In other words, they don't belong on the list now.

I don't get USC. Outside of the West Coast you don't hear much from them and their team hasn't been a National power for years (1 top 10 and 4 top 25 finishes over the last 10)

Exhibit 1A that recruiting is an inexact science.

Good question. It's anybody's guess how long KFz will stay...could be next year, could be 5 more. I wonder how many current staff would stay if KFz left and Lester stepped up?

This would be the bomb. a 12,000 seat arena where they're packed in like Kinnick. Lots of student tickets.

In a related question, is Lester setting himself up to be the next HC?

No argument on the design. Just saying going to a live sporting event isn't supposed to be as easy as watching it at home on the tube

Curiosly enough, the original design had a mezzanine level with tunnels/exits midway down. I still have the promotional booklet they sent out with the concept drawings. (My Dad was a donor) It was much better than what they ended up with. Fundraising efforts were wildly successful, I have no...

The design was flawed from day 1. This is why.

Great. What's the point of the renovations if they don't do anything for the intensity of the arena? That was my point. Getting the students around the floor is a good start. Getting the seats CLOSER to the floor is the real solution.

College basketball. College students need to be near the court.

Getting up and down the steps a chore? Live sports may not be your thing. As for the rehab. I'll be impressed if they can pull off anything significant without dropping the floor 5-10 feet to bring the seats closer. That's the biggest flaw of the arena by far. Has been since the day it opened...

That was ridiculous.

Yeah, stereotypes are just that. They don't always apply. But when they do, they can be spot on. Regional flavors still exist but not as broadly as they did 25 years ago. I married a Minnesota gal and it's turned out a lot better than my first wife who was an Iowa gal. a LOT better. That said...

The inferiority (self-loathing) complex is spot on. They act it out in various ways. But Minnesotans are more likely to give you the passive-aggressive "it's ok" thing and then stab you behind your back or make some subtle or indirect snide remark (as in your example) That's not Margaret. She's...

Not really. She doesn't fit the profile (or stereotypes) at all. She's a whole different piece of work. Not to mention she hasn't lived in Minnesota for nearly 40 years.

The WNBA is pathetic. The officiating is bad, the play is often bad and the league is poorly managed. Like it or not, there is a certain level of "don't dare say it, or you'll be labeled racist, misogynist, etc" if you call it like it is. North KC mentioned a few NBA players including LeBron...

Some people are making assumptions and perhaps jumping to conclusions. But it's not that "far out there". We are largely the people we choose to include in our lives. It's not a big reach to think she's taken on the McCaffery "brand". Watch her on the court without your black and gold colored...

Too many. 16, no byes.

This team will need to grow up fast.
