It's nice to find something we agree upon Vander. FWIW...I respect your opinions despite disagreeing with a fair number of them this season. Your reasoning is sound. I just wish you would see things my way.

I know a great source. It's Fair and Balanced!

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 12:25:49 PMHot take from the weekend ... VAR in its current format has made the EPL nearly unwatchable.

A quick review of a play that leads to a goal to see if was onside makes sense. Reviewing the play that led to the play that led to the play that led to the goal is insane.

I was thinking about this too. On the other hand, I do think it's infinitely better in it's current state than it was a few years ago. In a few years I'm hopeful we'll get to the point where it's pretty seamless and useful like it is in tennis.

Quote from: WellsstreetWanderer on Today at 12:44:40 PMSearching for truth is definitely not easy

Nor is defining it easy. But your point is fair. There are too few "honest brokers" in the media business. What I see as the most tragic development is the transparent effort to suppress any outlet that is critical of the Grand Poohbah. And yes, before you or anyone else here asks....I would be just as worried if the suppression came from the other extent of the political pendulum's path. See my first signature.

Puglia, Italy

I have a trip to a resort in Puglia. Can fly into either Bari or Brindisi. Plan will be to spend a couple days in the arrival city before the stay at the resort.
Anyone been to either city? Opinions on which is a more interesting choice to spend 2-3 days?

Quote from: SchnitzelBoy on Today at 10:11:39 AMI don't know who is going to transfer, but I bet it'll just be one player. I think Shaka will max out at 2 portal additions. It seems so unlike him to swing the pendulum completely the other way. I very much want

I would be totally fine with basically everyone back next year so long as we can add a productive guard and a physical center who can rebound, defend, and score at a reasonable clip. That does require one guy moving on.

I've said this before, but I think Caedin, Sean and Tre are good "culture" guys who can add value. But one of them needs to go, while the others should keep the vibes similar to what we had with Kolek, Kam, Jop, Oso, and Stevie.

I agree this team can be competitive next season with 2 very good portal additions (a 5 and scoring wing are my two preference but also understand the need for a combo guard).

I also think there can be a place for a culture guy or two like Tre.

But if you want to have that luxury, you can't complete whiff on an entire class (Zaide, Tre, etc.) and have another very underwhelming class (Chase, Ben) as your upperclassmen. 

I've said in another thread that I like Shaka using the added roster spots to redshirt some guys and/or to take a flier on a guy like Clark.  But he might be best suited going forward to leave at least one spot open to give himself some additional flexibility. 

Princeton won on the Road.
Cincinnati and Marquette are now the only 2 Teams in TOP 244 NET Rankings without a Road or Neutral Win.

Strawman.

The feds control numerous agencies that make numerous mistakes. It happens with bureaucracies. Let them clean their own house before burning down states' rights.

Dozens of courts have found no evidence of widespread election fraud ... although the current president tried his damnedest to defraud the system in 2020-21. Thankfully, honesty - and the Constitution - prevailed. It might not next time. And sadly, that's ok with
millions of brainwashed Americans.

Is this actually a problem?
