Nowhere near as bike crazy as Amsterdam. You really have to watch where you're walking there.

I haven't read the rest of their team capsules yet. I was eager to post the Gopher one. I'll get back to the article but I think it's fair to say that both Maryland and Indiana have set themselves up very well.

CBS Sports predicts that the Gophers WILL NOT finish in the basement (they have Northwestern, Penn State, and Rutgers there). They have them one step above that group but, hey, that's progress these days. Minnesota 2024-25 record: 15-17 Postseason: None PROJECTED STARTING LINEUP G Isaac...

Although I would have preferred another big man personally, I think this is about as good of a prospect as we could have hoped for at this point. I'm not one for going out on the limb with predictions but I feel comfortable in saying that this team won't finish tied for last in the league in...

Good story! Another reminder that the tax law isn't just the verbatim reading of the words. It also depends on application which can be selective and also may involve intervening circumstances. Sometimes, they can just throw the law out the window in particular cases. A very notable example...

Great explanation! Well done. Comments on a couple of lines: "An athletic scholarship, can’t be pay for play. Even then, only a portion, would not be taxable." and "The sport can’t be required. otherwise, the whole thing is taxable income." I imagine that this treatment will continue even...

Dead wrong about what? I never claimed he would be a great success here but I hoped that he might be able to pull off a decent enough 4th year to get a 5th. I guess I'm just a sucker for a redemption story. Obviously he fell well short. If I ever care about "looking bad" to a smug dolt on an...

If you are going to attack people who post here (nothing wrong with that in my book), at least make the effort to attack actual arguments made by them rather than use ones that you've fabricated for the sole purpose of making attacks. I haven't read anyone arguing that Ben didn't get a fair...

I'm sure he is repressing some memories. I know I'm trying to.

I would think that their fans don't care much for Ferentz, like most fans of former Big Ten West schools.

Which is right in line with the current prediction above

I thought the same thing but that's the risk of a lesser program recruiting a couple of top-rated players. It reduces the funds for other recruits; you're only getting them for one year (right now, those two are rated as #2 and #3 in mock drafts); and you have a limited ability to groom them...

I thought that their relatively unheralded freshman center (Sommerville) was pretty good too. Unfortunately for them, he transferred to Washington.

"No one" undoubtedly is hyperbolic but I love the bluntness of the assessment.

Me too. Not every freshman dominated team performs like the Fab Five.

As I recall, it was the 2020-21 season that was the freebie. The 2019-2020 season just had the post season tournaments (and conference tournaments for many of the second week conference tournament teams) cancelled but teams mostly played a full regular season. COVID was still a new thing in...

Tomes is a class of 2026 recruit so I would say probably not. If I'm counting correctly, we should be at 11 scholarship players for next year now so I'd guess there will be at least one more. Maybe the remaining scholarships will go to local walk-on types. Hell, Wisconsin had a walk-on from...

For most men, it can't just about what is of interest to them. It's simpler to be concerned only with one's own interests but it's also lonelier.

I've seen you bring up McLaughlin (note the spelling) a number of times. If you're not doing so, you should look up the years of D1 these portal entries have played to see if they have any eligibility remaining. McLaughlin has played four years of D1 already. There's no way anyone in those...

Yes, but sooner or later they will be right. We're not Ohio State who can be confident of beating every conference team except one or two every year.
