  1. Could somebody post something about how all of this is great for college sports? I feel like giving a down arrow.
  2. That program was originally written in Fortran. Seems like it still works.
  3. An athlete who bets on their own school “will potentially face permanent loss of collegiate eligibility in all sports,” according to updated NCAA guidelines on reinstatement of sports wagering violations. Had an athlete placed bets on NCAA-sanctioned sports, but not their own school’s teams, the guidelines state an athlete would lose half a season of eligibility.
  4. Depends on how you look at it. Our transfer class ranked 33rd on 247, but that was based more on who left than who we signed (we replaced mediocre players with decent players). Individually, our transfers had these rankings: 89 Mast 90 Williams 189 Ulis NR Allick I'm not sure how we "knocked it out of the park" on any of these. Mast was all-Valley, so that should translate to quality play but he's probably not an all-BIG caliber player. Williams was 2nd team C-USA, so ditto. Ulis lost his starting spot at Iowa. Allick is a good rebounder who essentially duplicates the role of Gary. I'd be shocked if Diop plays 5 minutes a game in conference. So as for "potential stars," I guess everyone qualifies for that but is anyone likely to achieve it? I'm not as negative on the season as it may seem. The soft non-con should have us confident entering BIG play, and we're always tough at home. The key to me is whether last year's chemistry can be repeated. Team chemistry was poor in Fred's first three years, and we don't know if last year was his doing, or if it was from last year's all-in senior class (Walker, Sam, Bando).
  5. But don't miss the entrance: Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunityTo seize everything you ever wanted, one momentWould you capture it?Or just let it slip, yo
  6. Begging the question; shouldn't that be "sightings"?
  7. His first name spelled backwards is DDay.
  8. Drake, Iona and Yale didn't get into the tourney because of their NET, they got in because they were automatic qualifiers. The bigger issue is how the resume looks at the end of the season. Boobirds and KState are the only noncon teams that will matter at NCAA time, so we need to at least split with them. Then we need to win at least a couple of BIG road wins and assume we have a good home record. The problem with the noncon isn't its effect on our NET, it's the inability to get us quality wins. Lindenwood isn't going to move the needle.
  9. Fred needs a winning record this year, period. I don't have a problem with the soft noncon, if we get 9 wins out of it.
  10. The end of the bench next to Fred? Great, he'll be our 6h man!
  11. CJ started 24 games last year. It makes at least as much sense to project him as a starter as it does a guy whom none of us have seen play in person.
  12. The last couple of classes had kind of dropped off, good to see talent coming up in 2025.
  13. Tony Patelis @TonyPatelis The amount of people who took this tweet seriously is mind blowing. We are doomed.
  14. Goofy guitarist on the left, booted out of the band about a year after this. Took an internship at Dunder Mifflin and stayed there for 40 years until retirement in 2013.
  15. No Place Like the Vault when he sees latest posts on this thread:
  16. This wouldn't be a terrible pickup: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/37916105/alabama-guard-jahvon-quinerly-enter-transfer-portal Quinerly, a former five-star recruit in the class of 2018, started his college career with one season at Villanova before transferring to Alabama. He averaged 12.9 points during his first campaign in Tuscaloosa, then started 27 games as a junior and averaged 13.8 points and 4.2 assists. After tearing his ACL in March 2022, Quinerly moved to the bench this past season -- but coach Nate Oats inserted him into the starting lineup for the SEC and NCAA tournaments. Over his final nine games, he averaged 14.4 points and 4.0 assists, shooting nearly 38% from 3-point range.
