Big 12 basketball on quite the roll

Stats say there’s not an innate talent

The teams with the most success tend to just have the most picks

That was the Jimmy Johnson philosophy

That was the Jimmy Johnson philosophy

And it helped not to have a salary cap

I think so too...and I'm pretty sure Manek played that whole game with a concussion.

Carolina had a great run considering Joe Lunardi said before the regular season finale the Tar Heels wouldn't make the tourney.

I'm just glad first year HC Davis had more success than anyone could have imagined. Hopefully ending Kruzawooooski's career will help with recruiting.

Hope y'all land him. Great player...

Honey Badger returning to Louisiana is too good to not happen, right?

Gonna be expensive. I think he’s holding out for 15-16 mil a year over 3-4 years. Tough position to invest that kind of money. All the same, he’s a great player. I just fear his next team will be paying for past performance

That is why most big NFL free agent signings turn out bad.

They are paying for the past, not the future.

Fell asleep last night and just saw video of Bacot injury. That’s fucking bush league that you go to the Final Four and you can’t get a legitimate floor to play on.

 

[shopson67]

Exactly. Look at DeShaun Watson. If he were a Kaepernik level talent, he's not getting any contract...let alone one that is completely guaranteed.

You're equating dozens of sexual abuse allegations with someone kneeling during the anthem, lol.

I'm not sure the flex in the boards caused the injury, but it certainly isn't a good look. That's what happens when you don't have a dedicated basketball arena ($$$).

They both POS's but if Kaep was as good as watson he'd still be in the league.

 

[shopson67]

Tell the whole story. They’re selling out and devoting monster future draft capital to draft a QB in what many are calling the worst draft for QBs in quite some time. Just tell the whole story on why people are laughing.

If they get their guy and he works out, then the trade was worth it. The odds aren't in their favor given the crop of QBs this season, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. If they don't go QB, the move is interesting if not a bit confusing.

I don’t wanna go back and look.

But if you can let me know what your friends Algo thinks of corral when it gets the data

And randomly, why does it take this long to get the data? Or does he outsource scraping and such and that’s why?

Yeah, that's what I did.

You should be embarrassed at yourself for posting something this stupid.

Using Watson as an example in any Kaep discussion is embarrassing IMO. Kaep did nothing of note for anyone to consider counting him out. He was protesting largely in silence until the press inquired and blew it up. Opposing views converted his protest into disrespect for the flag and extended to the troops to excuse their lack of support for equal justice. Getting canceled for being on the correct side of an issue is ludicrous.

No it isn't. It was used as a comparison as to why one is in the league and the other isn't. You're the only one who took it any other way. So take your bullshit someplace else.

I can’t really answer without giving away what he does.

And since the data is private, I don’t want to get him in trouble by saying too much.

 

[Think McFly Think]

You know better than most, ‘tis the way of this place. Your words, sentences or full statements will be spun to no end; leading to complete thread disarray and randomness (granted, mostly in the PF).

But I’ll be damned if it’s not entertainment for me…lol
