    When you got all that sweet settlement money in your pocket, it's hard to know where to spend it all!

    Spencer Ejected!

    I'm not a fan of Lebron, but his accomplishments speak for themselves. And the irrational hatred the guy provokes is awe-inspiring.

    Spencer Ejected!

    The Lakers didn't have to sign Bronny if they didn't want to. They made the calculation that the signing improved their chances overall (and that's not limited to just how the last man off the bench might help the squad on the court.) Almost all professional athletes are arrogant as all get out...

    ARRINTEN PAGE IS A ‘CAT!

    If only that were the magic way that production grows. Given the history of this stuff, we'll be really thrilled if he plays the kinds of minutes load that Nicholbomb played this last year...which would be a 2,450,000,000% increase. 🤣

    ARRINTEN PAGE IS A ‘CAT!

    Yeah...I was just kind of going by Nicholson's minutes last season. I assume most would consider him the starter last year. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø 22 minutes a game would be a 250% increase over Page's minutes last year, so I'd be thrilled if he was able to handle that amount.

    ARRINTEN PAGE IS A ‘CAT!

    I would agree with your first sentence for any position other than the 5. It's really rare for big men to be polished right out of high school and really common for them to take three+ years to develop into rotation guys. That's why I have been so skeptical about having a skinny 3-star frosh as...

    Fitz Suing NU Trial

    You lose all credibility in your post by attributing "I know nothing" to Colonel Klink. If you get that wrong, I don't see how anyone can trust the accuracy of anything else you say. 🤣

    Does Northwestern Qualify for the NCAA Tourney with a Winning Record?

    I'm a little surprised with Ohio State beating both Kentucky and Texas in actual games that they didn't get in ahead of Texas, particularly since they have a higher KP rating as well.

    Talent is there

    I don't think it is particularly rosy to say you think the team will be as competitive as this year given that a bottom half of the league finish seems in the cards for this year. I suspect next year's team will be wildly inconsistent. There is talent coming in, but the talent isn't the...

    Andy Katz. Knowledge. Rumor or Just Pro Collins

    There are no certainties in life, but I am 100% certain that Chris Collins will not be the next coach at Indiana. There are a million reasons for this, but the first is that I don't think Collins has much interest in that job.

    Leach Flagrant II: The number of ways we get jobbed is mind-blowing

    You are entirely correct. The jumping two-hand cross-court pass can be made with force because of core contraction, which naturally causes leg kick because there is no foundation to leverage off of. It's much different than taking a 3-point shot, which is elbow and wrist action that doesn't...

    Leach Flagrant II: The number of ways we get jobbed is mind-blowing

    Cats were 0-8 from the field with 2 turnovers in the last 3 minutes of regulation and in overtime. The call against Leach was tough as it seems pretty obvious it wasn't intentional, but the opportunity to win the game was there. Good teams find ways to overcome adversity and win those games...

    Brendan Sullivan CHOKE JOB at the Music City Bowl

    He's 22 and has the opportunity to grow up. Not sure the same can be said about his critics.

    Brendan Sullivan CHOKE JOB at the Music City Bowl

    I'll never understand the desire in some to belittle people, especially a person they've never met. Ultimately says more about the belittler than the belittle-ee.
