Better than .118.

Whoever the Dodgers knock out with a starting rotation of Yamamoto, Shohei, Snell, Glasnow, Sasaki (who doesn't have to close because they simply signed Diaz), and Sheehan just needs to "hit better" than their lineup of Shohei, Tucker, Betts, Freeman, Smith, Muncy, Hernandez, Edmond, Pagas.

No problem.

You know what is fun? Arguing about what seed 1-4 we'll get.

You know what isn't fun? Arguing about how many BE wins 1-4 we'll get.

Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 07:59:50 PMI've read many posts stating they will no longer watch this team and that it's masochistic to do so.  These same people have also intimated time and time again that winning at this point is meaningless.  I vehemently disagree.  In my view it's more than fair to criticize Shaka,the players, the state of the program, etc.  I do so quite frequently.  What I object to is quitting as a fan of MU hoops and losing all hope for our future. 

Either you are fan of MU hoops, our esteemed history, or you're a fking loser troll (Farley is a good example) as far as I'm concerned.  I believe we will bounce back and Shaka will pivot.  If he doesn't?  He should be immediately shown the door.  But regardless of who's out there, or coaching our program, I will always hope for greatness and getting back to the promised land.  And I say this completely admitting this is the worst MU team I have seen in my lifetime to this point in our season. 

the Scoop unifier is we all want MU basketball to dominate. It's a season of embarrassment and everyone handles it their own way. I admit I can hardly watch this team. Rather, I'll take in the game with Homer & TSmith. At least with Smith, he gives a solid assessment, and can relate since he played 3 of his seasons for Dukiet. (Committed to Majerus but honored the commitment when Majerus was 'encouraged' to depart). I sit in my rec room listening to the games. My wife tells me I keep mumbling 'why' 'how' and 'what the helll' a lot. Is what it is, Muggs.

At least adding one of the best players in baseball will finally deplete some of their top rated farm system this time. Err...

With the Packers in Cancun, this is correct.

Shocking. Baseball has it all figured out.

This is going to be received well here.

Quote from: Dish on Today at 03:10:47 PMA lot of talk about the weather on Sunday in Chicago, but I don't think it will make a huge difference, with one exception.

The Rams special teams are awful, and I think if the Bears are going to win on Sunday, bad Rams special teams will play a big factor. Mevis is a rookie and kicking at Soldier Field on a cold and windy day in January is no joke. Their coverage units are not good and they're the only team in the NFL whose philosophy is to aim for touchbacks on every kickoff. I think if any unit is going to be impacted by the weather, it'll be the Rams ST unit.

How many players implicated were at some point connected to MU, either during recruiting or by portal speculation?
