4 years 51 weeks ago You didn't even go back for

You didn't even go back for all the Teo Stuff?

4 years 51 weeks ago its the fact that ESPN let

its the fact that ESPN let him/ or planned for him to do this.  I don't see the benefit in this for ESPN.  You are a corporation with millions of customers, some of who you likely offended and for what gain exactly.

4 years 51 weeks ago He can have what ever beliefs

He can have what ever beliefs he wants.  However when you work for an organization like ESPN you should have the brains to not publicize beliefs that are likely to alienate a large portion of your viewership.

 

This post isn't political.  I'm sure other people voiced the same opinion Broussard did today.  They however don't work for a national sports network.  He should not have went on TV and attacked Collins's religious beliefs, which is exactly what he did.  

OTL is now trending on twitter.  I'm sure ESPN is thrilled.  

4 years 51 weeks ago Its his opinion, but ESPN

Its his opinion, but ESPN just offended a large portion of there audience by letting him go off like that.  I really hope ESPN didn't know he was going to do that. If they did that was a terrible business decision.  

4 years 51 weeks ago So was the original Collins

So was the original Collins thread and the Tebow thread.  

4 years 51 weeks ago Its a hate group.  The SPLC

Its a hate group.  The SPLC carries a lot more wait than you do.  You said it wasn't controversial.  It was.  Do you remember the Pepsi commercial from that year or the Coke commercial?  The SPLC is very well respected non profit organization that has spent decades fighting groups like the KKK.  They are also listed as a resource on hate groups by the FBI.  They also frequently partner with the FBI.  Don't act like they are some fringe political group.  They aren't.  You can't seriously believe that the FBI would partner with them if they were.

 

4 years 51 weeks ago Playoff fantasy Pool step on

Playoff fantasy Pool step on sportsnet's website if any of you would to join.  

3 F, 2D, 1G from each conference.  No draft, just login and make your picks for each round.

Group name: Mgoblog Pool

Password: denard

4 years 51 weeks ago  When you do an add for an

 When you do an add for an officially designated hate group its going to be controversial and it was.  If it wasn't everyone wouldn't rember it.  

4 years 51 weeks ago The he has one a playoff game

The he has one a playoff game is the dumbest argument ever made in sports.  It is a team sport.  The LS won a playoff game to you know.  

Both of those GMs have since been fired.

4 years 51 weeks ago If you think that wasn't a

If you think that wasn't a controversial commercial you are insane. His viewpoint happens to be one that tells other people how to live their lives.  The majority of Americans and world are strongly opposed to his viewpoint, so how exactly is is not controversial? 

Oh and that group who he did the advertisement is officiallly designated as a hate group. 

4 years 51 weeks ago Playing the everyone hates

Playing the everyone hates Christians card?  Really?  How about his history of supporting radical groups like the church he was going to speak at in the winter that has a history of spewing homophobic hatred and hatred towards all other religions (including other Christian religions).

Or simply the fact that people are sick and tired about hearing about an awful QB.

4 years 51 weeks ago The 12-6 TD ratio is

The 12-6 TD ratio is misleading.  He had 7 fumbles and a completion % of 46.5.  

4 years 52 weeks ago Jill Nill is leaving Detroit

Jill Nill is leaving Detroit to take over as GM of the Stars (TSN).

5 years 4 days ago Not like the ACC did they

Not like the ACC did they certainly didn't.   The ACC could have stated they were starting a network like the Big10 did instead of spouting off about their Grant of Rights. They started a network and announced that.  They did the same thing with the 50 million dollar exit fee and we know how that ended.  The Big10 starting a network is not even close to the same thing as the ACC announcing a Grant of Rights.  When the Big12 signed their grant of rights no one in the media was going on and on about how they would never lose another team like they are with the ACC now.

Regardless of any future realignment moves the ACC is the decidely 5th placed conference in a 4 team playoffs and is made up of almost half of the former Big East.

5 years 4 days ago I stated that other

I stated that other conferences also have them, however none of them made a point of trumpeting how iron clad is was.  Only the ACC felt the need to do that.  How enforceable does the ACC's 50 million dollar exit fee appear to be?  No one outside of the ACC League Office actually thinks they are getting 50 million out of Maryland.

5 years 4 days ago I doubt his is enforceable.

