    Pharrel Payne visiting Indiana this week.

    Ah yes, the old, if you don’t like it, leave it argument. People do not have to leave their place of employment to ask for better conditions or compensation. I’m not sure why people embrace this train of thought, we don’t have to polish a turd particularly as profits sky rocket. Universities...

    Pharrel Payne visiting Indiana this week.

    Have known a few guys that played D1 and the time commitments make it difficult to pursue anything more if you want any chance at playing professionally. This stopped being about education when the TV contracts came into play with advertising coming with it. Combine that with putting games on in...

    Cam Christie declares for NBA (while maintaining college eligibility)

    Don't think he's like Amir at all, Coffey wasn't half the shooter Christie is for one. Coffey was much more of a slasher while Christie's more of a natural scorer, better handle. Someone like a Norman Powell. His game should translate pretty well to the NBA, just comes down to whether he can...

    Official March Madness Thread

    It's going to be an uphill battle for the Midwest Big Ten teams to ever get to this level UCONN, Villanova under Jay Wright and some of the elite teams down south are at. Purdue's an exceptional developmental program, likely a step beyond where we can ever expect our program to get to due to...

    Wow: Badgers buy 3 billboards by Target Center to highlight Twin City Badgers

    They came in and undercut a profession that provided a living for people, we shouldn’t reward that by giving them free rein in our city. It’s funny because this would be a very different conversation if this were a company from another country. This will be a fun discussion when Temu closes the...

    Wow: Badgers buy 3 billboards by Target Center to highlight Twin City Badgers

    Yes, the right thing to do is to let corporations come in, using our workers to make tons of money and those corps compensating them with an unlivable wage which in turn, takes money out of the city and out of state. God forbid people are left to use public transportation that we've spent...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    I think we're at a point where we need to seriously consider bringing back Joan Gabel but as AD this time. If she wouldn't have stepped in and forced this hire on Coyle, we wouldn't be in this position. Here's to more diversity hires!

    Coaching Changes says source they trust: Muss already sending 3rd party inquiries to Minnesota and ASU as well as several less realistic spots

    For the lurkers like me who hop on here for a laugh every once in awhile, we have people wishing we would have hung onto a coach with a .360 winning percentage in the conference that finished his 8th season in charge 6-14. A conference that year that had just one team make it to the second...

    Bama Basketball Player Charged with Capital Murder

    All of this is a societal issue that we have no interest in fixing. How numb we’ve all become to frequent death and in the social media era, exposure to it, speaks to how rotten things are. Education, prevention and help for the mental ill of all ages and backgrounds should be our focus but here...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    There's reasons people on here want to see CBJ fail that go well beyond what happens on the court. Not sure this board was ever a place for logical thinking but it definitely isn't these days.

    Tyrell Terry retires from Basketball at age 22

    I didn’t think I mentioned you Bob but if you feel like a caveman, that is something you will have to work out on your own.

    Tyrell Terry retires from Basketball at age 22

    It seems the cavemen among us that once spent their time yelling at clouds have moved to message boards and social media to tell us how the younger generations are living wrong. I could not imagine ragging on a 22 year old that's expressing his struggles with mental health in a time where...
