Miller with P5 offers from Arizona State, Iowa State, Oregon State, and Wisconsin. With 247 (formerly Scout) ranking Miller at 221 at the position, WR must be the most over inflated recruiting position. It's been this way for years, but what I'm getting at is that with about FIFTY four-star WRs ever...

So what do you make of UCLA football so far? Because if I rooted for the Bruins I'd be well on may way to questioning whether Chip can relive his Oregon magic with UCLA. Last season was unforgivably abysmal. Yes the Bruins got better towards season's end, but they shouldn't've been as bad as they st...

Another lineman aboard - OT Woody Jean from Florida with other P5 offers from Indiana, Rutgers, and Syracuse.

That's two quality lineman commits in last few days.

Haven't contributed yet to this thread, nor am I making a case for Tucson's best, but whenever I'm in Tucson my two restaurant stops are always Oregano's and Sushi Garden. Usually the Oregano's on Orange Grove and usually the Sushi Garden at Foothills Mall.

Marshall is long overdue for a promotion out of C-USA football. However BBall isn’t a fit in the Big E.

Edit: What am I even saying? Marshall football AND basketball is a fine enough fit for the AAC.

Idaho fires coach "after he was placed on administrative leave following a consultant's report that found potential NCAA violations."

Why do hotels bother operating pools anymore? I'm not asking for the resort type hotels with poolside bars; it's the interstate/airport hotels I wonder about, with the continental breakfasts and the average guest only there for one night. Pools come with maintenance costs, legal liability, and are f...

I would be PISSED as a Michigan fan if they hire Hurley. What exactly has Hurley done to warrant consideration for a better D1 job? Juwan Howard is a better (still not great) hire, and Donovan isn't happening. I'm not buying Juwan Howard as a head coach of a college program. Just doesn't check the ...

Every time a Senior Citizen breaks their hip, insurance payouts should factor in whether the result of the broken hip was due to said Senior Citizen involving themselves in an activity they clearly should've avoided at their age. For starters an 82 year old redoing his 25ft high roof.

UCLA has been getting more international applicants, thus elevating its status worldwide. It's not as though Berkeley has plummeted in the rankings; they're obviously right up there. These squabbles over who's ahead are very silly. If you get into UCLA, Berkeley or UofM, you did incredibly well in ...

I would be very surprised, though, if the next guy does as well as Beilein. He's a once in a generation coach.

My thoughts too - Michigan is more likely to return to the 22 wins/seasons, Tommy Amaker bubble.

Along with speculating who Michigan targets for Beilein's replacement, anyone mind guessing why Beilein left in the first place?

I'm hearing they're gonna go after Bennett. Along with speculating who Michigan targets for Beilein's replacement, anyone mind guessing why Beilein left in the first place? Is it as simple as doing what Izzo wouldn't do ten or so years ago and take up Dan Gilbert's offer for higher profile NBA work?

RIP Coach Tomey

My Arizona fandom started too late for me to appreciate Tomey's work, but I do remember watching the 1998 Holiday Bowl Vs Nebraska and being impressed with how rare it was for anybody to go toe-to-toe against the Cornhuskers like that.

All the off court drama sucks a lot of enjoyment from it. That said, when I go to an Arizona game, I enjoy it as much as ever. I've never cared if the players are paid. I like to watch Arizona basketball, and when it gets down to that, I enjoy it as much as ever. It's having to deal with the media ...

First time in Portland's airport yesterday. Terminals without the typical warehouse-y atmosphere due to their openness and expansive sun roof, which works for the sunny days the Northwest less commonly receives. Not sure how much improvement a sunroof gives to those endless days of drizzle.

St John's is likely going to land Cluess from Iona For a St. Johns program that needs stability more than anything, Cluess is the better hire.

Considering career accomplishments for Alford vs. Cronin it is Tweedle Dee vs. Tweedle Dum.
