    Parrish on the status of college basketball

    Here's the line that really stings: "College basketball is closer to college baseball than college football in terms of the importance placed on the things that will shape leagues." Sad, but true...

    Very interesting story on players getting run off

    Would love to know what people think of this. I see both sides of it. http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20100524/SPORTS03/5240342/1029/rss0703

    Today's must read

    Comes from Gary Parrish on CBS Sportsline. The topic is knuckleheads. I think you could replace the name with several others and the story would be just as accurate...

    Kent writes about O-Line

    Since many like to rip on him when he doesn't write something and call him lazy, I'm stunned nobody has posted a link to Kent's story on the offensive line. For those of you who are curious, it was on the front page of the print sports section...

    Very interesting story on the A10

    From Andy Glockner at SI.com http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/andy_glockner/02/05/atlantic.10/index.html Two key items: "The A-10 currently has six teams -- Rhode Island, Temple, Xavier, Charlotte, Richmond and Dayton -- in the top 43 of the RPI. That means when those teams start...

    Very damaging loss

    The problem with this loss is that it probably drops them to sixth in the Big Ten in the RPI. According to collegerpi.com, the Gophers opened today fifth in the Big Ten in RPI at 50. Ohio State was at 49 and Northwestern was at 59. I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking that losing to a team...

    Brew's Top 25 ballot

    Brew votes in the coaches poll and their season-ending ballot was released today. You can see it here: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2009-final-coaches-ballots.htm He voted Texas No. 1 and, curiously, voted Cincinnati No. 6. Only one coach ranked the Bearcats lower. Only...

    Something worth reading....

    I understand this story is about webtribution and getting even with people. But it is probably worth reading and considering as you decide what to post and what not to post on here. There are times when the discourse on here gets a little ugly. Players get ripped. Coaches get ripped. Posters...

    So which side are you on?

    In the wake of this loss, my question to Gophers fans is whether this is a bad loss or an acceptable loss? But, at the same time, I think it's kind of more complicated than just good loss or bad loss. Why? If you think this is a bad loss, I can totally see your point. Truly good teams don't...

    Illinois is getting its mojo back

    The Illini are looking very good right now. Juice Williams looks like the old Juice as the Illini are shredding Michigan's defense right now. Gophers have to win tonight. Next week is no longer a gimme.

    So what is the order of biggest sporting events next weekend?

    Title pretty much sums it up. Interesting weekend coming up. We have Gophers-Badgers on Saturday. We have Twins-Royals in their final Metrodome series (and still an outside chance for the playoffs). And then there is Vikings-Packers on Monday night in what will be Favre's first game against his...

    Every coach's fear this fall....

    The H1N1 virus. This is happening at Wisconsin, but could happen almost anywhere this fall. Including Minnesota. I expect you'll see many more stories like this this fall. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-wisconsin-flusymptoms&prov=ap&type=lgns
