Not even remotely close - a very small minority. The University of Minnesota? You serious, Clark? Maybe Stanford, maybe, but I doubt there's any other P4 school who's even remotely close. I never worked in Athletics, so I don't know what the real number is, but let's make up a number for what...

FIFY

Another 300-game winner isn't likely, but it's at least worth keeping an eye on Verlander. He's sitting at 260 right now, so if he played another 3 seasons after this one, and averaged around 12-13 wins per (assuming he picks up another handful yet this season), he would get there. He would be...

I doubt that's true. I can rent almost anything I want from Amazon Prime Video and I don't have to leave my couch.

I like how you compare being a high school AD to being the chief executive of a $150M organization. Great call.

It will be interesting to see if the oddsmakers believe we're that much better or UNC is that much worse - or maybe a little bit of both. UNC beat our ass last year, and using the Sagarin ratings from 2023-24 season end, our lines would be: vs. UNC - Gophers +6 vs. Iowa - Gophers +5 vs. USC -...

I wouldn't be surprised if we are underdogs against either or both of UNC and Iowa.

I want to see this because I really enjoy the three leads, as well as the minor cast (Michael Shannon, Norman Reedus), but it's tough for me to get past how awful the name is. You have an enormous marketing budget and no one could come up with something better? And yes, I know it's named after...

This is a little bit of a word salad, but if I'm deciphering it correctly, you're saying there's a chance we'll be favored in 5 of the first 6 games? I will bet you any amount of money you wish at any odds you desire that that doesn't happen.

This data will be updated based on this coming season's results, obviously, but based off last season's outcomes, in Sagarin UCLA finished 8th among 2024 Big Ten teams (ahead of wisconsin and Iowa) and we finished 16th (ahead of only Indiana and Michigan St.). Based on that data, we would be a...

Sarcasm?

I picked Austin Hollins because they played the same position. But if we're throwing it open to Gophers players who haven't been drafted or played in the NBA regardless of position - for sure Andre Hollins, Mason, Lynch, Mbakwe, Jordan Murphy, and many more are all players I'd rather have this...

He's not a one-and-done yet - decent chance he's not even drafted. And if he is drafted, it's more than a little disingenuous to lump him in with a typical one-and-done lottery pick. And yes, there are tons and tons of guys who weren't drafted/won't play in the NBA that are better than a...

We hear it a ton with any coach that has any modicum of success in football or men's basketball, because know-nothing outsiders think Minnesota is a joke and any coach would take any realistic opportunity they can to get out of here voluntarily. We heard it with Tubby, hell we heard it with...

Goaltending now legal - if you're Dallas.

Kyle Anderson gets a T for a mild disagreement on a dogshit call. Doncic runs his mouth every...single...time down the floor, on offense AND defense, and nothing. Doncic establishes position while Edwards is in the air, bullshit call gets reviewed, somehow STILL a charge. Hard picks now...

Arraez somehow has 1.0 WAR while batting .335. I don't even know how that's possible. He has the same number of XBH as Alex Kirilloff, who is batting .214.

Nah. Lopez still has good peripheral numbers, and it's more a case of bad luck than anything. He's still a legit #1/#2 starter in a league where those are next-to-impossible to get in a trade or in FA outside of the few big, big money teams. Arraez is a homeless man's version of Tony Gwynn who...

Huh? Irving has been on Dallas' roster the entire season.
