Lol. Nice troll.

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 08:11:45 AMBut there aren't room for walk ons post House. There are 15 roster spots and Shaka is filling out all 15 scholarships.

There is nothing wrong with Tre or Caedin on the roster. There is something wrong if they're expected to significantly contribute.

My god he's on a roll! 😆

Sultan clearly "knows" ball.

Quote from: BM1090 on February 20, 2026, 10:50:09 PMCam Thomas and Dieng for essentially nothing are the first good moves they've made in years.

But just in time to ruin an easy tank in potentially one of the best drafts ever.

Not that it matters with Horst. I can picture how it would've gone now. "The Bucks brought in Alijah Arena for a workout, which signals they may be looking to buy into the early second round."

A month later, Adam Silver at the podium: "With the sixth pick in the NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks select Alijah Arena, USC."

Meanwhile as it is, I'm looking forward to trading the 12th pick and our 2031 first rounder, plus Rollins and Bobby, for Ja this offseason.

Does John Fanta have incriminating photos of someone at NBC?

Quote from: wadesworld on February 20, 2026, 01:49:32 PMHas anybody ever had tickets actually be non-transferrable?  Since the timing for Noah Kahan tickets going on sale was based on the local time of the venue, plus you could get access to three shows, I went with Boston because it would be sweet to see him in Fenway, St. Louis because that's by far the closest for me (and the one I would prioritize as a result), and Denver because my brother lives there, it's an easy flight, and it'd be a fun trip.  Since Boston went on sale first, I figured I would buy them if I was able to, and then if I also got tickets to St. Louis I would sell the Boston tickets.

I know scalpers suck and I'm part of the problem, but I would've never gone for the Boston tickets if I was guaranteed to get tickets in St. Louis.  Since Boston was on sale first and I ended up with tickets to both, I figured why wouldn't I get the money I could for the Boston tickets?

So anyway, I went to list the Boston tickets on secondary sites and I believe it was Stubhub that had a notice pop up that said I would need to meet the buyer in person at Fenway to let them in since they are non-transferrable tickets.  Ticketmaster says I'll get the digital tickets on my phone two days prior to each show.  Vividseats let me post the tickets for sale.

Ticketmaster is allowing people to resell their purchases for face value, so I am all good with that, but again I figured why not make some money since I was able to get both?  Just curious if I should give up on that and just list them on Ticketmaster.

OR if a Scooper wants them for face value, I'll be selling 2 for the 7/11 show at Fenway.

For a Springsteen show I went to in 2016 anyone with lower level tickets had to present the credit card they used to buy the tickets when entering the arena.

My nephew may be moving to Boston this summer (GF got into Tufts for grad school waiting to hear from Duke) so I might have a buyer for you.

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 06:50:45 AMDo you seriously not understand this? Or are you being intentionally obtuse? Because I have heard coaches at all levels and in all sports talk about experienced players who set an example for newcomers. Leading the off-season drills. First in the weightroom, etc.

I am not saying that Tre is that - I have no idea. But if he is, and Shaka wants him around, that's fine with me. There are 15 roster spots. 8-9 are actual rotation players...3-4 are up-and-coming...so that leaves a couple glue guys who can play in a pinch but carry the culture of the program. Basically they are taking up spots that walk-ons used to take. No big deal to me.
