The college football championship game is not played until January 11. That would not give him much time to prepare for our NCAA tournament run.

Congrats TP5 and Rivers

Plus 1000 points to you. The end of close games are really annoying: Foul, free throw, free throw, timeout. Desperation shot misses, foul, free throw, free throw. Timeout. Desperation three goes in. Timeout, nearly five second violation, timeout. Foul, free throw, free throw... And so forth.

'05-'06 Villanova figured out how to play without a big man. The secret is to have 3 future NBA guards.

Do his knees bend the right way? Does he have hair on his legs or a Notre Dame poster in his basement? Does Mark Kreuger have more in common with Bob Ley or Ed McMahon? Just doing my job in chugging toward 40.

Dean: I think my present lack of a vested interest in the NBA causes my perception that the folks attending NBA games now will not remember them 30 or 40 years hence. However, those in attendance at the Bulls game last night are sure to recall Rose's shot. Nevertheless, I venture many were too busy taking selfies to acquire an actual memory.

Jimmy, Thanks for letting me know what retired folks do with their spare time. I did not know what to anticipate this fall... But now I do, my friend. Now I do!

The problem for Harris will be on the defensive end. If required to play in the post, he'll be pushed all over by Big 10 posts. He can be Pitchford offensively if that means you want him running around on the perimeter, but he's not going to be doing a lot of posting up or scoring from the block. At some point I need to dig in and find small teams and what they did to be successful (or not). Until that time my gut tells me we need to run/pressure a lot more with a 9-10 man rotation...something we haven't really done.

I have heard that Pitt is closer to his Sao Paulo, Brazil home than Lincoln is --- 4920 miles to Pittsburg and 5492 miles to Lincoln

Cut down the interminable time outs, but of course that would interfere with all of those interesting commercials.

Or depening on whether you're Aaron Craft or not.

Well at least they won't need to buy new clocks because they already have the women's 30 second clock.

+1000 on the digging up of an old relevant thread

Another theory offered by the KC commentators was that when teams that have been perennial bottom dwellers suddenly become good, sometimes the other teams in the division view them as upstarts and will get real chippy with them to try to intimidate them and put them back in their place. Could be what's going on here as well. My guess is it's all the KSU fans who follow the Royals. In all likelihood, they're the real problem.

Too cumbersome to have everyone vote, throwback. Let's just turn it over to a "blue ribbon" panel. My nominations would be Norm, kidney, and JLo.
