Kopp sucks but let’s move on…

How does basketball success equate to football? And how good it feels.

Tourney bid = B1G championship game.

Getting out of first weekend = low tier bowl win.

Sweet 16 = mid tier bowl win versus power 5 team

Elite 8 = New Year’s Day bowl win

Final 4 = Rose Bowl/CFP semis

Championship game = CFP finals

Frankly, I’d put the conference championship game third in priority, ahead of lower-tier bowl wins.

Making a Sweet 16 is a big deal. Bowl wins are great, but they're a capper, a celebration - even the NY6 games, which I agree are a major accomplishment. Here, every win but the last one means you play on. Hard to capture that drama with a football comparison.

We’re just gonna have to move on without his respect …

The pearls, they are clutched.

Indiana fans fall short in shouting “***k you, Haarms” at the Boilermaker who beat them #iubb

The chants were audible throughout the game as IU fans expressed their disdain for Purdue center Matt Haarms, “***k you, Haarms!” I have no problem with yelling at opposing players &#82…

Northwestern is better without him.

One can safely say his maturity is a bit low

Kopp had a good game for Indiana today. I think this is an example of the dangers of social media. Miller's parting shot caused him a lot of animosity. "The university lost a lot of respect for him when he took it."

As with most things in life, it’s best just to keep your mouth shut.

I don't know anything about him personally, but he comes across as thin-skinned. At this level of the game, he needs to let it roll off his back.

He hit a clutch 3 and had a late steal in their win today against Illinois. He also committed some dumb fouls and had a brain fart on D at the end. He is what he is.

Glad IU beat UI.

These are way off and only make sense on a curve for Northwestern bball. Making the tournament is more akin to our bowl loss streak. Winning a mediocre bowl game is the sort of things normal schools do all the time, but NU struggled with in historical fashion.

To me, west division championships and non-Rose NY6 are more akin to Sweet Sixteen appearances. Rose Bowl is maybe elite eight.

Glad IU beat UI.

Happy for us to be the only road team to win in Bloomington this year.
