Quote from: Galway Eagle on Today at 02:16:38 PMHaha it would've looked a lot more lopsided back then. Can't underestimate the impact competitive pickleball has on one's ability to box. The skills transfer perfectly.

Imagine the muscle memory for an upper cut he now has.

How many punches would you estimate you took to the old noggin?

Clearly not enough to turn him MAGA.

Quote from: brewcity77 on Today at 02:30:45 PMRGV is a dirty word here, but he can easily divorce himself from that in an interview.

This is a curious statement, but perhaps I'm misreading.
It seems youve said a few times here that it might be better to part ways with Shaka sooner rather than later because any future success would require him to betray his principles and you don't see him ever doing that.
Now you seem to be suggesting he'd easily divorce himself from those same principles for another job, and do so convincingly in an interview.
Are his principles Marquette-specific?

Quote from: Dish on Today at 12:06:42 PMI think Jacksonville is going to thump Buffalo on Sunday.

Neither team is trustworthy. There's a world where you're absolutely correct. And a world where the Bills hang 38 on them and win.

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 12:19:07 PMCould Shaka sell himself as a guy who's learned from those mistakes and can thrive in the current market? Sure. But I don't think many top-tier programs would take the risk if there are other options out there who've proven it (see: TJO, Hoiberg, Byington, McCasland, etc.).

TJO, Byington, McCasland is the short list for Kansas & UNC if they are in the market. There are 79 high major jobs & Shaka would be an upgrade at probably at least 30-40 of them. And it would be easy to say "I tried the HS model, it didn't work, I'll pivot here as long as you give me the money to do so."

RGV is a dirty word here, but he can easily divorce himself from that in an interview. And honestly, anyone hoping Shaka isn't here next year should be glad for the past 4 years. It will make him attractive to many good jobs, and a waived buyout would make it easier for Marquette to move on as well.

Because Buffalo isn't used to playing in non-life-threatening weather this time of year?

Quote from: SoCalEagle on Today at 02:15:27 PMThe Dodgers will take Skubal from the Tigers if they won't pay him.  I would rather have Skenes from the Pirates, but I have no idea what it would take to get him.  Either way we would just adding to an already fantastic rotation.   

They'll just wait a year and sign Skubal without having to give up anything from their top rated farm system.  Why give up assets when you can just outbid anyone?

Competitive pickleball is an oxymoron
