@tempoaryfan @yyoo1 CC is tops in the for scoring & assists. The stats support her being a #1/#2 guard in the league. Your argument is semantics. ANYONE not voting CC in their top 4 is doing so out of jealousy and disrespect. UR attitude reflects that of CC’s peers! A JOKE.

@yyoo1 Then why not just say that? Why frame it as players being jealous and needing therapy cause they put Caitlin 11th.

Except no one did put Caitlin down as the 11th best guard cause that’s not how voting works.

@ShurtliffMatt @BadgerNewsNet @CollinHumps Maybe, but he hired (93-80 record) the completely unsuited Mike Riley as his replacement. And then forced Bob Diaco upon him citing Diaco as the best coach in the country.

@BadgerNewsNet @CollinHumps Dude … He was hired to fire Pelini.

🦡I took some time to research & draft what I'm calling the exhaustive "wait a minute, did Wisconsin actually make a good athletic director hire?" list. 🦡 Consider me pro Eichorst for the following reasons: 1. For the past eight years he has been Chris Del Conte's second-in-command at Texas, and Texas has navigated the NIL and revenue-share era better than anyone in the country. Wisconsin hired the guy who ran the business of football at Texas in 2026, which is an objectively more applicable description for the actual job in front of him than 'the guy who didn't save the [still] shit Nebraska football program". 2. Texas promoted him during that run. Retention and elevation under one of the most respected ADs in the business is performance evidence. 3. Del Conte has credited him with helping steer Texas's budget and operations through the SEC transition — meaning he has already executed the kind of conference-upheaval management the next decade of Big Ten life will demand. 4. He is a lawyer in an era when the AD job has become a legal job: House settlement compliance, revenue-share contracts, cap management, employment questions, collective bargaining issues, etc. 5. Eichorst was second-in-command under Alvarez from 2006 to 2011. During that time, UW had one of the best-run departments in the country: financially self-sustaining, competitively elite across sports, and and really strong football and basketball programs. 6. He's a native Badger. He knows the institution, the donors, the culture, and the state. He should be able to work Wisconsin politics at a high level. 7. At Miami, he inherited the Nevin Shapiro scandal and was credited with a steady, cooperative, professional handling of one of an incredibly ugly NCAA case. Proven crisis management leadership is valuable. 8. Related to 7, he was poached by Nebraska from Miami. He was a hot commodity at the time Nebraska hired him. So much so that Neraska made him the 5th highest paid AD in the country with a $2 million early exit penalty in the contract. 9. Oh, and about his time at Nebraska — the main reason some Badger fans are underwhelmed. The fact is that his tenure at Nebraska was perfectly respectable, and Husker fans would be wise to want him back. His four full football seasons: 33-19 with three winning Big Ten coferenece game records. The nine seasons since: 38-56 with zero winning conference records. Away from football, Nebraska won three team national championships and ten Big Ten titles. Off the field, Eichort created what Nebraska billed as college athletics' first in-house analytics department, signed an 11-year, $128M adidas megadeal at nearly triple the prior contract's value, and kept the department fully self-sustaining while committing $5M a year of athletics profits to scholarships for regular students. Nebraska still makes that payment today, part of a financial model its current AD says has to be protected. Eichorst did a nice job at a middling institution. 10. He served in NCAA national governance during a period of massive rule upheaval — giving him relationships and firsthand inights into the NCAA rulemaking process. 11. It's the defining job of his career in his home state. The incentives are perfectly aligned with a long, motivated run. Hoping to get some time to flesh this out a little bit more into a BadgerNews editorial. #OnWisconsin

@BadgerNewsNet @CollinHumps Trev Alberts and Tony Dannen easily rank as the two best ADs at NU this century.

@CollinHumps We've seen many coaches rise and fall with good AD leadership, and the results speak for themselves here. Easily competing with Osborne for Nebraska's best AD this century given the totality of accomplishments.

@BadgerNewsNet The problem at Nebraska is he micromanaged the football program. He replaced an emotionally challenged coach with his alter ego who is/was totally unsuited for the job. He forced assistants upon the guy he hired. SE‘s ego couldn’t handle the job.

@TravisBOUND As for the bball season, do fall sports have 3 holidays, 2 semesters, final exams and as many interruptions as fall sports? Practice time is already limited with many interruptions to continuity.

Hard, hard, hard no. Basketball season is already too long, doesn't need to be extended (should be shortened). Many teams already do open gyms in the fall anyways. But most significantly, there should be no organized activities during other sports seasons. Is basketball going to be ok if baseball, track, and other spring sports start practices during the hoops playoffs?

