My primary concern is linebacker depth. Cody has really never stayed healthy. And should he go down, does that spell disaster as it did last season? Big picture: -Will the Gophers be AT LEAST able to pass OPPORTUNISTICALLY, i.e., (i) on non-passing downs, (ii) when favorable defensive...

What part of Florida is your restaurant in? I'm in Tampa. ...I'd stop by some time if you're within a halfway reasonable range.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pa7AGs2uRXw God forbid we actually post about the team.

Absolutely fantastic. Congratulations, Jah! You've earned everything you've attained thus far. ...And you will attain FAR more! May God continue to bless you.

Got a good feeling about this. Real good.

Totally agree that Hawkins would penetrate the lane, scramble the defense and then identify his passing opportunity. It was fun to watch, and very effective at times. In fact, I think it would get more effective as the players developed more and more chemistry. ...But, alas. I think you...

Who identified a certain point guard in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, despite his being too small and unproven at the high-major level? Oh. That's right. The coach that clearly knows nothing about basketball. Now that he's been seen playing at the high-major level, he's a commodity...

I think all of this is an opportunity. It doesn't matter that the Gophers don't have a history of championships, or a state of the art arena, or a celebrity coach, or the very best facilities, or an academic reputation on par with Stanford. And so on. Just produce the $$. That's doable. $$...

I'm nervous about linebacker -- based on last year, the Gophers are perilously thin there. Maybe the staff knows something I don't. But I would have prioritized bringing in a transfer. Not sure I understand the thought process that led them away from that.

Big picture, I think this is good news. You don't need the best arena. You don't need the best facilities. You don't need the best academic offerings. You don't need a history of championships. You don't need a famous coach. You don't need anything other than money. That's opportunity...

Jack jones, May I ask: from memory, it seems that there were several occasions in which the left guard and center seemed out of sync with one another in pass protection. As in, they'd each pass a blitzing LB or stunting DL to each other, as though each one was expecting the other one to handle...

Tom Waddle... My brother had a theory that Waddle didn't actually exist. According to his theory, every week a random fan got to dress up as "Tom Waddle" and live out his dream, hence explaining "Waddle's" extraordinary play despite his obvious lack of any athletic capacity at all! It's a...

Holy shit. 11 years of lurking. May I ask: are you, by chance, employed by a certain three-letter agency?

Top view is hilarious. Literally no contact. Total flop. This world is crazy. And Dukies are pussies.

Similarly, anyone that wants to end drinking at the games shouldn't get to be a part of NCAA basketball. Lifetime ban. There. Done. Problem solved via the appropriate penalty. ...Bottoms up!

Really didn't see anything that would lead to that kind of reaction or any sort of injury. Flop.

"Lake Harriet." Isn't it "Lake Umi-Chunga-Changa-Chow-Chow" or something like that now?

You, sir, are correct.

The 70 point thing is based on several years of data collection that I've done (and published here, from time to time). Each year -- over 3-4 years -- the 25th percentile is basically 70 points on the dot. Now, this doesn't mean a game can't be won with fewer points. Because 25% are. What it...

This team is going to be at least middle of the pack. The main reasons are: (1) this team can score at least 70 on most nights; (2) and they can score in that volume by way of loading the floor with at least 3 or 4 players who can shoot; and (3) the other main factors that go into winning are...
