    GAMES OF INTEREST (1.21.25 - 1.25.25) EAST CAROLINA

    ... And there it is. Was wondering if anyone would come in and reaffirm his decision to stay away. Loca, hope you come back whenever you feel like it. And don't forget there is an "ignore" option.

    GAMES OF INTEREST (1.21.25 - 1.25.25) EAST CAROLINA

    I don't post super often, but I always enjoy reading your GOI threads. But by all means take a step back if it is stressing you out. Like you say, it's just a game and it isn't worth it if it isn't fun.

    Another NIL causality

    Yeah, I can't blame top athletes for chasing after an extra $50k. They may not get opportunities like that ever again. I don't like the system NIL has created, but I would totally change schools in their shoes for $$$. Even if I was being groomed for the NBA, an injury could derail that...

    KJ Martin to TU this month?

    Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen that before. I assume you would you burn a year of eligibility? If so, why would you want to graduate early and play a half season? Maybe if that team looked good enough to make a special run in the tourney, but outside that I don't really understand...

    Georgia State 1:30 PM Official Thread

    Yeah, okay. But at least a few people have been saying that all along. Season 1 was a canary in a coal mine to a lot of people. Sure, inherited players and a mess of a program, and every other excuse in the book. I was willing to admit that it was possible that virtually nobody could have...

    Georgia State 1:30 PM Official Thread

    I've been kinda tuned out this season thus far. But wow, dougheffking admitting that Konkol is not the second coming of John Wooden. It wasn't too terribly long ago that you labeled anyone who even questioned Konkol's ability as a coach an idiot who didn't know all the inside machinations and...

    2024 Transfer Portal

    I don't disagree. But I'm willing to cut public figures a lot of slack when they are clearly doing something personal in public and don't want to engage. It's Gragg, and maybe (probably) that was how he always was. But if I had to pick one area for an AD to be absolutely lousy at, grocery...

    2024 Transfer Portal

    I mean, one the one hand, he is snubbing a fan and I get that an AD has to maintain positive relations with potential donors and fans. It's part of the job. On the other, dude is just trying to get his grocery shopping done and might just hate random small talk with strangers when he is in...

    2024 Transfer Portal

    I don't know about how it generally works, but I knew a guy in college and another that I was a TA for in grad school that were a former minor leaguers. Both got drafted and went straight to the minors after high school, played a few years, and then washed out like 90% of them do. I talked...

    Wichita State game thread

    This you? And this: I love the enthusiasm and wouldn't usually call anyone out for being a bit too rosy, but considering you've called a number of posters idiots and morons for disagreeing, and have generally been argumentative when people post what turned out to be pretty good assessments, I...

    South Florida game thread

    5 wins last year. I keep reminding myself. That's about as low as it gets for a program that is actually trying, so for sure we should temper expectations. This year is a big step in the right direction. But there are, and have been, legitimate questions about the ability of this staff to...

    SC State game thread

    First game I've been able to watch this year. Thoughts thus far: I doubted Konkol, but this is exciting basketball. SC State is not good, but we used to play to the level of competition instead of beating them soundly. We've gotten a bit sloppier in the second half, but haven't let them...

    Exhibition Schedule and Media Days

    So.... UNM? <Checks schedule> Wow. Okay. Western NM is DII. NNMC is NAIA. They are missing Highlands this year, and they do usually play Highlands. Highlands is DII. I wonder if there is still time to get NM Tech's club basketball team on the schedule.

    Transfer portal 2023

    Me either. Unless we are talking about a next level X's and O's zen master (Kevin Stallings comes to mind), I am not very adept at watching a team and analyzing the brilliance (or lack thereof) of X's and O's playcalling. If a play fails and the set shot isn't open, it's hard for me to tell...

    Transfer portal 2023

    I am enthused by the recruiting class. I have no idea how they will gel together, or if we will have a winning season. But to put that in perspective, if we were returning most of the same players there would be no doubt: Losing 20 games. So uncertainty is a huge improvement from a very low...
