Supposedly JJ and JJ had worked extensively together all offseason. I think they’ll be ok chem wise because Jefferson can accomodate so damn much and gets so damn open it doesn’t matter (see Mullens and Dobbs looking semi competent throwing him the ball). They’ll run much more PA as well which...

you and Jeff Teague should start a podcast

better pro in what sense? The Eberflus Bears tried to break Williams. Now he gets Ben Johnson who made Goff look like an MVP at times (after he was almost bounced out the league). Think you're going to see a much much better season from Williams this year as its an offense that complements what...

then your issue is with Finch, not Ant. He's doing what's asked and even when he was getting fried by the media for making the right play passing, he still takes it in stride of trying to execute the gameplan. On Ant shooting a better percentage, have said it a million times, but Finch needs to...

this is such a confusing take. Finch is on record saying he wants Ant to take more 3s because of what the NBA has become (in terms basically every tracking metric in that you should only take 3s or dunks). He got better shooting 3s because he worked his ass off at it. He was a mediocre to bad 3...

If it counted against the cap, that’s fine Baseball should implement a salary cap (a real one). They never will now as the players union would never go for it. There are multiple teams deferring hundreds of millions in salary. To @GophersInIowa point on the Twins can’t, they can. But a player...

Is everyone allowed to do it? If the twins were doing it, no one here would bat an eye. Multiple teams do it, and if it’s so advantageous, more can. If it hurts all the small market teams, they could try outlaw it.

gives me chills every time

oh i don't disagree you that it is highly debatable that each student is "getting $200 worth of goods" from the new fee, the same that its debatable that you're getting ~16k "worth" of education each year as a resident and is a massive part of the disconnect in rising costs of education versus...

in reality pretty much all of higher ed needs to be blown up. will be a bubble that pops at some point in my life i'm sure

yep they are tens to hundreds (depending on who you comp with) of millions behind other schools at least in terms of what's reported. and with fb and bb being vastly more popular, it's where the money will continue to get funneled to try sniff remaining competitive

On a technicality, they are making it. No one is forcing anyone to go to the U. They’re then spending that money on athletes but the service the U is offering, people are willing to pay. We’ll see if it affects enrollment or not, but I doubt it in any real capacity that won’t be within the...

I’d expect Cooley gets there if he’s stays healthy. Sure seems like he’ll be a ppg player for awhile going forward. Dont think Knies has that in his game and Cooley is a year younger as well

If the Wild get him for anything less than 14.5, I will be surprised and it will be a steal given where contracts are going to go in the next 2-3 years

don't really know why we have to put a shot in at bob as part of the post, given he's recruiting him, but good numbers playing above his age level in Sweden. Long ways out but encouraging he's already on campus. Wonder if he and Pahlsson know each other. must be some sort of story for him to get...
