So Memphis filled two of its assistant coach slots. Maybe we just wait it out and they run out of room for TA?

This is a brutal road schedule. All of our toughest opponents are on the road and we only get 1 shot… I thought a few would be ok, but EVERY SINGLE ONE??

@oregon
@washington ( back to back west coast trips makes this game hard)
@IU
@MSU
@NU
@the Rac
@the barn
@wisconsin
@mich


We will probably go undefeated at home. (that’s up to Purdue, that last game of the year)

I don't know but tempted to hit the Pacific northwest for the games vs Oregon and Washington. What's winter like at the time and any nearby skiing worth visiting.
Winter is wet. Cold but not freezing. Except in the mountains, where it snows, sometimes prolifically. Best skiing in the world is at Mount Bachelor- a couple hours east of Eugene, on the other side of the cascades. Some ppl enjoy Mount Hood but the snow is too wet / heavy for my taste. Bachelor has better powder. But the beer in the PNW rocks. I think there are more breweries per capita in Portland than anywhere else. Pinot Noir is local and famous too.

Edit: if you drive in the mountains carry chains for your tires. No joke. We don’t use salt.
