I agree with you that free throw percentage is overrated. But those missed front ends KILLED us today. They created empty possessions when we should have had easy points. Not the same as a missed field goal, and you should know that.

I enjoy your basketball analysis. I really do. You have great input. But you constant self-promotion and gloating is very grating, and I'd like your contributions much more if they were provided without such unnecessary self-adoration.

Oh, Nadine...I think you forgot about your first conversation when you had with Sid when he blatantly plagiarized one of your articles word for word and then called you to tell you he didn't and hung up on you!!

Good times.

Go Gophers!!

I honestly had forgotten about this! Yes, that was an awesome memory - I remember just sitting on the other end of the phone wondering what exactly happened...why did I get yelled at when he ripped off my info? That's Sid for you!

Thanks, guys (and ML), glad you like the comments and I'm not typing frantically for no reason. I know for away games I wish I could hear everything said, and only a quote or two makes it to the articles.
 

GopherLady you're the best! I never tried that Twitter thing til you.

Sid is a jerk. I used to valet at a local private country club that Sid was a member of, and once he treated me (18 years old at the time) so badly that management made him come out and personally apologize to me. I've never read his column or listened to him on the radio since.
 

My favortie Sid story came from Bob Sansevere. I was listening to KQ and he told a story about Sid at some sports banquet. Sid came in late and sat down at the table and ate his tomato soup. He complained the entire meal that the tomato soup was cold. Bob said everyone at the table was laughing because Sid had actually downed the entire bowl of French dressing....not soup.
 



The postgame quotes are very much appreciated! Thanks for posting them.

How about Sid's return to the barn featuring Clem Haskins.

So glad you've seen the light. Honestly, it's my only source of news now, I see it on my feed, and know about it before I could even google it. My only frustration is people not on Twitter that text me "news" hours, days or weeks later!

Another great one was this week - PMac tweeted a good story. I guess he was at an event at Target field, and ordered a Summit. The Bartender says it's $7.50, so Sid takes out $2.00, puts it on the bar, and walks away!

That was classic! I have pictures from the rushing of Sid to Clem!
