This is usually the point in the dream when I wake up.

Many years ago, when there were still twelve rounds in the NFL draft, I heard some commentator say that, in the last round, with your final pick, select someone big and unusual. What that really means, in essence, is to take someone with peculiar potential to round out your roster. Someone not...

I'm a sucker for innovation.

I will never get over Kentucky in the national semifinal as long as I live. That's why I can't watch the Clemson game: Harris' injury ended our title contention.

Stole my post. 2,000 is a lot!

I think we all were. It's possible Niko and his staff see real potential in these guys and thought this was the right move long term. Medved has enough of a track record of finding and developing talent that it's reasonable to trust him.

It's important to remember that you start 5; trust 7; play 9. These are guys 14 and 15 on the roster. Had they reeled in a couple bigger fish at some point, two of the others on the roster would have fallen to 14 and 15 on the depth chart and might never see the floor--guys who likely came in...

Not sure about Maximus, but as for Max, any two-sport athlete who averages 26 points in his senior season in the top MN class of high school competition can help you in some way. We'll find out if he can defend and create his own shot, but the guy can put the ball in the basket from multiple...

Buffalo should be higher. Any city that's got a big, fat goose egg should be top three.

...along with Undercut the Jump Shooter

It reminds me of how superficially the Strib and local media covered high school gymnastics when my daughter was competing. Any of us parents could have previewed the upcoming season for our class and conference better than that reporter did.

I'd say a solid B or a B-minus. Evans would have jolted this to a B-plus. But the article's C-plus is fair.

Gopher Luck was bound to kick in at some point.

"Bottom tier roster" doesn't jibe with some of the analytics evaluations we've seen. Will be interesting to see if indeed these guys can play, which is always going to be a question for players who are transferring up.

Wow, Fran. This was really something.

Marshall was the embodiment of the great Viking teams of that era. I half expected him to live forever. Rest in peace, Purple People Eater.

My girlfriend and I were high on life for days after Game 7. She had been in attendance with her brother, and I hosted a watch party nearby. We all met up to celebrate on the streets afterward (don't ask me how we all found each other in the pre-mobile phone era; it just always happened!). Just...

Next time they're jumping the shark wearing a leather jacket. The time after that, they'll be naked. Seriously, they think of shark jumping as a good thing. "Hey, look at me! I'm jumping over a shark!" in Ralph Wiggum voice. They don't conceive of how stupid and greedy they look.

I was going to reply this. He had the worst conference winning percentage in school history, which is, by definition, historically bad. It's okay to talk about facts. That's not an undue shot at the individual. He himself knows he wasn't as successful here as anyone who came before him...or as...

I'm not inclined to declare or accept this series being over. As good as the Thunder are, the Wolves have shown what they'te capable of. They're also showing how many bolts they need to tighten to be a championship team. There's no better time for that than the present.
