I've heard from more than one person that Edina stands for Every Day I Need Attention. They do have a great French restaurant there however.

If we play anywhere near as good as we did the last time they came to town that bodes well for us.

And one more player drafted. Anterio Thompson, sixth round by Atlanta. Dubuque native who played one year for Iowa in 2023.

Bring it on, Illinivics!

I get it. Sounds a bit far fetched. And Steve Alford wrote in his autobiography that it was literally impossible to try and study after coming down of the participation in an athletic event. But my neighbor across the hall in my dorm was a student manager for the football team who worked with...

Another tidbit on Station. Barry Alvarez with his obvious ties to Nebraska was his recruiter. .According to Barry's book Don't Flinch (arguably the best sports autobiography I have ever read) he discovered to inside track to impressing Station was not necessarily getting to know his coaches...

Matt Roth all day and twice on Sunday. Sanders brought the culture change, Roth brought the swagger. I was at the 2004 senior night vs Wisconsin and Roth easily got the largest ovation among the seniors introduced from the crowd. And there were a lot of seniors in that class that helped usher...

Yeah I know the place is a joke and I know few on this board have heard of them but shout out to Joy Division/New Order for being enshrined in the rock and roll hall of fame. I'm sure Ian Curtis would be elated.

Station was physical and very cerebral. Most famous example was when he shot the correct gap and stooped Michigan 's Joe Morris in the backfield to force a punt, or there is no Rob Houghtlin game winning field goal. Just wasn't quite big or fast enough to do it at the NFL level. Also...

North Carolina did get their NBA man. Just not one of the three I speculated. I thought for sure it would be Billy Donovan, who now is stuck being the last man on a sinking ship in Chicago.

Wasn't Johnson here spring semester of last year. Eligible to practice but not play?

You were correct about the big O. He was a senior on their second year place NCAA team in 1960 (to Bobby Knight's Ohio State team) and thus would have missed their back to back in 1961-62.

OK I gotcha. When you said reel it in I thought you meant walk it back. It's all good:)

Still feel confident that the Iowa men were an NIT team? Forget about reeling that one in, you never should have cast it in the first place. Then you come out with some statement about how "opinions make the world go round". You're not living that one down any time soon. Aren't my opinions...

Well for starters, Oscar Robertson and Patrick Ewing have won NCAA rings. As for the Maravich comp, Pete was an exciting player with in the gym range, great court vision, and a flair for the spectacular. That's where I make the CC comp.

If it is, then it's because she failed to put her other foot on the scale.

Audi had a strange, strange year. Before Christmas she may have the most talked about player in women's college basketball. Then you gradually heard less and less, then little at all. Then a quick tourney exit and now in the portal. Seriously, she needs to get that weight under control. Not...

Oh lordy, if only I remembered what today was. :) I still think she's a female Pete Maravich however.

Not sure if I buy the "silence is apathy" angle. I think she has enough on her plate just being Caitlin Clark. I will say this however. What has she ever won championship wise on any level? I called her on some Facebook poll a while back "the most overrated athlete in American sports". She...

Insiders have told me Connor made his biggest mistake by not sticking with baseball. Perhaps this is consistent with posters claiming he wants to ride off the success of others. In baseball he would have started at the bottom and been forced to prove himself on his own.
