Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: ExBruces 2015-16

IN my search for Brucey quotes, I found this:

Quote
Gasaway said he was asked earlier this season by Kansas State coach oscar Weber why his team ranked so low in the computer ratings.

“I thought he was asking why are we so low in KenPom, and come to find out he was really asking why are we so low in the RPI, which is a much different answer,” Gasaway said.

Leave it to oscar to ask John Gasaway why he's ranked low in RPI

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1556819-the-ken-pomeroy-effect-how-advanced-metrics-have-revolutionized-ncaa-basketball

"To the advanced stats community, associating a site like KenPom.com with the RPI (Ranking Percentage Index)  is like comparing a chef’s work to a cook’s at McDonald's."

To some connoisseurs nuggets are a delicacy.

OH GOD  :rolleyes: so is 2015-16 kenpom Wichita State the chef's burned steak still sent out to the customer?

"Family Portrait"

Uh, uh, some deep crap, uh, uh

Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you said

You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave

Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound

Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says its true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love you, too

I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have no choice, no way
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don't want love to destroy me like it did my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave

In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a step-brother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally


In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so naturally
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave)

Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Turn around please
Remember that the night you left you took my shining star?
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Don't leave us here alone

Mom will be nicer
I'll be so much better, I'll tell my brother
Oh, I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better, I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night

What's wrong with the picture?

I have two daughters, I assure you that there will never ever ever be a picture taken of my teenage daughter sitting in my lap wearing a mini skirt stroking my face. I don't think that he is bonking his daughter or even wants to but if you scour the internet looking for a similar picture of someone else you won't find one and there's a reason for that.

Seriously though, I'd be curious to hear MIR's explanation for why black people are supporting Hillary so overwhelmingly over Bernie.

I was losing my rough ridin' mind. Donna Brazille made the astute point that black people in Michigan don't vote like black people in Mississippi but they essentially ignored her and and were like "nah all coons are the same, they decided at the meeting that they would back newly Southern Black Baptist Hillary."

i mean they voted for her a little less.  but they still voted overwhelmingly for clinton. 

KSUW, we are largely talking about southern black people. Southern black people, just like southern white people tend to be more conservative so southern democrats are evangelical moderates, Hillary is the moderate in the race. I don't know this but I feel like southern blacks are more provincial than northern and western blacks and there are people that see her and bubba as southern although I am more southern than she is and I hate the south.  It is frustrating to me that things like mass incarceration of blacks aren't sticking to the Clintons like they should. It is also stunning that out of Sunday nights debate we heard chatter about Bernie Sanders ghetto comment but we didn't hear a damn thing about Hillary's clunky and transparently disingenuous answer to the question about the role God plays in her life. She has spent the better part of two months talking to people in southern black churches and she can't clearly identify the role God plays in her life.

Sys, yes she did do well with blacks in Michigan but it is worth noting, in the south and everywhere else for that matter that the black voting block is largely comprised of women. Black men were statistically insignificant in the CNN Michigan exit polling data, because the Clintons put most of us in jail amirite! I think the numbers of black people supporting Bernie would be stronger if like, with white people, black men had equal representation within the voting block of the race. The woman also explains why Hillary is polling better with southern blacks than Obama did in 2012, that and Edwards was still around the race when the south was in play.

Rumors are swirling that Rubio's internal polling shows he will lose Florida badly, and he may suspend his campaign today or tomorrow. I think there's a good chance he does so, but I'm not at all sure he's going to cut a deal with Cruz. Again, he's just not worth much to Cruz at this point.

Cruz's better path, as I've said, is cut a deal with Kasich.

Yeah, Trump is kicking his ass in polling but he's beating Cruz, and we know how much Rubio loves finishing in second place. No one is cutting any deal with Cruz, they can't stand him.

we'll see what happens in idaho, but so far cruzmentum looks like an artifact of small sample size.

What? It looks like another very solid night for him. He's made the case this week that he's the only guy who can go toe to toe with Trump



He's got that distant second position ON LOCK!

I really don't understand why Republicans refuse to get behind Trump. It seems they hate him more than Hillary. If I were a republican I'd go throw Ted Cruz in a swamp somewhere because Hillary will kick the ever loving crap out of him. There isn't a single independent or Reagan Democrat that is going to vote for Cruz, not a damn one. If by some freak accident Trump loses, would take his death at this point, the establishment will turn on Cruz too. He is benefiting now because he doesn't yell at women reporters and his supporters aren't beating people up. In a general when it is all about policy he will get housed.

