You have a suspect definition of greatness. I guess that Matt Wise’s return from a salad-tong injury also won’t count…

1. Ben Brust’s half-court buzzer beater against Michigan.

2. Ryan Evans’s jump-shot free throw against Nebraska (I think).

Thanks! I’ll be joining two wonderful history professors already, too. I’m looking forward to meeting the students next month.

Sure thing, but full disclosure: I wrote for BP and served as the fantasy editor for about a half-dozen years. I’m not a neutral voice here, lol.

First quarter after I transferred to a small liberal-arts school, I had an English Lit prof give me a C- on a paper with “See Me” written at the top. He told me he was “offended” that I’d “wasted such promising ideas with lazy and sloppy writing.” First time someone called me out. I needed it, too.

Subscribing to BP funds a platform where writers, analysts, and scouts can be noticed by big-league orgs. Few people can become pro baseball players, and thus access the “good ol’ boys” network. BP has long served as a unique incubator for big-league talent — and the best part is you benefit, too.
