<p>Watch Party: Basketball and Hockey tomorrow night.   </p>
<p>Things Discussed:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lions: You can't hurt me. Oh they lost—we lost the DPOY and everyone else on the starting defense. They're taking our coordinators—when's the last time a Lions coordinator left for a head coaching job?</li>
<li>Wink to Lions? Sounds like he's a tertiary candidate, most of the positions looking at him have been filled.</li>
<li>Why aren't OSU's coaches candidates for better jobs? Brian Hartline only.</li>
<li>Sam: Pro position coaches don't make more than college anymore (except Jim paid his guys to come with him); you go pro to get away from recruiting. Coordinators don't recruit as much anymore. Sherrone does a lot of the recruiting himself.</li>
<li>If no Wink: the "internal" candidate is Doug Mallory. Les Miles's old coordinator, has recruited the SEC. Called the coverages vs OSU 2021-2023, called the coverages in the national championship. Waiting as DB coach for Ravens but might be the rare guy (older, played for Bo) who would retire here. Sam adds they'd be able to elevate someone to a "co-." Danger of losing Wink is he might pluck some of his guys. Good news is he's probably not going anywhere right now.</li>
<li>Staff is pretty intact. Would like to establish some long-term guys. Wanted Elston to stay forever. Want OL recruits to be recruited 2 years by the guy who will coach them 4 years and still be here when they come back to visit in 4 years.</li>
<li>Pantsless Championship: They want to call a 14-2 season the best ever? They're the worst champions ever. They went 1-1 against Oregon who had a better season. They lost their most important game, at home to Michigan.</li>
<li>The commemorative ball has all the game scores on it. Sam's buying it.</li>
<li>Playoff system: Can you imagine designing a system where Michigan and Ohio State are both happy at the end of the year?</li>
<li>Hoops: Teams are learning to take away the roll. Minnesota game was a bit of a fluke—Goldin went 4/13 at the rim when he's been the best finisher in the B10 for the last month—but Northwestern went all in on it. Need to find ways to punish that, either with Wolf following Goldin into the lane or shooting an open three.</li>
<li>Goldin: quietly Michigan's best player lately, despite 4/13. His threes open up the offense vs teams like Northwestern and their paint-bound truck driver.</li>
<li>Purdue: Will be a different challenge because TKR can switch. Need defense to show up.</li>
</ul>
