How did you get there and how long did it take you to get out of the area?

The end of that match was wildly frustrating.

That's wolves nuggets game seven might have been the most improbable result I've seen in 40 years of watching the NBA

It is crazy ho Chelsea turned it around. Cole Palmer is amazing. Nkunku playing instead of Nicholas Jackson is such an incredible upgrade he is worse than Antony.

Smoke and mirrors

My wishlist is so we don't have to take Kaluma back.

I'm not sure anyone left is better. I'd like to take a bet on year two of development with this staff.

Meh, I was a little underwhelmed.

spracs, as a friend, I would strongly recommend you add “Loljk” or something like that before this turns into your own personal mahommes/lawl thread

I don't recall who started that thread, but it is far from certain whether he'll live up to his lofty expectations. Could go either way. I wasn't impressed w/ him last year. Granted, he was just a freshman.

Maybe reflect on why he's a top 10 Heisman favorite, as a true sophomore, but you are unimpressed. My guess is that you're more influenced by repeatedly reading on the phog that he can't throw than what he's actually shown.

He's limited in his attempts but 37 for 66 for 479 yards with 5 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. His QBR of 91.3 would have been second to Jayden Daniels, the Heisman trophy winner, if Johnson had enough reps to be qualified to be ranked. He's been phenomenal with his limited attempts, saying anything else is objectively incredibly difficult to prove.

I do.

you think VAR makes for a better entertainment product?

If they took away VAR, the next season everyone would be screaming to have it back.

I doubt it.

Rusty, this might legitimately be the hottest take ever on this board. You think missing obvious calls is more entertaining than getting it right?

The ubiquity of gambling makes the tolerance for missed calls even less than it was before the era of instant replay. To add to this var isn't going away anywhere else, it's stupid a.f. to think that English fans are going to not only tolerate but he happy with gigantic missed calls. Just today var had to overturn a goal in the city west ham match that was literally punched in. It was called a goal on the field. VAR obviously gets waaaaaayyyyy more right than they miss. Wolves sounded like whiny bitches and they won't get anymore than 5 clubs voting with them. This is a massive nonstarter.

odds that Kaluma returns?

Seems like he did well at the g league elite camp, but I haven't seen anything in a couple days.

Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

They invited the top two from the g league combine to the NBA combine and he wasn't one of the invites.

Dude thinks he can still host an AFTERNOON daily national sports talk radio show while running a division 1 basketball program.

LMAO seriously???

Yep. Some people will mention Vermont's previous head coach Tom Brennan also hosted a sports talk show, but he hosted a local morning drive time show. Gottlieb's show is 2-4 central, every week day. They just gonna not practice, recruit, or travel in the afternoon, like ever? Not to mention all the stuff you have to keep up with as a national talk show host. I have no issue with him coaching, this is stupid though.

I didn't think he had the humility to start at the appropriate level, good for him. I'd guess it will take one more jump up before a P5 job becomes viable though.

Humility, lol. Dude thinks he can still host an AFTERNOON daily national sports talk radio show while running a division 1 basketball program. I'm stunned that UWGB agreed to that, not stunned he lacks the awareness to attempt to do this.

Unless it's some weird 4 way tie situation cause of how many teams there are.

Well... It's going to happen, maybe not the Big 12 this season, but it's going to happen and probably somewhere every year until they get rid of the non division play with 80 team conferences. It's mathematically unavoidable.

RedBird IMI is an investment consortium majority funded by the United Arab Emirates. It is headed by former CNN CEO Jeff Zucker. FrontOffice Sports first reported on the event in March. An official announcement should land in the next 10 days, according to a source.

Broadcast rights are yet to be formally secured; the games are expected to be distributed on a streaming service instead of traditional linear television.

isn't this the LIV golf playbook ?  It's just Middle East oil money buying into an industry under the Player centric camouflage

Not really, no. That part of the article, about Redbird, is really misleading. Zucker definitely doesn't "head" Redbird, Gerry Cardinale and John Thornton are. Zucker is the CEO but he reports to several different people.

More to the point, LIV is owned and operated by the Saudi PIF. Redbird has no one from the UAE in their company or on their board, it's might be the whitest company in all of sports. The UAE money is simply investor funding to make them more liquid. Their money and power comes from a much scarier place, if the sanctity of sports means anything, Goldman Sachs.

I've already seen Redbird completely ruin my redsox. To see them turn their venture capitalist eyes towards college athletics is chilling. They couldn't be more removed from what the college sports fan wants, and they truly don't give one rough ridin' crap either. They're going to do to this what venture capitalists do to literally everything they touch. They'll act with the only goal of wringing every single dollar out of their investment, then will throw the shell of what's left in a ditch to die off.

Yep. He's a bonehead but definitely will also make big plays.

I hate this for so many reasons. Giving student athletes the chance to capitalize off of their own name, image, and likenesses was something that we needed generations ago. Of course all of the greedy people around sports saw NIL legislation as not a chance to right a wrong, but to line their own pockets regardless of the long and short term damage done to college athletics.

Like I know all this is frustrating and disheartening recently but my god the twitter reaction (and yes i know it's twitter, overreaction is the name of the game) is over the top. It sucks, but where have these bozos been when all the KITN of football recruiting was going on during the second part of the LHCBS part 2. Maybe they are too young to remember.

certain twitter accounts need to be banned from the app. ELON!!

specialteamsu is an embarrassment. I think the kid is still in college. The guys my age, from KU, who he's battling with, are worse. Grown ass men, with kids and a mortgage battling burner accounts on twitter is sad as eff.
