I really like tapioca pudding. Cottage cheese looks kind of like tapioca pudding. Cottage cheese tastes nothing like tapioca pudding. Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can't get fooled again.

Werner is saying the roster is likely complete. He is not expecting us to be a player for Blackwell anymore.

However they pulled this off, tons of credit to Brad, his staff, and the entire athletic department... and obviously the donors as well. After years of what felt like a complete roster turnover from year to year, I never saw this level of retention coming.

Seeing reported elsewhere that Stojakovic + Blackwell would be difficult to pull off. Perhaps we have been a bit over optimistic hoping for both of them, and it could be more of an either/or scenario.

That's the thing I struggle with. It feels so monumentally difficult to even reach the Final Four and then you have to start over basically from scratch and try to do it again. It's not like any of the professional sports where you can build from one year to the next. It will be an almost...
