if the game stops and the refs are huddling up, you know something happened. then they show replays of the same play 10 times. likewise with a serious injury. my point is that announcers can add something to the experience of watching a game IF they can explain strategy or illustrate why a...

attended the Band Days games as a member of my HS band in 1968, '70 and '72. later on went to several games when I was attending college in the Cities and/or living in the Cities. overall - no amenities (but at the time, we accepted it because we had nothing nicer to compare with). plank...

over the years, I have tried to train my brain to filter out most of the noise. I will perk up and pay attention if/when the announcers say something that I cannot see for myself simply by watching the game. in short, my test - if you watched the game with the sound off, would you miss...

the real issue is knowing when to pull the plug on a veteran QB. if the team starts to go downhill and you're saddled with a huge contract for an older QB, that's a problem. so the trick is to structure those contracts so that the team can get out of them at some point without dooming the team...

yeah - no matter how much Boras wants to yell about "the orthopedic industry," there was something in Correa's medical reports that caused two different teams to say "no" to a big-money, long-term contract. couple that with back-to-back seasons seeing multiple games lost to foot problems, and...

the SDSU situation is getting.....interesting. apparently lots of rumors that the former coach is trying to take a lot of his former players with him to Washington State. several alumni of the program and previous coaches are speaking out, calling for the current players to be loyal to the...

it's a case where all the dominoes will have to line up the right way - good team - favorable schedule - win the close games - avoid injuries - get a few breaks from the officials. so yeah, it's possible. but maybe once every 7-10 years. And - when that year rolls around, you have to take...

my mental image of the NCAA headquarters right now is a bunch of people just running around blindly crashing into the furniture and each other. Or something like the stateroom scene in "A Night at the Opera" - one of the Marx Brothers' classic comedies. they have lost all control and are...

I just hope it won't take a MIRACLE to WHIP the Hokies........ (yes, I feel shame......)

I'm not going to pile on the "they got the seeding wrong" bandwagon. this is the 1st year for an expanded playoff - and we don't know if this is a trend or an anomaly. but, I have a suspicion that in the era of NIL and unlimited transfers, we are going to see fewer undefeated 'super teams.'...

full disclosure - I will not be watching the game in real time. I have another obligation tonight - made before I knew the date of the bowl game - so I will DVR the game and watch it on Saturday. If possible, I will try to sneak some peeks at the score during the evening. it stinks when real...

Gophs are 3-9 tonight. The 2-11 stat is - I believe- Odukale's season numbers.

Oh, well.

Dammit- can't have these turnovers.

Patterson not jacking up 3"s and looking for better shots. Hopefully a positive sign.

Messy at times, but the Gophs are in the game. Now, can they do it for another 20 minutes?

Meanwhile, in the Wolves/Celtics game, the two teams combined for 52 3pt attempts in the 1st half. 31 by the Celtics!

Pretty clear that Purdue is focusing their defense on Garcia and Mike Mitchell- and shall we say - not as worried about the rest of the lineup.

Betts doin' some work.
