James Starks 2.0?

The Barack Obama Trump Tower has a ring to it

But if you want to hold to that logic, just stop the farce and make a separate playoff for non-power 4 teams and make it a separate division or something.

I’m sure you’re right but I think I’d like to see it play out a bit and see if those smaller teams consistently getting chances at the playoff leads to the talent spreading out a bit. I know it’s highly unlikely given the resource gap and the nature of transfers/NIL/coaches leaving.

I think the philosophical struggle is basically ‘should we give every conference a shot in the playoff by default because they MAY be good enough to prove it’ vs ‘the power teams are way better and we’re wasting time’. Every other NCAA sport has used the first for years and it’s been good.

Can’t see Mr Pibb or Red Vines anywhere and not think of the other.

FWIW I was tipped off by someone that my info was on a random site that compiles public info and when I requested to have that info removed, the calls dropped off dramatically. Happy to share the site if you’d like so you can check yourself (I’m not a bot, I swear) but don’t want to broadcast it JIC

Guessing Ben Brust buzzer beater vs Michigan is on there already. The 70-point Big Ten championship game whipping they put on Nebraska.

UWW getting over the hump on MU and winning their first title in 2007 and starting the run of 6 titles in 8 years.

Or the 2013-2014 year where they won the title in football, baseball, and basketball

Brandon Jennings could have 2 with the 55-point game and ‘Bucks in 6’?

I remember leaving work and finding out the first move and then going to curling and finding out the 2nd move (I think it was Yeli then Cain?) and that’s all anyone was talking about.

My thoughts here being that we’re talking about a moment or an event. It can be stained by what happened after but those were all significant in that moment/on that day, I think, in a way that merits mentioning.

I was actually going to add the Dame trade and even the Jrue trade.

It was already mentioned but those few hours where the Brewers got Yelich and Cain are up there. Just all things that galvanized the fan bases with hope.

Hell, even the Fickell hiring was a huge day.

The Graham Mertz debut? (we can ignore what happened after)

There are like 3 preseason tournaments that already just showcase a bunch of blue bloods. Watch those instead I guess?

I’d be shocked if they risk a midseason change with no apparent candidate during a lost season so they can pay a 4th head coach.
