If the Badgers hit their 3's, they can stay on the floor and, maybe, beat anybody. The problem is they cannot hit their 3's consistently. What I saw may times last night was a 5-out, then have somebody go and touch the block while everybody else is standing around. Then Nick Boyd gets anxious and starts dribbling around. I'm sure I'm completely missing it, but the inside game is non-existent. It is also to the point where if somebody drives, there is no plan. The only creativity is to dribble to the elbow or maybe the block, kick it out and toss up a three. Wash, rinse, repeat. Perhaps it can be said better like this -- go through the set once (swing, hit the post, etc.). If that doesn't work (maybe 18 seconds left on the shot clock), forget the set and start jacking up threes. Again... great when it works, but terrible when the 3's aren't falling. Also, I know I am being a bit hyperbolic... 😉

A House of Dynamite on Netflix. Lots of stars and a very cool concept, but the ending... 🤔 If you saw it, you know what I'm talking about.

2025 Miscellaneous College Football thread

I think Mark Cuban helped out in recruiting... a little. -
I might have said this at some point in this thread (29 pages... and growing), but I find it very, very funny that many people who are having issues with NIL were adamant about college players getting paid. What did we think was going to happen? Yeah, athletes put in "extra time" to benefit the university. The university gets all of the profits and what do the athletes get? Pfft... just free education, free tutoring, training table, clothes, and a lot more. The student who works extra hours to get a good grade or actually helps get research grants (university gets "all the profits") doesn't get a free education, free tutoring, training, etc. All I know is kids don't go to a school to participate in a sport and have pride in the school. In the past, Wisconsin kids don't come to Wisconsin -- they go to Indiana because they get paid more and, well, their program is much much better. I'm just bitter.

I would like to see the Badgers beef up the OL, too. That seems to have been one of the core issues for the past three years.
-
It seems like the Badger guards will dribble into trouble, panic, and then jump pass into no-man's land. I was getting very frustrated with the TOs in the first half. I didn't seen the Nova game. I don't know if it was the same thing causing them to have 16 TOs in that game or not.

Sounds like "promotion" like in soccer. That would give them incentive but might also pull in recruits from the Transfer Portal if they know they will be in the tourney next year. There would probably have to be some type of limits put on it, though. The team would have to be in the top 25 next year if they win the tournament this year as an example. You wouldn't want a 3-8 team in the First-Division Tournament 😉

Thanks, Jim. Last time I had seen him, I had mentioned that. Thank you for reminding me... and encouraging me.

I found out yesterday that a friend of mine from high school who was about 2 years my junior died of a heart attack. I would see him once in a while in person and chat. I don't spend a lot of time on Facebook. I looked on Facebook and saw there was a friend request from him from a few months ago. Wow...

Tulane and James Madison got their lunch handed to them. Not a surprise at all. Notre Dame was probably better than either of them. -
DraftKings or Caesar's would push for something like this. We all know that Notre Dame wouldn't lower themselves to such standards. They are much better than that.

Una Vajagic enters the portal. A little surprised, but they have a lot of talent coming in.

In game 1, the passes to the setter were spot on. In game 2, the Badgers started beating themselves with a bunch of service errors. After that, Kentucky served better / Wisconsin wasn't able to pass as well. That didn't give the setter many options. Kentucky set up their block more consistently when Wisconsin wasn't as consistent. Kelly Sheffield has a very, very good thing going at Wisconsin. It is certainly fun to watch, although sometimes on TV, they use terms that it took me a while to learn. Perhaps a drinking game? "Out of system!" --- Drink! "Overpass" -- Drink! Sheffield and Mark Johnson (Women's hockey) have built a great legacy for women's sports at Wisconsin.

Wasn't he part of the Thuggee tribe? You know, Mola Rom?

Broadcom (AVGO) down 11% today even though they had impressive earnings. Ouch. The 5Day chart looks the same for NVDA. Tied at the hip they are....

Caught up on Tracker on CBS / Paramount. Getting a little darker... nice! Picked up The Diplomat on Netflix. Only watched season 1 right after it came out. Just started season 2. My (new) son-in-law said I have to watch Landman. Thoughts?

C'mon... UConn didn't have the Air Raid.

We knew this was going to happen when the Haslam family became part of the ownership group. They destroyed the Browns, now the Bucks. https://haslamsports.com/teams/milwaukee-bucks/#:~:text=In Februrary 2023%2C Dee%2C Jimmy,Lasry's stake in the Bucks.

Yeah, but they had the easiest strength of schedule (SOS) up to the point he was fired. After that they had the hardest or second hardest SOS. That was one thing that was mentioned a few times, but wasn't really focused on because that really didn't fit the narrative. That doesn't mean that Rivers was / is the man for the job, nor does it say that Griffin wasn't the guy.

Pfft... who needs AI when you have SVEUM!

Let's GO, AVGO!!!!! Broadcom and NVidia are attached at the hip, so it seems.

Up to #2 in the USCHO Poll: https://www.uscho.com/rankings/d-i-mens-poll #2 in the NPI (still?): https://www.uscho.com/rankings/npi/d-i-men Q: is Pairwise different than NPI? I know they are related, but didn't know if they were really the same thing.
