Tough to do anything well with an injured back.

Been dealing with a back injury since 2018. When you're in the throes of an acute flair up it's hard to just exist. It's tough to do anything well, average, or even poorly

Great burgers; but the smell and taste of Runza's make me sick...it is the cooked cabbage thing...

Hahaha it's funny because in any other food I agree completely. But for some reason in Runzas it works for me.

Not joking, Runza in general (and Temperature Tuesday in particular) is one of the things I miss the most after moving out of state.

Every couple of years I order them and have them shipped to me. It's STEEP but I don't make it back to Nebraska. And like you it's one of the things I miss the most.

Would a soccer team be better at baseball or a baseball team at soccer?

Depends on where the soccer team is from.

i don’t think that would bother Fred much when you look back on his Iowa State days.  He was pretty good with transfers back then.

I agree. I think he's figured out how he wants to approach transfers in this new portal era. Took him a bit to get his sea legs under him, but I think he'll be steady from here on out

Boy that would be quite the haul..

 

If Fidler was to come that would put us at 6 seniors next year I believe..  I know the transfer portal age is different but anyone else a bit concerned with having that many seniors...??

Nope. I'd wager we'll average 5 transfers every off-season from here on out unless they change the rules of the transfer portal.

Silver lining that many transfers probably encourages the underclassmen to stay. Especially since the Super Senior are no longer a thing.

McDermott has a pretty stellar record of getting guys to stick around the PLANTATION even when it's against their best interest to do so though.  He has ruined more than one pro career in a selfish effort to further his program.

 

Anybody remember Justin Patton?  Yeah, me neither.  I had to look him up to remember his name.

FIFY

The idea that I like is you forfeit a chance at the postseason the following year if you turn down the NIT bid.   That’ll keep the fringe teams like St Johns in.   

Two issues I see with this. Don't know how this works with the portal dates as they currently are. Gonna have teams there with a bare bones roster. The other issue is generally when you make people do something they don't want to they're not gonna give the greatest effort. Or it makes the transfer decision for the player easier to make sooner.

Can I just say how blown away (in a good way) that at a P5, men's athletics program - that one of our culture values is "Be Kind"? 

 

Call me soft, I really don't care. 

Nowhere close to soft. Kindness rivals few, if any, other characteristics a human being can possess.

A LOT of guys go into the portal and don't get an offer from anyone. (If you leave Detroit Mercy for more playing time, where do you go?) In addition, a lot of coaches oversign on recruits, and guys get bumped to make room. They move down.

 

It's not a zero sum game. Or maybe it is a zero sum game. I can never get that right.

To me this rationale would mean a lot of kids in the portal just stop playing basketball which may very well be the case

The vast majority are moving down, not up

I have nothing but a feeling, but I feeeeeel this can't be true. Gotta be closer to 50/50 right?!? Like we have 6 open spots. Presumably they will all transfer down/laterally. And we'll fill 6 open spots. From guy moving up/laterally. Make it make sense! 

If it keeps going they way it is we can change it from -

Culture. Fit

To 

Warm. Bodies

I can imagine being an NC State fan right now.  Finished grad school there in '93.  I don't know what happened to light a fire under them to start them on this run.  They weren't a bad team during the regular season, just extraordinarily mediocre.  Lost most of their games by less than 10 points - could never quite get over the hump.  I certainly thought they underachieved and this post-season run seems to back that up.  It's been quite enjoyable - especially disposing of the Dookies twice and the Tar Holes once along the way (the vast majority of people in NC are Duke and UNC fans, so playing 3rd fiddle or lower to both gracious and arrogant fans for the past 30 years has been quite annoying).

 

Facing Purdue is going to be tough because they haven't seen a dominant monster like Edey (I guess you can say that about any team facing Purdue).  NCSU's bigs tend to get in foul trouble and they're only 3 deep.  Might have to run some lightly used guys off the bench to absorb some fouls.  Also, I think Burns will have a real hard time attacking Edey.  His quick spin moves might get him around Edey, but since they measure his vertical with sheets of paper, Edey will probably be able to just block his shots from behind.  Burns is a real good passer, but that's usually from a double-team.  I don't think Purdue will double him much.  But, Burns only had 4 against Marquette.  Different guys have been stepping up during this run.

I am really good friends with an alum and HUGE fan. Refuses to engage in conversation about it because he's afraid to jinx it Told me at the beginning of the tournament to watch out for DJ and that they are sneaky good.
