  1. Semis and finals are 3 games. NY6 is, obviously, 6 games. What do you do with the other 3 bowl games in the year they are not part of the playoff? With the top 16 teams off the board, who is going to play in the other NY6 games? Is the Rose Bowl really going to be played between 4 loss teams? Are the NY6 bowls only going to be played the year they are part of the playoff? Do bowls go away entirely with the playoff?
  2. you could see how frustrated she was with her first serve - I don't think she got a single first serve in for one of those games she served for the match. Missed that wide open volley too. Tough way to lose, but onward and upward.
  3. haha, that's fair. She pretty much started tanking when I watched. She went lost the first 6 points of the tie break, and lost 11 of the last 14 points once she was up 6-5. Look forward to the rematch in conference play.
  4. serving for the match ...and double faults the game away. 5-5 in the 3rd set. Chavatipon shows some guts, breaks back. Serving for the match again. ...and Chavatipon misses another chance to close out the match. 6-6, heading to a tiebreak.
  5. it's closer to 15 pounds, but yes, still freaky.
  6. That might have been the worst last shot play I've even seen.
  7. she's not injured.
  8. it is legit - not based on any UA measurements.
  9. he's already there
  10. he was a senior this past season.
  11. Sean Baker must be thrilled.

  13. The claim that Worthy milked injuries or somehow was soft and "injured" a lot is one of the ridiculous things I have read on this site in a long time. Worthy came in as a freshman uncommonly focused - he was a tenacious worker from day 1 and is the furthest thing from soft. Marion was an awful hire and was more concerned with being the cool big brother than actually running his room - but even in the midst of all that, Worthy's toughness, work ethic, and heart should never be questioned.
  14. Very good post - I'm not adding much except to say that we tend to focus on learning scheme, adjusting to speed, getting stronger when it comes to freshman adjustments. Those are all true and important, but there is so much more - especially on the mental side - that isn't as appreciated in conventional fan wisdom but is very much part of the growth, maturation, and development of player.
  15. Bledsoe is 290 - he's plenty big enough for the position.
  16. It is more this... ...than this. Vic is old school and doesn't want to change.
  17. does it? Because Barbie is the one movie that sticks out as a sore thumb for being nominated. It was definitely a cultural phenomenon and might have been fun, but it was an absolute trainwreck from a writing/directing perspective. If there is one movie people will look back on in 20 years and wonder what the heck people were thinking, it will be Barbie. That being said, I am also shocked Gerwig wasn't nominated. I'm really happy to see Triet nominated. Anatomy of a Fall is such a well written, well acted, well directed movie, and if even one facet was subpar the entire film would have collapsed. Incredibly well conceived and constructed. I'll save my outrage for Song (and Greta Lee for actress). I know it is a deeply unpopular opinion, but Nolan has incredible strengths as a director/film maker but also some massive weaknesses. There was much to admire about Oppenheimer, but I thought the direction held the film back. I'd kick Nolan out and put in Song (and bump Bening for Lee while we're at it).
  18. I liked Godzilla Minus One. It is an excellent Godzilla story and well made. There is no way in the world it would ever sniff the best international film. I've seen 8 as well (need to see American Fiction an Maestro). My personal ranking so far. Past Lives/Anatomy of a Fall/Poor Things ... The Zone of Interest/Oppenheimer/Killers of the Flower Moon ... The Holdovers ... ... ... ... Barbie
  19. FWIW, Bledsoe was in the 290's by the end of the season.
  20. food poisoning
  21. If I'm reading the chart correctly, A&M has 23 transfers with 0 5 stars, 8 4 stars and 13 3 stars. 13+8=21. Does this mean 2 of their transfers are less than 3 star?
  22. I really liked the season overall but thought the finale was exceptionally weak.
