She's awesome, I love her in Ozark. I find myself quoting her line, "I don't know s@%! about f#&@." Also thought she was great in The Americans.

Started watching Landman, I'm super into it. I'm not a huge BBT fan, but he is awesome, dare I say, almost endearing. Love the pace, the tension, the comic relief. Solid show, I'm three episodes in.

Playing one handed?

There is nothing wrong with RGV - the teams before this year have seemed so connected and for each other.    Other coaches have said similar things about their teams.   We as fans focus on the V and of course, that what coaches get paid for.   But RG can help Vs.    this team seems. But disconnected, and that is a major issue. 

Horst should be arrested. He took a team with Giannis, playing in the Eastern Conference and its two biggest contenders down and out, and has made a team that is completely uncompetitive and has no control of its draft picks for another half decade.

The Bucks blocked him from interviewing for a promotion with the Pistons (who are now flourishing) and blocked him from interviewing for other GM positions before extending him after a third straight first round exit. Beyond that, they gave Doc Rivers a coaching job. I half jokingly wonder if Jimmy Haslem incentivized by the NBA to buy in as an owner and blow it all up so Giannis asks out.

We have payed four pretty bad teams and won, and 4 decent teams of which we should have bet at least two and lost.    The team never quites in the fight - they just, so far, have not shown the quality depth, experience and talent to win the tougher games.   

That could change, but my guess was we would have beat OK if the team's light bulb went bright and they saw the light.   But no.   Mostly the issue is talent and experience.    We are lacking 8n those areas.    Maybe development did it happen like the coaches thought.    Maybe it will take longer.   But right now, this team seems los5 at times.  That's never good. But guys like James is going to be a star - Phillips could be excellent at scoring once he gets his defense down... he will play more.   Steven's will be good, and CH has shown s9me good moves and can develop into a decent player.     So.... There is ....hope!   

I haven't seen Kraft in a long time before tonight and he doesn't look good. Maybe he needs a massage?

Quote from: Zog from Margo on December 01, 2025, 04:21:34 PMWhy does Shaka get no credit for the transfers? He recruited Morsell, OMax, TKO, Kuath, Joplin, Ross, James, Stevens etc. Who cares if they came as transfers or out of high school? Let's be honest, MU started playing poorly last year when the Wojo recruits, Kam and Stevie (two guys Wojo never coached), were still on the roster and should have been leading. Wojo recruited some good players. Shaka has recruited some good players. They both recruited some players they shouldn't have. This year's team has too many players that don't fit the system Shaka uses or who aren't talented enough. Wojo didn't recruit players good enough to overcome his limitations as a coach.

If you're going to blame last year on Kam and Stevie, I don't even know what to say. We probably win single digit games without those two. Two of the winningest players in program history.

Yes.  He was terrific in the one man play, McGuire by Dick Enberg.  He was also in my first logic class I taught at Marquette!
