@barryisthedon Give money to a conference bottom feeder to try and save your job instead of money to a Top 25 program in the country to allow them to succeed. Self-preservation over anything else for Mr. AD it appears.

@barryisthedon @JimRutledge He’s just trying to preserve his own job. That would be because he gets fired if the football team misses a bowl in 2026 and nothing happens to him if basketball struggles. People will just blame Gard not him.

@JimRutledge 100% Mac needs to get realistic about Badger Basketball Portal resources
English
Right, go get that high major money.
The #Badgers have the budget of a team in the middle of “major schools”
That’s why Gard is so important, he knows how to get the most out of what that athlete department budget allows.
Scary Alvarez@barryisthedon
If (more likely, when) John Blackwell leaves the Badgers for a different team, before you get mad at him and start invoking loyalty, ask yourself this: If a new employer offered you MILLIONS of dollars more than your current job is paying, what would you do? 🤔

@MatthewMKE98 Do we actually know if a single one of these players is interested in this type of contract?
English
If you’re the Brewers
Who do you extend next and why
Jacob Misiorowski
Andrew Fischer
Jesus Made
Luis Pena
Other
Fischer would be the answer for me and I’d get it done QUICK
English
@ReddVencher @robsanders1993 @MatthewMKE98 It’s wild how many people choose to refuse to accept that the player also has to want to do an early extension. Most have no interest.
English
@robsanders1993 @MatthewMKE98 They offered him and the other Freshman extensions before promotion that they turned down.

Brice Turang just feels like the next Peralta, Burns, Williams, Durbin
Where they move him in the offseason
I just don’t see a world where they give him 200 million knowing Made, Pena, Pratt, Williams, Fischer and Wilken are all coming
Not saying I agree, but I understand it
English
Although my head tells me I'd rather Wisconsin had made the elite eight like Duke but lost in an all time choke heartbreaker, my heart tells me I never would have gotten over that kind of pain and losing game one was better
Which is worse?

I have had MLBTV for over a decade. I can literally not figure it out this year. ESPN is having me jump through hoops. Can anyone walk me thru this?

North Carolina settling for a guy who finished 10-10, in ninth place in the Big Ten? No shot.

Does Iowa's success vault Ben McCollum to the top of North Carolina's wish list?

@RyanAntony22 @barryisthedon @mikewickett Most people don’t actually watch basketball all year and just watch the NCAA Tournament, which means they have one to six data points instead of 40.
It’s the same people who make overstated judgements on baseball teams based on the postseason and completely ignore 162 games.
English
@barryisthedon @mikewickett It's so crazy to me how over-valued a few wins in the tournament are when evaluating coaches
Seriously blows my mind. 30+ game regular seasons are basically thrown to curb and 2-3 games where the players play their asses off in a tournament, catapult a coach to elite status
English
The big ten is officially on notice.
Ben McCollum is gonna be a PROBLEM. #Iowa

I’m so confused.
Nebraska now been called for two fouls while jumping in the air rebounding while the other team attempted to undercut them and…. I’m confused.
English
@Tfoss38 @barryisthedon Who on the staff would that be, in your scenario?
English
@barryisthedon Or hear me out.. maybe it’ll be a CC/ Pat Murphy situation and whoever takes his place can have just as much success as the Badgers have been having…

A Wisconsin Basketball Play in 3 Acts:
1. Mac listens to message board experts, fires Gard
2. Super trendy mid major guy with an impressive recent March run is brought in. Experts call it "A+ hire"
3. Badgers make NCAA Tourney one time in next three years w two losing seasons
English
@chrisfallica Because all of the good players on the 12-15 seeds transferred
English
There is a historically massive gap this year between the 2-3-4-5 and their 15-14-13-12 opponents...
English
@sportswithben1 @Burninating123 Don’t tell that to the western most teams in the Big12!
English
@Burninating123 Forgot about that. It’s called the UAC next year and probably doesn’t make sense for these schools to play in Vegas.
English
Don’t know what the site or schedule for the new Pac-12 tournament will be next year, but we could very well have
Mountain West at 6 (CBS)
PAC-12 at 8 (CBS)
Big West at 10 (ESPN2)
WAC at midnight (ESPN2)
All from Las Vegas

7-1 finish after an 0-2 start is a bold call 🦡
The Field of 68@TheFieldOf68
Jake Davis after Illinois’ second OT loss to Wisconsin: “It does suck to lose the same exact way. They're really good. I think we're really good. Out of 10 times I think we'd beat them seven, they just got the better of us in the past two games.”
