Three years later, who is Royce White?
Posted on 12. Oct, 2012 by zipsofakron.
Tomorrow marks the third anniversary of the day Royce White made a mistake that would alter the rest of his life. On October 13, 2009 he made the decision to steal from a Macy’s department store – $100 worth of merchandise, to be exact – and got in an altercation with a security guard when [...]

Joel Maturi’s reign of error finally ends
Posted on 02. Feb, 2012 by JF.
Months of breathless speculation and restrained hopefulness, Joel Maturi finally announced that he is stepping down as the University of Minnesota Athletic Director. Nearly ten years after he was hired in part to clean up the department after it was implicated in the academic fraud scandal that decimated the basketball program, he noted one of his greatest achievements was the lack of NCAA violations during his tenure. He did do that, but little else to benefit the university or the men’s basketball program.

Part 1: The Lost Season
Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by JF.
The 2009-2010 Gopher basketball season hasn’t gone the way any expected or wanted. The string of close losses, catching Portland at absolutely the wrong time, a near epic comeback at Indiana, the epic anti-comeback against Michigan State, and the most lackluster defensive performance at Ohio State have been equal parts frustrating, confusing, and infuriating, and [...]

Rules Violation Specified: Royce White arrested for stupidity
Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by JF.
So maybe he hasn’t grown up. Word leaked late this afternoon that Royce White was arrested in October for shop lifting and fifth degree assault. For non-legal scholars, fifth degree assault is defined here. Both crimes appear to be firmly on the idiotic side of the idiotic-harmful pendulum, and the indefinite suspension punishment appears appropriate [...]

Things fall apart: White and Bostick suspended
Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by JF.
Royce White and Devron Bostick have been suspended indefinitely for, you guessed it, an unspecified team rules violation. No word what this violation is, and how long the suspension will be. Hopefully this is a minor violation and that both players will atone for their mistakes and re-join the team soon. Regardless, this, along with [...]

Royce White grew up, now can he live up to expectations?
Posted on 21. Sep, 2009 by JF.
Royce White grew up. His basketball skills were never in doubt. Since his Freshman year at De LaSalle he has been on recruiting lists a mile long and heralded as the next great basketball player to come out of Minnesota. All that attention, hype, and praise can go to a young man’s head, and it [...]

The game should start a little after 7:00 PM CST. Let me know what you think of Minnesota’s two most exciting [...]

Special predict the score contest for the Michigan State game During the first Michigan State game, due to my cat-like reflexes and not wanting to get smacked in the face, I caught an official student section “Tubby Town” t-shirt. Since I already have one, why not give it away? Whomever comes closest to prediction the score [...]

Unsuspended!
Posted on 01. Oct, 2008 by JF.
In case you had not noticed, due to this unprecedented period of economic turmoil, I had suspended my writing on this website. I would have announced it, but then I would have been attempting to score cheap political points. Instead I did nothing, and it seems to have paid off since it now appears that [...]

Royce White has a blog?
Posted on 22. Jul, 2008 by JF.
Who thought this was a good idea? The last thing he needs is an ego boost and more attention. If anything, he should become a monk for the next year, forced to study and not allowed to talk, and wake and sleep with the rising and setting sun. This level of discipline would at least [...]
