Magnanimous

Saying this terrible pun over and over is the only way I’ll learn to pronounce his name correctly by next season.

I’m not excited, but I’ve been wrong before.

Rich Rod, who was born in and played for West Virginia, leaving WVU for Michigan and then crawling back to them with open arms 18 years later proves this bozo completely wrong. They’ll take anyone.

The Big Wink It was a dark, humid night in western Florida. Magnanimous arrived at the airport in typical fashion. He carried on, no need for luggage where he was going. It had been a long weekend, the kind you don’t tell your mother about. The kind of nights that fly by but stay with you a while. His phone buzzed. Flight has been delayed. Damn, now what was he going to do? Kill some time he supposed. He made his way to the Florida Breeze, a regular joint for regular fellas. Barkeep passed him a shandy to kill the time. Not a dame in sight. His phone buzzed again. Another delay? Not this time. Just three words and an emoji that would make your spine chill on the warmest nights. “We got him ;)” said the source, listed in his contacts as Mr. Wink. We got him. He paused for a moment. Did this actually mean what he was hoping for? Mr. Wink knew what kind of information Magnanimous was waiting on. So he responded with “Brad or Ben?” A delay…buzz…”;)” Another pause. “So which one?”…”You’ll be happy either way, but I’m hearing it’s B”… “B? Who the hell is B?” Nothing. He asked again. Nothing still. Not delivered. Mr. Wink’s phone died after writing B. But B was enough because he knew what this meant. Indiana had got him. And whether it was Brad or Ben, BTownBanners needed to be told. So Magnanimous lived up to his username and flaunted his intel in front of everyone for three full days…

I’m a sucker for classic film noirs and that was just too much fun. This whole experience feels very Maltese Falcon-esque. Half this board is acting like Peter Lorre at the 2 min mark.

At least you pluralized one wins. I like the optimism!

Same. And I think unless he flames out at Iowa (if he even goes there), he’ll be replacing Self at Kansas in a few years.

He’ll be fine. But I wanted McCollum for no other reason than I found him four years ago and wanted to see it happen. The dream is dead. Back to the balcony for dear old Magnanimous. Btw, I made up the whole big wink bullsh!t because my flight was delayed four hours Saturday night. Thanks for entertaining me these last few days. I’ll ban myself now.

My biggest gripe with this hire, other than it wouldn’t have even happened if he made the tournament…is that I’ve been pronouncing his name as Devrys and not Devreeze.

Dolson has been at this for over a month. And our next coach is…the guy who 48 hours ago got screwed out of the NCAAT by the UNC AD, so he just happens to now be hanging around this week, then flies to Iowa and then gets hired by IU later that afternoon? Talk about some terrible fan fiction.
