That's great, I had never thought of that, that non-sports fans might tune in just for Bill. Good stuff.

Thanks for the share. Yes, there are some things that I learned from his broadcasts outside of basketball, for sure.

Thanks for sharing. Good stuff!

Agree. UCLA just can't get anything right. And, their new football coach hire was uninspiring, to say the least.

Nice points, Jon. Thanks!

It sure will. The irnony is that the two major sports that drive revenue, football and men's basketball, will be the sports that get affected the least. It's all the non-rev sports that will suffer the most.

What?! You're not pulling for the mullet in Stillwater?

Yeah, he's going places.

Thanks, Hayward. And a lot of the young man's game is being able to relate to today's athletes. There is a reason the greatest NFL ever doesn't have a job this year.

It's a serious issue and one that doesn't get the attention it deserves. 😉

I'm sure you told him to stick to shoes, not courts! Thanks

He was in 2013

Thanks! Glad I got ya for a minute. 😃

Totally. I always felt that instead of a 168 mph fastball he shoulda made it a more "believable" 132 or something..... but, what do I know

Perfect!

Yes, causing the mind to drift....

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, Chip created something new that nobody was used to, but the world has long passed caught up. We'll see how he now does with only offense to worry about and elite talent.

Yes, talent shouldn't be the issue at Ohio State. Time to see what Chip has left in the tank.

Thanks for your take, John, I agree. One thing for sure, it will be entertaining.

I think a good analogy is that he created a very successful startup company but wasn't good at running the company once it got big. Heck, I remember studying that stuff at the U of O biz school in the 90s. Hey, I did learn something afterall!!!

Oh I'm not predicting here whether he will be successful or not. And, sure, he'll be recruiting, but he can focus more on his side of the ball and the ingredients that he wants while not being weighed down with head coaching obligations. He can be the chef without having to run the restaurant. I'm sure he'll be more happy and motivated to focus on QB's and WR's than linebackers.

They will have to go roll the dice and the "next big thing." Like Oregon did with Lanning. Of course, Wilcox is out there for the Tide ; )

I don't care how other fans cheer, especially those down south. And, I don't care about how a Husky win might make the Ducks look better for this season. Eadt Coast bias is real. Perception is reality. If west coast teams win more often then that would help the case for all west coast teams. The reality is that west coast programs have not won enough, hence they (i.e. Oregon) does not get the benefit of the doubt. Case in point: If the Ducks had won this year's Pac-12 Championship game, they absolutely would NOT have been invited to the CFP. Lack of Pac-12 success would have been a big reason why.

Thanks. I had a "small" hunch the title might grab a few people's attention. Oops. ; )
