I don't actually see a ton of speed in his game. He's not slow or anything, but he doesn't have that explosive first step guys like Kira and Sexton did. He gets into the lane by having really, really quick feet with the ball on a string. Seems to shake off contact well for a smaller guard too, albeit against prep competition. He's going to eat in the pick and roll.

And they were really easy to wash with those uniformly smooth surfaces. Trump was the inspiration for Biff Tannen. His future rise to the Presidency was a joke on the Simpsons 25 years ago. He was a punchline for years between the hair, the bankruptcies, the constant failed attempts at turning his name into a brand of its own, saying insane shite to the media like "I guess I have the tallest building now" immediately after 9/11 or speculating about how big his infant daughter's breasts would end up being, and basically everything else that made him such a sad, bizarre, sleazy caricature of a man. The ease with which he then immediately suckered tens of millions of people into thinking he cares not just about America, but about them personally, and has the foresight to lead us to a bright new future is going to be studied for decades. Hopefully not just in other countries while our children learn about him the way North Koreans learn about the Kims.

Biden was behind most of history's most notable assaults on America. He burned down the White House in 1812, fired the first shot at Fort Sumter, led the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, trained the 9/11 hijackers, and discovered Morgan Wallen. That's why we need the Fuhrerbunker/ballroom.

But my greatest suspicion and fear is that when the electorate throws the GOP out on their collective asses, whenever that may be, the Democrats have been given the precedent to govern this way. And I will be surprised if they don’t wield it.
I would be shocked if they did. What is going on now is far afield of anything we have ever seen before. It's not normal for either party. It's simply not the kind of corruption that happens in established democracies anywhere. The President filed a baseless lawsuit against his own government and directed his personal criminal defense attorney, who he made into the AG, to settle with him for nearly $2 billion of our tax dollars, for the express purpose of transferring that money to domestic terrorists he pardoned for attempting to overthrow the government on his behalf. And that's just one example. You expect to see something like that in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, or Africa, but not the United States. People of all political persuasions should be fricking outraged and alarm bells should be going off, but instead you have these chucklefricks trying to act like the Democrats, who have control of zero branches of the federal government and a minority of state governments, are somehow currently the greatest threat to America. There's no point in engaging with them.

Only one side is attacking voting rights, sending squads of anonymous thugs into our communities to hunt immigrants, putting the President above the law, insisting that the President can serve more than 2 terms, attacking birthright citizenship, alienating our closest allies, and starting idiotic wars.
I mean I'm sorry but those are all a much, much bigger threat to the well-being of this country than raising Jeff Bezos's taxes, prioritizing renewable energy, and women having access to abortions. They just are, and there is no good faith, straightfaced argument to the contrary. The GOP is a gang of lawless thugs.

Are they good Euro league guys though? There's a pretty big spread over there and signing a 23 year old who was the 3rd best player from an average team in Serbia's version of the MAC just means you signed a very experienced, but probably not very high impact player.

Lebby might get another year if State misses a bowl game, but Beamer has to be gone if USCe doesn't make a bowl game. I just couldn't see the logic in keeping him when 3 of his last 4 seasons were shite. Especially when he has had a potential 1st round pick at QB, as raw as he may be. Sark would really need the wheels to come off I think. Like a lose the locker room toxic situation. Look how hard it was for Penn State and Michigan to find hires.
Saban being gone and Kirby taking a half step back at the same time suddenly has a lot more SEC fanbases content with what they have though.

Assuming this hypothetical person who is good enough at football to be a major D1 recruit but only wants to continue playing it in order to get a college education is real, he's probably got a really good idea of what he wants to do for a living instead, so wherever has the best academic program related his interests.

It suggests he's an explosive enough athlete to be a multi-level scorer as an NBA guard though. A guard who can apply rim pressure is a bit of a commodity. Different from the 2 way wing he was thought to be, but it's still something he can hang his hat on. It's just a matter of whether someone is convinced enough that he can actually do it. Hopefully they all want to see it in practice instead of just in theory.
re: Steve Sarkisian takes a shot at Ole Miss

Not sure what prompted this outburst.
From the linked article inside your link:
quote:
“It’s like we’ve forgotten about academics, yet less than 5% of these guys will play in the NFL,” Sarkisian said.
It is here where Sarkisian is reminded of the swift move allegedly pulled off earlier this spring by the Ole Miss staff. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney claims Ole Miss coaches were recruiting Tigers linebacker Luke Ferrelli while he was in class — and after he had just transferred from Cal. Sent Ferrelli a photo of a million dollar check, and Swinney has the receipts to prove it.
And NCAA enforcement has done nothing. Absolutely nothing.
"Still haven't heard anything from the NCAA," Swinney said Monday during the ACC spring meetings.
Guess where Ferrelli is enrolled? Ole Miss. Which brings up another of the “inequitable” hills Sark is prepared to die on: academic inequity among FBS schools.
“At Texas, we will only take 50% of a player’s academic credit hours,” Sarkisian continues. “You may be a semester from graduating, but you’re going all the way back to 50% if you play here and want a degree. But at Ole Miss, they can take you. All you have to do is take basket weaving, and you can get an Ole Miss degree.”
Sounds like the reporter may have asked him a bit of a loaded question maybe? I understand what he's getting at as far as the academic stuff goes, but this is the definition of a those in glass houses situation. Texas wouldn't bat an eye at having a team full of illiterates if it guaranteed a championship.

His father is Kevin Simon. Played at UT from 2001-2005.
But I’m curious if he’s related to Ken Simon too. Can’t find anything on that.
If he goes by Kenneth II it's possible. That would suggest that he's named after either a grandfather or an uncle on his dad's side.

I don't understand barefoot measurements. They don't play barefooted. Whatever extra height they get from their shoes still exists in a game. Just like football players should be running the 40 in pads because they wear them in games.

Yes. They can stay the same at run blocking but turn into South Carolina in pass protection. Pass protection wasn't elite last season, but it wasn't the unmitigated disaster that the run blocking was.

It's more of a subconscious thing. You see the ad constantly and eventually when faced with a decision about what to pick in that category of product there are increased odds you go with the one you think of the most. Like how if you get sideswiped by a semi on 65 North, Shunnarah is hoping his shite eating grin is the last thing you see before losing consciousness and going into the ambulance.

The thing is that this is all literally nothing more than a vanity project for wealthy boosters. People really miss sight of that. There is no ROI on this spending for them the way there is for the owner of a pro sports franchise who pockets the revenue. Indiana makes money, not Mark Cuban. Texas Tech makes money, not Cody Campbell. The market is not going to correct itself. It's a dick swinging contest between billionaires who can light $50 million on fire and not experience any change in their standard of living.

The easiest guardrail to put up is taxing the absolute frick out of "people" like Mark Cuban, Larry Ellison, Cody Campbell, John Ruiz, the Walton family, etc. and all of their businesses so they don't have enough money left over to throw away millions on vanity projects like buying a championship caliber college athletics team.
