Quote from: panda on Today at 01:53:28 PMI actually think he would be a great fit there. ASU shows a significant amount of ambition compared to SLU. Additionally, St. Louis is just a disgusting place to live, raise a family etc. I think anyone with half a brain would jump at the opportunity to go to one of our nations most esteemed universities in Arizona State.

Can't be true. I have it on excellent authority that Iran's nuclear program was "obliterated" last year.

One could argue that the trajectory of the end of 2026 is better than the trajectory of the end of 2025. This team is improving with younger players who will (presumptively) return and continue to get better. With the right addition(s), a return to the NCAA tournament should be a realistic goal.

I don't believe Shaka Smart will leave MU for Arizona State. I also don't believe Greg McDermott will leave Creighton to coach ASU.

Good luck. They do have a couple of good offensive pieces it seems.

Reinsdorf's excuse for prematurely breaking up the dynasty was that he didn't want to get stuck with an expensive but mediocre team. But that's exactly what he has fielded for years now. We'll see if this reset works better than the 1999-2005 one did.

Obviously this sabre-rattling is about getting Iran to capitulate on a nuclear deal. But Iran really doesn't see the need to do so because all the United States is going to do is bomb them, which will break things undoubtedly, but isn't going to remove the mullahs from power. They also know full well that any sort of invasion of Iran isn't going to go well for the U.S. at all, and would be extremely unpopular.

Finally, the United States has shown that its not a reliable partner when it comes to its nuclear treaties anyway. So why bother?

I have said this before, but Trump's foreign policy is the exactly opposite of TR's "speak softly but carry a big stick." He talks brashly (for the lol's apparently) but then just weenies out. And in the long-run that just costs us legitimacy. Like it has in Europe.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 01:40:15 PMThat's reasonable.

I do think it also was reasonable to think that he could have stepped up into more of a primary role ... but it just didn't happen.

Turns out he was the ideal 4th or 5th option on a good team. No shame in that. He had a role in a lot of winning at Marquette.

I hope his shoulder injury isn't a season-ender. He played real well for a long stretch yesterday.
Yup, he is a very good non primary option given the limitations of his skills. As another posted, he is a straight line offensive player and a fine defender in that role. Too much has been asked of him this year. Hope he can finish out the season.

I added an international ETF last year and it has easily outperformed SPY. I know it's all cyclical, though.
