Bryan Medema

I did 16 last year and I found myself scraping the bottom of the barrel for talent. Takes real talent and luck to win there.

Why not push for 12? Makes for a better league anyways.

  I think the key is IMPACT. I don't think anyone is expecting anyone outside of Bryant to hav a significant impact given the depth of our (holy crap I finally get to say it) VETERAN roster.

Couldn't be happier with the draw...I want to see us tested, but I feel the teams we'd have to play to get to the final will be quality, albeit not ELITE, wins. UCLA and UNLV could be very dangerous and I'd be concerned they'd catch us off gaurd, so avoiding them early is definitely a win. Finals or bust.

Limboing my way in. I'll take it. 

too late to join?

BBNMeetup is a thing. Still haven't stopped laughing. Please help me come up with some slogans.... ...helping Kat fans find kin(dred souls). ...KatKousins was already taken. ...We pay for the players, all you pay for is love. ...BBNMeetup: Keeping it in the family.

Franschilla talking about his defensive potential. A shame we can't have him this year.

Let's go Pharaoh.

The WWII museum in NOLA (formerly the D-Day Museum) is an incredible museum, but a rough walk-through. I highly encourage it for anyone.

You've got a deal. I'm in Arkansas right now, I'll try and get some razorback too. Blanks kill things, right?

I just came into a large amount of venison and lamb. Any suggestions?

I actually heard from a fine Panda Express (RIP) with glazed over eyes tell me that Tom Crean and Tom Thibidou once met for lunch at Panda (~2 years ago). Clearly this plan has been in the works for a while.

Perfectly said.

Both parties just don't like each other on personal AND business grounds.

Just throwing it out there: It's at least a misdemeanor to be present when someone else is using drugs OR that you know they possess them.

Mad Max makes the Fast and Furious look like a drivers ed video on proper etiqute.

Saw it, loved it, had to fight off the urge to run people off the road/throw explosives at them on the drive home. Best action movie I've seen in years.

Any thoughts on how (if approved) the rule changes benefit/hurt IU? Brief run down of substantive rules (help me out if I forget any important ones). -Shot Clock to 30s -Reduce timeouts; only 3 Carry-over -Combine coach/media timeouts within 30s -10s to the timeline doesn't reset -Increased restricted zone (4ft) -Stricter enforcement of defensive fouls -Dunk in warm ups -Hanging on rim tech change (1shot) All told I think CTC has to be salvaging over these rules. Speed up the game and benefit a fast paced team? That sounds like us. Even the restricted area rule plays to his forte. In a vacuum I like these rules anyways, but as an IUBB fan I think this could be a big help next year. Thoughts?

Website idea: A rolling counter of unused CTC timeouts? Seems more applicable than his buyout website....

True, but I really feel the overall strength will cancel those out (at least to the same degree other programs do). This is the most confident I've felt about our Non-con in a very long time. 

The reduction in timeouts probably just has CTC thinking "See?!?!?! I WAS RIGHT!!! I WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME!!! WHO NEEDS TIMEOUTS!?!?!"

Does anyone post a projected SoS this early? I imagine ours is pretty solid as of right now.

Can we refrain from using such dirty words as "S-3" and "Staff Time" on these boards? This is where I come to get away from those horrors! Ha!

Thank.
