  1. Not trolling you what-so-ever, this just came to mind as I'm watching the UCLA/Michigan State game. Curious to hear your thoughts. Where do you see us stack up against UCLA? They're the #4 team in the Pac-12. We lost to Michigan State in both of our attempts this year; UCLA just knocked Michigan State out of the tournament. I just struggle to see our roster matching up against UCLA and being in the top 4 of the Pac-12 this season. Sure, there's 10 Pac-12 teams better than us in the NET rankings and a large part of that is likely attributed to our losses in such a heavy SOS league, but I'd probably lean closer to #5-7 in the Pac-12 than I would #1-4.
  2. It turns out the 2nd and 3rd Domino's were created within the same county as the original DomiNicks in Ypsilanti, Michigan. At that point, they wanted to keep the same branding with its stores, but the original owner forbade them from continuing to use DomiNicks for those additional stores. That's when they rebranded to the Domino's name. The three dots on their logo represented those three stores once they rebranded to the Domino's name in 1965.
  3. People were all over Dave Hoppen for that also. Can always find a flaw, but Jorge brought a lot to the table. I'm going with Dean on this one. You could argue that he was polite to the rim and didn't want to hurt it... ...but then you watch this season, where we've likely missed 10+ dunks and you dream of having a JBD soft shooter.
  4. Bump. 18 hours away from signing up and locking in your brackets.
  5. Why stop at one former head coach to be on the Nebraska basketball staff?
  6. Going into the First Four "Dayton" games, here's a look at the current conference representation for the tournament: Rank Conference # of Teams 1 Big Ten Conference 9 2 Atlantic Coast Conference 7 3 Big 12 Conference 7 4 Southeastern Conference 6 5 Pac-12 Conference 5 6 Big East Conference 4 7 American Athletic Conference 2 8 Atlantic 10 Conference 2 9 Missouri Valley Conference 2 10 Mountain West Conference 2 11 West Coast Conference 2 12 America East Conference 1 13 Atlantic Sun Conference 1 14 Big Sky Conference 1 15 Big South Conference 1 16 Big West Conference 1 17 Colonial Athletic Association 1 18 Conference USA 1 19 Horizon League Conference 1 20 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference 1 21 Mid-American Conference 1 22 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference 1 23 Northeast Conference 1 24 Ohio Valley Conference 1 25 Patriot League 1 26 Southern Conference 1 27 Southland Conference 1 28 Southwestern Athletic Conference 1 29 Summit League Conference 1 30 Sun Belt Conference 1 31 Western Athletic Conference 1
  7. And, really, it just comes down to who Mark Cuban wants.
  8. Of course, "I'm not going anywhere" usually means that they're going somewhere.
  9. Well...this one is like calling Mark "Michael" instead of his actual name for their entire life. Indians originate from India; Natives to America never had a connection to India. That aside, it's kind of weird to name a team after a mass group of people. New Jersey Caucasians just has a weird ring to it.
  10. Idk, miles thought that job was his. Rugs getting pulled out can change things. I don't want to speak for Miles, but I'd imagine if he's mad, he's mad at UNM not Pitino. And if he ends up in the same conference and has a chip in his shoulder in that matchup, it's probably directed at the university.
  11. It's not official until Brian Rosenthal says so.
  12. ... apparently not far enough South to get to Oklahoma.
  13. At the very end, your worst prediction gets dropped. So that's where you're seeing some swings. I was thinking about this too, might be worth showing the "score with worst prediction dropped" going into the final week. But if we kept a rolling "score with worst prediction dropped" throughout the weekly updates, it would be much harder to 3rd party audit, week-to-week.
  14. According to their website, the first Domino started in 1960 in Michigan and was originally called "DomNick's". It wasn't until 1965 when they changed the name to "Domino's" https://www.dominos.com/en/about-pizza/pizzeria/#:~:text=The Domino's story began in,there were 5%2C000 Domino's stores.
  15. Iowa State would also have to fork over $8.75M to buy out Hoiberg's contract.
  16. Michigan sitting at #22:
  17. Hot take on the Nebraska/Oklahoma situation: https://www.bannersociety.com/platform/amp/2021/3/15/22332328/nebraska-football-scott-frost-college-football-2021-ncaa-mac
  18. I can't imagine this is good... Better have a deep bench of refs available.
  19. As the Nebrasketball mantra goes: "There's always next year."
  20. This one got me In reality it was more like "uhhh, maybe I shouldn't have made jokes in a couple of those weekly updates that I clearly cheated when I had that good run going for a bit."
  21. They're working on it:
