Agree with this.

Sounds like you're old. I would know because these are the type of things I think about too.

He had a turnover???

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is what does a lot of coaches in. You can be good at the "X's and O's" part of the game, but if you don't know how to build and manage the program, you will never get sustained growth or success.

Wow, end of the season is brutal. Definitely the potential to lose the last 4.

Let the record state that I, for one, have changed my socks more than eleven times this season.

Yes - exactly!

The announcers said that Michigan got a quad 1 win by beating us. That surprised me a little. Is that just because we were at home?

I almost wrote something very similar to this earlier. Really, in the NBA, his body is really more of a small forward. That's not great when you can't shoot. I really wonder why Woodson won't try Durr along side him. Heck, Durr can hit mid-range jumpers enough to pull the bigs away from the basket a little.

Don't understand why we keep going with the guys who are digging the hole. It's like Woody refuses to change that lineup. Reminds me of a former coach...

I certainly hope not, but it takes more than a year in many cases. Old habits die hard.

I don't have a problem with it. At one time, maybe I would have, but those days have long since passed. We aren't who we used to be. My only comment is that it doesn't make sense to keep calling them "little brother" when we act like it's our biggest win of the year.

I started thinking about the Black Sox. It was so bad, At times you had to wonder if they were trying to throw the game.

I think most of us know where we are. This team has the potential to be pretty good, but it has a lot of holes. When we play well we are thinking, hey, maybe we've figured something out. But then a loss reminds us we are still the same team we knew we were. Sometimes it's frustrating. All in all, I think most of us are looking for improvement over the course of the season. It's also much tougher when they play a really good half and then crap all over the court the next half. Personally, I slept pretty well last night, but I remember the days when I would replay the whole game in my head and lose hours of sleep. I think what has transpired over the last couple years has really made me think about my sports consumption. I definitely don't plan my weekends around sports like I used to. It's been good for me, but everyone has their own path. I got off of twitter and the others a couple years ago. This is where I go for my social media fix.

I don't have one of those fancy Stu machines either. My wife has a strict rule about what I'm allowed to add to the kitchen counter. There's a whole authorization procedure that has to be pre-approved and then can be immediately revoked if I add something in the garage. It's pretty oppressive at our place. I have a French press and aeropress mostly because my wife and I have much different taste in coffee. If I try to make it so that it is on the bottom end of my strength threshold, it has exceeded the top end of hers. I love a good cup of strong black coffee, as long as it has good flavor. I've honestly never really tried expresso.

Does he have 1 or 2 years left?

Do you store it in the fridge/freezer?

Stu, what is your favorite blend from La Vela? I'm going to try it.

I used to think I was a bit of a coffee snob, but I feel downright pedestrian after reading this thread!

I know - just wishful thinking.

So... Galloway will be the difference?

Totally agree with this. These guys are both limited in what they can do, so the only way to accentuate their strengths is to run plays to set those up.

I haven’t been impressed with Reich all year. He is so uneven. I’m not a Wentz fan either, but I will say the line wasn’t giving him much time to throw. The pass protection was horrendous. Having said that, Reich doesn’t seem to ever want to step on the throat when he gets a lead and always goes super conservative. I agree that he has cost this team 2-3 wins this year.

I like the way you think. I'm sure there's a job in the government somewhere for you... Only took you seven steps to get there too!

I think he CAN be that guy eventually. I thought he looked like a freshman last night. Having said that, he is our most versatile guard. He just needs some more experience.
