Bo Ryan is a giant in college basketball. Leaving at the top.

Who will Alvarez hire to follow Bo?

After they beat Kentucky, I was rooting hard for the Badgers. It is a pity Ryan will exit without a title. He is fine coach.

White guys with lawns taking over the NBA.

Bo has 4 national titles.

Is Bo Ryan as big an asshole as he looks like on tv?

Ann Althouse said...

Bo Ryan is the most popular person in Wisconsin. By a lot. If he's an asshole, we're all assholes. Or assholes are popular. Or something.

He has the biggest pension in the state coming his way. He may be retiring from coaching the Badgers but he'll coach some other team soon.

Bo Ryan is a basketball genius and the Badgers' run was inspiring. People didn't talk enough about that path Wisconsin had to go through to get to that title game. Before beating Kentucky, they'd beaten Arizona. Before that, they'd beaten UNC. It was a truly epic run. Dekker though was exhausted by the time they got to the title game. Duke wss the last team standing and a great team. But if you watched the tourney you know Wisconsin's run was more badass.

I hope my son grows up to be like Sam Dekker. What a great baller! I don't like the Houston Rockets, but I might start rooting for them due to Rookie Sam.

Have you heard of a man named Aaron Rodgers?

That would be an interesting poll: Who would you rather have for dinner? Bo or Aaron.

Dekker is a lawnboy who will become much more than that menial task.

I doubt this is true. But even is we accept it as true, it not based anything but public perception. These Wisconsinites don't know Bo.
