Just saying, that right now, this program IS in a much better spot, with a bright future to boot. Pretty sure that for most of us who were paying attention to the rest of Big Ten, we realized that the Gophers getting to the NCAA tournament this season, even with Braun and Woodson available and...

Are we sure? That guy constantly takes :30 seconds to get to and complete a :10 second thought. I end up listening to him for about 15 minutes on my ride home a few times a week and the most frustrating thing about him is it takes him forever to spit out a thought.

I'm not sure how people don't get this. The back-up QB line was pretty spot on. There is a stated philosophy for the team by a very successful and well-respected coach, who is still in the pretty early stages of gathering all the ingredients for "cooking up a gourmet meal". Oh, by the way...

I might agree in some instances, but I've seen so many kids and pro's go from very shaky shooters to very good/reliable shooters through hard work. Also seen plenty of kids who looked like great shooters, until they hit a certain level of defense being played against them. Currently watching a...

For older fans, now. Been around 21 year old college players for 35 years or so. It never gets mental to them. They have no concept or real concern for what happened before they arrived. They move on faster and better than any of us can believe. At that age, tomorrow is a another day where...

Just saying that any of us who were not at yesterdays practice and the morning shoot-around, probably don't know much about the defensive game plan, specific defensive assignments and specific rotations when this or that happens. Yes, everybody misses defensive assignments, but the people...

Ranked teams can generally take a couple of your offensive weapons away. As for Coach P not putting Johnson in yet, pretty sure we know the reason. Once had a coach tell me, "I know he scores 18 a game, but he gives up 21! I play him, we lose, until he shows that he can get a stop when we...

Good to see we're hanging in there after a half!

I've literally asked the question about when a shooter should not shoot to so many coaches, announcers, and players and the answer is always--"Never". If that's your role, you have a wide open look and feel in rhythm, don't hesitate, take the shot. Doesn't matter if you're 6 for 7 or 1 for...

I can see you're not an analytics nerd. Thought it might be fun for one of those guys to do a deep dive into the numbers to determine which one should be let go "First". Be sure to show your work kids! :)

Alright all you analytic nerds. Any of you have the time to tally up and compare all the Anti-coach posts on the Iowa board as compared to the Minnesota board since the first of the year? Thinking that the coach with the most negative posts should be the first one fired, right? Maybe break it...

Alright! On pace to hold Iowa to just 40 points tonight. :)

Well, whatever got into them in the final 8 minutes--Bottle It!. Don't give up on this team early! Nice to see Holloway get some big lay-ups in the 4th. I saw that Rose, came into the game, immediately got a big steal that converted to a lay-up late in the game. And the free throw...

I still can't figure out why people actually bet money on things they have absolutely zero control over.

Just has a chance to watch the highlights of last nights game. Man, must have been 6-7 moments when it looked like Michigan was about to nail the coffin shut, only to see the Gophers get back in it. An amazingly exciting game! Great finish! Probably doesn't mean anything in the big picture...

The problem was first; assuming that the conference made the call. Second; advancing the ridiculous theory that one team might be ducking games in post #22. That's what I felt was a pretty uncalled for assumption from a position of not having any way of knowing what was being discussed with-in...

Exactly. I think for some, the idea that the circumstances/timing for both teams travel was exactly the same, therefore, it MUST be that one team was ducking the competition to avoid taking a loss. Conspiracy theories are far easier for some folks to go with than exploring all the different...

You're saying that the decision was made before Friday, at which time the fires were gong on full blast in the area? The story indicates that Friday was when they announced they weren't making the trip. Even though the winds aren't getting really bad again until a little later today, I think...

One thing to consider is that the Santa Ana winds are expected to whip up to a consistent 50mph again today, vastly increasing the fire danger in the L.A. area. Of course, these wildfires can be wildly unpredictable and even if they don't directly affect LAX and the 2 campuses right now, it...

How his players (and His Assistant Coaches) respond will certainly tell everything you need to know. Not strictly in terms of wins and losses, but more in terms of how they approach games, practice, and everything else associated with being part of a college basketball program. I thought calling...
