WING is an awesome call sign

Oh, yes!  Especially, as you surely knew, in Dayton.  

That is because of the Wright Brothers' warped wing concept to turn and control their Flyers.  Quite a story that.

There is a brewery, here, named Warped Wing.  And a Toxic Brewery.  Oh, and Hairless Hare.  The Carillon Brewing Company...reproducing historical beer & European comfort-food recipes, with staff in period costume...located in an historical park that houses the original 1905 Wright Flyer III. Right next to the University of Dayton...whose basketball team is the Flyers.  And....

This shouldn’t be controversial. They have a ‘25 lottery pick(Newell) who doesn’t start. 

 I would definitely love to see Montverde vs the Las Vegas Aces.. would be fun to watch. I think there would be some intensity with the WNBA players wanting to prove something.

It's the age-old question which has been vetted best in tennis. 

For instance, in 1998, world #203 men's player Karsten Braasch played a round of golf in the morning, had two beers at lunch, and that afternoon beat Serena Williams 6-1. Later that same afternoon, he beat Venus WiIlliams 6-2. At the end of the day, he said that he played 'down' to keep the matches 'fun'.

Just like a bad NBA team would crush Duke or UConn, Montverde would absolutely destroy the Las Vegas Aces. If Montverde played with full effort it would be ridiculous. And if the women used the larger men's ball, it would be that much more ridiculous.

But, Billie Jean King beat.......oh, never mind.

5 mins in they’d have to go to a running clock.

It'd be a beat down. But I'd still want to watch. Let's do a WNBA All-Star team. I wish I could have seen Grinder vs a prime Boogie Cousins back when she said she could beat him. Totally need to see this on TV.

Would it get ESPN to stop shoving the WNBA down our throats? I'd watch a 7-game series (so uh...4 games) if that's what it took to get them to stop.

USWNT got smoked by a u17 team if I recall correctly

u14 is what I was seeing in the comments on a video this morning

[go iu bb]

I saw the women's soccer team lost to a U15 boys team. I don't know about the basketball team.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

So does McNeely start at the 2? Maybe we can have Montverde play Iowa women's first. Knock Clark down a peg.

[rcbowla]

Are there actually people that believe the Aces could beat MVA boys? I mean sincerely believe it?

Good slate of games tonight 

North Dakota St/UC Davis get the day started at 4 on ESPN +.  
 champions classic probably games of the night but I’m looking forward to Iowa/Creighton the most

I guarantee there are people that do. I guarantee the WNBA players would say(probably not believe it). I mean I've seen videos of people interviewed outside of WNBA games saying Breanna Stewart would beat Trae Young 1v1(I think it was Stewart but can't remember exactly). There are WNBA fans who have convinced themselves that WNBA players and NBA players are equals.

McNeeley is likely a 3 for us.  I wonder if Mgbako doesn’t track and he stays for a second year if they slide McNeeley to a 2.

 

McNeeley does play the 2 at Montverde.  Givens, McNeeley, Flagg, Newell, Queen.

This is just flat out ridiculous.

Howard transfer forward Seth Towns has been cleared by the NCAA for his 8th season of college hoops. Towns has been in college since 2016 and earned 2 degrees thus far.

FWIW, the 2022-23 season listed as DNP he stepped away from the program altogether.  But yeah, very strange grant of an extra year given those they've turned down.  

For reference, Ali Patberg had as long of a college career as I've seen:

• 2015-16 Notre Dame  (injured)
• 2016-17 Notre Dame
• 2017-18 transfer to Indiana (had to sit out)
• 2018-19 Indiana
• 2019-20 Indiana
• 2020-21 Indiana
• 2021-22 Indiana (extra covid year)

The Trey Woodbury decision was the one that still baffles me.