I doubt his is enforceable.  Just because the ACC says it is doesn't make it so.  The moresomeone screams that something is enforceable (which is in effect what the ACC is doing) the greater the chances are that they realize if someone challenges it that it  won't be.  How come you never hear the Big12, PAC12 or the Big10 flauting how similar agreements they signed make it impossible for them to leave?  This will meet the same fate as the ACC's lawsuit with Maryland will.

 

5 years 1 week ago Will he consider playing

Will he consider playing basketball as well as football in college?

5 years 2 weeks ago Penn State has nothing to do

Penn State has nothing to do with Kentucky.  Not sure where you are going with that.   My point was Louisville was under a lot of pressure to beat Kentucky and almost lost to a bad Kentucky team.

5 years 2 weeks ago Louisville has faced 1 kenpom

Louisville has faced 1 kenpom top 20 team in the tournament and they played that team with a huge home court advantage.  Michigan has faced 4, including Kansas which was basically a road game.  Louisville almost lost to a 9 seeded Wichita St. team that ended up in the final 4 because they were in a terrible bracket.  The pressure is all on Louisville.  This is a team that almost lost to their arch rival Kentucky at home and that was a terrible Kentucky team.

5 years 2 weeks ago Louisville got away with one

Louisville got away with one there.

5 years 2 weeks ago Too much celebrating from

Too much celebrating from Lousiville and their fans when they are a huge favourite.

5 years 2 weeks ago They are treating Russ Smith

They are treating Russ Smith like Zeller.

5 years 2 weeks ago Enjoying listening to Vitale

Enjoying listening to Vitale and Nessler here in Canada over Kellogg and Nantz.

5 years 2 weeks ago Darren Rovell said that one

Darren Rovell said that one of the O'Bannon lawyers along with some other NCAA people believe Ware is now ineligbile because of the stunt Louisville pulled with the t-shirts.

5 years 2 weeks ago Louisville is getting away

Louisville is getting away with everything, including two obvious travelling violations.  The officials are calling this game like a Big10 game involving Indiana.

5 years 3 weeks ago Oladipo and Zeller are gone

Oladipo and Zeller are gone in my opinion.  Harris can't stay healthy so he would be well advised to get paid while he can.

5 years 3 weeks ago The same UConn team that

The same UConn team that knocked them out of the Big East tournament and won the title.  Smart comment by Triche.

5 years 3 weeks ago She shouldn't.  If yahoo or

She shouldn't.  If yahoo or SI or really anyone had put there name beind it (and not just posted it on there webstie as a report) it would look a lot better.

Didn't a bunch of Auburn players accuse the school of wrongdoing a couple of years ago  an interview and then nothing happened (shocking!) ?  I remember something like that happening, but can't remember who did the interview.

5 years 3 weeks ago There is a reason she is no

There is a reason she is no longer working for the SI and is posting this stuff on some odd named website.  She has zero credibility after the hatchet job she did on the Duke lacrosse players.  She never even apologized for all the garbage she wrote.

5 years 3 weeks ago I think Auburn is dirty, but

I think Auburn is dirty, but consider the source.  It is Selena Roberts, she of Duke lacrosee fame.

5 years 3 weeks ago Oklahoma backup QB Drew Allen

Oklahoma backup QB Drew Allen is looking to transfer and is graduating in May.

5 years 3 weeks ago Any graduated QBs who have a

Any graduated QBs who have a year left and could play right away that we could take as a transfer?

5 years 3 weeks ago The top recruit in the

The top recruit in the country has yet to sign, sadly he is probably ticketed for FSU.

5 years 3 weeks ago I'd be more worried if we

I'd be more worried if we didn't have almost a week to prepare for it.

5 years 3 weeks ago Worst injury I've ever seen.

Worst injury I've ever seen.  Only thing even remotely comparable would be Shawn Livingston.

5 years 3 weeks ago Off topic, but Billy Donovan

Off topic, but Billy Donovan looks and sounds a lot like Henry Rollins.

5 years 3 weeks ago Beat Missouri by 33 at home

Beat Missouri by 33 at home and then turned around and lost @ Missouri. They are an entirely different team away from home and have had the easiest possible road for a 3 seed.  No team in the tournament has had it easier.

5 years 3 weeks ago Florida's only neutral court

Florida's only neutral court or road win over an at large teams was Minnesota.  There best road win as FSU.  They have no road wins over teams that were even on the bubble.

5 years 3 weeks ago Suck it Ohio!  

Suck it Ohio!  

5 years 3 weeks ago Beating a 9 seed MVC team

Beating a 9 seed MVC team doesn't top beating a #1 Kansas.

