Wally Ellenson

I see that Wally Ellenson has left the Gophers basketball program but is still on their track team. Last year, he placed eighth in the high jump at the NCAA outdoor championships. Not sure if he just wants to focus on track at this point. I know we recruited him out of high school and I would think we would at least consider him if he wanted to play basketball.

I don't know why any serious basketball player would want to play for Jeter: he and his assistants are clowns.

I'm not amazed any more when I go to games at the Cell and continuously see other coaching staffs out-coaching and out-working our staff. I just expect it now.

I don't that reference, but I can take the ribbing if it is in that context.

I know all my posts have been nothing but complaining, whining and b****ing.

It's a reference to the Wonder Twins who have activated the stop-and-start four-game suspension of Jordan Aaron in an apparent attempt to jump-start the clock on a favorite coach of many on this board.

The problem, of course, is that said coach still has three years remaining on his deal and donors have demonstrated a disinclination to pony up the money to usher him out of town.

Thus, barring the existence of some unknown deep-pockets benefactor willing to take the plunge, the only thing the suspension appears to have achieved is the short-circuiting of a season.

What a transformation in Marquette's recruiting tendencies!
