I wonder if these guys could ever imagine their humble Midwestern conference would someday generate $1 billion in annual revenues. Back in the day they’d just bring a dish to pass at family get togethers and everyone would be happy.

Agree, that’s the same thing I thought when I saw this list. Bert is a top 5 coach in this league, and above PJ based on body of work and even head-to-head. I think PJ is solidly top 8, however.

The common factor between BYU and Kentucky? Mark Pope is also Mormon (and coached at BYU). Those substantial LDS dollars are flowing freely to support their own in college basketball.

For me, the confluence of timing between the advent of NIL hitting at the exact same time as Ben Johnson being brought in to run an already teetering program, really brought down my interest, both for the Gophers and college basketball overall (for me, as Minnesota hoops goes, so goes my...

He spent even less time in Minnesota than summer.

He’s a national treasure and will be missed. If he’s replaced it will be someone far more corporate with far less soul. Read a blurb that he’ll have one last GameDay on Aug 30, and the only two real options are Bama at FSU (his alma mater where he played football) or Texas at OSU, where he did...

Absolutely, Bleed! It was a comment on Decourcy and the absolutely perplexing takes from him in particular in this story and the national media in general on Johnson. All of them should know better.

I’m without words. These national guys are absolutely without any sort of clue. A coach who frequently makes his guys better just does not end up with a 56-71 record. Period.

That Western Michigan winner 26 seconds into the second OT was eerily reminiscent of Quinnipiac's against us in '23.

Not cabins, palaces. There are some incredible homes on the chain. Rome’s is beautiful.