Dems in the GREAT STATE OF MISSISSIPPI love them some HFP2016

Yep, all 63 of them. Hillary whippin ass in these deeply red states but doing jack crap in blue and purple states is clearly the best path to nomination and ensuring a huge democrat turnout in November.

27259
Don't have the exact quote but yes, and emphasizing Bernie hasn't done well with them.

Are black people anti-Semites?

Yep, every single one. That one was decided at the meeting on September 7, 1977. This is known by the negro underground as the 9-7 compact.

MIR was watching CNN and you wouldn't like what they said about Hillary's victory in MS

I was losing my rough ridin' mind. Donna Brazille made the astute point that black people in Michigan don't vote like black people in Mississippi but they essentially ignored her and and were like "nah all coons are the same, they decided at the meeting that they would back newly Southern Black Baptist Hillary."

(Regardless of political affiliation)

Well, I'm assuming that republicans are more likely to be religious. I could be wrong though. I'm just saying it could make sense.

I quoted you to affirm your point. The assumption that Republicans are more likely to regularly attend church services is likely correct, so the next assumption that there are more republicans giving in church is reasonable. But many republicans won't concede that it's possible to be a democrat and to attend church. I still contend that the "fact" that Republicans give more is total crap and there's a reason why there's no concrete evidence of it being so.

http://news.rice.edu/2012/05/31/liberals-versus-conservatives-how-politics-affects-charitable-giving/

Jesus, I wonder how much time and money they wasted on that? I'm not sure it's possible to have a study confirm something that is more deeply rooted in common sense.

Don't forget to consider that Republicans are also on the average much better off than Democrats and therefore have the means to even be able to give charitably.

Can we discuss that he clearly feels some pressure either internal or otherwise? If he felt ultimate security he wouldn't be trying to justify his existence whenever a mic is in front of his face.

Monmouth will be in the field. It's been mentioned before, but the committee has to find 36 teams worthy of an at large bid. That means there will be several mediocre teams that get in.

FWIW... They have a better resume than Wichita State. 10-4 vs. the RPI top 150 and 17 wins away from home.

The away form home record is the only thing that can save them.

The only thing that can save them? It's an amazing stat, to beef up their schedule to make an at large resume they played one home non conference game, one.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: 2016 Big 12 Awards
« on: March 08, 2016, 08:56:44 PM »
The conference as a whole is going to take a big step back next year. 13 of the 28 players who received all conference recognition were seniors.

That doesn't sound like an unusually high number, especially if you add in early entries which we'll likely have none this season.


Last year 9 seniors made the list, and the year before that only 7. The Big 12 was a very old league this year.

If Morris, Taylor declared the big 12 should take a pretty good step back. If not I think it can stay a top 3 league.

It will stay a top league because of the coaches.

27269
why on earth would we be worried about the overall performance of a match in March? :confused:

Did I draw any further conclusions from what happened on Sunday? I went back and read but I couldn't find anything maybe you could help me.

You guys are being weird about my conclusion that we looked like crap in the second half. Anyone want to say they were happy with how we  looked in the second half?

I also need a timeline point of clarification, but don't Christians believe Jesus was kicking it before Plato? How would he have any opinion about government?

Not sure if I understand the question, but Plato was way before Jesus. Many people think early Christian authors actually read Plato.


Yeah, Jesus lived within the Roman Empire.

Really? I did not know this, it's odd that this was so recent within the context of world history yet there is so much debate about what happened and what didn't.

Republicans give more - and it's not even close....http://downtrend.com/robertgehl/republicans-most-generous-people-in-the-world-democrats-not-so-much

So because people who live in Utah give more than people in other states we're supposed to think that Republicans give more than Democrats, and "It's not even close?" Sounds legit.

Please feel free to retort with a resource that indicates that Democrats give more than Republicans...

I would never be stupid enough to assert such a thing. Most people don't disclose their voting predilections when giving to charity.

27275
Yea I hate that common sense has gone out the window and they have to add netting because of it. If you have close seats pay attention to the rough ridin' game. If you have children, either don't sit close or teach them to pay attention to the rough ridin' game.

The woman nearly killed at Fenway wasn't on her phone, they need to extend the nets like at The K. I hope they don't wait until someone dies like what happened in the NHL.
