We have a legit shot to win all of these games. I want to go with what I’m used to and say we win either 0 or 1, but that doesn’t fit the narrative I have in my head for how this season should go. I’m going to say we win 2 or 3 and we have the season we’ve all been dying for. Let’s just run...

I didn’t take your comment that way at all. Just saying, Newton was a quiet killer.

We would have been every bit as bad in football as we turned out to be and basketball wouldn’t have had near the resurgence we’ve seen. We are in a far better position for the B12 now than we were then.

One of Newton’s charms is his quiet disposition. The constant smile with killer instincts. Great kid.

Ah. My bad. I was told by a factory rep in Home Depot that they were all manufactured by the same people. He said Milwaukee was superior and Ryobi and Dewalt were about the same these days. Now I think he may have told me that to encourage a purchase of either Ryobi (cheaper) or Milwaukee...

Ryobi, Dewalt and Milwaukee are all made by one company. Milwaukee is a little higher end. There is no longer much of any quality difference between Ryobi and Dewalt. Buy a nice set of cordless Ryobi tools at Home Depot and buy a big hand tool set at Costco. That will solve most problems. In...

Debatable, but Marquette should probably be on there in the last few.

5 iron, 7 iron, putter. It’s really about what clubs you feel best with. If you only have 3 clubs, use the ones you hit high and straight, then add a putter. I chose a 5 iron because I tend to hit clubs with more loft much more consistently. I think my 5 might end up averaging out better...

This is why winning is so brutally important. When these things come to pass they need to be looking at our populated and well located market, two blue blood basketball programs AND a solid football program. The first two things don't matter if we can't show a solid football foundation. If we...

I could see hybrid happening again if it works for self preservation. All that matters is the money and the access. It’s unlikely, but a scenario where the ACC leftovers (including us in there) need basketball strength and pull in Nova and Georgetown or SJU is possible. Maybe 2-4 good bball...

Good post. However, the more I think about it, the answer to this question is Sanogo. He was a machine, completely reliable, could score at will, make the three and hit free throws under pressure. He was the man among these 3. We may have loved the other two and they brought a lot to the...

We talkin pizza man.

I like this thread. There's a lot more to it than pizza. People discuss their travel plans, the atmosphere in these places, events that led them there etc. DIscussing our pizza likes and dislikes reveals a lot of other stuff. I've learned a lot from it and I've tried some of the places...

Any chance that LeBron is just talking this up in order to pressure the NBA to get him a franchise? Seems like a dumb idea.

That league will hurt basketball. It needs to be a stronger combo than that, and I think it will be. In our region, the old Big East schools with some combo of basketball only schools is ideal. I know people don’t like the hybrid but having Cuse, BC etc. back and taking Nova, SJU, Georgetown...
