    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    It is quite literally the worst. If people would stop responding to it and giving it oxygen, I feel like it would eventually give up and go away, but people keep giving its asinine opinions the time of day, and so it keeps posting its horrible nonsense.

    BREAKING: Elijah Hawkins to transfer

    I'm curious about your interpretation of the 6 teams that "far outspend" the others. The #6 team in payroll (Aston Villa) spends about £9 million more than the #7 team in payroll (Tottenham Hotspur). Aston Villa at #6 is closer in payroll to the #19 team than they are to the #1 team. Also, the...

    Gophers vs. Tommies

    It would be embarrassing for me to total my car by running into a unicorn. That's equally as likely as your scenario of them meeting in the Tourney, or of St. Thomas winning a Tourney game - that's a particularly good one.

    Gophers vs. Tommies

    LOL! We are never going to face St. Thomas in the Tourney. The entire concept is laughable. First, they have a long way to go to compete with the top of their own conference. Second, and more importantly, if they somehow did pull an upset and steal a bid, they're going to be a 15 or 16 seed...

    All Things 2023-2024 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    Yes, seriously. A Suns sweep would not have surprised me one bit. The Wolves were swept and thoroughly outclassed in all 3 Suns games this regular season. They were -1.5 at home, meaning they were underdogs on a neutral court, and even bigger dogs in a road game. This game was so absolutely...

    All Things 2024 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    I haven't been able to watch a single Twins game legally this season, and they've sucked so much ass that I haven't bothered to look for an illegal stream.

    It's official: College football is adding the two-minute warning, helmet communication

    He's the worst poster to come aboard recently. He's either a bit (and sucks at it, as it's not funny, clever, original, noteworthy) or is sincere and is really, really stupid. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it's the former, but neither is flattering.

    All Things 2023-2024 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    People will literally bitch about anything, won't they? Everyone (rightly) bitched about the 8 pm start times for a ton of Gophers and Timberwolves home games this year. Everyone here hates the 9:30 pm starts for West Coast games. Now, there's a 6:30 pm start and you're still bitching. Would...

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    There's no way that number is accurate. The Mets played in the World Series in 2015.

    All Things 2023-2024 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    Wolves have played like shit, including a franchise-record 19 turnovers in one half (and considering the history of this franchise, that's saying something). That being said - the bias of the refs is disgusting. Any way they can spin any call in the Suns favor, they do. The NBA has their...

    Oh, and very recently in the 2024 class, Jide Abasiri.

    Spring Practice Observations

    Neat. No, I can't match that, as I've already said. Unlike you, I have the humility to know that I am worse at coaching football than the OL coach for a Big Ten team. How many NFL players did you produce during your illustrious tenure? How did the end of your tenure go so poorly that you've been...

    OJ has passed away

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but he died on April 10. So isn't the joke that the juice expired on April 10? Is there something more I'm not getting, or does this person just suck at meming?

    2023-2024 College Basketball Coaches Hired/Fired Thread

    We aren't, never were, and never will be even remotely approaching Kentucky. This hire is embarrassing for them. This is worse than us hiring Ben Johnson. That's not to say that it can't or won't work out, as stranger things have happened, but on paper this is a disaster.

    Spring Practice Observations

    You're right, I was thinking that as I typed it, that $50K might even be a little high. I looked it up in the interim, and NSU moved from the NAIA to NCAA in 1995 (can't believe it was that long ago), so they were definitely in NCAA Division II when I took the course. And, again, this guy (a...

    Spring Practice Observations

    Yes, a know-nothing message board dipshit knows more about OL coaching than a guy who has been paid millions of dollars to coach the position and has put multiple players in the NFL. Get a fucking clue. More than 20 years ago, when I was still harboring dreams of teaching and coaching at the...

    Northwestern home games

    The relevant math is elementary - it's calculating interest, it's not rocket science. Do you think endowment managers use calculus? Yes, for people managing multi-billion dollar endowments, $100M is a rounding error. You saying that I don't understand endowments, while advancing no argument...

    Northwestern home games

    Yes, I'm well aware of how endowments work, as I have been working in philanthropy for almost 20 years, and specifically in higher ed philanthropy for 13 years. The typical payout is actually more like 4-4.5% for most endowments, more conservative because it allows them to fund ongoing projects...
