Not a big hit at all!

They now have Justin Smith on board to ably fill-in for their much-needed long distance shooting needs.

Zags and Baylor agree to play a non conference game this year if there is a season. This would be one of the best non conference games of the year. Both should be in the preseason top 3

Here it comes. Wade might be the guy brazen enough to defend himself with something like, “We’ve been taking advantage of these kids forever. I couldn’t be a part of it anymore.They deserve to be paid. The rules are arcane. So I got them what they deserved. I won’t apologize for being an agent for justice.”

See, Will Wade is actually the Robin Hood of college sports. God, I loathe that guy.

Now the NCAA is officially involved in the election?  What a world.

I don’t think encouraging people to vote classified as involved in the election.

If telling student athletes, truck drivers, diner cooks, tax attorneys, police officers, ballerinas, or people that believe the little green men in the little green suits are coming to vote is becoming "involved in the election" ... then I guess that's what they're doing.

For me, telling people that the way to effect change in a democracy is to vote is pretty strong advice. Property isn't damaged, lives aren't lost, and democratic, peaceful, real change can happen. Who you wanna vote for? That's none of their business.

That’s not what is going on.  We won’t agree on any of it.  The whole thing is orchestrated.  Let’s have the media drive up the rage to maddening levels then let’s remind everyone, the only way to enact a change is to vote.  Get real.  
 

And if you want to believe the democratic ran government was any better towards African Americans, that’s another argument altogether.

If a comment about social responsibility and justice is representing and supporting a particular party then that’s a pretty damning admission in itself

Another force fed narrative that so many believe, it becomes truth without any validation.  

If the coronavirus reaction and shutting down the economy wasn’t enough, maybe this will help.

The one take away I thought was interesting is it almost felt like he was telling kids if they want to peacefully protest they can.  I assume he knows kids will take that as they can during games.

Here’s to hoping we get college basketball this year!
