I might take the 19-20 Montverde team that had Cunningham and Barnes and Moses Moody and that bunch on the strength of a little more depth. But those 2 teams are the entire list.

Was thinking about the micro-debate in basketball circles about this time last year about whether the 23-24 Montverde team could contend in some mid-major conferences with a fair number of experts arguing that they couldn’t contend in any conference or really compete over a full conference schedule. 15 or so games into their college careers, all at at P4 schools, this is what they’re doing: Cooper Flagg(Duke). 17.5pts/8.5rebs/3.7assts w/1.6stls & 1.3blks on 46/31/78 splits 31mins Liam McNeeley(UConn) 13.6pts/5.8rebs/2.6assts on 43/38/85 shooting splits 30mins Derik Queen(Maryland). 16.0pts/8.0rebs/2.0assts w/1.3stls & 1.1blks on 56/11/76 splits 27mins Asa Newell(Georgia). 15.5pts/6.9rebs/1.1 assts w/1.2stls & 1.1blks on 59/29/67 splits 27mins Rob Wright(Baylor). 12.4pts/2.2rebs/4.9assts w/1.0stls & 2.5 to 1 asst/to on 47/41/77 splits 27mins Curtis Givens(LSU). 5.0pts/1.4rebs/1.7assts on 29/26/77 splits. 15mins Fww

Alright then. That’s out of the blue. Per his feed has offers from Bama, Xavier and Stanford. Icelandic big who plays at CATS Academy in Boston. Ok, you now know everything I know.

Can’t really argue.

I felt the same. Credit where it’s due. Dude made it happen. But I can’t root for them. I want to see ND and OSU in the NC game solely for the IU angle, but since I can’t then root for both to lose I’m just looking for an entertaining game.

Check this out. This is just plain cool. I’d be a sucker for it under any circumstances because Amadeus is probably a top 10 movie for me, love it, and the Confutatis scene is the brilliant climax. That this guy inserted this beautiful graphic score scrolling in real time with the writing and playing is awesome. Bravo to the guy. Oh, and the music’s pretty good.

Some NFL team is gonna spend a top 5 type pick on Allar and give him a bunch of money in 1 of the next 2 drafts and they’re gonna be getting Daniel Jones. Every Penn St game the broadcast media spends the entire game telling us he’s a Guy and he’s just not.

What? Don’t be cute. Foul the living hell out of them.

Sometimes it takes a minute, but it really is the damndest thing what the right guy can do.

LaVelle Moton, the HC at North Carolina Central is a really, really good coach. His team’s are really disciplined and they play hard, always. But you’re only gonna get so much done at a school with those resources. I wonder if a really smart, thinking outside the box kind of guy taking on a high profile high major job could perhaps poach him for an AHC? Wonder if any jobs like that could be coming open in the next few months? Hmmmm

Jesus, can they do something about the woman next to the mic in the Iowa-Nebraska game who just keeps screaming? My Lord.

Given the depth of talent now and the roster volatility every year I imagine we’ll be able to post this every year for the foreseeable future. I don’t see how a team goes undefeated now. Hell, that team only had maybe 6 or 8 games they had any chance of losing and they had 4 or 5 they easily could have. Now, I don’t care how good the team is they’ve got 15 they can realistically lose. Personally, I like IU’s undefeated standard holding up longer than the Dolphins.

In the UGA-UK game Demary for UGA dove on a loose ball right in the middle of the floor and slid every bit of 6ft on his back with his feet in the air before passing it and 3 refs with clear as day views don’t call a walk. I literally don’t know what a walk is any more.

God love you and yours, Sir.

I’ll be surprised if AR isn’t the starter next year. They drafted what they knew to be a total ball of clay at the time and I’m sure they sold Irsay on the idea that it would take a couple of years. In fact, I imagine AR losing last off season probably saved everyone’s jobs this offseason.

https://x.com/JimIrsay/status/1876077486645354511 Guess Bradley’s gonna be scapegoated here and they’ll move on. Pretty tough to take the organization seriously at this point.

Why does Steichen’s get a pass? He was brought in to do 2 things: develop a 1st rd QB and instill a culture that was lacking under Reich. He’s done neither. If I was a GM candidate and Irsay told me I needed to keep the HC I would end the interview. I’m picking my own guy,

Just read the kid was 2nd on UM in receiving yards with 248. Smh. The UM receiving room must have been looking at their QB’s like Ant looks at Julius Randle.

Fitzgerald had a fairly crazy stat year: 55 total tackles including 7 for loss. 8 pass breakups, 3 picks and a forced fumble. That’s pretty freaking productive.

Yeah, the Pope thing is really a problem. The idea that UK has Pope and Purdue has Painter, 2 guys I would actively root for at literally any other jobs, really grinds my gears.

SEC basketball is currently what SEC football keeps trying to cling to but isn’t anymore. It’s miles ahead of every other conference this year. Watching this game after watching OSU-MSU last night, Jesus. It’s the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it.

Benson was a LT here in ‘23 and a RT at CU, correct? I seem to recall him looking the part but struggling a fair amount. Am I remembering him wrong? Regardless, if Bostad’s good with working with him again, that’s good enough.
