This article insinuates Kam will be ready for the WVU at Morgantown.  Given Diarra's turnover lapses this might be good to have Kam off the bench.  I am sure they will limit his minutes at first.  What about a line up of Wade, Kam, Brown, Mawein, Diarra with Sneed off the bench?

As starters no, imo. Still more options are better and Diarra's experience bump is a huge + for the PG position if Kam, Brown, or Sneed get foul trouble.

I love this break down.. would be fun to do it with coaches. That would show what long term impact a coach has in a program. I'll be waiting for your report.

Anybody in on PUBG (PLAYERUNKOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS)?

So addictive.

I'm into it. It works well because I don't have the time to really build up a ranking with other games. I enjoy that I can hop on once a week and still be able to compete with the players who are on daily. Still need to invest in a headset so I can do squad.

Yeah same here.. are you on PC or One?

I've never owned a PC that could handle that type of game. I learned about PUBG from friend who just built his own high powered computer for gaming (so high powered that he uses it to mine cryptocurrency while he is at work). His refresh rate (or whatever it would be called) is so good that he can see in complete detail all of the buildings on the ground from the moment he jumps out of the plane. 

All that being said I play on the One. Every now and again it will kick me out and I have to go through the main screen to jump back in the game. One thing I have noticed with that is that when I load it back in the game has moved me to the corner of a wall or room as if to help protect me while I log back in. Otherwise I enjoy the crap out of it.

They have fixed this quite a bit since it was released but when it kicks you out whatever movement you were doing continues until you get back in. So you basically continue in a straight line until you run into something.

How does it compare to Fortnight?  I am super good at Call of Duty Hardcore, because it’s one shot one kill for the most part.  I suck at Fortnight because I have trouble shooting someone 800 times to kill them.

Never played fortnight but PUBG is more realistic and I would guess more complex in the controls. Call of Duty Hardcore would be a pretty good comparison except you don't respawn. Up to 100 players in a match and it's last man/squad standing wins. Headshots are instakills and others take a few rounds.  You loot gear, meds, and weapons so everyone starts at the same level. Gear are things that reduce damage helmets, body armor. Meds are damage repair and boosts that build your health back over time. Weapons have different attachments like scopes, silencers, and extended mags.

I've never played a game that is more intense and panic inducing.

Woolyball returns.  Soft, no identity.  Shitty on the road.  Worst team defense since Wooldridge. 

This team is really difficult to enjoy, even against horrible competition.

That is all.

I don't think Gip will let that happen.. If you haven't noticed, he can get pretty intense when things aren't going well, and that wears off on the others.

soil judging aggie is upset that our athletic department has computers with video editing capabilities.

You're probably the one that thinks Furious 7 will be a good movie. MODS can we change TCUHornedFrog's name to TCaliU for better recognition of this posters caliber?

if you don't love the cats then get out of this thread

clams' keys to the game-
-need shitloads of tight spirals delivered in an unmerciful fashion
-a shitload of "special" plays
-just have fun!
-defense with an attitude
-all american type play from cats
-wrap them up on defense

41-17 KATS
-thoughts?

I personally would add
-a shitload of pressure on Knight
-a shitload of Charles Jones

I'm #1cat all the way. A natty in football would beat the World Series for me, and that does not diminish my feelings towards the World Series at all.


Gonna win 'em all!

I'm with you on this one. I'm just as wrapped up in the Royals as anyone else but if you give me the choice, there's no doubt.

Doppelganger?

Kats sweater -- Check
Kats sweater at a game where the Kats are not playing -- Check
Nobody around him that seems to know him -- Check

The only thing that's missing is his radio. It's gotta be him right?

Foam finger?

Ahh you're right and didn't he have an old washed out purple hat? That one looks to new unless it is from a previous bowl game that he got from Bill since that stuff is no longer allowed on the side line.

Yeah but they did that to match the rest of the campus architecture and keep the Romanesque theme of simple round arches with heavy load bearing walls. The arch was first utilized to it's full potential during that style period.

A professor of mine, by the name of Mick Charney, went into great detail about how a majority of universities use Gothic Architecture because it is considered the pinnacle of architectural/intellectual  achievement. It is considered this way because Gothic Architecture built upon the Romanesque style of simple arches and reached farther into the skies with pointed arches. He loved that K-State did not prescribe to that train of thought and stylistically considered college education to be the foundation for achieving a lifetime of intellectual achievement.

K-State wins again.

Charney makes K-State sparkle. A dazzling professor who is a certified stud/boss.

Looks like populous gave us the Yankee Stadium treatment. I assume they did the new Yankee stadium because the front facade is pretty similar. Anyone else notice that?

Now we play the reliever with runners on base.

This is why I hate Yost. Lets try a little league steal play with our slowest guy, oh ya then lets bring in a starter instead of leaning our proven relievers.
