Do you expect Markus back for his senior year?

[Archies Bat]

OK, I'll start by noting that I don't have all the history of all the renditions of Chicos/Cheeks on scoop.  Now, I'm going to say that I have not seen anything objectionable about what Cheeks has been posting over the past weeks.  It adds to the conversation, can be informative and is often interesting.  I do not understand why, whenever he posts something that appears benign or even useful, somebody jumps down his throat about being self serving or argumentative or something.  Y'all gave Ners/Floorslapper a waaaaay longer leash than Chicos is getting.  I get that there's a history, but the responses seem unnaturally harsh when it doesn't appear that we are into the issues that caused prior bannings. 

It's 2019 and we're #11/12 in the polls, folks.  Let's smile and wait for the (inevitable?) regression to the mean before jumping so hard on a poster reincarnation.

+1.  It gets tiresome.

There are some good healthy debates on Scoop.  There are others who just like to sh@t on some others.

Bold part is where we should try to be.

Markus #39

Duke with #1, 3, and 6.

Kansas with an injured guy at #47.

Odds are neither will win it all, but I like my side better.

Oh, and yes, I fully expect Markus to be back for his senior year.  He won't be anywhere close to a first round sniff this year.

I agree with Mom, and I have followed the Chico's saga much longer than she has.  I don't agree with everything Chico's says, and I agree that he often doesn't know when to quit in an argument, but he could literally say, "The sky is blue" and someone on here would accuse him of being a pompous know-it-all.

Repetition is the key to adult learning

Is a running gag from last week.    Lighten up, Francis.   

  sorry-wasn't in on/see the original gag nor the initial posting of this article.  must have been "a roll on the floor" doozy, however i'll try to pay more attention in the future.  i loves me a good one every now and then as much as the chick, et.al. 

        love, fran

  i just became your #1 fan,  mom!!  nicely done!! 

       you couldn't have stated that any better!  cheeks offers a unique point of view thru his interactions and experiences with many people we could only have wished to have crossed paths with.  many here seem to think they have to lift their leg and leave their scent on everything he says just to be heard.  o.k. he's back, get over it.  he has been nothing but respectful, in agreement or otherwise.  show the same a little.  ya'll feel so much better. 

free the man!

I think part of it is Chico's brings out the worst in people. There have been times where I've put him on ignore, not because of anything he is really saying, but because he brings out the worst in me.

I know I have a hard time letting things go sometimes too, and he knows how to push all the right buttons, and does.

I always take him back off ignore though, as I do enjoy some of his nuggets.

Even with all of it, I'd gladly invite him over for beers and to watch the game.

[Eldon]

Even message boards are better with a heel. Chicos, Ners, and Heisenberg are like the Farooq, Rock, and Dlo Brown of MUScoop.

The sky is gray

[Goose]

Chico's makes Scoop a better place. Plus, he is a big boy and can handle himself in almost every discussion.

That's because the sky was yellow and the sun was blue

[tower912]

And Chico's name dropped who was responsible for the color of the sky and went to great lengths to explain over and over why the color of the sky made him morally superior.

Markus #39

This is a big development. I pay attention to the direction the player is moving more than the actual ranking. It took Markus a while to make it to the end of the 2020 mock and now he has jumped up to 39 on 2019.

That's not a credible site.  DraftExpress was the best and now they're in the espn world.

[Herman Cain]

They seem to be reasonably accurate on many of the players I have been following. I followed that sight and Draft Express Henrys year and they were very similar.

The accuracy improves the closer to the draft.

ESPN has Markus getting picked @ # 41 in the 2020 Draft..

FWIW, The Athletic has Markus going 44th in its latest mock draft.
I still think he comes back.

[Slim]

He's staying.

He just said he wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. Done deal.

[Jay Bee]

I may need to go the home finale so I can cheer ONE MORE YEAR.. ONE MORE YEAR.

And also attend the six tourney games.

Correct.  I spoke to Jonathan Givony the other day.  We've had a bit of a relationship going back 10 years.  He will provide more info later which i'll Put up on Crackedsidewalks
