Down year confirmed.

Awww, poor ‘lil UNC didn’t get to bully the NCAA for once. Must be tough being held to actual standards. I feel a little bad for the kid but UNC will never get any institutional sympathy from me.

I was in the first class photo like this (I think), for the class of 2013. Awesome to see this become a tradition.

Also a Gopher living in Lincoln. Most exciting place in the world? No. But it’s a safe, clean, growing, (relatively) affordable, and friendly city. Great place to raise a family. I’m not above joking about Nebraska (or other states), but some of you guys clearly need to get off of I-80 next...

I share some of the frustration that Minnesota feels like a school that underperforms a bit in academic and athletic rankings. But expecting it to be among the elite of the elite public schools isn’t very realistic or just a matter of institutional will. It’s not as if we could be Cal if we...

I’m hoping the only non-Midwest additions we get are from the west coast because that would retain some tiny semblance of geographic and cultural cohesion. We’d be a northern/Midwest and west coast conference. Leave the southeast and south central (TX, Oklahoma east through the Carolinas) to the...

I’d add one second category: depending on the year and the specific team, I’d consider cheering for Wisconsin against an overrated SEC team in a (non-playoff) bowl game. Like I’d probably root for a 6-6 Wisky playing a #24, 7-win Tennessee team or something.

Twin Cities. But as a Gopher living in Lincoln, you could do a lot worse.

“Major upset”? We could very well be favored with Wisconsin and Illinois at home. Hardly a major upset regardless if we win. At UNC and Iowa will be tonight but again, the only “major” upset possibilities on our schedule are Michigan and Ohio State.

I’d be thrilled with 8-4, frankly. This schedule is brutal. Near certain losses against Ohio State and Michigan. Probably at Iowa too. We’ll be underdogs at UNC. Wisconsin and Illinois will be tough. Toss ups, IMO. We *should* win the other 6, though PJ is prone to dropping a “should win”...

I know it won’t happen, academics hiring academics and all, but I really wish they’d hire someone who would clean house to combat administrative bloat and lower tuition for in and out of state students. Won’t hold my breath.

Dutcher is not coming here, guys.

Minnesota basketball talent making it big outside of Minnesota. Name a more iconic duo.

ACC had fewer teams, and half of last year’s final four despite (again, I’m pretty sure) fewer teams then. The B1G is, sadly, in an underachievement class of its own.

But at what cost?! Looks with fear and disgust at a dominant Bama team

Alabama Crimson Tide of actual human blood.

You know, being single-digit-win team doesn’t seem so bad right now.

Unqualified coach is hired apparently in large part because of his skin color, turns out to suck at his job thereby proving he was unqualified and hired to check a box, and we’re unfair for wanting him gone? What a joke. Minnesota has had a black basketball coach a majority of my 30+ years. BJ...

And they’re in B’ham (as is Auburn). They got a suspiciously favorable draw.

Hey, the Carlos Correa saga proved anything is possible.
