Do you feel like the ref stopped the fight too soon?

@cipsucks I'm surprised you didn't include a clip of the greatest first round of boxing in the history of the world.

"I don't know how to speak with a Nebraska accent, so. I don't even know if there is one." "Cornhuskers! Fuck Texas!"

It just happened last night.

Begging the question.

Quite the trifecta.

Awhile back, I had kind of promised @basketballjones that I had some off-topic threads in mind to keep the discussion going even during the off-season. Some recent posts, including one by @Red Rum have caused me to rethink this effort. I'm going to defer to the preference of the board. Comment if you want, but please vote. If you don't want me making off-topic threads during the off-season, vote accordingly. And, if most people don't want them, I will refrain from starting them. If you like coming here fore water-cooler talk and appreciate the off-topic threads, then vote accordingly. I have some other topics in mind, like I told jones that I did. But if people really don't like them, I won't post them. I only came up with some OT ideas for the off-season because I thought people appreciated them, and if I'm wrong about that, PLEASE let me know. I mean it. I'm not going to take offense. If you don't want OT threads in the off season, vote that way; if you do want them, let me know. And I will honor the vote. Vote away.

I'm a sentimental fool. I LOVE that song. I try not to care about celebrities passing, but this one is sad to me. A part of my youth just died.

Overtime Elite has solid recent history in the NBA draft. "Will maintain his college eligibility." chortle snort

Ah, yes, takes me back to the early days of 2020.

I think he's still recovering from off-season ankle surgery. Don't know if that's the problem but it sure would explain what you see and also be something potentially temporary that he might recover from.

With all the new faces, this would have been a really great year to do this. And I'm sure the commitments were made before anyone knew that Mast would be playing for his home country's Olympic team, Allick and Keita would be held out due to ongoing recovery from injuries, Gary would be just now released for contact, and Mattar would commit but not be eligible due to not having been enrolled already.

Right now, I think PG is the most up-in-the-air spot in the starting lineup. The most uncertainty. Seems like it could go a lot of different ways. Specifically, PG options: Ulis -- former starting PG at Iowa, 3 seasons of college ball Lawrence -- has mentioned having more of an on-ball role this season Lloyd -- Hoiberg praised his playmaking ability in recent presser, says he'll play a lot Jacobsen -- Walk-on; Hoiberg praised his toughness, understanding of what they're trying to do, says he's definitely worked his way into the rotation If these guys were racehorses and this was the Kentucky Derby and you were handicapping the race, what odds would you give to each to be the starter at point for us this coming season? And they're off ...

I'd say JR Strowbridge is the top end of that scale. Someone has to occupy the bottom spot and Elijah Wood is thankful that Tim Miles recruited Dedoch Chan.

"Lawrence shot 4-of-7 on jumpers inside of 17 feet and 1-of-4 on 2-point jumpers beyond 17." And there's a reason 2-pointers over 17 feet is no man's land.

Washut just posted a Crystal Ball to AZ State. I keed, I keed.

Oh, and they are finally listing Juwan Gary as being in the same class (eligibility) as CJ Wilcher.

Jordy Bahl's little brother Bryson, anyone?

Lesson learned from past experience: Make sure he took the correct English proficiency exam and that you uploaded the results to the necessary eligibility body.

@Swan88 will be happy to see we finally landed Matthew Atewe. Just joking. This guy looks better than Atewe.

Can he join us in Spain?

OK, I'm in.

I put this in our 23-24 opponents thread so I'll just cut and paste my post from there...
