Of the many things that are signs of the problems with the quality of our program, I don't think discounted Timberwolves tickets for students are one of them. When I was in college, they had a weekly student night deal, and at that time we didn't have a watchable NBA team and did have a college...

I recognize it's not a formal penalty. I just don't understand the point of the distinction between valid and invalid fair catch signal. If a valid fair catch signal is made and the ball is caught, the ref is supposed to blow the play dead and spot the ball where he caught it. If there is an...

I always thought anthracite was just a word for ugly gray practice jerseys. Same thing I've said about football and basketball uniforms that diverge from the school colors: I care enough to spend 30 seconds whining about it on a message board, but not enough that it will have more than a...

I agree the collective body language suggests a leadership background. Also important to remember that a lot of real leadership happens behind the scenes and through setting an example on the court. I think a lot of stars think that being the best player and talking first in the huddle or...

New lows for energy and enthusiasm? Have we slipped in the high five and butt slaps metrics?

If Coyle texting his wife and telling her that he wishes we were in the tournament isn't enough accountability for coach, I don't know what is.

Sounds like a good opportunity for Alabama to try and prove it's one of the 12 best teams next year. They weren't this year. They also weren't one of the four best last year, but that didn't matter to the committee.

Does it seem weird that the penalty for an invalid fair catch signal is that they treat it like a valid fair catch signal?

+1 Last year is what a down year for a good but not great coach would look like here. It certainly is not good if it is the best year (by a long shot) in a 3+ year tenure.

We got exposed last night, north dakota got exposed tonight.

Do Wisconsin fans still think they beat Arizona State a decade ago?

I usually try to wait for at least one loss before I start griping about a team.

Don't poo poo the silver linings. Missing the NCAA tournament last year set the stage for our dramatic playoff victory in the first round of the NIT. Haven't been to a game yet this year, maybe I should go when they schedule the banner raising ceremony.

That's true for all sports decisions. I don't care if a coach makes a decision I don't like as long as they execute it well. At the end of the day, I hold the coach responsible for wins and losses, not whether they make decisions I agree with or how much I like their recruits.

I think Coyle would text his wife to tell her how much he wants the basketball team to make the tournament. And then ponder how a coach who did such a good job blowing him away in the interview is having such a hard time on the court.

I'm not worried about the optics for other coaches. I hope any coach we get would assume that the performance we've gotten in the last 3+ years is unacceptable and fireworthy. I was more worried about the optics of firing Tubby. That sent the message to potential coaches that "if I take the...

I went with a B too. I always struggle with how to grade a season with a Medicare win total but lots of meat left on the bone. Coaching staff deserves credit for having us in all those games, especially Penn State, but also deserves blame for not closing more of those opportunities due to...

There might be more fans in line for a urinal at halftime than their have been at the Barn.

He did accurately identify UCLA as being in Los Angeles at the media day.

Whatever culture problems the U itself has, we know from the Tubby years that winning at least 42% of your conference games and making the tournament halftime time is achievable here. And that would be night and day better than what we've been getting.
