1 under appreciated element at play here is there won’t be many games this year with 2 HC’s with better WTH faces. Cig’s may already be legendary, but Locksley’s is equally great.

That’s why Cig’s Cig and I’m me.

Gave up 5 secs before calling the TO. That’s a play.

The 1 thing that can’t happen. Jesus Christ

That call felt too cute to me. A backwards pass on the 6-inch line. If he throws it poorly or it’s dropped it’s a fumble. But neither of those things happened and it’s 7-0.

Prediction: Thibs will cease even bothering to pretend that he doesn’t hate coaching KAT before the end of the calendar year.

True, and what makes Pereira hysterical on these is that he doesn’t even pretend like he was actually watching in real time. “Mike, put the nachos down for a minute and tell us if this is targeting.”

Washington at Rutgers in a B1G conference game on a Friday night checks every conceivable WTH box.

Yup, but I’ll tell ya what, Jonas Hayes is a pretty good coach and has a reputation for being incredibly wired in Georgia recruiting. If he has the resources and given the ridiculous depth of talent down there it wouldn’t be a shock if he turned Georgia St into 1 of those MM’s that high majors won’t play.

Yup, that’s the one, and last year Montverde would have been given a better game by those guys. It was 85-20 or something like that.

I watched a couple of their preseason games last and be prepared for these to really, really suck. 1 thing, and I may be thinking about the wrong gym, but The Villages floor, I believe it was, has 3 huge stampeding bison on it and is awesome for that alone.

Fwiw: top 50ish DC combo guard Derek Dixon is announcing today and North Carolina has been thought to be his landing spot for a while. Very much a scoring guard in the Jasper Johnson mold. Should Dixon make the call for UNC and Adams for UConn there’s no scenario in which we’re not happy for those developments.

I didn’t fully realize it before following the Derik Queen recruitment, but for shear unadulterated tackiness Maryland has the worst fanbase in the B1G. I think they’re offended that the traditional fanbases still think of them as a quasi-ACC school and they’re just petulant as hell.

Kid barely played last year because of foot stuff. That is not promising.

I swear. There are way too many people who are way too proud of being utter creeps. If someone has a problem with the way Malik carries himself or reps the school that is 100% a them problem.

So, ESPN is cutting loose Zach Lowe and giving Stephen A Smith 25 mil a year. I really don’t know what to say to that.

IU 34 UM 24

What a ridiculous outlier. 4 NC contenders and Ole Miss.

I see your Josh Cunningham and raise you Moses Abraham.

Exhibit A, Sam Gilbert and that was 60 years ago. I don't love that kids are going to be more readily tagged as mercenaries now that things are more open when money is just a factor in a decision like any number of other things can be. But it does rain on the romantic notion that all these kids love their school the same way we do, though i think many if not most still do.

You could make an argument that Odom got jobbed a little bit. Maybe, maybe not. The AD who fired him didn’t hire him and then hung an academic issue involving a tutor doing schoolwork for players around his neck. Despite spending a bunch of money on upgrades there was a sense, probably legit, that the program was deteriorating. And Odom didn’t do himself any favors by whining about every perceived little slight or criticism and being pretty unaccountable. He was not the kind of guy anyone was looking to save.

Incredibly hard for me to believe that Cig is the sort to respond to random dudes spouting obvious crap on Twitter. But that is, in fact, his account.

Darius Adams announcing on Monday. UConn strikes me as JUST the spot for him.
