Purdue @ Marquette November 14

[Spotcheck Billy]

That's every little ting...

great like this or with Appleton VX and a touch of pineapple juice

[Newsdreams]

Put me in the I think we will dance camp. I think key will be OOC schedule without Froling. If Heltd can stay out of foul trouble that I think could be the key. Once Froling is playing we can have rosters that can play small or with lots of length and both could be very offensive with good rim protection.

I see two lead guards with experience and ridiculous range.  I see a junior to be who had a great freshman year and will want to bounce back from a sophomore slump.  I see a miniature Steve Nova at the 3.  I see a lot of size and versatility that will sort itself out up front.     
    Sure, it is possible that the young guys develop slower than we would hope.  Injuries are always concerns.  And transfers.  But I choose to be optimistic. 
In the words of the rasta....
...don't worry..... about a ting.....every little thing..... gonna be all right

My two oldest are already telling their friends about going to the "Marquette NCA tournament again next March," and while I hate to see their hearts broken, I see no reason to tamp down expectations.  But would I place $100 straight-up on MU making the dance?  Heck no.

[tough love > $100]

I probably would have made that bet anytime between '06 and '12.  I'm not pessimistic... I'm just very cautiously optimistic.

[tower912]

$100 is trivial.   $1000 now, yeah, I wouldn't bet that much.

[onepost]

I'll bet anyone on this board $100 we go dancing next season.

What about this season?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

What about this season?

We're in the off season, so the next season starts in November. That is how I interpreted it.

That's the way my Calendar  reads.

Are you buying me a beer this Saturday or next Saturday?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Free beer tomorrow

What about this season?

This season ended in April.  Next season begins in November.

[The Equalizer]

You may be right.

I see what you did there.

Purdue's Caleb Swanigan is staying in the NBA Draft, source told ESPN. I had one GM tell me they think he is... espn.com/espn/now?nowId...

This season ended in April.  Next season begins in November.

Or last season ended in April and this season begins in November.
This may actually be based on where you live. I grew up in Milwaukee and now live in Sheboygan. In Sheboygan this Saturday would mean May 27th and next Saturday would be June 3rd. Coming from Milwaukee, I did not think this way and it took a while to understand this.

Or last season ended in April and this season begins in November.

Or last season ended in April and next season starts in November. There is no this season right now.

By September or October, next season will become this season. It's really subjective, but I feel next season is too far away to be referred to as this season.  Whereas Saturday is only days away, so this Saturday is May 27 and next Saturday is June 3.

  Certainly Defense is always a concern, but something I noticed on another Board when they were ranking their all time best players at different position.  Almost all were very high offensive calling card players.  It was striking to me that almost all Fans Talk defense but Few Vote defense. Just an observation and trying to figure out what that means in the climate of defense debate on the Boards I visited.  Seems like when push comes to shove offense wins as far as Fans are concerned. You may want to test it on yourself.

Defense don't matta, unless you can score.

If we were in Germany, I'd have to make your bunk. But we're in Italy so you have to make mine.  Its regulations.

So I'm the only one who grew up saying "this past Saturday" and "this coming Saturday."
