    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    Ben Simmons thing does come up frequently. But more so as a shot at BS and not LSU. "Even in college BS wasn't a winning player and missed the tournament." The rest of those are poor examples as none of those players were nearly as good immediately in the NBA as Dylan or even Ace. Let alone the...

    Knicks fans: root for knicks or Dylan?

    Got it! Agreed! I thought you were implying the opposite. I couldn't care less where players went once in the big leagues. If the Nets were playing a team starting RHJ, Dylan, Ace, Geo and Caleb , I'd be rooting for a 30pt Nets win.

    Knicks fans: root for knicks or Dylan?

    Not sure what you mean. Its should be an easy root for Dylan over the Knicks? In the 2020 bubble playoffs the Lakers played the Rockets. All the Lakers/USC fans rooted for the Rockets and James Harden? Instead of the Lakers? I find that hard to believe.

    Football Big Ten Conference discussing $2 billion private capital deal

    One problem I've come across - we live in a small town. Rec baseball ends at 2nd grade. Rec softball is non existent. Even travel - we have 1 team for most ages. Not to brag - but my daughter at 9 could probably play on our lower 12U team. At least hold her own. I think its a NJ problem...

    Football Big Ten Conference discussing $2 billion private capital deal

    How dare you. I represent that comment! My son had some bad swings in his tournament last weekend. My wife immediately asked "when was the last time he had some one on one lessons?" Note - he does a 2hr group session once a week with his club team. As I said above - we are the problem. And we...

    Football Big Ten Conference discussing $2 billion private capital deal

    Unstructured play time = wiffle ball and playing catch or kicking a soccer ball Usually in the house 🙄 I walked in on my daughter (9yo) put on her catcher shin guards last night and was catching/blocking against a net in the house. It never stops.

    Football Big Ten Conference discussing $2 billion private capital deal

    Because my kids want to. And we can. Keeps them off screens. People say "Dont force them to play". I'd love it if they didnt want to play as much. People also say "Let them play all the sports. Dont specialize." My kids have zero interest in other sports. Football, basketball, lacrosse...

    Football Big Ten Conference discussing $2 billion private capital deal

    You are 100% correct. Plus all the training and hours. Note - my 10U son has 4 baseball bats and literally has practice/games 7 days a week (2 baseball teams plus 1 soccer team). And my 9U daughter got a $400 softball bat for Xmas. My wife and I fully understand we are 100% part of the...

    Football Big Ten Conference discussing $2 billion private capital deal

    Seems this was an expected outcome. They being "fired" from the AD and being rehired as employees of the private company. There would be no need for PE money if the ADs had some semblance of fiscal responsibility. But the fans don't want fiscal responsibility. So who is really at fault?

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    Also, the focus on surrounding Dylan and Ace with ball dominant, isolation players (Derkack, JWill, Grant, Davis) instead of shooters to space the floor. The fact so many were adamant JWill was going to work next to Dylan was beyond amusing. But that's an ongoing Pike problem - regardless of...

    Guess the rotation

    "The roster is much improved. The transfers really raise the talent level of the team." "Oh we definitely have to play Mark, Davis and Buchannon big minutes though. Powers needs a role." I was waiting for this thread and it didnt disappoint. Mark may not have returned for a small bench role...

    OT: Bipartisan NIL Bill Introduced

    Are freshman allowed to be RAs? Or does the University restrict freshman from earning money? As a University, I would use the same thought to restrict the transfers from being athletes (earning money).

    OT: Bipartisan NIL Bill Introduced

    One note on the "transfer restriction". There isn't any restriction on transfers. Just like every student, football players can transfer as many times as they want. The restriction is on the participation in athletics. The argument "regular students can transfer all they want" doesn't work...

    NCAA Denies Brendan Sorsby Appeal for Reinstatement

    Your looking at wrong. If you get diagnosed with a learning disability in 7th grade - does that mean you didn't have the disability in 3rd grade? I would guess if you asked about alcoholic if they were an alcoholic they would say "I was one my whole life. Even though I didnt acknowledge it."...
