Yeah that was a word salad that rivaled some of the drivel I put out there🤣

It was a fairly common song back then, when Reusse was younger and assumedly less senile (I guess not). It shouldn't have been a total unknown to him at this point, what a dumb hill to die on. And who the hell was the audience he was trying to reach out to?

This doesn't make sense to me, did Reusse think they were saying ass monkey? Why the self edit? What a weird thing to feel the need to tweet about in the first place.

I'm sorry you let tiktok ruin your capability to understand and contribute gainfully to productive discourse if it isn't a 12 second recap. Don't worry though, eventually we'll die out and you won't need to deal with the inconveniences of reading comprehension or critical thinking cultivated by...

Looks like you took a wrong turn on your way to the hoops board - hit that little hamburger looking button at the site header and scroll down to the link that says "Basketball Forum." You'll find a bunch of other miserable people who you can relate to over there. Cheers!

Your take is reasonable, therefore it doesn't fit here because it isn't polarizing enough. You either run with the Johnson apologists or you join the pitchforks and effigy crowd🤣

Indiana will be an interesting watch, don't they lose a ton compared to last year? I also question Illinois' ability to play to a high standard again. I like our odds of 9+ in the regular season this year. Favorable schedule and our experienced defense may be able to make up for any growing...

This looks great, keep those regional opponents as locks. I'm not into putting in the mental work myself, would there be the ability for each team to have a protected rivalry outside of their group? Like, could we have Michigan as a yearly rival? Would that be realistic and feasible in terms of...

I'd love to see a point by point, persuasive argument to the contrary, but I think that's a little beyond your intelligence level. Go back to your spin zone in the corner, junior.

I'd pay to watch Athan Kaliakmanis launch a basketball against the backboard like a missile on an uncontested layup

Fleck established an extremely demanding and commitment based culture in football before the NIL chaos. He had years to cultivate it to the point where, once you're in, it's very hard to leave because of the amount of buy-in required and how pervasive it is amongst the entire team. It's also...

With our schedule, 10th should be the baseline. Collins will pick up where Hetherman left off. Like last year, success hinges on how well Drake acclimates to being the starter assuming he gets the nod.

This is a legit question, not a gotcha setup, but what are the average hoops numbers in terms of TV viewing?

I mean, I can equally point out that you're oversimplifying a concept that is inherently complicated and your oversimplification to make your point loses the argument. Neither response is the right one and the reality falls somewhere in between. Also, garbage picking and coaching a major...

I don't think it's crazy, I think replacing the head bb coach isn't a priority right now. How else can you explain any of this? He's provided enough output for the AD to retain him if they want to. We'll find out soon enough, but if he isn't, it's all about money. They'll sit on their hands with...

I considered you capable of seeing the situation as a little more nuanced than wins vs losses, which is why I responded to you and not one of the more reactive nitwits. But hey, if you're gonna shut it down like that, that's alright. I wish I could see life in such simplified, black and white...

I think to a significant extent the athletic department has no idea what the college sports landscape will look like over the next five years due to NIL and the only predictably reliable bellcow is football so they're putting all of their eggs in that basket. From a fiscally conservative...

We're living in a world where ignorance, stupidity, and edginess are being promoted and encouraged at breakneck speed at the expense of our traditional values. Everyone is running to the fringes and I feel like a lunatic for trying to stay somewhere near the middle.

A few of you keep going back to win/loss records, which I give zero shits about. I'm directing my commentary towards posters who say he's totally incompentent and in over his head, which is bullshit. He'd have zero conference wins to this point if that were the case. He's managed some quality...

Yeah, the instant go to that Johnson had no place ever coaching in the Big Ten because of how inexperienced and awful he is, is extremely inauthentic. The guy can clearly coach and he's led the team to win some games we've had no excuse winning under his tenure or under previous ones. He's...
