re: Basketball: NCAA Tournament prospects

Posted by Swsb44 on 1/17/16 at 6:53 pm
It will be the NIT this and maybe the best we can hope for the next several years. We will be inconsistent for the rest of the season. We are certainly not on an upward trajectory. Vanderbilt and certainly Kentucky are nowhere the teams we thought they would be, but good wins. Got some national att...
Exactly! Peter King said nothing about a "hot seat". Payton is just waiting a "respectable" number of seasons after the suspension (and Benson's loyalty) to leave New Orleans. Unless the Saints go to the Superbowl and they probably won't even make the playoffs - Payton will leave on his own and wi...

The Saints are in at 8-8. We had a couple of embarrassing losses, but so very, very close losses to good teams. Saints aren’t near as good as we thought they would be this year, but they’re not near as bad as people seem to make them out to be. We get two easy victories in the next two weeks; fin...
[quote]What we are witnessing now is the team going through the toughest part of the schedule. We have played the 6th toughest schedule so far LINK Look at the games in January-March, we will make a run and be in the thick of the playoff race. If no significant injuries occur this team will end up w...
Thanks, I think this is a big factor. We're not great, but we're not that bad and when you see us at the bottom of the Division it makes me sick. But, the Divsion and Conference - Wow, how can an even better than average (not saying we are) have much hope. However, a string of wins sure would fee...

I moved from New Orleans to Nashville about a two years ago. I thought I was moving to "Hee Haw straw hatsville". However, I love it! Come to the game and plan an extended stay. This place has a GREAT music scene (and I don't like country music at all), every type of venue. Lots of fantastic bars ...

[quote]Demps and Williams have single handidly put this organization in neutral[/quote] Wow, you use selective memory, forgetfulness and the fact that no human has 20/20 hindsight -- to construct a heck of an argument. First, the original deal involving CP3 was done by the commissioner not our guy...
In this thread there have been about 2 or 3 relevant responses. This issue of AD staying with the Pelicans through his most productive years depends mainly on whether the team becomes a league power and soon. I’ve dismissed (to a point) the last two seasons because of the team’s youth and primarily ...

re: Reasons why we win vs Seattle

Posted by Swsb44 on 1/5/14 at 2:29 pm
Did you see our last game against Seattle? I'm thrilled we beat Philly and this Seattle game might be a little closer than the last one but we don't have a chance. But what the shite - I went to Philly and I'll be in Seattle. :nana:...

[quote]It sounds like they had no freaking idea about anything other than the name of the team and the logo/color scheme. [/quote] AGREE! I bought my Pelican shirt, hat and coffee mug months ago when they first came out. After my initial shock with the name, I've been loving the "Pelicans" ma...

Purple&Gold and Wayne, I think you're trying to hurt my feelings and discredit my opinion. Sometimes I just can't understand these issues as profoundly and with such passion, knowledge and sanctified insight as you two creative and original, yet whimsical intellectuals. My apology for interrupting...
[quote]Assuming the backup is not as good as the starter, I don't want them playing any "meaningful" snaps unless forced by injury[/quote] Of course, but we can't assume the backup is not as good starter in all situations and against every team. (I guess?) Mett is no superstar and won't be next ye...
A few reasons for hope - Ryan has been in bad situations the past few years (Cleveland & injury problems at Dallas). I assume that Payton wants the Saints to win next year more than anyone in the universe and he picked Ryan. We had the worse defense in the history of the NFL last year, a suspe...
No. Love it - I'm still crying with joy! :nana: :lol: :doublebird:...
I think the best we will do next year is 8-3. Mett will not be better next year; he just had one good game in the second half of the season and that has been translated into “second half improvement”. For three years we said that JJ would improve and it never happened. What we saw with Mett last y...

Since we're restricted to this list - Krewe - of course. HOWEVER, Benson should buy the entire AFL to acquire the Voodoo brand. This is the only name I would rate about the brand (Jazz) that got away....
