I never collected my money from last years win. I wonder if it is still there.

No, there was a time limit. Expired a long time ago.

[PGsHeroes32]

So is the roster locked in??

I see no add ons and it sounds like the deadline was today.

Teams just need 7 players by today. Have up ot 72 hours before their first game to adjust the roster.

[Jay Bee]

Will we def have a game Saturday, or could there be a bye?

Tempted to DRIVE down to Peoria

[TallTitan34]

Anyone get the TBT selection committee email?

Ahh that makes way more sense. Figured teams shouldnt have to have full squads committed this early.

Also explains why the TBT was retweeting the fact that we weren't done adding on just the other day.

Golden Eagles Game 1
July 25 6:00pm Eastern on ESPN

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Diener is back.

The question is, does he know?

[Newsdreams]

Diener is back.

The question is, does he know?

They probably forgot to tell him

[Ardmore Mug]

This is a nice feature on Diener. I saw it on  TV, Ch 6 in Milwaukee...

Final game, last possession, Travis Diener.....perfect decoy, Jamal with the dunk!

When I was at MU it was the Hilltopers, and I was anxious for something else. I was pleased with Warriors, but when the controversy with the Indian feelings emerged, I agreed and embraced the Eagles. It's all trivial, and sensitive to Native Americans. Warriors is forgotten and I am fine with that. Most students don't remember the former and have no burning desire to return to it. Let's grow up and move  into a new century with empathy for the beliefs of others, pride in  our past and hope for our future.

Who is this hero in a mask and cape?

[Markusquette]

Pretty nice game winner for the blue crew

[Markusquette]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but Sacar Anim is now listed on the Golden Eagles TBT team. Big addition!

Hmmmmm,  not so sure.

[MU82]

Hmmmmm,  not so sure.

Not so sure if Sacar is listed, or not so sure it's a "big addition."

Because he is listed.

What about empathy for those who believe it should still be warriors? After all in today's cancel culture that would be athrowback that many would believe in.

I was a neighbor one room over at Schroeder freshman/sophomore years, then housemate jr/sr yrs with The First Warrior. He is Menominee. He petitioned MU to remain Warriors. MU had this narrative that numerous NA groups wanted the nickname change. To this day he's bothered by the change, but going back not happening, especially in today's political climate. Embrace the BLM organization. Warriors? bad.

Interesting and nailed it Viper.

Similar to the Cleveland Indians dropping everything Chief Wahoo over supposed offense to Native Americans. My neighbor who is NA is from Cleveland and a big Indians fan, and to this day has a Chief Wahoo flag up.

I had empathy. But it ran out years ago. It's been over 25 years,  long past time to move on.

Well if one person of native American descent is okay with it than it must be okay right?   

And Viper, MU has not embraced the BLM organization. They've embraced the BLM movement. Two very different things

And his opinion doesn't count and there's undeniably no one else who shares his view out there, right?  That's what's wrong about all this rush to political correctness, it's all a pre determined outcome and pretending to speak for a majority. 

Such as Native Americans polled by the Washington Post in 2016 overwhelmingly   being fine with the Redskins nickname. Then 4 years later the name suddenly and absolutely had to be changed.

This is where people always get lost. It doesn't matter if a majority are insulted or not.  It only matters that a significant population of reasonable people are.
