GOPHERS BASKETBALL: No fixing stupid

TwinCities.com columnist Charley Walters is reporting that Princeton, MN, seven-footer Jared Berggren is still firmly setting his post-high school sights on the University of Wisconsin as his basketball destination, despite the fact that his home-state Gophers squad now has the legendary Tubby Smith as the program's head coach.
I guess Larry the Cable Guy is right: there's no fixing stupid. Choosing UW-Madison over the Gophers was a smart move when Dan Monson was at the head of the program, but when you could play for someone as prestigious as Tubby Smith without leaving your home state, well... that's like being offered a chance to be the next Tiger Woods and saying that you'd prefer to service golf cart parts instead.
