Assuming this thread is for both football and basketball. ESPNU tonight had the 30-for-30 on Phi Slamma Jamma followed by the ESPN film "The Fab Five". That got me wondering.... Who do you think is the best college team to not win the national championship during their tenure: The Fab Five (Webber, Howard, Rose, King) Phi Slamma Jamma (Olaijuwon, Drexler, Young, Micheaux) Other?

I know what it is. I don't get why they're using it. I'm not in a theater watching a movie. It's sports. It doesn't add anything to the experience.

The TV camera shot where the person in the foreground is in focus and everything in the background is out of focus. I don't get it.

They have some work to do. Also depends on what the other bubble teams do. If Oklahoma State/Boise State/North Carolina/Kentucky/Texas A&M/Seton Hall/Oregon all falter down the stretch and USC and Wake Forest, while also bubble teams, get hot that will help. Need the regular season winners in the non-P5 conferences to win their tourney too. Kentucky & Florida lost yesterday, Texas A&M beat LSU on the road though. Oregon lost, UNC and Wake won, Oklahoma State won at Iowa State, which was probably the worst thing to happen to UW this weekend.

Mayer's former teammate Kyle Hamilton was quoted as saying that if there's one thing he learned during the draft process "it's that NFL teams love them some Michael Mayer". He's not exciting, but teams covet him because the list of TEs who are both good receivers and blockers is a very short list. Musgrave is getting some love because of the athleticism he's shown as a receiver during the Senior Bowl practices, but he also got blown up in run blocking in some of those reps as well. I don't foresee a tackle unless both Rodgers and Bakh get traded (Raiders and Giants have cap room for both). Even if Bakh gets traded, they could easily lock up Nijman on a multi-year deal leaving a good young duo in Nijman and Tom. Not elite, but good enough to invest in other areas of need and give time to see how the young tackles they have develop. I don't think Tom is strong enough to play interior - he will get shoved around by big, strong DTs. I think it's a two-horse race between Branch and Mayer. Given the run on WRs last year I don't see Johnston making it out of the top 10 given the lack of #1-type WRs in this draft. If both Branch and Mayer are gone, I foresee a trade down and grabbing Musgrave or Washington late in the 1st/early 2nd or... Spoiler alert - watch for the combine/pro day testing for Keion White, DE/Edge, Georgia Tech.

And the best thing you can do is win on the road or neutral sites, especially against non-conference opponents. The road win against Marquette and the neutral site wins over USC and Dayton are looking pretty good and help elevate the SOS of the Big Ten. Not sure if I'm missing something, but I only see four home losses and all are to teams that are projected to be in the tournament (Wake is bubble - in some, first out others, but 8-6 in the ACC usually gets you in).

Not correct. Nets receive two 2nd round picks from the Bucks (2028 & 2029) plus draft rights to guard Juan Pablo Vaulet from the Pacers. Pacers get three 2nds from the Bucks plus Nwora, Hill, and Ibaka.

Northwestern is 16th in the nation if number of FGs given up per game, 12th in the nation in 2-point FG% (UW's bread & butter). The only question is if they make their shots/free throws as they have one of the best defenses in the nation. Last year Wahl shot 57% from 2-point FGs; this year he is 43%. Last year he shot 70% from FTs; this year, 60%. Something is wrong with him. Similar with Crowl - last year he was 80% from FTs; this year, 60%. Last year Hepburn shot 42% from 2-point FGs; this year, 34%.

I'm struggling to think of any time that I've gotten food delivery that wasn't pizza and/or for a large gathering. I always go carryout as you get the food faster and less things that can go wrong along the way.

Yep, the layoffs, particularly in the tech sector, come with severance that I'm sure many are going to use to take some time off, travel, and do some bucket list things before job searching. The unemployment claims are forthcoming. Other context to the jobs report: The labor force participation rate edged higher to 62.4%. Greater supply of workers. Every 0.1% increase in labor participation rate is an additional >$300K workers. A broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons also edged higher to 6.6%. A bulk of the created jobs (128K) were in the leisure & hospitality sector, which involve a lot of part-time and lower-wage jobs.

Except for Johnny Davis, and Micah Potter, and Aleem Ford. But other than those guys, yeah, they're not developing and churning out NBA talent.

