Will mu make the tourny

And more shooting.

There's just that pesky little rebounding thing.

There's this guy named Bola.

There's this guy named Bola.

Heard some mixed reports as to our interest and his availability. Olaniyan was one of the first guys that jumped out at me as the exact type of grad transfer we need. If we could land him and get 20 mpg, that would really change my expectations for next year. His rebounding percentages are insane. It's not just that he averaged 8.8 rpg, it's that he did it in 23.5 mpg. That's freaking awesome.

It's the Panther Arena.

With that name makes the decision a little easier to play in the Bradley Center!

PLAYOFFS!...YOU'RE TALKING PLAYOFFS! [ a great rant ]

I think we will surprise some people with our shooting, I think we make the NCAA.
It's time for optimism.

[rocky_warrior]

Yes.

Next question?

[wadesworld]

Yes.

Next question?

Will "mu" win the "tourny?"

[rocky_warrior]

Will "mu" win the "tourney?"

Possibly, but not probable.

This begs a question ...

Which team is better?  Next year's team or last year's team.

Actually, no.  But my point requires comprehension of logic.  To wit.

"A Phrase to Watch

Not long ago, I gently noted (again) our frequent misuse of the phrase "beg the question." I pointed out that in precise usage, it does not mean "to raise the question" or "to beg that the question be asked" or even "to evade the question." Rather, it refers to a circular argument; it means "to use an argument that assumes as proved the very thing one is trying to prove."

After my latest complaint, which included several examples of lapses, a couple of colleagues asked if I could supply some examples of the traditional, precise use.

.... I'll try to clarify the meaning with a pair of made-up examples. Imagine that we're discussing Lindsay Lohan.

YOU: I can't understand why the news media give so much coverage to Lindsay Lohan. It's ridiculous. She's not that important or newsworthy.

ME: What? Of course she's important and newsworthy! Lindsay Lohan is a big deal. Why, just look at the newsstand. People magazine, The Post, you name it. She's everywhere.

YOU: That begs the question.

ME: Huh?

Your use of the phrase is correct. In arguing that Lindsay is important enough to merit heavy news coverage, I cite as evidence the fact that she gets heavy news coverage. It's a circular argument that begs the question.

•••

But imagine this conversation.

ME: I can't understand why all the news media give so much coverage to Lindsay Lohan. It's ridiculous.

YOU: I'm sure they do it just to sell papers and magazines.

ME: Yeah — which begs the question, why do people want to read about her?

YOU: That's not begging the question. That's simply raising the question.

ME: Huh?

My use is incorrect, though it is becoming extremely common. "

It might have something to do with this.

"Olaniyan, a fifth-year senior, was suspended for three games early in the season for a violation of team rules."

It's almost July .. Of course they will.

It's next November when we'll know for sure.
