A Dean Smith or Bobby Knight team would kill most modern teams.
Fundamental ball with talented players would dominate. Players of today or more one on one players. I am a fan of a motion offense with crisp/sharp passing with an inside outside game against zones.

This is simply not true. Wade knows how to coach. You don't have the record he has and not know what you're doing. He's turned every program around that he's been at. Is he perfect? Well, no. He has his flaws like many coaches do, but he has proven he knows how to turn a program around. People also forget just how young he still is. He started at LSU when he was in his 30's. There is still plenty of time for him to get even better.


He has some good traits but he won with talent more so than scheme. The challenge today is getting talented players that will buy into a disciplined system.
Terrible offensive philosophy, too much one on one play, etc. It was almost as bad as pickup basketball with better talent.
The current coach needs to be replaced without doubt.

While Wade brought in talent it was frustrating watching his teams with poor fundamentals and being poorly coached. To me, Wade is another Dale Brown that could bring in the talent but was a poor coach. If you get Wade another Tex Winters will be needed.

None if this applies when it comes to issues of “sin”. Many conservatives don’t want you to be able to decide for yourself what products you consume, whether you want to drink, dance, gamble, have sex, use contraception, dress a certain way, watch a given program, etc.

There absolutely are a whole heck of a LOT of conservatives who don’t “live and let live” where some freedoms are concerned. In those respects, they are no different from the progressives.


Stop spreading fertilizer. How many conservatives push to abolish the above? Just because one finds a behavior immoral does not mean they want to keep you from doing it. Thinking someone should not do something does not equal outlawing it. For Pete sakes.
I am in the hospitality industry and we begin to see a decline in guest's behavior soon after the Covid lockdowns began. We closed one of our two hotels in town and associates we furloughed went from making two to $400 a week gross (based on hours per week) to bringing in $800 in unemployment. Their income doubled to tripled overnight. This was the same for most people in their neighborhood. Add in all the government freebies and they thought they were loaded. They would check into the hotel and a nightmare to deal with.

I received one in Eros a few months back. I scheduled the court hearing and received a call the day of the scheduled hearing. I told the caller I could not know if I was driving or not. He said he would drop the case if I told him I was not driving. That is the way it ended.

Also, there is a new law waiting on the governor's signature that does not allow the cameras outside of school zones.
I bought one of these for my wife back in the early 90's. It has rarely been shot and is in perfect condition. I see online the values can be between $350 to $450. Is there a decent market for such a handgun? We are thinking about selling it since we never use it.