@TravisBOUND I disagree w/ you Travis. Spring sports have open gyms in Jan/Feb during bball season. The difference between bball and other sports esp. fball is it is a skill sport, shooting, ball hndlng … you can find spots for athletes in fball.

@TyLawson3 OKC traded for PG giving up Oladipo and Sabonis to Pacers and then OKC flipping him to LAC for SGA and 4 1st Rds & 2 swaps. Indiana & OKC can attribute their resurgence to those trades. Philly can attribute its decline by signing PG. He‘s the savior of 2 teams.

Quick question is Paul George going to the hall of fame???… me and the homies having a heated argument .. we going to let yall decide for us..

@ballerchrys3 Don’t elbow your opponent in the throat on a jump ball. Clear foul.

not even a second off the clock and the refs get a foul on LA

@dekker @wiaawi Summers won’t work because of club/travel baseball. Move the season back a week … start games the first week of April with state the last week of June. Reduce the # of games, do playoffs like football w/ only teams w/ >0.500 record make it.

I, for the life of me, will never understand the @wiaawi having SPRING baseball. 80% of the games are in the 30s and 40s. It’s the most no-brainer thing of all time to have baseball played in the state where summers are 80 and sunny.

@TravisBOUND the woodland west sheet posted on Bound website is for the woodland east conference. The page is incorrectly labeled as woodland west.

@TravisBOUND Hey where is the Woodland-West All-Conference BBall list?

@JonHeyman @Dat_Duuude Yes because 3 decades later this is a ”so-what” moment. How about sharing it when it mattered? That would be good journalism and a “not protecting him” moment.

@Dat_Duuude lol. Is this protecting him? This isn’t exactly a flattering story.

Steinbrenner was a scumbag and you media clowns protect him like he was a saint…

@CoachHPrice So should Wisco be allowed to compete at D2 if they wanted? How about Randolph's run when they were recruiting Steimsma et al and winning 7 titles in 10 years? How about Dominican's 7 titles incl 5 in a row? What is ur solution?

The crazy thing about the playoff performance factor moving teams up a division is that it actually punishes the players after the elite group goes through. There are a few exceptions like Wisconsin Lutheran having 5 Knueppels in a row. But it’s more rare than common for a program to have 5+ years of state title contending teams. So now it falls on the group that comes after them who now has to play a high division without the elite athletes that dominated beforehand.

@ohnohedidnt24 I think 10 less games (13%) is fair assuming the players are willing to take a 13% pay cut.

Steve Kerr: "We need to play fewer games. We need to take 10 games off the schedule. The modern game with the pace and the space I think it would be a more competitive and healthier league if we played fewer games"

@4oh2boNEyard Jerry Fort

A year or so ago I did this exact same thing with Nebraska Football. But this time I want to do the Nebrasketball version! 🏀🔴 We will do one box at a time! First up, who is/was a great player that was loved by the fans in Nebrasketball history? 🤔 (Most liked comment wins)

Last regular season game of the season!

@AndyStaples @AndyStaples please get your facts straight. Nebraska didn’t bail on Tennessee, they asked to push the date out because of an ongoing 2-yr stadium renovation. UT declined, after they asked for and received a push out from NU.

We’ve said this about Alabama (in the past week) and Nebraska (last year when they bailed on Tennessee). We’re making a point to point it out whenever someone goes soft. Sorry your favorite team chose to make the list.

@BNKonFOX @stoolpresidente @BNKonFOX @stoolpresidente I’m neither an MSU nor Michigan fan but this diatribe is horrendously bad. For ANY Michigan fan to presume that they’re above the fray when it comes to cheating is just obliviousness. #lackofselfawareness.

"Shame on you, Michigan State. Shame on you, little brother." @stoolpresidente closes out the morning with his "Spartan Smackdown" rant ⬇️

@slmandel @slmandel your negativity towards Nebraska is noted. Sit in your west coast basement and make brash biased comments without reviewing the facts or details. Do you think Nebraska should have let Rhule leave?

This coaching carousel is going to get so many people raises and extensions. Rhule's team is unranked, got killed by Minnesota 2 weeks ago ... but oh no we can't lose him.

Most underwhelming Eastern Conference Champs ever. Beat a 6, an 8 seed and 4 seed. Injuries abound. And they’re likely going to play a 4-seed Mavs. A huge snoozefest. #askfirsttake
