    ***OFFICIAL RUTGERS VS MINNESOTA BIG TEN TOURNAMENT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    All 10 players are above free throw line extended when we have the ball. I guess Rutgers has decided to defend the 3 tonight, huh?

    The Indiana AD is already on the phone proactively declining their Crown invite.

    Lost 91-42. Damn, if you’re gonna go out, go out with your pants around your ankles, I guess. Looks like while the Hurley smug asshole gene was divided evenly between Bobby and Dan, Bobby got all the good player genes while Dan got all the good coaching genes from their dad.

    Multiple media outlets list Mark Coyle as a candidate to replace Mitch Barnhart who is retiring as Kentucky AD

    I think he's done ok overall, but my snarky comment pointed more toward the feeling that he's a recluse who's rarely available to the public. Fans almost never see or hear from the guy, which as the de facto CEO of a major university's athletics department, isn't optimal (at least to me).

    Multiple media outlets list Mark Coyle as a candidate to replace Mitch Barnhart who is retiring as Kentucky AD

    I mean, if he left for another job, would any of us actually know that he left?

    They know that without that gimmick there will be 2,500 fans in attendance every game. They’re desperate.

    Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2025

    PJ's guys have gotten some healthy second contracts: Mafe, Winfield, Faalele, Bateman, Cashman have all done nicely and are young enough to potentially get another bite at the apple, especially Winfield.

    If Peacock were a nut sack, Jeremy Fears Jr. would kick it.

    Bobby Cremins and Lethal Weapon 3 ain't walking through that door, Georgia Tech (because I've had a curse on those bastards since the 1990 regional final).

    With the 11 seed we’re on a path to play 3 teams we’ve beaten this year (all at home). I’m sure the very short bench will pose a challenge in back-to-back (to back? to back?) games, but let’s keep this entertaining season going!

    Fears the squirrel went searching for nuts again

    How many nuts does a guy have to donkey kick before the conference takes the discipline out of Izzo’s self-interested hands and levies the punishment itself?

    ***OFFICIAL NORTHWESTERN AT MINNESOTA SENIOR NIGHT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Crazy finish in Eugene. Ducks blow a 21-point lead, get it back on a 4-point play with 11 seconds left, then salt it away when Sprinkle is ejected and they hit 4 FTs. Looks like we’re the 11 seed in the tournament!

    ***OFFICIAL NORTHWESTERN AT MINNESOTA SENIOR NIGHT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Getting killed on the offensive boards by Northwestern certainly isn’t a positive.

    ***OFFICIAL NORTHWESTERN AT MINNESOTA SENIOR NIGHT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Our defense has been trying to bleed clock for the entire second half. Not much rhythm at all.

    He's had good physical therapists over the years, I imagine. And, now he flies charters with full lie-down seats. That's how a 38-year-old can still be banging in the NBA.

    Not Enough Planes

    I recall flying home to Chicago from SFO after a business meeting back in 2007. The Stanford men’s basketball team boarded for their game at Northwestern and sat in coach. It was painful to watch Brook and Robin Lopez try to fold their 7-foot frames into those tiny seats and sit like that for...

    Remember when Micah Shrewsberry was a hot coaching candidate and we longed for him to take us out of the Pitino years? I’m watching the Duke-ND game and see the Irish are 12-15 (soon to be 12-16 since Duke’s already up by 20 with 8 minutes left in the first half) this season, and his career...
