I like the Heismam House spots. Not all of them hit the mark but the concept is strong. I want them to put together at least one commercial with the most (relatively) obscure/forgotten living Heisman winners. Ty Detmer, Jason White, Troy Smith, Eric Crouch, Danny Wuerffel, Gino Toretta and...

He’s done a lot of dying over the last decade.

He didn’t burn out he just faded away.

With Kash Patel moving FBI agents out of Washington to field offices across the country, he might want to send special agents with financial crimes backgrounds to Minneapolis if Wade is hired.

I think the fact that Bennett spent his entire career climbing the coaching ladder within the state of Wisconsin (high schools, UW-Stevens Point, UW-Green Bay) prior to landing the UW-Madison job worked in his favor to minimize the risk somewhat, because everybody knew who he was, how often he...

Why are you a D1 coach or athlete or administrator if you can’t bother to travel to your scheduled games, even if they are makeups? USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington have a significantly heavier travel burden to bear than the Midwest teams, and while there’s been some bitching about it, they’ve...

There was a similar list of 10 in The Athletic and Ben wasn’t even mentioned. Not, I suppose, because his seat isn’t hot (it’s molten), but rather because the Minnesota men’s basketball program has become totally irrelevant as to no longer even register with national writers.

Has Johnson been fired yet, and if not, why not?

This thread.

Hopefully Coyle saw what Utah did with Smith and realized, “Wait, you can fire a coach DURING the season?

Like Sid, this is Charley’s life, he knows nothing else. Keeling over in a press box is likely his preferred way to go. Honestly, the Pioneer Press could have AI write the column post-death and nobody would know the difference.

Is his journey going to be a 5-part miniseries?

I’ve read it was less than that. He never liked playing with a shot clock anyway.

I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention my love for Phi Slamma Jamma in the 80s. How the hell a team with 2 of the 50 greatest players in NBA history didn’t win a national title with Houston still baffles me. An underrated reason for my affection was their weird habit of wearing numbers that...

Some places even fire great guys because they’re bad at coaching basketball, apparently.

The point shaving ghost of Henry Hill lives on.

I fell in love with Georgetown when Ewing went there in 1981-82. I saw a documentary on PBS about him when he was in high school in Boston, and realized how dominant he was. The Hoya love was part of my overall infatuation with Big East basketball and Big Monday in the early/mid 80s. Couldn't...

It was a horrible way to end a classic game. Hate to see the stripes decide it with a phantom call.

At this point, I envision Shooter being like Milton in Office Space, relegated to the basement and not even getting paid, but still showing up for work regardless.
