Quote from: Dish on December 15, 2025, 07:39:09 PMThere had to be a lot of witnesses at Conan's party. Be curious to hear what eventually is said about what occurred there.

Won't hear much is my guess. Discreet from the street as they say (well in Palm Springs anyway).

Quote from: MuggsyB on December 15, 2025, 08:50:15 PMI hate to admit it, but Whisky is good.  I believe it's Mimi Colyer that unloads on her spikes with zero mercy?  And their setter is very, very, solid. 

So good. Yeah, big fan of the UW setter, California kid, I believe who is working through a shoulder injury. They are fun to watch, which pains my soul to say 😂

I think I'm watching for development. That includes beating Georgetown at home. Looking incompetent again would be frustrating to see.  Want to see improvement.

The bolded confuses me. It would take something on order of a 16-win conference season for MU to secure an at-large bid, and this seems to suggest that outcome is much more likely than the team getting on a four-game hot streak and winning the BE tournament.

How are people feeling about our first conference game against Georgetown?

I think their identity is emerging pretty fast. 

Quote from: CountryRoads on December 15, 2025, 01:50:21 PMGreat article. My favorite quotes:

1. "This team needs a 5 in the worst way, and even a poor one would be an upgrade."

2. "People don't need self-flagellation after every loss, but simply verbalizing that the performance doesn't meet our standards makes a huge difference."

On point #2, I usually attend at least 10 games a year, home and road. I'm not going to another game until this happens. I've been so off put by pretty much everything about this season and how Shaka has acted and his in game decisions, so it likely won't be this year anyway. People mock those who think Shaka owes the fans anything and maybe he doesn't, but enjoy the empty Fiserv this year I guess.

Less games per year (about 4 per year from about a 3-hour drive away), but same concept. Plus the big bump in tickets prices doesn't help.

Quote from: The Equalizer on December 15, 2025, 07:11:48 PMNo, but it does mean Shaka didn't find these guys in HS. 

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on December 15, 2025, 08:16:19 PMno, it wasn't about lack of improvement. My concern is Shaka's poor evaluation of HS guys and their ceiling for development being rather low compared to the transfers and Wojo guys.

I'd suggest you guys take a look at Oso's final 3 schools and then where Shaka coached before he came to MU. I'm not saying your wrong in the overall point but use the examples that actually prove it.

unsold stock? I'm sure RGV swag would be happily worn by crews on those Indian Ocean pirate boats. Drop off a load at St Vinny, hey

Well, we have to look up - that's where our competitors are.
