3 over Brett Rypien.

I think Seth Davis is the second worst basketball commentator in the country.

I hate the comparison of players to coaches (for moving or wanting more money), because the player chaos is nothing like the coaching situation. No head coaches are in their 5th school in 5 years. There are few low level assistant coaches that are at more than 2 schools in a 5 year window.

Once, for a joke (even if it’s not funny), I can put up with. Keeping it up is too much like the idiot that called Pitino “little Ricky” for his entire time at MN. That was just being a jerk.
