Way to stigmatize that word. I can see you're all sorts of ****ed up internally.
I'm not sure you're following your own conversations.
I didn't say anything about your political affiliation, so I'm not sure how I'm the one you're calling a bigot. I just replied to your response to someone else's comments about your political affiliation.
That said, stereotyping POLITICAL beliefs based on POLITICAL affiliation is not exactly bigotry. It's a bit like assuming you like Rutgers based on the fact you populate a Rutgers board.
Assuming all Republicans are the only ones who have a problem with what geo Baker said is bigotry. I've posted the definition multiple times. Go read it.
I'm sorry if you are too slow (is that better, dumbass) for not understanding at all what I was saying, then using an erroneous analogy to try to make your point.
But I'm sorry for starting with you. I do not think it is cool to make fun of people like you.
1) I didn't say that though.
2) I wouldn't care if my belief was "bigoted" if it were correct.
3) There is definitely a correlation between US political party preference and thoughts on Geo's tweets, but the coefficient is not 1.
Yes I must have something wrong with me because I do not think like you. That is a healthy response. And everyone who agrees with this certain take on a basketball player must be affiliated with this group that you obviously hate.
I pray for the sons or daughters you will one day teach that they become good people. They will need a lot of help along the way.
#2 is what's wrong with this country, that you think that's ok. I feel so sorry for you.
You show me the data for #3. Because it's based on nothing.
Regarding #2, facts don't care about your feelings bro.
#3 I think is fairly clear based on the posters in the various threads but I obviously haven't done an academic study on it. I'm not sure why you would even find this offensive though? There is obviously a ton of correlation between political party and thoughts on many issues, why would this be any different?
Oh I don't care what you think. I'm simply saying you're a bigot with that attitude. And I'm simply embarrassed that my school produced someone like you.
I know you're a troll and I respect the troll game, but I'm seriously not sure what attitude you are even trying to goad me with here.
I honestly have no idea how this even turned political.
No point I made about Geo had anything to do with politics.
I actually think they should receive some kind of yearly stipend, so I don’t even really disagree with him. Like I said his timing was complete trash and because of that, I view him as a distraction.
I’ll even go as far to say I doubt Pike wants him back next season.
You are another Republican who hates that Geo has his own thoughts. You also think he should just shut up and dribble, as if that is all he is good for. I pray you teach your kids the negatives of being closed minded.
But I'm sorry for comparing your intelligence to that of a person with Downs Syndrome.
That was completely unfair to them.
You're either punking us, or just clueless when it comes to sports if you think someone who came to Rutgers as a lightly regarded and lightly recruited freshman and by his senior year became Rutgers' first ever preseason All-Big Ten team selection....and was a major reason why we made our first Big Dance in 30 years, and won our first tourney game in 38 years.....but yet he "didn't get better at all."
The stupidity is mind numbing in your post.
Hmmmm...I wonder who helped throw a grenade into the current political climate you and others on stimulants refer to as polarizing, all over American society from the NFL to hating on war heros, for the past 4 years...who could it be who has stimulated this...
+1
I will admit, he has taken me out of my comfort zone - where (I), in the past, wouldn't really expect to hear from players off the court - but, being a leader for change can't be easy - and i think he has done some things in truly uncharted territory - and done them in a way we can (and should) admire.
Senior year working down towards freshman year stats. Sorry to prove you wrong so easily. Just look up the stats next time before you insult people online and you won't put yourself in an embarrassing situation.

Ditto. Pike (more than) probably wouldn't go hard after a stud guard to lead the team. It would be Geo's again and I think he hit his high and went backwards a bit starting last year. Maybe that was the JY thing, maybe not. The inconsistency drives me bananas. But if he does that's up to them. I'll root for the team regardless of who is wearing the Jersey.
For the need to know crowd...I'm an unregistered right leaning older guy. I'm white and overweight. I still have my hair and its still pretty dark brown. And while I didn't like the timing of the tweets I totally respected his right to do so and I am quite impressed with his leadership on the subject and his ability to get a meeting with such top decision makers on it. I wish him and the group well in their efforts to get this figured out. Frankly, I wish he showed such leadership with the team. If he did I didn't see it. But maybe he gets this NIL resolved and it fires him up and he has a killer year? who knows.

