All good choices and reasoning behind the choices. Auburn.

Zach Evans. He's just too talented to keep off the field.

No kidding! First I'm really getting to know of him as a personality, and I love this guy!

Look, I'm about to say what everyone knows. The reason we can have success in sports other than football and men's basketball is because no one really cares about those sports. They are essentially meaningless and a "booby prize" for losers. If we want to prove we can compete, we need to win...

#1 - Good for Battle. Get the degree you want. #2 - BJ. BJ. BJ. Dude. You gotta go kick someone's ass. Unacceptable that a dedicated and talented young man serving the U as an athlete and role model can't get the degree he wants. It's not like he's asking for admission to medical school...

I just looked. Wow. It looks WAAAAAAAAY closer to 4.19 than 4.42. What gives?

I just did that - several times over, and frame-by-frame. Vicarious joy is a hell of drug. Nothing better, really. I think I'll go pet a dog or be nice to a child now. The sun is shining here in Tampa.

If wins and losses are your perspective, then, who cares about this? Look, Evans is by all accounts a very good player, but - here - he would have been a very good player added to a roster that already has a very good player at the position. This news is a bummer, but, really, who cares...

Many thanks.

I had an appointment that prevented me from watching the game tonight. So I did the "next best thing" -- checked the box score. Looks like Henley had a night?!?! 14 points and only one turnover? Plus three steals? Is there "more" to the story - or did he have something of a breakout night?

He moves the ball well and takes care of it (in terms of limiting turnovers). His defense is adequate. The thing is: he's not a great shooter, not a great driver and not a great ("lockdown") defender. If he could be just one of those other things, it would result in W's. But I think he's...

Uh... it's free. https://247sports.com/college/minnesota/Article/Minnesota-Gophers-Basketball-22-23-14-Thoughts-on-14-Players-204833558/

It means he'll end up accepting it. Because he has no say over any aspect of the program. So if it were to occur, it would enter his reality, and then the program would continue marching forward, and, functionally, he'd accept it.

Booth only played two games (really 1.5, because he was injured half-way through his second game) - which is probably part of your point! But he had 9 solo tackles against Dallas. 9. As a true rookie. I'll take that! The point is: those two allow the LB's to play a step or two closer to the...

Mainly agree. I've posted pretty much the exact same comments - probably more than a year ago. Surprisingly, though, Mo struck me as considerable MORE explosive this year. After returning from an injury. Don't know how that happened. Didn't really think that was possible. But he picked...

Trade back and get JMS; pick up an upper-half-of-the-league Guard in free agency. Done. Offensive line is fixed. Cine and Booth both come back from IR. That lets the D not play two slow veterans on every down in the backfield. That lets the LBs play up to help out the line. Draft a...

Vikings interior OL needs a massive boost. JMS would fill a gaping hole for The Purple. Let's make that happen.

Traveling and totally missed the game. Stuck in North Carolina - should be in Virginia. Anyhow, looks like the Gophers held them nicely under 70. So it was a good showing?

(1) Permit schools to pay the players. (2) Let the players unionize, and engage in collective bargaining. (3) Engage the collective bargaining process to impose legal salary caps. (4) Form two super conferences, constituted of divisions to preserve rivalries. (5) No time-limits on eligibility...

Wasn't a foul. Very nice win. The point isn't the win, per se. It's the assembly of the team and its constituents - we're seeing it happen. This is a development year, as will be next year. Toward the end of next year, we'll begin to see the stable outcome. For now, relax and enjoy. Nice...
