    Jasper Johnson

    That possession is indeed indicative of how CBB has changed. Back in the 80s and 90s that “dribble, dribble, dribble and then just jack up a contested 25 footer” routine would get a player promptly benched. But now it’s so common that nobody blinks an eye. It’s like it’s just become accepted...

    NBA CATS: Cason Wallace - Fair or Foul?

    It’s gotten silly for the NBA to still be identifying its players by college in today’s transfer portal/mercenary era where most players now play for multiple different colleges. So I’ve no problem with them making a joke of it if they so choose.

    The Lakers cut Dalton Knecht to keep Bronny

    You got it wrong. I don’t hate LeBron. In fact, I’m a fan of him as a player. He’s unbelievable. I was just struck when I saw that Bronny survived yet another cut. I figured his dad leaving meant the end for him too. It might be different if he had EVER shown legit NBA promise, but he...

    The Lakers cut Dalton Knecht to keep Bronny

    Despite the facts that Bronny: 1) was awful in the pre-season; 2) has been awful his entire Laker career; 3) was an awful bench player even in college; 4) has never ever looked like a legit NBA player; and 5) his daddy is no longer a Laker. How does this make sense? It’s crazy how much...

    Update: making the case that UK should be ranked top 10

    This is not correct. Indiana only had one loss (to Ohio State) that year when they were “rewarded with a playoff spot”. They had an 11-1 regular season. Their second loss didn’t come until the playoffs, which was obviously after the playoff spots already had done been awarded. You’re...

    Update: making the case that UK should be ranked top 10

    it That’s a nice analysis. But really it’s silly to waste your time worrying about the AP rankings. They’re irrelevant, and nobody’s ever gonna remember what their rankings were in a mid-October week. The only rankings that actually matter are the CFP rankings, and they haven’t been...

    Uniforms for Vanderbilt game

    Yuck. Can we please stop trying to copy Oregon’s schtick with the constant changing of uniforms and logos every week? That may’ve seemed cool 15 years ago, but now it just comes across as lame and played out. We wore perfect home uniforms against LSU. It was finally a uniform that...

    Our road to the playoff.

    Yeah, our situation is actually very simple. And it’s not dependent on what anyone else does. If we only lose 1 of those five, we’re in. If we lose 2, we’re out. Period. We totally control our own destiny.

    Our road to the playoff.

    Last year’s Alabama team got in with three losses. But that’s only because one of those was in the SEC Championship game. They only lost two regular season games. And then the decision to invite Bama faced criticism after they totally looked like they didn’t belong in their 38-3 playoff...

    AP Preseason Poll Out

    I doubt many of today’s players really care about this. If they even know about our “past.” It ain’t like they’re old enough to actually remember our past glories. It’s a different breed of player today. They’re motivated by the money, not that other stuff that fans consider important.

    AP Preseason Poll Out

    But you used to be able to reliably make that assessment in past eras, because each team had a core group of returning players that you’d seen play together before. So you’d just look at who they added or lost from that core, and you could make a well educated guess as to whether they’ll be...

    AP Preseason Poll Out

    Meh. Means nothing right now. With so much mass roster turnover in this new era, and not yet having seen anyone play, I don’t how you could even begin to rank teams beyond the first three or four. They’re basically blindly throwing darts and just guessing.

    And in Jacksonville Fl!

    Why are you making it sound like they just had a lucky hot run in the tourney? That UF team was a 1 seed that went 36-4 against one of the toughest schedules in the country and in BY FAR the deepest and best SEC season in the conference’s entire history. That team was awesome all season long...

    Would you be satisfied with the Citrus Bowl?

    Yes. Especially if it’s one of the crappy.com bowls. That stuff now happens at every school. Even the players don’t wanna play in those lower tier bowls nowadays.

    Would you be satisfied with the Citrus Bowl?

    ALL bowls disconnected from the playoffs are essentially meaningless exhibitions nowadays …and this will especially be true now that the CFP is going to 24 teams. So I don’t think it really much matters. Yeah, the Citrus is now better than the other meaningless bowls, but nobody’s gonna...
