Let's say Sheek can play center, the question I have are any of the small forwards going to take the next step. Not sold on Phillips or Owens right now, so then there is Militec and the two freshman.  If one steps up, they can be pretty good next year.  It sounds like Walker can play, so really if they can find one solid rebounder next year, they can be at least top 3 or 4 in the conference

How many bots?

Waking up early here on the east coast and following it, had similar vibes to when Hawaii sent off those missile alarms falsly/unexpectedly back in 2018: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Hawaii_false_missile_alert

Our Beagle would sploot after chasing a rabbit. When she splooted, I swear I could hear the rabbit laughing its little cottontail off.

I do enjoy seeing Blue in his car during games (he was in an Indy car for the MU game). That must tire him out...and having to watch the product Butler has put on the floor recently. A home loss to Georgetown will exhaust any canine to the point he says, I'm done!

Yup. Recruiting whiffs compounded by insisting that they weren't.

Quote from: GB Warrior on Today at 12:37:05 PMPrecedent has been established here that Sox fans are not entitled to experience enjoyment except for very extreme positive performances

Honestly, being a Sox fan has been generally enjoyable for most of my life. They have been a moderately decent club over the past 40 years. The 2005 club is a vastly overlooked championship team that went 11-1 in the playoffs. ESPN would run a 30 for 30 every year on them if they were the Yankees or Red Sox. 

But the massive amount of incompetence and mismanagement in the past 3 years has been, well quite frankly, historical. It is unfair to expect Sox fans to ignore the results and have great faith that they will become good (.500+) again any time soon. But, this is just one fan's opinion.

This!

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 08:08:50 AMwe need to get in on this:

Not a chance. When a contigent of Marquette fans showed up, he said "go Marquette. For once, I think Jay Bee got it right in his take. The Pope was telling them to get out!

I've been as critical of the staff this year as anyone. Evaluation misses, minute allocations, and adherence to a flawed philosophy led us to where we are now.

But that said, we are unquestionably better this past month, and by leaps and bounds the past two weeks, than we were during the disastrous start. That's a credit to Shaka.

I'm hoping to see the results bear out more of that improvement in our next 7-10 games, and they need to embrace the portal if they're going to get back on the track they were on in 23/24, but anyone watching this team that can't recognize we're in a vastly better place simply doesn't know what they're watching.
