per Sid:

Gophers backup point guard Kevin Payton, who was suspended for academic reasons, is back in good standing and took part in practice Wednesday -- but won't make the trip for tonight's game at Michigan.

Wasn't it Sid who a few weeks back said that Payton was off the team and wouldn't return? I could be wrong on that, but I thought he wrote that.

Go Gophers!!

Glad to have you back Kevin.

I think it was Myron who wrote that Payton wouldn't be back.

Nope, you're wrong...it was SID that wrote that

Which is why I'm calling the win tonight. Our troubles started around the time KP was suspended.

Gotta be a good sign.

"Kevin Payton, a redshirt junior who was suspended for academic reasons, won't be back with the Gophers basketball team next season. ..."

Gophers are 16-2 with Payton in the bench. They should bring him to Michigan.

I say we chip in and fly him there and get him hooked up with a seat behind the bench !
