The first time ever that Mike Peltz and George Gervin have been mentioned in the same sentence...

Played pick-up basketball for over two hours tonight with Palmer, Thomas Allen, Nana, Amir Harris, Tanner Borchardt, Brady Heimann, and Costello.. Here are my thoughts in case you're as ready for the season to start as i am... 1) Palmer is best player i've ever played with. He was guarded by Nana and Amir mostly the whole time and he does not miss from 25+ feet, even contested. Not kidding he probably shot 75% from three shooting a lot for more than two hours, it was insane. 2) Amir Harris is the real deal, he will be a solid backup PG for us this year and is every single bit of 6'5. I don't feel like his handles are as recognized as they should be by the media, fans, etc. this dude had the best handles of anyone there and can finish around the rim. 3) Thomas Allen has the shot to be our starting two guard for sure, and I'm not just talking spot up threes.. Shooting off the dribble using his quickness and handles, and shooting going left or right. He was the second best player there behind Palmer. 4) Nana is just a gym rat, and I'm really rooting for him to finish his game at the college level. You can tell he wants to be a spot up shooter and he is a freak athlete, but he was the last one to leave even after all the other players left and he was just playing with our motley crew.

I'm not so sure. A year ago, maybe. But #MeToo has brought down some big names. People are finally taking some of this shit seriously. And domestic violence is a problem that we see repeatedly in the context of big-time sports, so to sweep it under the rug and pretend you didn't know that an assistant should have been fired years ago just isn't going to fly very well in the current climate. I think he could be toast.

Has anybody ever told you that you look a lot like Tai? But a lot more jacked, of course. What's your eligibility status?

Also need a report on the bending of knees.

Obviously, a bag man involved.

And now new allegations of player abuse while at Florida. The plot continues to thicken.

The Real Mike Peltz would be honored....?

It's to bad Romeo left before the cancer did.

He might be a bit stiff but he would be good to dig up!

The WR coach [Smith] I believe has been a jackwagon! If you remember, he is the coach that started a twitter war with Coach Williams. If Urban hid the truth, OSU will be in a very uninviable position. Will Ohio State really do the right thing and fire their golden cow?

...plus, Jordy quit on his brothers and the fans in January. Nebraskan's tend to provide a second chance...but burn us twice!!! Don't let the door hit your backside on the way out our door.

Moos could pick up Coach "K" at the airport, drive him to PBA in a white Bronco on "Live" TV and some people would still bitch...

Jordy left later in the calendar than AWIII did. The funny thing though is generally speaking people are less upset because AWIII was a much better basketball player than Jordy.

Did they talk at all about Jordy leaving? Or did you just leave that one alone? We're going to miss Jordy's size and I was figuring him for 20+ min/game (his 14 from last year plus Duby's 7) and more if the starters got into foul trouble. Sounds like Amir can maybe fill Evan Taylor's role. That's very important. Evan was underrated last year. He didn't score a ton but he played good D, rebounded well from the guard position and dished a bunch of assists (third on the team.) Be nice if Amir can fill those shoes off the bat. And Thomas Allen can probably more than fill Anton Gill's shoes as Anton kinda started hot and fizzled late.

Let’s just get this out of the way now. Did they have hair on their legs?

Creighton #71. This must mean we beat them by 25 this year.

I, for one, am never going to bag on Sack.

Probably feels like a good ol' kick in the Sack.

Are we still in the chase for Chase?

If rumors of his weight gain are true I’d hate to be Dayton if Jordy lands on him.
