It looks like Dilly has a decent outside shot. He's very quick. He moves the ball well, though I wouldn't call him an "ooh-ahhh" passer. He gets eaten for lunch by the big fellas when he tries to get to the rim. All in all, it looks like he's got decent offensive skills with upside. His size...

I was at TC tonight. Fairly decent game against a mediocre Lakers game. After years and years of many nights with 3K in the building its fun to see the upper deck substantially full. I recognize that Randle is a good NBA player. I just can't stand his game. He kills ball movement. (Ant...

In a perfect world that's how it would be done. It's not a perfect world.

I am so sorry. Dog death clobbers your soul. I still get choked up when I think about putting our very good boy down four years ago. Ogee is right about getting a new dog quickly and puppyhood being highly overrated. I love our current good boy like I loved the last one and I appreciate...

There are a lot of people on here puffing out their chests about quitting. We have no idea what's going on in his life or in his head. Playing football, especially at that level, hurts like hell. Maybe he reached point where he couldn't take the pain anymore. Who knows...

That criteria is not as relevant in the NIL era where every athlete is a free agent every year. If you don't have the dough, you aren't going to put on a show. Unfortunately, Coyle is way behind in providing the resources necessary for success. We'll never know if CBJ could coach or run a...

I would definitely consider Staley. She can coach, commands respect and would draw a lot of attention to the program. I think both Staley or Reeve would find being pioneers appealing and the NBA isn't ready to take that step yet.

Why not Cheryl Reeve. We know she can coach. We know she commands respect. $2-3M/year is a lot more than she makes now. She's probably bored with the WNBA and is looking for new challenges. It would instantly bring a massive amount of attention to the program, which might bring money and...

Love it! Thanks Bleed and Gopher Lady!

It can also be argued that Sam's attitude is that his performance this year proves how good he really is, so it's time to get paid. Also, I'm sure he's very happy to be a Viking. I'm equally sure that he's tired of hearing that the reason he's producing is because of KOC. Guys who lack...

I would have put the Lions on the luck-o-meter.

Money doesn’t buy happiness but it does buy freedom, especially freedom from worry. Also, professional athletes generally have big egos. If there’s another qb making $30M and you have comparable numbers, you want the validation of a comparable contract.

Agreed. For those people who think the money will flow for the next coach, no established coach will come because the money hasn't been raised to pay the players. That means Coyle or his successor will have to take another big chance. Maybe it will work.

Asuma and Mike Mitchell are legit B1G players.

He left for the payday. Same for Payne, Hawkins and Christie (NBA). Hensley, too. (I think that's his name.) He had talent. We had to suffer through his freshman mistakes so somebody else could pay him.

Ben's quality recruits: Christie (NBA) Battle (NBA) Hawkins Garcia Payne Mike Mitchell Asuma Peyton Willis JOJ Sutherlin Fox Is this an all star cast? Outside of the two NBA players, no. Is it a respectable showing considering the lack of money to sign and retain players? Yes. If Payne and...

The real coach has a .500 B1G record, which is good compared to his predecessors. He wins press conferences, he wins post games, he wins locker room dives and he kills at contract negotiations. He's mediocre in games that count, mediocre in attendance and has never sniffed a conference...

He's not blameless and I've said it's time for him to go. However, a B1G program today without money is Bethune Cookman, no matter who is the coach. Every player in the country is a free agent every year and it takes money to get them and keep them. Unless Coyle raises significant money, he's...

As I've said before, Ben was a reasonable risk at the time because he was the anti-Pitino. The biggest criticism leveled at Richard was that he couldn't/wouldn't recruit locally. He supposedly was extremely well regarded in the local HS and AAU communities. That was Ben's strength. He...

Don't know if it has been mentioned on this or any other thread but Greg Olsen is easily the best analyst in football. It used to be Romo but I think he's become a little bored or lazy. The cliches, platitudes and "excitability" have replaced insight and information. Olsen is straight up...
