True, its not as bad as it used to be. Still not good. Other of note, TCU last year was a terrible court, Ohio St. looks like the ice rink that for a couple years the Barn used to resemble before common sense prevailed. Do you remember when the court's borders were just painted lines, not maroon contrast, and guys were always stepping out of bounds in the corners?

Our court was awful until they put in the maroon boarder, not sure who thought no boarder was a good idea.

Some of the courts in the NBA are getting ridiculous.

I don't know if he's being told to have horrible takes or state inaccurate things to get people riled up but he certainly seems to get off on it. It's pathetic.

He 1000% is paid to be an opinionated jackass.

I'm not saying you're wrong but I fail to see the benefit for the Star Tribune for him to do that.

He draws eyeballs....some people read his stuff because they like it.....others read it to see what outrageous thing he is saying so they can get pissed off about it.....in the end they don't care why they read it as long as people read it.

I bet it's been 7-8 years since I've read anything from him by actually going to the star tribune site. Most stupid things he says are reported here or on twitter so there's little need to actually go to their website.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I would give them more clicks and eyeballs if it was actually good writing.

I'm in the same boat you are, only time I see his stuff is on here. But they must be getting what they want because they keep giving him a paycheck to do what he does.
 






It seems unclear whether Nemo Turner is actually "hurt" or just doesn't want to burn his red shirt. I guess I can't blame him too much if it's the later but they could sure use him.
 

Quit drinking the local water, we’re dying here. Someday I keep saying it will actually be OUR year!

There is less than zero chance that Reusse has some kind of scoop in regards to JCJ's injury status. He's just throwing crap against the wall and hoping it sticks. Like Charley Walters.

Picturing this as the conversation....
Reusse: Will JCJ be back for Oregon?
Niko: No. Not sure when we will get him back.
Reusse writes he may be out for the rest of the season.

This take did not age well.

Sure didn't.....but I stand by what I said that Niko didn't give Reusse some kind of scoop IMO

Probably because with what minimal Gopher Basketball "Beat" coverage exists, none of the local press made the trip to the West Coast.

Niko had the info. Nobody asked him.

His column is just part of the process of turning the Startribune from unbearable to read into an all in out Rag. The printed verison isn't even toilet paper quality anymore. This goes for the online verison as well. As a friend mentioned this morning, how would you like to be on the woman's team after program changing milestone win and not seeing even a mention there was a game last night? Isn't it time for the old fossil Glen Taylor to sell this asset as well? He had better or there will not be anything left to sell.

Just not true. Gold medal win article was like the sixth article down scrolling on Strib.
