I still haven't seen contract details. Also curious.

For him, I'd think if he believes in Ben, a couple good seasons would set him up very nicely to take a look at HC opportunities of his own.

I think the other side of this is that if you're going to tell your developmental prospects (through over-use of the portal) that you don't have faith in them and their hard work will not pay off, you'll see them go to other programs themselves. And sometimes that's the right move for them. But...

That's a wild and cool connection. Thanks for sharing!

I love reading a good shit post first thing in the morning!

Not only that, but the Elite Eight was four 1 seeds, three 2s, and a 3.

Yeah, well, Nebraska fans would've seen a lot better football over the past decade if they hadn’t subscribed to this thinking. Kirk has been on the precipice twice since 2004, just couldn’t quite get there in 2009 or 2015. Still, three west titles is nothing to sneeze at. I’d also point you to...

No, it wasn't that different, and I agree, nobody needs to shit on him. I also don't think we need to glaze each other and pretend he was better than he was. Good in some ways, subpar in others. Average coach imo, but I respect those who make the case that he's above average given suspect...

2 games above .500 in B1G play. Also, of those 11 seasons, 4 were .500. He was above .500 in just 7 of his 15 seasons.

What's average? And what's average from someone of Fran's length of tenure? I will concede he was above average. But not by much. In all fairness, .581 is above .500. But his B1G record is two games above .500. And in the dance, he's 6-12.

I saw Manyawu entered the portal as well. I don't have the basketball IQ to say whether he has what it takes to in the B1G, but I enjoyed watching him play at Drake. He's 6-8, 228. GP MIN FG% 3P% FT% REB AST BLK STL PF TO PTS 2024-25 35 18.8 57.8 0.0 49.5 5.3 0.9 0.7 1.3 2.6 1.1 7.1...

You know, Peter Dinklage wanted dwarves dropped from the Snow White movie no one will see. I wonder if he just wants a monopoly on short-roles.

Yeah. You'd expect them to have... grown out of it by now. I will see myself out.

Is his buy-out contingent on him not working? I would think this just means Penn pays him next to nothing while he collects 3.5 or 4 million from Iowa, but I am more familiar with how this works in professional sports.

Yeah, scholarships. The state schools were not generous in my case.

Same way with Drake and playing football in the Pioneer league. Except, many kids they actually recruit are on a full "academic" scholarship, oftentimes with additional need-based aid... regardless of their actual academic record or financial need. Go figure.

Yeah, but he has to stomach the Philly airport. I had a layover there once, and it was like stepping into 1992. And not in any sort of good way. Is there even a good way?

I went to Drake. Was cheaper than Iowa, UNI, or ISMoo. It was all about the money for me.

Looking like a 10 day walk or a 3 day bike ride. Oh, and ten hours by private car.

I sent my wife a couple cool houses in the IC area after the press conference. Not happening this year, but who knows, maybe eventually.
