    This.  Fuck the ND and BYU snowflakes if they don't want to play along with everybody else.  

    Five P5s and 3 best G-5 champs.  Would have taken care of the vast majority of controversy over the last 20 years.

    G-5 as in the MWC, Conf USA, WAC, etc?  No.  1 auto bid for them.

    I brought MJ into this as the extreme example of what we so often see. In hindsight, MJ is some kind of otherworldly champion, but at 26, his reputation was that of a stat stuffer who couldn’t get past the great teams of his era. That was the MJ of my youth, not the guy who would surely will his team to victory.

    Dirk’s clutch play in contrast with LBJ disappearing in the 4th quarter was Lebron’s legacy until it wasn’t. Now he’s maybe the second best ever; then he was a superstar but also a punchline to lots of jokes.

    At 26, KD’s Thunder choked away a 3-1 lead. Now he’s an unstoppable force. He’s coming off a career-ending injury, just lost his MVP-winning #2 teammate, and it doesn’t seem to matter.

    The criticisms of Giannis, which are fair right now, could be tweaked and made of many all-time great superstars at the same age. We forget how young 26 is in NBA terms.

    I make the MJ, KD, LBJ comparisons only because there’s a reasonable chance that Giannis will be the guy after the decline of KD. Maybe he’ll instead be the guy who’s not quite good enough, but he’s a pretty reasonable candidate for the next unstoppable force — and we shouldn’t be surprised that he’s not that guy quite yet.

    There’s varying levels of greatness among MJ, LBJ, and KD, but the comparison seems apt for a guy who doesn’t seem to be quite there yet. Maybe they were closer, but they weren’t there either.

    No, I think it could be a guy like Zion, Luka, Trae Young, Ja, etc.

    We're not getting Ewers. The $9.95ers are just keeping that alive for clicks.

    People seem to feel legitimately pretty good about Manning. Apparently the family likes Sark a lot. Let's be realistic, though - there's at least 18 months left until he can sign, and all the national powerhouses will be recruiting him. If someone told me that we had like a 25% shot at this juncture, I'd feel pretty good about that.

    I think the only culprit is IT right?  I have no sub to any of these sites so I may be talking out of my ass, but only Eric and his crew are banging that drum....just like Saban, though I thought that was probably real.  IT is desperate.

    I was in Orange Beach this last Wednesday-Friday.  I don't know if everyone got fat the last year or if all the fat people just decided to come out or if the fat people only come out during the week, but holy shit.  There were 300# people in bikinis.  Ratio of people not in danger of having heart attacks to those in danger of having them was 1:9

    Ain't like that in southern California.

    Flying back from SF, some guy put his jacket and hat up in the overhead bin. I loudly ask to no one in particular “WHO PUT THEIR JACKET AND HAT UP HERE?”, before unceremoniously shoving it into the back corner and crushing it with my suitcase. Turns out it was the guy in my row across the aisle from me. He glared at me, I glared back. Because fuck him that’s why. 

    If you're going to put your jacket up there, be prepared for my nasty suitcase, mud side down

  6. Neighbor is going on a three week vacation.  Wife agrees to take care of their fish. In less than 24 hours, either my cat or my dog, haven't figured it out, knocked down the mini aquarium, killing the fish.  The fish was alive for three hours out of water.

    I don't mind Eli. He seems like a pretty solid dude, and at one time I believe he wanted to come to Texas, but we got Simms instead. 

    Yea.  Heard him on interviews.  Kind of a down to earth guy.  He just has resting whiney jerk face

    So Abuela is going to get 70K and counting.   I guess that's fucked up how he went about it but also great for her.  

     

    These are real donations right? 

    I think they're passing on the help.
