Date Title Body
1 day 7 hours ago I remember seeing something on MGo when

This first happened that claimed that Fox (partial owner of the BTN) was going to package this with the YES network in the NYC area to assure that it was required as part of the basic cable package.



I don't know if this was fact or conjecture. Anyone know the deal with this?

2 days 21 hours ago Didn't read the link above, but

given when Strong Belwas was introduced into the Daenerys storyline in the books (at the same time as the ex-kingsguard guy..I'm bad with names) I am guessing that they are omitting him from the TV show. 

1 week 5 days ago Did I miss Avery

In the above? I would think he has to be at least your 3rd option at corner or backup nickel right? Or do you just feel that Thomas has that position on lock-down barring injury?

2 weeks 8 hours ago Simpsons

Did it

2 weeks 1 day ago Re-read the post above

And see if you want to amend your comment.



SPOILER - Bray declared for the draft not the other guy.

4 weeks 4 days ago I know we note "interest"

from other schools non-offering schools on our recruits - particularly those not fitting the 4-star mold, but the way this Spartan article was written screamed inferiority complex to me.  Maybe I am just seeing what I expect to see.. I cannot find it so I cannot link it - sorry.

4 weeks 4 days ago Speaking or inferiority complexes

spurred by the media.  MSU just picked up a DT commitment from the Chicago Area.  I clicked a link to a Spartan media source that noted that in addition to having offers from Syracuse, Cinci, and Arizona (still beating RR for recruits!) and others, the recruit had received VISITS from both Hoke and Meyer in January.  Why was that even worth noting in a Spartan news source?

4 weeks 4 days ago Here's hoping it was Mo Ways

Had to do something to keep himself busy in East Lansing until after the Sparty spring game.



Then it's off to Ann Arbor to commit to Hoke.

4 weeks 6 days ago Sales pitch

I would also guess that Coach B. used playing opportunities at their 'natural' NBA position as a selling point for them to return for another year.

6 weeks 1 day ago Poor defense on the Hancock 3s

I am not an expert but it seemed that they did a "hard hedge" on the screen and both times Hancock took advantage of the "gap" when the big headed back to his man. How else could they have defended this? Both times it did look awkward just before he took the shot.

6 weeks 1 day ago You strike me as the kind of person

that would win a $200MM lottery and be primarily bummed that there was a 2nd winning ticket.  Enjoy the return to relevance of M basketball and hope for the best in the future.

6 weeks 1 day ago Creating an account just to troll

I admire your little brother-ness.  Or maybe you aren't a Sparty, since Refs are the ONLY reason MSU ever loses at Football or Basketball.  Go to bed kid.

6 weeks 1 day ago I don't think you count so good

WORST case is Trey, Timmy, and GRIII gone after this year.  McGary already said he is coming back and Stauskas hasn't even played in the late stages of the last 2 games because his defense and decision making need work.  I am hopeful we see GRII back, but guess TH is gone.

6 weeks 4 days ago If not posted elsewhere..

You want to be as close to the dome as possible watching the game if you don't have tickets.  You will be able to pick up tickets for the final game for a song from the losing teams' fans as they exit.

6 weeks 5 days ago I think he has a point...

"This is Minnesota, fer-god-sakes!" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

7 weeks 9 hours ago One issue with that lineup

Is that we wouldn't have Spike (or was it LaVert?) without the spot opened by metrics - otherwise I would have lived to have him this year

7 weeks 2 days ago It is very difficult to transfer

Into M from a JC. This is why you haven't seen any on the team for years.

7 weeks 3 days ago If Michigan wins today

The conference will have roughly performed to their seeding - which was the best of the majors.



Remember: (1) best conference does not equal best teams. (2) "Luck" affects all conferences. Marquette should have been out in round one - actually needing "help" from the other team to pull it out (3) Several experts noted pre-NCAA that really only IU and M truly had the athletes be serious title contenders. (This was BEFORE they saw the easy draw that OSU squandered)



If anything, I feel it is the Big East that was over-rated or given the sympathy as part of its "farewell tour" - ND, Pitt, and G'town all performed far below their seeds and only 3 of the 8 teams made it to the 2nd weekend, most losing in round 1 iirc. (I refuse to call the play-in games round 1)

8 weeks 12 hours ago Thanks for the update

Per the 247 comment - the topic was started by Steve Lorenz aka Tremendous who seemed pretty reliable before moving to 247, which is why I thought it might have some legs.

8 weeks 22 hours ago Side note - Anyone know what the "news" is with Kyle Berger?

Can't read the premium info on 247 but the non-premium posts seems to indicate something (very?) good.



And yes, I know it will make it on the board eventually but I find myself impatient re: SAM Lbs after the past week.

8 weeks 22 hours ago DiNardo is clearly a moron.

Everyone knows recruiting rankings DON'T matter as long as you "coach 'em up".



/boom Sparty-ed

8 weeks 1 day ago Corner is easier than safety for a Frosh

to pick up, which is why Dymonte starting as a Frosh - no matter how talented - is a less than ideal situation. On the other hand, corner is one of the easiest positions to pick up (at least man coverage).



I believe that playing/practicing corner gives Dymonte the ability to build his cover skills and learn the overall defense while minimizing the risk if he is forced into early PT.



We have several guys that are on their 3rd year in this defense listed at safety. If Dymonte rises to the top of the depth chart, it probably bodes very ill for our safety capabilities this season.



-- I am no expert but have seen this discussion several times previously on this and other M boards.

8 weeks 4 days ago I think you need a new one

Concur /= conquer

8 weeks 4 days ago Parity

/the more you know

8 weeks 4 days ago If Kansas loses

and KSU already losing - that arena will be a ghost-town on Sunday.

9 weeks 4 days ago Best part of this entire list

is the "RS" in DG's line.

 

EDIT: I notice that no "RS" shows for Countess yet.  Should we start dozens of threads about it until it happens? 

9 weeks 5 days ago Uhh....

I actually think quite the opposite. I believe Coach B and his system evolved from having under-talented teams and he is struggling adapting to the increased talent. I.e it is a better plan to run a 2 man screen game with your best player(s) while the others wait for an open 3 when you don't have a depth of talent.



I had higher hopes for this team, but you can see the huge opportunity for improvement from the frosh next year both in defense (GR3 and Nik) and physical development (laVert and MM- he's a natural beast but look at his muscle tone compared to GR3)



It's just too bad Trey won't be here next year.

9 weeks 5 days ago So - 3-seed

2 days extra rest/practice



Best case scenario was a 2 seed even if we won out.



/end bright side look



I hate Wisconsin/Bo Ryan

9 weeks 5 days ago Anyone think Oladipo will go pro

After this year?



It would be nice to not have to face IU with him next year.



Also - that swagger really makes someone look like a douche when they aren't on your team.

12 weeks 11 hours ago I see more Chewbacca..