Yep, there was the whole Adidas (and non-Adidas) corruption scandal that came to light in 2017. The Elite Youth Basketball League, the grassroots basketball division of Nike, was served with a subpoena by federal investigators. Diamond Stone allegedly received over $14,000 from ASM to attend Maryland. Now, with NIL, it's even worse - they have NIL deals with Nike (and Adidas, and Under Armour) that can legally stipulate that they must attend a school that they sponsor in order to get the NIL money (they get around it by not specifying a school in the deal and just say "any school" that Nike is affiliated with). Nike is the dominant player in NCAA BB. Nike is in a lot better financial shape than Under Armour and has a lot more $ to give out on NIL deals.

What I meant was guys staying, redshirting their freshman year, coming off of the bench for a couple of years, and becoming something their 3rd/4th year in the program. A la Frank Kaminsky, Jordan Taylor, Ben Brust, Tyler Wahl, Bronson Koenig, Jared Berggren, to a lesser extent Nate Reuvers, D'Mitrik Trice, Johnny Davis didn't redshirt, but he didn't start any games as a freshman and was a high 3-star recruit. Happ was good as a freshman, but he redshited and learned under Kaminsky for a year while never playing. If they go to a different school, they don't get the same development. Different coaches, different system. How many of those guys would have stayed had the portal existed? We'll never know.
-
Don't underestimate the power of AAU coaches and camps in steering players towards their sponsors. Remember Diamond Stone?
-
Executive summary - their biggest issues are: They have been a developmental program, and now with the portal if kids don't play as much as they think they should right away they look elsewhere. Kids in the portal look to start, not be backups (unless it's a legit Final Four contender). They are an Under Armour school, not a Nike school. Wahl was injured and apparently Hepburn has been fighting an ankle injury for a while too, which might explain some of his play.

I'm sure you can. When your doctor orders it, it will be shipped to your home. After you receive the kit you can take it, poop, and ship from anywhere. Maybe check the shipping requirements, but I don't see why it has to be shipped from your home.

It is easy to search and find teams - hit CTRL-F (or Command-F on a Mac). A prompt will show up that will search the page for text. Took me less than 10 seconds to find the teams.

Cologuard. Not sure if you're high risk, but for people who are average risk the American Cancer Society says that either a colonoscopy or a stool-based test (i.e. Cologuard) is fine. And Cologuard is covered 100% on my health plan, whereas a colonoscopy isn't - and I have a high deductible health plan. Unfortunately my doctor knows little about Cologuard and fought me on my insistence on Cologuard even though I'm low risk.

Wisconsin's Final Four teams were 332nd in pace of play (2013-2014) and 346th (2014-2015) in pace of play. In 2014 they lost to Kentucky who was 193rd in pace of play, and in 2015 they lost to Duke who was 141st in pace of play. You could have checked the link I provided... Teams win championships because they are efficient - they score at a high % of their possessions.

Saw Arby's Sauce and Arby's Horsey Sauce at the grocery store yesterday. Picked up the Arby's Sauce. Only 4g of added sugar per serving. Didn't get the Horsey Sauce - bottle was too big for how seldom I'd use it. But if you haven't dipped Arby's curly fries in a mixture of Arby's Sauce and Horsey Sauce... you haven't had fries. I just don't have fries that much, or roast beef sandwiches.

The year that Virginia won the national championship they were literally last in the nation - 353rd - in pace of play. The team they beat in the final was 268th.

One of UW's challenges with basketball recruiting is that they are an Under Armour school, not a Nike school. The kids that go to the Nike camps/AAU teams get steered towards Nike schools. Under Armour is more of a football brand than basketball, and Nike is the top brand for basketball - the Nike camps/AAU teams usually get the best basketball players. That has contributed to some of the in-state kids going elsewhere (Podziemski initially going to Illinois, a Nike school, as he went to the Nike-sponsored Phenom camps; that, and he thought he was a 1-2 year player and UW had Davison and Bowman, so he had no interest in UW). Purdue, Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State are all Nike schools and, not so coincidentally, the top basketball schools in the conference.

His first tenure with the Brewers ended with the trade that brought Rick Manning to Milwaukee, but he made a brief return in his final season in 1986. Au contraire mon ami - that was Gorman's second tenure with MKE. He was traded to TEX after the 1977 season and then purchased back in Feb of 1978.

I do. Dude married former Playboy Playmate Lisa Dergan, who was one of my absolute crushes in the 90's. Hated him for that at the time, but that was just love disguised as jealousy. Arguably his biggest accomplishment. Google "Lisa Dergan Playboy" and check Images if you don't remember...
