Quote from: tower912 on January 06, 2026, 03:30:45 PMThat is even better than the Trinidad Chambliss story.

Chambliss' story is great, but to me its just a derivative of a standard late bloomer story mixed with overstated undersized concerns.  He was a REALLY good HS player, in football and basketball, but was kind of a tweener size wise and was more of an athlete than a straight QB prospect.  Even still, he ended up at Ferris St, who was a top 5 D2 program and then he sat and developed for a few years.

But Mestamaker? He was more of a punter than he was a QB in HS.  Completed less than 25 passes...IN HIS WHOLE HS CAREER.  The bowl game he started last year, he had almost 100 more yards passing in that game than he did all of HS.  There are plenty of former walk ons who become stars (Baker Mayfield and JJ Watt come to mind) but they, like Watt and Baker, usually turned down smaller offers to walk on at big schools. What Mestamaker has done already is just astounding.  Ive praised Eric Morris here previously as a QB whisperer.  I can't wait to see what he and Mestamaker do at a bigger program with more resources at Ok St.

Georgetown made 1 singular shot in the second half...and we lost to them.

Sweet Jesus.

Quote from: Daniel on January 06, 2026, 09:36:01 PMYes beat X.   I just watched a DePaul beat Georgetown.    DePaul is 10-6, 2-3 in BE.   Watched the after show about big east and ther put the standings up and even knowing it, when I saw Marquette at the bottom..... I just gulped in disbelief.   

Hopefully Marquette finds their groove starting Wednesday.   Let's Go Marquette!

We absolutely have to win this game.  A loss would be an MU hoops catastrophe indescribable with words alone. 

Nm.

I guess I jinxed TCU!  Or the zebras did. 

Quote from: tower912 on January 06, 2026, 05:07:42 PMLast spring, my son's HS baseball team completely imploded despite a 25-6 record after the coach preached effort and accountability, then brought up freshmen (none of whom improved the team) instead of giving reps to the guys who had bled and sweated for 3-4 years.   There were juniors quitting in the middle of a game (before you bring up character, both started as seniors on a state championship football team), just packing up and walking because the coach was playing freshmen i steady of rewarding effort, dedication, and previous accomplishments.

The last I heard, this year's team will only have one returning upperclassmen.

It goes both ways.  If you preach hard work, dedication, and attitude, and fail to reward it, that, too, is seen has hypocrisy or betrayal

random thought...sounds like a good baseball team. Coach really screwed that up. At MU, however, we have a historically bad basketball team. Difference might be, baseball team was winning. Don't change a thing. Marquette is losing big time, so maybe a change is ok.

TCU is punking Kansas at the Phog.

And we are Georgetown's only conference win.

Yikes.

Please explain how this will benefit US citizens or Venezuela citizens

Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on January 06, 2026, 08:09:18 PMOne of Trump's genius (and I mean that seriously) abilities is to get people to hear what they want to hear. He will throw out 4 or 5 completely contradictory reasons for any given thing and his adherents choose the one they want to believe. He gets away with this like no one else can, thanks to the unending firehose of lies he tells--there just isn't the bandwidth in the universe to call him on all the lies.

But to the best of my knowledge, no one in this administration, or even his adjacent allies like Moses Mike Johnson, has proffered an excuse for attacking Venezuela so ridiculous as "it's what Jesus would have wanted."

So congratulations, I guess, for coming up with a rationale so mind-boggling insane that not even the Trump administration thought it would pass the laugh test.

Lying is OP
