Morning, all. Let's get to the links.
- There are apparently too many good coaching slots for the number of good coaches in the world. We're behind USSR! There's a coaching gap just like the 1950s missile gap! Or perhaps overpaid dudes are overpaid and bad at their jobs.
- A primer from Yahoo Sports on the big questions ahead of this season of college bball. Paging BoilerUp89 and MaximumSam!
- UVA kid is singing Journey into a goddamn fake goose. Weird. Love it.
- This bit from ours/yours/mine Thump remains accurate even a week after the fact. Oh Badgers. Oh dear. It's been a challenging year. (Would get down for some free Culvers curds, though)
