Kansas State Basketball is hard / Re: Squawks part 1 2025

That 14-0 start really biting the cats in the ass.

That's the traditional start for the Cats at Allen.  It would be unusual for them not to be down double digits 2 minutes into the first half.

Cats followed the AFH script perfectly (although the 14-0 run happened straight out of the gate instead of in the middle of the first half). Get down big. Get exhausted cutting the lead to single digits, Hawks come up with another big run and cruise to an effortless win, rinse and repeat every year.

Need a new hot water heater. Current tank is 60 gallons. A 75 gallon won’t fit & thru don’t make 60s anymore. I really don’t want to go down & I’ve heard tankless are a PITA.

We got a Navien tankless heater about 2 years ago. It has been awesome. Unlimited hot water and no more fights about who used up all the hot water. I'm amazed at how efficient they are. The exhaust pipe is PVC that is cool to the touch even during heavy use. Just make sure you have it installed by an experienced plumber/dealer.

I've had to replace hot water twice and both times the experienced plumber talked me out of tankless and/or why it would be a PITA to install the new exhaust, etc. Just punted and went with good ole tank o hot water.

We have probably the world's best plumber. He's our house's best friend. The day we moved into our house, we found an unexpected leak in the house that was slowly flooding the living room. He came out on a Saturday morning (on his way to the golf course) and isolated the the pipes that were causing our leak so we could use the rest of the plumbing in the house. They've been out so many times to clean out clogs, fix stuff various stuff in our 60+yo house over the years. The tankless heater install was probably their crowning achievement. It's a good feeling to have a great plumber on your house's side.

Started studying for the jeopardy test. Plan on taking my test around the first of the year next year.

That's awesome. Good luck.

In related news, I got a Jeopardy desk calendar for Christmas. Some of the questions seem really pud.

Good looking class for us... lots of international kids + impact transfers + some Kansas kids.

Looks like they're going for jumps, multis and middle distance, which I think is a good formula for the program's success.

Does J Glenn have the possibility of another year left with the team? It seems like she has elevated her play significantly this season. What are B Glenn's plans?

Barring any NCAA changes (who the hell knows), J Glenn is out of eligibility. B Glenn has one more year left presuming she maintains her redshirt this year. I have no idea if she will come back. But, if she does, there's a crapload walking out the door and Mittie's always liked having plenty of combo guards.

Thanks

Is it possible to build a good program by developing high school guys in the portal era? David Castillo, Buddy Rich and Taj Manning are the only guys on the roster who were brought in out of high school, correct?

Is there anyone posting who wouldn’t add Greenland if the citizens of Greenland wanted to? 

Let’s do it.  The only hold up seems to be if the president is a bitch but we know that’s not possible.

I don't think we can afford to buy it from Denmark

We are already sending Denmark like 15% of our GDP for Ozempic.

anyone know where this team would show up on a playhard chart?  i admittedly haven't watched much

Bad, they are also very lazy. At least the "leaders" are.

This is a function of bad coaching, right?

I'm pretty pissed that science has possessed the key to curing every disease known to man since 1987 and yet people (including medical professionals and their loved ones) are still getting sick and dying from all kinds of diseases day after day.

Where is gE opinion at these days on the question of whether or not Tang is a good basketball coach?
The 22-23 team did a lot of the things that well-coached teams do -- win games in OT, get points out of timeouts and BLOB plays, etc. Was that just a function of catching lightning in a bottle with Johnson + Nowell?
This team doesn't show any signs of good coaching. What gives?
