USC lost 71-36 to Saint Mary's, but at least their football team is making it worth the addition

Go Gaels!

Imagine losing out on Dusty May to give give Mike Woodson one more year

I like where Dusty May landed. He’s bringing a program back from the dead.

Woodson's got to go. He's "coaching" like it's 1990 and he has Ewing and Oakley down on the blocks. College basketball isn't played that way anymore. Add to that his laziness in recruiting and it's clear he's not going to get it done. The state of Indiana had their best class of in-state seniors in years and he lost out on all but the third-best one. One has to wonder if they would have gotten that kid if he hadn't been the first one to commit. He couldn't be bothered to get off the golf course or out of his office to go see these kids and build a relationship with them.  Going to high school games is assistant coach work (DWS).

I'm pretty happy Wisconsin stuck with Gard. So many were calling for his head.

Big game tomorrow night. Will help clarify expectations of this year's Michigan team.

I know it became increasingly lame as we got Nebraska-Pitt, but it does kind of suck to see the Big Ten-ACC Challenge not on the schedule this year.  For the first decade or so it existed, I loved it

Nice shot Dix.

Heck of a game. Feels like the Big Ten is gonna have a lot of randomness this year

Tough week to be a Michigan fan

Terrifically sloppy game from the Badgers. Just some stupid rushed decisions.

I think college basketball just has a lot of randomness now.  How many teams have multiple starters they just bought out of the portal?  Purdue seems to be the one program having high-end success, through actual program building anymore
