RIP to Jimmy Cliff. One of the great Reggae/Soul artists ever.

Ugh. Pitt lost at home to Quinnipiac by 8. So Pitt now has a 20 pt loss at West Virginia , a 10 point neutral court loss to UCF and an 8 point buy game loss to a MAAC school and has Ohio State and Texas A&M up next. In the last 10 years Jeff Capel has made the Tournament once. I’m guessing he’s dodged his last bullet.

Justin Wilcox out at Cal. Given what a lousy situation Cal’s in I really don’t understand what their expectations are. Seems to me the guy did pretty well. I really don’t know who’s gonna want that job who’ll be an upgrade.

Collins found the on switch for that kid. Looks like a totally different player.

If Chesney moves up JMU seems too obvious not to happen.

Hope that’s true. Not saying he’s them, but if Smart’s1st gig can be UGA and Bob Stoops could be OU Haines has no business having to start at, ya know, a Ball State. Dude’s earned better.

Been trying to figure out all year why Haines isn’t the hot coordinator HC candidate this cycle other than still fighting brand bias. I mean, the 41yo DC of the undefeated #2 team who’s been kicking everyone’s a$$ all year were he doing so at, say, Michigan would be up for a really good gig this cycle.

I hope so because I doubt he’s going anywhere, though I really like Carlie and she seems to not mess around. But I worked for a guy about a hundred years ago who said that if you see a coaching staff standing around and you can’t tell who the HC is without asking then they don’t have one. Have never forgotten that.

Yeah, but they have to be pleased with 3 loss Texas giving up 37 at home to a 2-8 team with no HC and moving up a spot. That’s the SEC home cookin’ they’re accustomed to!

The Colts are gonna win the division because it’s bad, but I’m gonna predict right now that they’ll never win anything significant with Steichen. As a Head Coach he’s an ok Offensive Coordinator, though any game where Alec Ogletree has as many targets as Alec Pierce needs to be seriously, seriously questioned. And watching KC just strangle them in the 2nd half. Playing 10 within 5 yds of the LOS and never backing up and them never trying to stretch them at all. Jesus. But that’s not it. The guy’s just not a leader. Watching him interact with players, anytime he’s making public pronouncements, any video of him interacting in the Colts complex, he looks like a kid wearing dad’s suit. The role’s too big for him. I’ll be happy to be wrong but I don’t believe in the guy in any way.

I assume broadcast teams debrief after games, right? Honest to God, how is Romo not humiliated listening to his embarrassing glazing of Mahomes after every Chiefs game they do? I’ve never even heard a local broadcast team as nakedly partisan as he is. Does Nantz never side eye him?

100%. For the next guy he is the touchstone for PSFB and you absolutely keep him.

Not sure what I clicked on, but Elon’s algo has inundated me with UMass sports and that might be the most beaten down, defeated fanbase I have ever run across. Currently 0-11 in the MAC along with 3-3 in basketball including a loss to Doug Gottlieb/Green Bay. A fair % don’t even want new coaches or a new AD. They just want to get out of D1 sports. It would be truly sad if it wasn’t so funny.

No might be about it. He is. That he can be straight unflappable and clear eyed analytically one moment and then literally in tears talking about his teammates like he was at the end of that Cal game last year, kid’s just a different animal. Please, God, not the Jets. That organization does not deserve that kid.

He’s isn’t getting that job in a million years and it would fly in the face of everything I believe about hiring coaches if he did, but Terry Smith is awesome. If you don’t want to play hard for that guy that is a serious you problem.

The announcers in the Northwestern-UVA game just described Thijs de Ridder of UVA as “the 21 year old true freshman.” Since that little factoid could have been prefaced by, “Hey Demo, we’re gonna pi$$ you off now” I was forced to check and the kid turns 22 in January. I swear to God. What are we doin’?

https://x.com/TheHoosierNet/status/1991682688709967912 WTH is up with this picture? No wonder Wilkerson has had a couple of tough shooting games. Apparently he’s gained 50lbs.

DDV is, what, 6’3” or so? That makes the kid all of 6’8”.

The joke with BallerTV is on whomever buys that crap. They were the source for 3SSB streams and I bought a day pass for $10 a couple of years ago to watch an event and the stream was complete trash. Constantly buffering. half the time the cameras weren't moving. Gave up after a couple of hours. An utter screwjob.

Gonna dig into him a little this weekend, but watched a couple of youtube vids and 2 things immediately popped: 1) He's a lefty and lefty shooting strokes are either beautiful or they look like they're having a seizure, pretty much no in between. That kid's is really pretty, like Calbert pretty. 2) You can easily see why he classed back. He doesn't look like he's ever touched a weight. He's not Brandon Ingram, he's got an ok frame, but he's really underdeveloped. More so than Karvala.

Yes he is. And if he wasn’t playing in the age of Wemby he’d probably have a decent shot at DPOY somewhere down the road.

IU 101 LU 62

Check this out. Mendoza starts at about 25:30. The kid just never puts a foot wrong. Ever

Will be really interesting to see how NBA teams rate Peat at draft time. The risk averse teams are gonna call him an undersized 4 whose range won’t extend and the smart ones are gonna say, yeah, but no one stops him and he moves well enough to defend.

Don’t know if Mickens has or will be visiting but, per Rivals, he is announcing 12/3 from a final 3 of IU, Oklahoma and Ole Miss.
