I hope you're correct.  But you keep saying things you think/hope will happen as if it's fact.  Most years you'd 100% be correct. This year MU and DePaul are much closer in basketball skill than those years.

As a House fan, it was surprising to hear Hugh Laurie's normal voice.

Congrats to new MLB Hall of Famer Joe Buck.

YTTV launching 10 special plans, including a sports package.

YouTube TV says it will begin offering cheaper, more targeted packages of programming starting early next year.

YouTube TV Plans, a collection of 10 different packages, are designed to offer "more choice and flexibility to our subscribers," the company said Wednesday in a blog post. Individual plans can be combined, allowing heavy viewers of sports and news, for example, to get their fix without paying extra for general entertainment fare that is increasingly available outside of the pay bundle. A family entertainment plan is also in the mix.

De Paul's Net Ranking went from 198 yesterday to 173 today in part thanks to their huge blow out score differential of Morgan State

Quote from: MuggsyB on December 07, 2025, 06:52:18 AMThe growth (or lack of) from our returning players is where Shaka whiffed.  Tyko, Oso, Stevie, O-Max, and Kam all got better.  And Mitchell was a game changer defensively. If you look at our returning guys, none of them have really improved.  Including Chase.  His usage is way higher so his numbers look stronger, but he's essentially the same player from the last few seasons.  In his defense he's getting no help whatsoever, but the fact that he and none of our guards can really make consistent plays off the dribble vs a set defense is astounding to me.  And the shooting is even more perplexing.  We may very well be the worst shooting team in the country.  This live by the 3, die by the 3 philosophy, isn't a recipe for ultimate success imo.  Shaka has been bit by it with much better teams. 

Shocked no one is enjoying watching "The Can't Shoot Straight Gang" attempt to shoot/play offense

We won't.

Quote from: 1SE on December 10, 2025, 12:40:44 PMHe can say it in the locker room too - not mutually exclusive. And certainly not crazy for MUs highest paid employee, by far, to take some public accountability for dismal underperformance.

I have very little doubt that is being communicated in the locker room.  Shaka has done this at a high level for a long time. 

While I'm sure he may adapt his style based on his group of players each season, he's not going to play guys that are not giving full effort.  Anything he says during a public press conference won't resonate compared to what he says in the locker room.

The problem is we just don't have enough talent right now and anything Shaka says is not going to change that.

I do think Shaka could have handled a couple of those innocuous press conference questions better but he doesn't owe fans a certain type of answer to convey he is accountable.  He knows that and we know that.

Sure. And could still win the Super Bowl if they do. 

Quote from: wadesworld on December 10, 2025, 01:54:21 PMIt's always amazing to me how well actors are able to nail accents that aren't their natural accent.  Garner in Ozarks, Idris Alba in The Wire, and I've been watching Love and Death that was an HBO show from a couple years ago that just got to Netflix and Elizabeth Olsen does a Southern accent.

And then it's weird to see them in a show or movie in which they can use their normal accent. Wait? Didn't she just spend 4 years talking American?
