  1. He's currently playing in the Euroleague finals. I wouldn't put any stock in him saying that. The quote read to me like he just doesn't want to announce he's leaving after this year while his team is in the playoffs. Also, like was said before, the Suns hired his national coach, so I doubt that comment would be directed at Sacramento anyways. Plus, Vlade and Peja (Assistant GM) are huge in that area of Eastern Europe. I would be very surprised if they haven't known Doncic for years already. I doubt Doncic would have a problem with Sacramento.
  2. Definitely seemed odd to me. Although, I will say, Southern Californians and Californians in general don't give much of a shit about football compared to Texas or the South. Also, USC is private so who knows. Same goes for TCU's numbers.
  3. Keep in mind we were utter dogshit in 2015 and remained utter dogshit in 2016. Now having said that, I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear this but Texas had a revenue of $141.2 million, over double aggy's $70.4 million. But wait, that's not even the biggest disparity. aggy's profit for 2016 was a paltry $37.3 million, while UT's was $97.9 million, almost triple that of aggy. So yes, in a down time for our program we completely and utterly wiped the floor with them in revenue and, more importantly, profit. On a national scale, aggy was 17th in revenue and 18th in profit, while UT was healthily first in both, pacing fake UT, who finished second, by $30 mil in revenue and $20 mil in profit. It's such a mystery why aggy only touts conference superiority instead of merits of individual schools. A couple other interesitng notes, Bama was 3rd in revenue at $108 mil, but only made a profit of $45 mil, which shows how much fucking money they spend on football. Also, somehow USC was all the way down the list at 23, with $59.8 mil in revenue and $29 mil in profit, barely beating out TCU.

  4. While I don't really give a fuck about uniforms they way a lot of folks on here do, I saw this 247 live video and it cracked me up. I have no doubt this is causing aggy blood to boil. Not only are they not one of the teams that people can vote for, but UT is solidly in the lead for best uniforms.
  5. Clearly you can't comprehend the prodigious escapades of one Matt Flynn. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/02/sports/football/backup-flynn-sets-records-as-packers-beat-lions.html If you go to LSU, you are guaranteed to throw for 480 yards and 6 TDs in an NFL game. It's simple logic, really.
  6. So it went from 3 commits to 0 in the matter of 24 hours. Well, I am just shocked. Never change Hamm, never change.
  7. Well yeah that time, but I mean, what about next time?
  8. Do you want to be horribly under-developed in college and then become a late round pick that gets no shot at a roster spot? COME TO LSU!!!
  9. Definitely a possibility with Vlade at the helm. I guess the real question is whether/how much Vlade values Doncic over Auton. If I’m the Suns, I’m definitely gonna try to sucker Vlade into moving up.
  10. Vlade is from Eastern Europe, has a ton of connections over there, and tends to favor players from that region. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Kings and Suns both have Doncic at #1. Fox is a 1, Bogdanovic is 2, and Doncic is a 3. The kings need wings worse than anything. Doncic would be a great fit and like BIGorange said, when you’re that bad, you draft the most talented player.
  11. Lulz. I think it’s the exact opposite. The school gets punished, not the coach, so if aggy fires Jimbo for cause due to cheating, they might as well sanction themselves. Jimbo’s gonna see every dime of that $75 million.
  12. Are you saying that you believe Malik wouldn’t receive any additional compensation for playing football up to this point if it was a completely free market or if the NCAA didn’t have a rule making a player ineligible if they receive payment?

  14. EJ is doing his best to make it obvious without coming out and saying it. I can only imagine how the 247 base took that. I'm sure there's about 100 posters asking EJ what he means by strange. This was a guarantee to happen as soon as Jimbo was hired. It's how he operated at FSU and why he pulled so many IMG kids. Go look at the recruitment of Shavar Manuel in 2016. It has "strange" written all over it.
  15. Lulz. Classic back tracking. You’ve changed the term to “slave to the man” instead of referring to actual slavery like you did earlier and now you changed it to you “imply[ing] that maybe Malik thinks that.” You didn’t imply that; you literally said that. You brought slavery into something that Malik never did. He can mention he doesn’t get paid without thinking he’s a slave. He was part of a bad economic model and he expains why he opted to leave it. Jumping right to slavery is ridiculous. I pointed that out and now you’re back tracking.
  16. Yeah. I understand where you got that from. It doesn’t make your post any less idiotic.
  17. Like others mentioned, Suns hired Doncic’s coach from the Slovenian national team, which makes me think he’ll go first but who knows.
  18. You’re a fucking moron. He never said anything about being a slave. Only that he could get paid to do the same thing he is now and maximize his abilities by going pro, which is true. He’ll become a better football player faster by devoting all his time and resources to focusing solely on football. Donovan Mitchell had a quote to that effect earlier in the NBA season. You bringing up the word slave unprompted is ridiculous. Go fuck yourself.
  19. Y’all have believed every Bobby Burton article you’ve ever read on this site, haven’t you?
  20. I'm not taking Hamm's word or EJ's CB as fact, but regardless, it's hard to get worked up about possibly missing on Banks (although I'm sure some will) and not even because of our 2018 haul. We can pretty easily find a guy comparable to Banks in this class, especially if we know we need to replace him in June.
