Especially after the bullshit no-call when Vanderbilt elbowed Naz in the head.

And that wind blows around a lot of dirt. Like a dirty blizzard where you can't see far enough ahead to even drive.

And now some guards, please.

The regular season was frustrating, especially watching their tournament chances slip away. Although it wasn't the NCAA the end of the season run was fun. I'm never going to complain about being able to watch more Gopher basketball, especially when it looked like they were figuring some things...

85% on free throws!

Wait! What? I'm in my 70's. What are you saying?

Personally, over the years my feelings about Geno have really changed. From being not able to stand him when he first starting winning championships, I now really admire him and find myself pulling for UConn whenever they're playing. He really seems to have mellowed and no doubt that his...

Chip Scoggins has a good column on changing his mind about the Final Four team and how it's time to hang the banner. (Imagine it's behind the Strib's paywall) "Scoggins: Williams Arena needs to get a piece of its history back It’s time to move forward, in this era of college sports no longer...

That lasts until they play a team they should destroy but fall behind by 20; rally to tie it; and then lose on a 3-point shot by Ant that barely touches iron.

Shocking news that he passed away. He was one of those people for whom "Sportswriter" seemed inadequate. He wrote a lot of good books, but "A Season on the Brink" is still my favorite.

It seems to be what happened with Lindsay Whalen. She'll never be best buddies with Coyle, but she's admitted that she went through a process.

Still not sure if the BJ hire was mandated. I think Coyle mainly reacted to the noise that was being made about needing somebody with local ties to recruit all the high end talent that was going elsewhere. The fact that Ben was black was a bonus. It made a vocal group of coaches and critics...

Marcus working really hard to boost Ben in his game story in the Strib. I'm hoping it's just Marcus, but now am getting an uneasy feeling that he'll get another year.

Yep, it's a very good column. However, about 90% seem to be written with the goal of never having to get his fat ass out the door. Instead, he'll take a current topic; maybe make a phone call; and then fill the column space by going back 10, 20, 30 ... years. Hell, he still uses crap from his...
