That doesn't make sense - he wouldn't say that a guy drafted in another year was drafted over him. I think he was looking at the Clipper's bench and talking to the head coach or GM but pointing to Christie. Maybe putting a seed in their minds for his eventual free agency. It's not likely he...

Presumably he was referring to Cam Christie, who the Clippers drafted ahead of him in the second round. Christie played 4 minutes that game, with 3 points. Cam played 30 and had 27 points. I do consider that trash talking. It's how elite competitors have to think and motivate themselves, but...

Do you think Iowa State will stay ahead of UConn? More likely the four 1 seeds are Arizona, Michigan, Duke and UConn. We don't need Duke to lose to get a 1 seed.

Ngongba doing well at Duke I see.

Curious why you think Bama has better computer metrics. On Massey's ratings (Massey Ratings - College Football Rankings), Notre Dame is #7 and Bama #11. Notre Dame lost to two playoff teams by a total of 4 points, Bama lost to two playoff teams by a total of 23 points plus a non-playoff team by...

Ed Cooley has a message for everyone who thinks the Fenway Bowl is beneath us: https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/article/providence-coach-ed-cooley-message-spoiled-17800470.php

Iowa State and Kansas State also declined bowls. Coaches and players are increasingly often leaving their teams before the bowls. The bowls are becoming archaic at this point. Maybe they should enlarge the playoff and use late December for play-in games.

Yeah, the committee didn't want to leave the ACC out. I think Notre Dame got jobbed, their losses were the first two games of the season against top teams by 1 and 3 points, and they played a tougher schedule than Miami. Even Texas was better than Miami. How is it good for Notre Dame to be...

We can safely bet that the officials will get big bonuses if Virginia wins.

Yes, you spend a lot of money, and a waiter with red pants gives you lousy service.

For a coach nearing retirement who loves skiing, it may be. Not a better football program, but maybe a better situation for Jim Mora.

Yes. He can probably get as many wins at CSU next year as he would have at UConn, and 5-6 wins looks better coming off a 2-win season than a 9-win season. He got a personal raise in salary and an opportunity to live near the Rockies which he prefers. The big question is how much NIL money can...

If so, he should take it out on the coach who moved his son to defensive back. Jim Mora: https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-football/article/uconn-s-cale-millen-branching-quarterback-spring-17891054.php

The question is, is Hugh Millen just inventing stuff, or is he repeating what he heard from Mora?

Yeah, I like the thought. He's a highly regarded and successful coach at a difficult location. He was very loyal to Northwestern. He did sue them for $130 million, which may put off a bunch of schools (as Kevin Ollie's suit against UConn may have hindered from getting his next job), but that...
