I didn't study it with my microscope. I probably could have if I tried

what is that cougar in Texas? Doesn't look like Houston

3 weeks ago I was there at noon and it was a 20 minute wait. The pizza was great. Went with people who don't love Sally's as I do and they said they couldn't stop eating the pizza. We had to order a new large as we sat.

Yes, also, there are 4 ACC schools within 1 hour of each other, and you're complaining about one school that's between you and Syracuse 5 hrs away

You're totally clueless on this. You just stuck your head in the sand. There have been tomes written on this in the media. UNC even ridiculed BC for it's entire stance.

Well, they are not market-based professional teams, in the sense that their finances are subsidized. So, I would say they are still mostly state-subsidized entities. Let them go fully pro and share the money 50/50 like the NFL does.

Just go pro! Last weekend, I had a conversation with someone on these matters who has some influence in admin and sports at Purdue. He is entirely certain that IF the whole thing went pro they would still draw the viewership and fans needed to sustain it in the midwest (which by default means...

Just saw him play in Triple A 2 nights ago.

Okafor had 3 years. So it would've been one more year for Clingan. Is Clingan NPOY last year?

Okafor was both a defensive and offensive force, so it's got to be him. Thabeet was purely defensive. Clingan was 80% a defensive force. Sanogo was more offense. 1. Emeka Okafor 2A. Donovan Clingan 2B. Hasheem Thabeet 4. Cliff Robinson 5A. Adama Sanogo 5B. Corny Thompson (if you consider him a...

Get Adama on the phone ASAP.

Thanks. When I looked it up, the FIBA website said that in order to qualify for the BCL, teams must win their league or else be in the qualifying top group. Which is similar to soccer. It's confusing to think EuroLeague is outside the structure of the governing body.
