I don't Know about Kelly. But as a now retire college and high school basketball official I am in total agreement with you on Ted Valentine, arrogantly strutting around like a peacock as if the fans were there to watch him. Wondering if he finally retired.

Any true basketball fan would know that Martelli is a Philadelphia icon. I’ll write this off as a classy gesture by Howard, rather than a reason to troll him.

Hawkins is playing at a very high level and has improved as the year has gone on. He is their MVP so far and if he keeps this up could be ALL BIG TEN.

Football 101.

That’s a good sign that people will change their minds if given a reason to. Some still cling to insisting they are right, despite the team trending in a winning direction. Hopefully a successful January and February gives them the chance to grudgingly admit they were wrong.

So you are doubling down in being right about Johnson, we all understand that. I am willing to give him this year before decreeing the naysayers are correct and he is a disaster. It is true that the schedule has been soft, and Michigan is a mediocre team. Still winning on the road in the Big...

I’ve never thought of Grimm as an over the top homer, though all team play by play announcers are bound to be partisan as they support the team that approves their employment. But Grimm is an excellent play by play guy, the best they have had in decades IMO. And I go back to Dick Enroth in the...

Too bad for Dennis Evans. But hopefully he can overcome whatever the issue is. Wonder if Evans was promised NIL money and, if so, was it paid?

Why would a good wide receiver transfer here if Fleck wants to run the ball 80% of the time? Hopefully the NH transfer QB can help balance the offense and get the receivers involve.

Shooter has always been clickbait, even before clickbait was a thing. He has always wildly speculated (“people are saying” or “a little birdie says”). I stopped thinking he has much to contribute years ago, and don’t know why the Pioneer Press keeps publishing him.

There is really no question that the BIG BOYS are treated differently. For example, the North Carolina academic scandal of 2014. “For 18 years, at least 3100 students at the University of North Carolina took fake "paper classes," and advisers funneled athletes into the program to keep them...

As pointed out earlier, Lou Hudson, Archie Clark, and Terry Kunze and Don Yates was undeniably the best UMN backcourt to ever play, though Hudson was was really a forward when 6’5” was the usual size for a forward of that era. Hudson is NBA HOF, Clark was a dynamic scorer for the LA Lakers and...

Pitino needed to go. But I’ve not given up on Johnson. He inherited a big mess in 21-22 with almost a complete roster overhaul. Then last year he loses two forwards to season ending injuries, leaving him with little depth. We are seeing progress this year so far, but if there isn’t enough...

There is no upside for the Gophers to play St. Thomas right now. If they beat them Reusse’s response would be “They should have beat them.” If they lost it would have been doom and gloom from the self proclaimed cynic Reusse.

Howard and his strength and conditioning coach threw punches at each other? Nothing says leadership like a physical altercation with your staff. What’s next Juwan? Slapping a player? Throwing a chair at a referee? Cloths lining an opponent as he runs down the court near your bench, like Woody...

Coulda woulda shoulda! We will never know will we?

Stop the chop! Hate the chop!

Well, it is a major educational and research university and economic engine for the state, which is why it exists at all. So there’s that pesky detail.

I believe Archie Clark, Randy Breuer and Jim Peterson and Ralph Sampson Jr. are also available.

Nope! Johnson was dealt a rough hand the first two years, with mass exodus when Pitino was fired and the frontline injuries last year. But this year he has a full squad and mainly his guys, so let’s see how the year goes. It is a make or break time.
