  1. Of all of the basketball games I've watched - this is one of them. The good: 40 year old Chris Paul is keeping us in it The bad: 40 year old Chris Paul is keeping us in it
  2. Okay. Not trying to take this thread this seriously. You wrote some lame Gen X >>> rhetoric and I called you out on it.
  3. This is my favorite recent discovery. Fixed the link. Here. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272352125_The_Ketchum_Project_What_to_Believe_about_Bigfoot_DNA_'Science' Basically an aggy vet professor took a bunch of Bigfoot DNA and tried to lie about what it revealed.
  4. Damn no shit. Where did you get your education again?
  5. Sorry you have poor taste. This is fucking crazy. I was about to bump this thread but I didn't and then you bump it from 10 days ago 10 minutes later. This was what I was going to post but I felt like it didn't quite fit the thread.
  6. Also I can't believe I'm carrying water for you nerds like this right now.
  7. I disagree with this. A lot. I also think this is a crazy statement. And, no offense, but don't you live in Europe? I went to neither of these schools yet I interact with their grads/fans on a daily basis. in fact - I interacted with a ton of aggy fans last weekend and thought they were all mostly pleasant. And I still think both of your above, quoted statements are fucking insane. He doesn't.
  8. I mean the Journal thinks so so you're probably right.
  9. I'm curious to see what we look like with Vassell back.
  10. This is a actually a good point. @Kermit and I are going to continue to be inconsolable assholes about various aspects of the team but we would like you to stick around to potentially bring the tone down every once in awhile. Let me just ask you this - what are your thoughts on Patty Mills post 2017?
  11. Yeah dawg I don't live in the fucking woods.
  12. This roster should not be trying to tank. Chris Paul didn't sign up to tank. In fairness - we lost to the best team in the league, on the road, without our 3rdish? best player by 12 points. I don't really have faith that Pop still knows what he's doing because he hasn't proven it yet but regardless of the HC Wemby shouldn't be clocking in performances like that. Vic needs to get his shit together and be tighter and work harder. I'm not buying any physical limitation shit - dude was one of the best 10 players in the league post-ASB last season.
  13. No - not in all fairness. He needs to be better. You gonna swarm KD and hold him to 6 points? No - you're not. And - that said - I think you are the best team in the NBA right now.
  14. I thought looting was legal in California.
  15. Look -we all know they aren't all bad people or wholly incompetent at making a living - and yes they have some good schools on campus - that doesn't make aggy a better school than Texas and it doesn't make the majority of them not a bunch of irritating fucking goofballs when you accidentally venture into the wrong topic of discussion. I typically don't like people or enjoy their company based on how successful they are. I like them based on their integrity, what they believe in, and how interesting they are to be around or converse with. And I think that elite universities should strive to instill those values just as much as they strive to add commas to their graduate's pay-checks. Kids don't attend aggy to expand their world-view or broaden their horizons. They attend because they're wired in that weird fucking aggy-fashion and the school speaks to them, or they are chasing a specific degree that the school does at a high level (ag, engineering, vet) or because they didn't get in to their first or second choice. It isn't a bad way to set up your life (if its what you're into and what you value) but they aren't changing the world or moving the fucking needle down there very frequently. That said - if I'm being honest - there are things about Texas that I'm not a fan of and that I can be a bit more objective about as someone that didn't attend but has been inundated with since I was born. There are things about my own alma mater that I don't like, but obviously I'm much more subjective and biased across the board there. Every school has its pros and cons. For some folks - aggy legitimately is a better fit than Texas or Rice would be. But - if we're going to be adults about it - we all know that Texas and Rice do a lot more to break barriers and challenge the status quo than aggy ever has or ever will. Personally, I think that's the mark of a great university: somewhere game-changing ideas are born and encouraged.
  16. It happens literally all the time. Sixteen teams averaged 89+ FGA/g last season.
  17. There have been shitty teachers forever. Gmafb acting like it's a generational thing. Like someone else said the issue is that the job fucking sucks.
  18. Davidson is an elite liberal arts school. Whatever the fuck Babson college is at #2 is the real WTF.
  19. Huge moment for LeBron and Bronny as the latter gets his first points in the NBA. (Lakers 110 - Cavaliers 134)
  20. I think you're right. I bet it's at least 16 years before they win another one.
  21. Cheating used to be about handing players money under the table, creative abuse of scholarship limits, and sanctioned PED programs. This game used to have morals, dammit.
