Of the Michigan players, Brown and Smith are gone, but Dickinson is probably staying. If he goes, that would mean 5 of the 6 top players with the most minutes for Michigan from last year are gone.

Next time I see her I'll tell her to ignore my chart, medical literature, and her years of training and experience. She should start reading sports forums where experts in every field frequent and share their wisdom.

If ignoring much of my doctor's advice through the years makes me "not a big science guy" then I fit the bill. The upshot is, as an older guy I now have a whole host of health issues, and my doctor now advises me I should avoid large gatherings because of those issues. The possibility of...

Not sad at all. I'm not hiding inside with the curtains drawn. I am enjoying life and don't mind saving the time and money watching games from the comfort of home. I do miss the roar of the crowd and the camaraderie that exist live, but thinking through the pluses and minuses, for me the...

I fit into that older demographic and don't plan on attending any live athletic events, plays, concerts or the like anytime soon. I'm sure many others are like me, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the product on the court or stage; it's all about avoiding crowds to avoid COVID.

There seems to have been plenty of sniping directed at Johnson from the moment he was hired--no need for other programs to get involved.

The article totally screwed up the school's name. I lived in Indiana while in grad school at Purdue, and the name just didn't sound right. I asked my wife who was born and raised in Indiana and she said not only is there no such school, but Indiana doesn't have community colleges (but some of...

Those sound like qualities that would be good for a head usher or alumni director.

I'm nowhere near the athlete Fox is, but my experience tearing ligaments 40 years ago backs this up. The mental recovery was more difficult and prolonged than the physical for me.

I wondered about the layoff as well. Some high impact sports it's probably an advantage. Not so much a sport like softball or baseball. And Michigan does have an excellent 1-2 punch in pitchers. In their Wednesday game with Michigan State Storako struck out 22 batters ( in 9 innings), a school...

I haven't been following this all that closely, but was there anyone writing about this hire with a source other than the dude who broke the story? Was the "it's a done deal" just internet buzz based on the initial unverified claim?

There really is no such thing as a done deal before everything is signed and closed. Anybody who's been in business very long has been burned by "done deals" falling through. So from the players' view, assuming they are a package deal with the coach, it's in their best interest to wait until...

I suspect salary alone is not enough to entice some of the better up and coming assistants; they want to believe they are going to associate with a winning program to advance their careers. Even the most optimistic posters here believe there will be a difficult, two-year (or more) rebuild. Extra...

It's a good thing Pitino didn't get hired to coach the Lobos last year; they didn't have any home games this season. The governor imposed a 14 day quarantine upon re-entering New Mexico for anyone travelling out of state, so the coach moved the team to Las Vegas so they could have some semblance...

Gottlieb seems to just making shi$ up I doubt he knows anything, but having grown up in Southern California, just has to let his bias color his guess. Btw, I now live in Oklahoma, and the last two searches for HC at Oklahoma State, he tried to insert himself as a candidate (with the help of a...

I doubt he will jump to the NBA anytime soon. His son Jace is a freshman on the team and Jett, class of 2022 is expected to play for him as well.

So his dad only bets on away games?

It was my feeble attempt at humor by stringing together as many descriptors of less physically gifted players that fans tend to clamor for when teams are struggling.

The blue collar gym rats who bring their lunch pails to work and play the right way should start.

I'm really looking forward to the battle between Robbins and Dickinson. It should be interesting.
