Coaching search 2010 is over, and we have all survived relatively unscathed, basketball program largely intact. In the rush of the firing, and the search, and the hiring, there was little time to breathe let alone stop for analysis. And so we went along with the current, riding through the rain and the rapids.
But now the skies have cleared, and the water has calmed, and we can take a breath and talk about the coaching search, the Fran McCaffery regime, and the potential short-term consequences of Gary Barta's big move with one of the few reporters to actually uncover legitimate news during the search and take a journalistic approach to an otherwise speculation-filled endeavor: Scott Dochterman, longtime Friend of the Pants and sportswriter/blogger extraordinaire for the Gazette. And don't fear, football fans: There's a little draft talk at the end, too.

If Pat Angerer doesn't make it into the league,
Someone has to put a microphone in his hand. Get that man on TV.
My only friends
are in military prisons…but I am half Middle Eastern…

Rimshot!

Excuse me for my bellicosity. And spelling. Bellicosity and spelling.

I hope someone steps up to fill the quote void now that Angerer is leaving us.

It seems like Ricky was auditioning after the Orange Bowl.

Ricky was not "auditioning"
he was campaigning for 2024.

Really, really hope Fuller doesn't leave.
He seemed to make huge strides during B10 play last season and I’d love to see what he could do in a more fast-paced style.

Stoopsy took them with him when he went on vacation.
Dammit.

He went on vacation?
To the Library of Congress?

Pfft, you're thinking too small for Stoopsy.
He’s off hunting down the Library of Alexandria.

He's off to the basement of Beaver Stadium
To find out what really happened down there, right?

Who sings the podcast intro song???
I now know how Odysseus felt when he heard the alluring song of Achelous daughters.
If you feel like singing along, don't.
James Taylor
That would be HS. He really makes those high notes soar...

let alone that intimately…

It wasn't there when I looked at lunch, either.
I just streamed it from here.

Sorry
iTunes didn’t get the link. Problem fixed, and the podcast should be appearing on your iTunes shortly.
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.
Scott . . .
Works like a mofo. Great reporter.

Then I expect you'll both be reporting from the BHGP Tailgate?

I'm trying . . .
To work out the logistics in my head. Because if I smell beer, it’s a Bill Bixby-Lou Ferigno Hulk thingie.
I’m going to go way early and stop by with maybe a sixer of fine beer to donate to the cause. But no drinking, workie, workie. It’s actually a long day with a chat and all.

You you at least be
an Ang Lee sad Hulk?

No way
I grew up a Marvel freak. We don’t recognize sad Hulk. We only recognize cognitive Hulk when it fits the storyline.

It's sad that you grew up a Marvel freak
because I’m done growing up (sad) and am still a Marvel freak.

I still get it
My son is a big super hero kid. Probably moreso than sports, which is totally fine with me.

Are the Blackhawks in any shape to challenge for the Cup?
Shameless abuse of having a reporter at hand…

Great Bobby Hull's Ghost!
Wait, he’s not dead. His toup is, though.
I’d say yes, but one fact remains — Niemi sucks as bad as Huet. They are a goalie mask of suck. In fact, if you put their goalie masks together, they spell “Suck City.”
I like splitting Keith and Seabrook, but I still think they’re thin at D. And then there’s the elusive “grit” that you always hear hockey people talk about. I’m not sure the Hawks have enough of that. But if someone does something to piss off Buff, Niemi finds some Finnish magic, they’re going to be a tough out. A couple weeks ago, I was nervous about a first-round exit. Now, I see some hope, toughness.
Plus, Ben Eager will be a healthy scratch, I hope. Used to like the guy, but I’d rather have someone who’s fully vested in the tough guy role. He’s half ass there.

I hear you on Niemi
but he doesn’t seem as prone to the sudden complete disappearance of confidence that Huet seems to be perpetually afflicted with. Goalies are thisclose to baseball relievers in terms of head-case-y-ness.

It's starting to look like Marc and I's Twitter accounts in here.
D and Goal are my biggest concerns. If the D loses a game or two, and the backstop does the same (both of which are completely possible)…it could be a long off-season.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Sharp and Huet go to LA for their young goaltender, Quick. He’s been bad of late, but I think he’s tired…and that might mean value.
The Hawks won't be able to dump Huet
After this year, it’ll be like trying to give away chlamydia.

It's looking more and more likely that they'll get the Avs in the first round.
So the Blackhawks will be done after a week. Sorry.

BLASPHEMER!
They will win the cup. And with it, ease a few Cubs’ fan’s yearning for the promised land.

No Blackhawks victory
could make me less-miserable to be a Cubs fan.
