I really thought you were just making fun of Concordia. But there actually is a misericordia university

Even though I'm an evangelical, I don't lie

I know when Minnesota makes its inevitable coaching change at the end of this year that people will think Nico Medved is the favorite, but if I were them I would latch onto Ben McCollum ASAP. He will be coaching in a power conference soon. It's too bad that Butler went the retread route with Thad because I think he would have been perfect there.

Mods, how are we doing with that Dislike Button functionality?
Please keep us posted.


J/K, by their very existence, the mods keep us posted.

McCollum turned down many D1 jobs over the past few years before going to Drake. I don't think he'll jump immediately from Drake unless their AD Brian Hardin (hopefully) moves to MU to be the AD. If Minnesota doesn't throw millions towards Medved then they're really not serious about hoops.

Wardle could be a legit option for the Gophs too.

Alabama is playing at NoDak? Obviously this shows they're not a big time program.

Pretty, pretty interesting.  Going to scratch Oats off potential HC candidates after Shaka takes the Virginia job

[The Sultan]

It's a 2:1 arrangment that gets Grant Nelson playing back home.

I guess you missed the news that NoDak is now in the SEC, along with St. Thomas of Minnesota (got tired of waiting for a BE invitation) and Bradley.

Bad look for Bama.  UNC never recovered from playing at UNI

No! Wardle needs to come home, period!

It would be like Shaka going to Texas before moving on up to MU. You need to think big picture.

[The Sultan]

All kidding aside, Wardle has done great work at what had become a bad program at Bradley. Not to mention that the school is struggling itself. But he's going to have to do more to get anyone at the Big Ten level interested IMO. I have a feeling that the MVC level is probably best for him.

Minnesota basketball might as well be considered MVC level.
