Rivalries mean little now because the players will change so quickly. Who are we rivals with, the coaches and fans? Certainly not the players that compete against...

    History Lesson. What Did We Say in the Early Part of the Season?

    I am so disappointed in how this season ended. That said, I didn’t dream of 27 victories, second in the BIG10 regular season and conference tourney, Top 10 ranking going into the NCAA tournament, and a #2 tourney seed. I went back and read some of the early-season threads that dealt with...

    Anybody have Ticket details??

    Procedure question: I have "I'm old" season tix. When She-Who-Won't-Be-Pictured" is out of town, I take one of my 30-something children without their being challenged as not old enough. Is that generally true? Could I always just buy cheaper youth tix and have anyone use them? DISCLAIMER: I...

    Anybody have Ticket details??

    Two of my kids are out of state on vacation with their children. We all tried to snag tix and ended up with six. One family was just boarding a tour bus and lost connection. If we could all be in the same room, we could do a parody of the team celebrations upon hearing their names during the...
