Fucking Denver, man

 

My personal opinion is that…

My personal opinion is that John Beilein is the best basketball coach in the history of the sport.

Not best recruiter, not best personality, not the biggest name.

But if you're looking for the best person to coach a basketball team, there aren't many I'd consider ahead of Beilein.

Is that a male plane?

Is that a male plane?

you're being pedantically…

you're being pedantically obtuse.

The offisides rule is intended to remove cherry-picking by ensuring that the guys with the puck is 1st/tied for 1st into the scoring zone, not hanging out by the goalie all day. Being a half centimeter offsides doesn't mean that team had an unfair advantage in any way. The off-puck player still was basically even with the puck as it entered the zone.

These are the insane things about about replay, going back to "process of the catch" in football that I can't stand. Or zooming in to zapruder the tape of an elbow that may have grazed a single blade of grass. The point isn't to be handcuffed to the minute letter of the rule for the sake of upholding the rule just for the rule's sake. If it's so godammed close that we have to pause for 4 mins, go back in time, measure with a micometer and a magnifying glass, well what the hell are we doing here man? 

The puck entered the zone at the same time as the 1st player. Or at least close enough (at deemed by the refs BTW) that no advantage was gained. Let's play the fucking game.

I suspect this is a result…

I suspect this is a result of having 350+ DI programs. You can get a HC job at 30 in hoops, but it'll be at SW Conneticuit St. Now, you can have that success and have a quick turn around, but that will get you to like, the MAC or the MAAC. Now, from there you can advance to an low level P5 like GT or PSU and THEN you can get to a top 30 program. But that takes like 15 years of pretty sustained success across at least 2, likely 3 or even 4 programs. But UConn, KU, UK, etc won't take a 35 y/o guy just b/c get turned SW Conneticuit St from 5-25 to 25-5 in 4-5 years.

In football you can go from GA to  position coach to coordinator and then there are 125 programs so to HC so by age 35 right to like UBuffalo or Nevada for 5-6 years and by 40-45 you're a candidate for almost any program.

I'm rooting for this if only…

I'm rooting for this if only to see UNC (and to a lesser extent NCSt, Duke, Wake) absolutely shit themselves.

The ACC is known as the "All Carolina Conference" to the rest of the league, so it would be funny watching the good 'ole boys that ran themselves into the dirt freak out and likely circle the wagons around UNC, UVa, Duke, and the leftovers from the Pac12 of all places.

They were 2-22 just 3 years…

They were 2-22 just 3 years ago (0-18 in conference play!) and now they’re a 1/2 seed in the tournament and Big 12 champs. I’m sure he used transfers to usher in this turn around, ...

I'm not sure why there's a down side here re: using transfers in today's environment.

Much easier to get in these days to MSU (85% admit rate), and MUCH MICH harder to get into UM (18% admit rate).

This was my exact experience. They are basically loose hinges which is a blessing at this point (46). It probably won't be quite the same again, but then again from age 15-45 I sprained each ankle so many times I still walk focused on not stepping to trun an ankle.

I think 14 or 16 teams is too much and 14 is just a temp bridge to 16.

But if they do this, the conf title games need to go away. Byes are incentivising the teams to win title games, but w/o that it's an extra game that a good team has a chance to either drop out of the playoff or lose significant seeding. I don't think home sites for a round or two are enough incentive.

Pandering.

Yeah, the idea that Bama is…

Yeah, the idea that Bama is somehow better than OSU is COMPLETE bullshit.

Both have 1 loss.. to a #1 team (current or former)

At least OSU actually won their non con game in south bend.

If Bama got in, why didn't OSU?

The problem is, and no one…

The problem is, and no one ever says this, is that NO ONE KNOWS WHO'S THE BETTER TEAM. Opinions are what they are. You don't KNOW you're right. I don't KNOW you're wrong. 

Given the above, the bullshit that you're aiming for, "who's the best team" is nothing more than that: bullshit. opinion. speculation. heresay. a guess.

You KNOW what we DO KNOW?

  • That FSU is 13-0 in a P5 conf.
  • That includes X wins over ranked teams (current or former).
  • It includes a Conf Champ Game win.
  • AND it includes a neurtral site win vs another P5 ranked team (LSU). 

All this is to say that the ONLY thing we actually know is the RESULTS OF THE FUCKING GAMES.