I started this thread and just circled back. I’m speechless from what it’s become. I personally hate politics - you’ll never see me post a political view on a sports forum.
That said, for a university where the sports program has been in a constant tug of war with academia and the professors practically since inception - anyone who can’t see how positive any outcome involving our major sport athletes leading the charge to work with national and state politicians to facilitate changes that they believe strongly in (even if you don’t agree with or have reservations about what they are advocating for) is crazy. That outcome would be a huge plus for the program with a ton of positive exposure all next season if Geo and MJ return.

From his freshman year, I see a player who has improved his field-goal percentage, a player who has improved his rebounding, a player who has improved his assists, and he’s also working on a team with players in which he doesn’t have to do as much as he did in previous years. Oh, and to boot, he did it this year after suffering a really bad injury that knocked him out of half a dozen games, and took several more more games once he did return before he was 100 percent healthy.
So thanks for providing those stats. I always find it insane when people use stats that clearly show they don’t know what they’re talking about. Now answer me this. How does someone who hasn’t improved get named to the league’s preseason All Big 10 team the next year, genius?
I’m sure you know a whole hell of a lot more than all of the coaches and media who selected him.

Question for you and Flux. How is somebody saying they think Fauci is a fraud and untrustworthy a political statement? Are you referring to those links that I can't see or just his statement itself? What does a disagreement with a perceived Medical expert have to do with politics?

Sorry, you're cherry picking and even two of the categories you selected to highlight show the opposite of what you say. You're just comparing frosh # to Sr. #.
Overall shooting % did go up but 3pt went way down.
Rebounding was flat from 3.1 to 3.0 to 3.1. Assist went down from .5 to .6 to .4
And the question should be how does somebody who gets named pre-season all B1G wind up Honorable Mention? The experts made that call.
Time for Geo to move on, and take the side show with him, same goes for Myles. Let the big O era begin. Young is the only player that I would want back
It is pretty remarkable how flat those numbers are over his time here. Of course he had fewer assists his first year when Sanders was running the show. That is one reason his 3P% was higher then, too: he was not the main focus of opposing defenses or forced to shoot with a dwindling shot clock, as he often did over the last two years especially. Other than that, his performance over the last three years is basically flat. The dip in assists and reduced turnovers after his sophomore year are connected to JY having the ball a lot more IMO.
What if the opinion is, its not a good cause? Have you studied the issue? What are the implications and ramifications for all sports? How does this impact the equality of all college athletes? Were you a college athlete? Do you know how college athletes get treated? Do you know the perks they get? My guess is you haven’t studied the issue therefore you would be making some assumptions.
You're just flat out wrong, dude. I don't know what else to say. Ed said Geo hasn't improved AT ALL from his freshman year. Those were his words. That is the argument he is trying to make, not me.
If Ed wants to use stats to show that Geo hasn't improved from his freshman year, then, I'll use the exact same stats to show where the improvement was, and why Ed is full of it.
Geo's freshman year his field goal percentage was 38.6 percent
Geo's senior year his field goal percentage was 40.9 percent
IMPROVEMENT
Geo's freshman year he averaged 2.6 assists per game.
Geo's senior year he averaged 3.2 assists per game
IMPROVEMENT
Geo's freshman year he averaged 2.2 rebounds per game.
Geo's senior year he averaged 3.1 rebounds per game
IMPROVEMENT
So he has clearly improved from his freshman year, and he did all that on a gimpy leg for a quarter of this season. Who know how much better his stats would have been this year... if he played healthy in all games, rather than hobbled and unable to elevate at all when he returned to play.
Regarding 3-point shooting....that is a part of overall field goal percentage, is it not? Yup, it is.
So you picking out his lower 3 point shooting from his overall improved field goal percentage is the textbook definition of cherry-picking.
Ed said he didn't improve AT ALL from his freshman year.
I just proved him wrong.
And you ask how does he only wind up honorable mention after being named preseason first team?
Are you not acknowledging at all he had a bad ankle injury that knocked him out of 3 1/2 half games (and then several more before he was fully recovered)?
Are you not acknowledging that even being named honorable mention Big Ten is improvement from freshman and sophomore years when he didn't make any preseason lists?
Come on, man. Get real.
You're on drugs "bro"...your arrogance continues to ooze through the keyboard and you're oblivious. Your boy rambled on for months about rampant election fraud, losing in courts idk, 60 something losses to one technical win, as states go through the long process of certification, red and blue together. What did it all lead to? Jan. 6th. That's the fall guy, wake up goon.

