Going Positive or trying to be Positive.
We have Sheek he is awesome. Alex is above average for a college player.
Sheek in for Ben and Alex in for Chase.
We have Nigel and Royce. Adrien looks  impressive and maybe Damarious and Michael.
We have some other rotational players.
We need 3 Transfers at a minimum 2 Transfers.

Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 07:48:46 PMBorder Collies are super smart my friend.  I believe we are inordinately arrogant as humans about our value to the world and overall intelligence.  Whale excrement sustains our oceans as an example.  We're talking about an extraordinary species.  Humans are considered the most intelligent species but that doesn't erase all of our damage to other animals and the world.  You're right, dogs are dogs, cats are cats, elephants are elephants, bears are bears, etc, etc, etc.  They may not be as smart as us, but they don't have evil members who cause extreme chaos and ruthlessly do unconscionable things.  The animal kingdom can of course be cutthroat, but they're not genocidal scumbags.  I will continue to root for the non-human animal kingdom.  We are beyond blessed to have dogs and cats to help us. 

Specifically, I was making two points. 1) Imagining that animals and humans think and see the world the same way as we do is laughable. Anthromorphism  permeates many of your posts regarding animals. 2) Humans typically measure the intelligence of animals by how well they serve our needs, respond to our training demands, act the way we want them to act. So much of this alleged intelligence is prewired into their brains. All we do is mold it to our needs.

I love animals but I also understand that they are what they are, different species with behaviors developed over thousands of years. Let's talk again when you can give me examples of animals that have developed (or destroyed) civilizations, built hospitals, written books, and discovered scientific principles. Then we can discuss how much they are just like us.

I anticipated a loss today too... but I'm feeling better about the team with 9 regular season games remaining. In fact, 6-3 down the stretch...and I'll say it now, MU beats Dracula, er, Pitino & St. John's outright at Fiserv. My worry is Shaka thinking a decent close to the season justifies RGV, and there's no portal shopping.

Quote from: PJDunn on Today at 08:11:12 PMScoop may be better than the outside world at large, but we should expect a bit more. That is an incredibly low bar right now. We had a chance to beat the Hall at home. Our inexperience showed, but that will correct over time.

Seton Hall has been better than Marquette all year, home or away.  Today was entirely expected.
