Shawn Eichorst's Toupee

Apparently, Kidd doesn't have a degree and might need a waiver from the NCAA/Cal?

The MOU stuff can get messy. When Greg Schiano was hired and subsequently unhired as Tennessee football coach because the fan base didn't think he was good enough he didn't do his due diligence at Penn State, there was talk about how UT potentially owed him the value of his contract. I think it just died quietly in the night, but I'm not sure. I have no insight into Bill and Fred's conversations (if they happened), but Bill strikes me as someone who only gets lawyers involved when he has to.

Nightmare scenario: Tim goes on a tear and wins the NIT. Fred gets antsy waiting and accepts the Arizona job. Tim gives Bill the middle finger and finds another job. Bill can't find anyone, settles with Ernie Kent.

If you can somehow teach knowledge from it, it's all yours! Education is important - even if it is educating Hawkeye fans.

Maybe you do know people who know things. But to me, it feels like you state everything as fact and refute everyone else's opinions out of hand without acknowledging that other posters also might know people who know things. In which case, I can come up with three explanations: You truly do know people who know things. Why spend so much time arguing with everyone on the board? Just wait for the facts to become public knowledge, come back, tell everyone told you so, and then watch as people take your insight more seriously next time. You know people who think they know things. They may or may not be right, but again we'll find out eventually and you can double down on your stances for as long as you like. It sucks to be lead astray and have to eat crow; I'd guess most people on the board could empathize with that. You don't actually know people who know things. Are you just making stuff up for the attention? Are you trying to manifest things into existence by putting out that energy into the universe? Again, totally your prerogative - many people don't have the time or patience to give that energy to you. Regardless, it seems somewhat juvenile to say "I have the best ball, lot's of people are telling me it's the best, and everyone should want to play with it." But then if people are trying to argue about which ball is better, you come back and say "I'm not willing to debate which ball is best, so I'm just going to take my ball and go home."

Here's what I keep coming back to. Moos could have easily prevented ALL of this kerfluffle by releasing a statement post-Iowa, pre-Big Ten Tourney and said "Wow, what a great comeback. We have positive momentum heading into post-season play and we have the draw to make a run. Regardless of what post-season tournaments we end up in, I'll wait until our season is officially complete before making a decision on Tim's status as a head coach." Maybe I'm naive, but doesn't that cover all bases from 0-1 against Rutgers to 5-0 NCAA bid?

If you don't want to get dunked on, keep playing defense.

Steve Masiello was put on leave when Manhattan found out he didn't have a degree. Not sure if that was because he didn't have it or because he lied and said he did.

If Amir 1. doesn't get mono and 2. could shoot just, like, a tiny little bit.... Man.

The wrestling team is ranked #7. Can't say I follow the team, so not really sure if this year is an outlier or not. But 6 of the top 8 teams are all from the Big Ten. Talk about a stacked conference.

"Too soon" - Jim Boeheim, probably.

Why not? This thread has almost 600 replies and 23,000 views. Clearly, anyone who has even a small interest in Nebraska basketball knows how this might end and that includes Tim. He might be dumb, but he's not stupid. It seems pretty simple: Win games and stay, lose games and get fired. That is true whether or not he says anything publicly about it. As mentioned previously, it seems like Tim was just being Tim and if you're going to get the boot, you might as well go as your honest and true self.

I worked as an intramural ref for flag football a couple years ago at UNL. Most of the full-time staff members working at the Rec do high school games on the side and pushed us to get certified to do the same. When I'd go watch my siblings play JV football and basketball, I recognized a lot of the refs from work.

@ me next time, you coward.

I did the research: Since Tim's been here, he's won 60 games against Power 6 Conference teams (Pac 12, Big 12, Big Ten, ACC, SEC, Big East). At the time of the game, the number of teams that were at or above 0.500 in their conference is 17 (This excludes 11 non-conference games as those teams did not have a conference game recorded yet. It also excludes the 2 Big Ten opener W's when the opponent was 0-0). At the end of the season, the number of teams that were at or above 0.500 in their conference is 15 (This excludes the 7 wins from this season as the season isn't over yet). To reference your particular stat: In the last 2 seasons (55 games), he's won 21 games against Power 6 Conference teams (Pac 12, Big 12, Big Ten, ACC, SEC, Big East). At the time of the game, the number of teams that were at or above 0.500 in their conference is 7 (This excludes 5 non-conference games as those teams did not have a conference game recorded yet. It also excludes 1 Big Ten opener W when the opponent was 0-0). At the end of the season, the number of teams that were at or above 0.500 in their conference is 3 (This excludes the 7 wins from this season as the season isn't over yet).

Yeah, I get that. But hindsight is 20/20. At the time of the game, they were #25, Assembly Hall was loud, and the Hoosiers played like they wanted to win. In that specific moment, the team didn't shy away from the challenge.

I really don't understand how the same team can be flustered by mini-runs AND also lose an 18 point lead yet still win by 15 at Indiana.

Yes, thank you!

Nahhh Bron is going to get the NBA to change the 1 and done rule so the Lakers can draft Bronny from high school. Gotta be the first father-son duo to play together.

Real quick, can you remind me of Lue's coaching style? Outscore teams in a run and gun shootout? Play lockdown defense and take the air out of the ball? Orrrrr.... Give the best basketball player in the history of the sport the ball and tell him to win lots of games?

3 games in 6 days with the first 2 against ranked teams. No gas left in the tank. In the last couple minutes, Sparty got within 4 or 5 and went with hack-a-Nojel strategy. Career 43% free throw shooter who went 6-6 to ice the game.