Lol, right. From 2016-2020 the media didnt change their tune and bias’ from 2008-2016, righttttt. Again, people like you and your bias’ are the issue. You live in an echo chamber
Shocked this thread hasn't been locked yet.
Concerning Geo, I hope he & Myles come back. We'll need their leadership & experience. Not quite sure our defense & ball handling will be as good without them. Maybe I just want that security blanket & the team could do as well or even better, but from the beginning of the season & the 'free' year, I had hoped we'd get another year out of both of them.

You can't quantify defense. If Geo has improved over his 4 years it is slight at best. I saw a regression in defense (which we can't quantify). I think his motor was down a horsepower too.
(note I imbedded a couple of comments in your reply) IF the argument is solely about improving from Frosh year then I won't disagree with that. He did. My position is that he hit his overall peak in his Soph. year and then in several ways went backwards or stayed the same.
My wife coined the description of "sporadically spectacular" to describe him.
When he's on he's on. When he's not he's not. And even within games or even halves he can be remarkably great and remarkably careless.
His ankle had nothing to do with his play down the stretch or even 2nd half of season and he was still the same player.
Appreciate your response and reasonable tone.
Ok we'll listen to you as the voice of reason given that you're a self-made success story out of the log cabins of north jersey or whatever it was. Let's hear a little more about how you bag chicks, drink beers, and generally bro out all while buying up real estate in Indiana or whatever. Dude has all the answers.
The media is biased!! It has been forever. The media did not change their bias they changed their position when the party they support won or lost. Based upon your age I am sure you missed it with the transition from Bush to Obama and maybe even from Obama to Trump but it happens every cycle.
The media as a whole has not changed. What you are seeing is the position media outlets take has changed. CNN and MSNBC have taken a less attacking position now that Biden is in office. Fox and Sportsmax are on the attack about everything. The opposite was true when Trump was in power. The fact that all you see is a huge shift is nothing more than self-identification that you do not seek information from a wide perspective but rather from a narrow point of view. Nobody is surprised by this.

Lol, i dont watch tv pal. However, I see the talking point that their talking heads spew on social media. They are propaganda.
Factually speaking I would say my top news sources are, Krystal and Sagaar with The Hill (left leaning), bari weiss’ substack (left leaning), andrew sullivans substack (classic liberal has some conservative views despite loathing trump), glenn greenwald’s substack (centrist) and ben shapiro (conservative). People like me seek out real news, not the propoganda polluting your minds on tv
I will disagree that his ankle had nothing to do with his play down the stretch. He was simply not the same player, post ankle injury as he was pre-injury. Not as athletic or explosive. Probably lost confidence in himself to do things he was doing more regularly in his junior year.
Otherwise, I will agree that he peaked his junior year...but I do contend that his injury absolutely played a part in that.
Got it. You don't watch the shows you know are increasingly biased because of their tweets.
