Yeah, I feel for the fans. The fans are caught in the paradox because on top of it all I can't play defense. The only interesting games are when I'm not a starter.azgreg wrote: Wed Feb 19, 2025 8:22 pmThey're not the only ones.dovecanyoncat wrote: Wed Feb 19, 2025 8:00 pmI miss 100% of FTs.

ACC schools are 1-7 in home games immediately following trips to play Cal and Stanford.
I should note though that Duke & Clemson don’t make the west coast trip and Louisville won’t until the last week.

Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Re: Non-Big XII Thread
Almost like having schools in your conference on the other side of the country is a dumb idea or something.

That's an up vote.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

Looks like our other old conference may be dead soon.

I bet that bus wasn't in any of those three categories. Wonder where diesels rank.

I knew that completely thanks to you, and it's worth knowing. I'm just willing to use any anecdote whatsoever to bust Elon's balls. I have 2 plug-in hybrids, but it's not like I would want any hypothetical child of mine to grow up using a Toyota CEO as a role model.

Diesel, diesel, diesel, diesel!
I'm also on fire and EMS here, never fought a hybrid fire, but we've been trained a few times on them and they can be really bad.

Re: Non-Big XII Thread
Holy shit Arkansas losing by over 30 to South Carolina, only made 3 FGs in the 1st half
Re: Non-Big XII Thread
Anyone watching the series Pitino: Red Storm rising? Showed when he was playing teams arch rival in the Euro league. He said it made Louisville/Kentucky look like a tea party. Had 20,000 fans, 30 cops with shields and six machine guns. That was interesting. Game was intense.
Then it followed a bit of St. John's "benefactor" and talked NIL. The teams benefactor is a billionaire who grew up watching them play and wanted a winner. The was eye opening also. Pretty good serious with some intense Pitino minutes.

Dang WCC.
Key stats
The teams combined to shoot 1 of 31 on 3-pointers, the third-worst combined percentage in any game over the past 20 years. Saint Mary’s went 0 for 16.

Cooper Flagg injured his ankle and had to be helped back to the locker room.
Duke down at the half vs. Georgia Tech. Their 3-point shooting today makes Arizona’s look good by comparison.

There are rules! This isn't Nam.
Duke scores the first 10 on the 2nd half.

I’d much rather see Duke be the first 1-seed to lose this year than to see them lose early in a horrific ACC and get bumped to a 2-seed.Merkin wrote: Thu Mar 13, 2025 10:17 am There are rules! This isn't Nam.
