It's cute that you think the athletes take the same classes as the rest of the student body. I'm sure the whole basketball team is taking organic chemistry and mechanical engineering.

So much wrong in a tweet of just a few words. There is no such thing as a zero-star recruit. They were never evaluated and thus don't have a rating. Clayton, for example, not only didn't have "zero stars," but also he had at least 3 Division I offers, including one from some nobody named Rick...

Considering that he's currently (as in, right at this moment) a highly compensated and highly skilled professional football player...yeah, I'd say he could still play.

You beat me to it! I was going to come here and offer my capitulation. I still can't believe he's transferring out, though I guess anything goes in the modern Wild West of major college athletics.

Yes, it would. He's a RS Soph who was always going to take a while to develop, and he was a rotation player on a deep and good Purdue team, not to mention that he contributed very positively in the Tournament, and had the announcers fawning all over him. I assure you he would have many, many...

Heide? WTF? Have you seen anywhere that he is even remotely interested in transferring? He already left home for a vastly superior program (which is also his father's alma mater, incidentally), and should he choose to transfer, he'd also have many other vastly superior programs lining up for his...

Nah, it really is just the coach. This is the first time since at least Haskins' hiring that we have a coach who we hired at the right time and meets the profile. Yet again, we could've done better, but this is a perfectly defensible hire in all respects. I look forward to your eating crow when...

What else is Pitino going to say? "They gave me everything I needed, I just suck at coaching, so I lost anyway." It's human nature to blame external factors for one's failure to succeed. This isn't to say that the U couldn't do more (they definitely could), but he needs to look in the mirror for...

People have tried to draw parallels between the Johnson and Whalen hires for years, but there's really no comparison. Neither had the resume to support them as a Big Ten head coach hire, but at least Whalen was legendary as a player and had a history of winning at all levels. Johnson was...

April Fool's Day is still more than a week away.

I figure because you get 2 steps between dribbles or between a dribble and shot, and he took 3. You can use the weasel word "gather" or whatever you want, it's still a travel. You're talking about how the game is officiated, and I'm talking about what the actual rule is. As I accurately...

It definitely was.

Derik Queen traveled on the game winner, but it's not like traveling is ever called at any level anymore.

Did you have a stroke? Who the hell are Marc Coyle and Marc McCallum?

Sad as hell? I'm literally throwing a party today. And aside from all the other reasons this was a terrible hire, his one "positive" - that he is an alumnus - is sullied by the fact that he didn't choose to go here initially, he transferred. Bye Ben! Don't let the door hit ya where the good...

Ah yes, well-known busts Cam Newton, Andy Dalton, and Tyrod Taylor.

A rookie QB with a higher ceiling than any QB Vrabel had in Tennessee, perhaps. "Ryan f'ing Tannehill," as Ogee called him, had the 6th-highest single season QB rating in league history in 2019. He followed that up with an "off year", only the 47th-highest all-time, in 2020, and then in 2021...

Utah gets drilled in Waco by a top-25 Baylor squad, and that's what took Craig Smith off the list for you? I mean, he wasn't going to come here anyway (we missed our shot 4 years ago), but weird hill to die on, selecting based on road losses to ranked teams.

The only problem with our running game is that we don't run enough. We are somehow 12th in rush attempts as a team (which is shocking to me - I would've guessed 20th-25th before I looked), and almost every single team ahead of us is in or near the playoffs. There is a striking positive...

I can't believe that Rex Ryan is only 62. I see him quite a bit on Get Up on ESPN, and I would've guessed 75. He is only 5 years older than Mike Greenberg, but looks like he could be Greeny's dad.
