99.9% of college buildings will never be as consistently electric as AFH. That's not failure

I grew up in Lawrence and have been to a bunch of games at AFH, although I'm only a casual fan of KU. I saw them comeback from something like 18 against Baylor a couple of years ago with my kids. It's an incredible experience. Very recommended.

I met him at a bachelor party when he was an assistant. Talked to him for a long time. Totally nice guy. But, yeah, this whole head coaching a power 5 team thing probably isn't working

If it's nearly impossible now, I shudder to think what "very easy" might look like

As mentioned above, I think Johnson has to go, but it's not fair to include auto bids in low major conferences to what it takes to get to the Tournament in the Big Ten. But the Power 5 examples are good ones.

I actually have spent a little time with Ben before he got this job and so was hopeful he could do it, albeit a little skeptical. Despite all that, I just don't know how you can argue with the results. That's the thing about sports, at the end of the day it's pretty easy to measure whether...

Congrats to Chicago State on the 'crootin

Why do we think Michigan is a lower-division team?

I honestly didn't realize that Cal Baptist was a D1 team, but you can't really look at the name and conclude anything. It seems like they'd be in the 300s in the computer rankings, but they're in the 170s. So being an underdog isn't as bad as it appears at first.
