Thad and his wife pretty much stay out of the public limelight but I have heard from various sources that they are very active and spend a great deal of time at the Ronald McDonald House.

Winning an award like this two years in a row speaks volumes of how much he is respected in the Columbus community.

got screwed out of B1G COY

Bo Ryan collects the annual Kirk Ferentz award for finishing middle of the pack in the B1G with a bunch of no talent ass clowns on his roster.

Somehow they continually get a pass for recruiting those talentless players but whatever, pretty numb to it by now.

So now you just deal with it?

To be fair, only three teams finished ahead of Wisconsin in the conference (Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan State). Izzo and Matta are expected to consistently produce the teams that they do...in fact, our season is sort of a "disappointment" when you look at where everyone had us a ranked pre-season (#3-#4), so Matta shouldn't even be a real candidate. Who other than Ryan should have won COY this year? Crean? Beilein?

Nebraska's coach won 5 games with this dude on the roster.

Give it to him.

Carmody as a going away present?

I think Pat What's-His-Name deserves it. For just coaching Penn State in its time of angst and forgetting Joe Pachildrape. And for beating Michigan.

It's only right.

What is his name, anyhow?

Ha. A charity dynasty for Matta!

Barnaby O'Bobrovsky?

Kidding aside, I think Nebraska's coach Miles did a TERRIFIC job his year. That team competed in spite of their deficiencies. People forget that Nebraska was viewed as by far the worst team in the league entering the season, but Miles changed that completely (partly thanks to the Frazier injury at PSU, but they still won more games than I expected). I think he will have them in the NCAA tourney within the next few years.
