    Any reason there are so few fans other than it being Washington? Kind of a disappointing turnout.

    Catching up on scores from last night. Minny losing by 14 to the Blazers is awful. They have some serious shit to figure out. So do the Knicks, I guess. So far that trade has made both teams worse which is maybe understandable this early into the season.

    Michael Shermer is a buffoon. He's like the skeptic version of someone's uncle that talks about the lizard people at Thanksgiving.

    Striking fear into the hearts of the opponents with the Branham/Collins pick-and-roll I see. That lineup was such dogshit. The kind of stuff that Sochan would help prevent.

    Yeah it has basically every change inside the top 15 I would make. Tenn > BYU, everyone over Miami, BSU behind Miami/SMU. I'd maybe have Indiana above PSU.

    I understand. A ton of people cheer for more than one team because of various connections. I don't understand attending a school and not supporting their sports teams while you're a student. That's part of what makes college so fun. I mean isn't he going to get a ton of shit from his friends?
  7. ztejas
    I mean... that's a little bizarre.

    I'm not sure I see any way the loser of that game makes the playoff. It would take some chaos.

    That seems like an insane bet to make. I'm not sure I'd put money down that he even comes back this season. I could see him picking a game once he feels well enough to "retire" after. Also - we don't seem to have skipped a beat from a coaching perspective on the bench. Obviously that could go downhill at any given moment but how many well-coached games would he have to watch from home before he starts thinking "you know what - they look like they're going to be fine without me"? He's 75 and had a stroke. Unless it's on the extremely minor end then that's a big deal.

    Kid is going to wash out in a year or two. He already was barely good enough to play in the G League.

    I'm certainly not happy he had a stroke and wish it didn't happen this way but if we're all being honest it was time (or is time) for him to hang it up. He deserved to ride it out to the end and like you said - it appears he may have done just that. It's a brutal job - let alone for a dude on the wrong side of 70 - and there are a ton of younger guys with really sharp minds for the game and more energy. I still think his input on the roster is valuable. I haven't loved all of our FO moves over the past few seasons but on the level we've done a good job rebuilding and have cobbled a competitive little roster together. Let him keep his office and set him up with a cushy FO job and let him do as much (or as little) as he wants.

    I agree. Let's bring back Shaka.

    I just think we should let these guys play - idk - 10 games? before throwing them out with the bathwater. And still no Mark.

    I'm obviously fine with that myself but they have the 1st place team in the conference ranked 14th. Not sure how you wind up with a 2nd bid out of that. I guess ND losing would help. I mean they're telling us in this set of rankings that the ACCCG loser isn't going to get any respect.
  15. ztejas
    You could do 24. CCG participants get a bye into the 2nd round. Then you have 16 teams play for those 8 slots.
  16. ztejas
    You can't get rid of byes and still have CCGs. That's fucking stupid.
  17. ztejas
    Yeah that's fucking dumb. I don't think anyone is saying SMU is as good as Texas or should be ranked as high. What doesn't jibe is that SMU has a better ACC resume now than FSU does - with a non-con loss to undefeated #6 in the CFP. Miami kicked the shit out of Florida - we kicked the shit out of TCU. Miami could have easily lost to Va Tech and Cal - SMU could have easily lost to Duke (who the Canes also fucked around with). It seems incogruous to have BYU and Miami so high and then SMU 5 spots back. In this case it should work itself out as the ACC likely just gets 1 bid but that doesn't give the CFP a free pass to put out a bad slate of rankings. I would also have both Bama and Ole Miss ahead of Miami. Boise State is fucking overrated as well.

    With all of this political shit going on, couldn't someone just shoot Reggie Miller in the head and it would get kind of glossed over?
  19. ztejas
    16 point spread cover tonight. Beard would have covered by 500. Sick of this guy.
  20. ztejas
    Thats... not a good cooking recommendation.
  21. ztejas
    That Miami ranking is fucking laughable. I'd love to bitch more than that but the fact is SMU was never getting any respect this season. Need to get to Charlotte and take care of business. I'm not sure what it says that I think the AP ranking is better.
  22. ztejas
    The best idea I've heard is eliminating the corner 3 and having the arc end at the sideline.

    I remember when he broke Kyrie Irving's ankle to win a championship. That was dope.
  24. ztejas
    Oubre looks fucking ridiculous. He looks like how a Japanese anime artist would draw an NBA player that moonlights as a gun trafficker.

    For whatever reason, I think: "We are a people that has..." sounds closer to right than: "We are a people that is..." but it's the same issue and wrong in both instances. Phrase it that 2nd way in public and you will immediately be taken less seriously.
