Golden Nugz gives thanks

I started this yesterday, but if you are reading this you are required to comment below giving us three things that you are thankful for.

Andy Katz had an article on the Gopher's White/Mbakwe/Bostick situations.  Basically it comes down to this (according to Katz).

  • Bostick will return for the Miami game.
  • Mbakwe could be back soon as they expect the case will be dropped
  • White's situation is a bit touchier and Tubby is making the decision if White will remain with the program.

"He's dealing with some things emotionally and mentally,'' Smith said. "But shoplifting, you can't get around that one. Royce is going through a legal situation with shoplifting. I'll make a decision if he's going to be a part of this program or not.''

That does not sound good for White, hopefully he gets things straightened out.  This is more than just basketball, he needs to get his life figured out and then hopefully he'll be able to help out Gopher hoops.

Thankful

In no particular order:

1) TCF Stadium
2) Tubby Smith and the ascension of the Gophers basketball program
3) Target Field

Wizard of Odds

I think he makes a few good points, but the point he is completely missing is that college isn’t about the material. I would say that only about 1/3 of the value of college is in the material. The other parts of it are leadership, influence, networking—a lot of soft skills.

That is the reason a lot of online programs are not accredited. In the real world, things get done through people and relationships—not x’s and o’s (to steal some sports terminology). I don’t think that traditional universities will go the way of the VHS tape, the Walkman, and the Rocky Mountain News. The way that classes are taught has, and certainly will change.

Remember, everyone thought that “bricks and mortar” stores were going to go extinct at one time as well. Walmart (choosing this one since it is the biggest) does very little of its $400 billion of sales via online sales. I don’t see the University of Phoenix being anything more than a niche (albeit a successful one) university for those that want just the x’s and o’s.

</2 cents rant>

Oh, that's right, you guys only hire drunks and cheaters...

What you said is like saying you’re thankful for a husband that beats you.

I’m sure the University of Kentucky graduates some fine students. It is obvious you never pursued such endeavors.

It has to be. No one else would stoop so low...