That last foul was imaginary.  No contact at all.

5 years 3 weeks ago One more on Thomas and he is

One more on Thomas and he is done.  Just drive the ball at him every time down the floor.

5 years 3 weeks ago These officials are treating

5 years 3 weeks ago Consider all the garbage Ohio

Consider all the garbage Ohio got away with in the Big10 they are due to have some calls go against them.

5 years 3 weeks ago If Thomas or Craft picks up a

If Thomas or Craft picks up a 3rd early in the 2nd they are in trouble.  yet another dumb Ohio foul.

5 years 3 weeks ago Thomas is acting like as ass

Thomas is acting like as ass trying to show up the officals.

5 years 3 weeks ago Miller is clearly cheering

Miller is clearly cheering for Ohio.

5 years 3 weeks ago Another stupid foul from OSU.

Another stupid foul from OSU.

5 years 3 weeks ago Bone head foul from Craft.

Bone head foul from Craft.  Everyone but the announcers seen that coming.

5 years 3 weeks ago 2-5 so far for the WCHA.  I

2-5 so far for the WCHA.  I think they broke the Pairwise code.  6 Teams in the tournament and you put in a perofrmance like that.

5 years 3 weeks ago Ohio seems like a team that

Ohio seems like a team that Louisville or Duke playing like they are right now would beat by about 20.

5 years 3 weeks ago He signed a 10 year 20

He signed a 10 year 20 million dollar extension 10 days ago.

5 years 3 weeks ago Mark Titus wrote some

Mark Titus wrote some predictions for todays games and one of them involved what Bill Self would say to Elijiah Johnson before the game.  Its hilarious.

Elijiah Johnson doing the Sidney Crosby move.

He should be gone and suspended.  Chris Paul got suspended for doing that at WF.

5 years 4 weeks ago Well seeing as Arizona is a

Well seeing as Arizona is a really good 3 point shooting team and Ohio as really bad at defending the 3 the chances of that happening are extremely low.

5 years 4 weeks ago Massive throw down from hill

5 years 4 weeks ago If Thomas goes cold Ohio is

If Thomas goes cold Ohio is dead

5 years 4 weeks ago The Iginla deal was a good

The Iginla deal was a good trade for the Pens, but he got killed on the Joe Morrow- Brendan Morrow trade.  Trading your best prospect for a broken down 3rd liner who has like 11 points in 30 games.  Douglas Murray had been terrible for the Sharks all year.  He's looked bad and the advanced stats agree with that assessment.

5 years 4 weeks ago Longer he stays there the

Longer he stays there the better.  He did grow up a Michigan fan so maybe when Beilein retires we take a shot at him.

5 years 4 weeks ago CBS has picked OSU, Indiana,

CBS has picked OSU, Indiana, and Michigan so far?  Have they picked the midwest region yet?

5 years 4 weeks ago 12's always do damage, though

12's always do damage, though Oregon should have been way higher.  Georgetown has a history of crashing out in spectacular fashion.

5 years 4 weeks ago Kansas is playing at home and

Kansas is playing at home and they will still have an advantage in the s16, but not nearly as much.

5 years 4 weeks ago Cuse will take down Indy.

Cuse will take down Indy.  Not going to get those calls in a road game.

5 years 4 weeks ago They will not have it against

They will not have it against Syracuse.  They will be the road team in that and Boehiem will get more respect then Crean from the refs.

5 years 4 weeks ago Oladipo hand checking like

Oladipo hand checking like crazy and no foul call.  A joke.

5 years 4 weeks ago I am not a believer in teams

I am not a believer in teams who have close calls early being better for it.  I believe you can only escape so many times.  I think Arizona takes down OSU and I give Syracuse a shot at beating Indiana as I don't invision Washington being a friendly envrironment for Indy.

5 years 4 weeks ago Big10 reffing only when

Big10 reffing only when Temple has the ball.  If someone breathes on a Hoosier they get called for a foul.

5 years 4 weeks ago A foul on Indiana!

A foul on Indiana!

5 years 4 weeks ago Zeller has to be the most

Zeller has to be the most hated player in college basketball.  Soft, always, complaining, and overrated.

5 fouls for Temple and 0 for Indiana.  That is a joke.

5 years 4 weeks ago Indiana expects home court

Indiana expects home court officiating no matter where they play.  Thankfully they aren't in the Indiana regional.

5 years 4 weeks ago Zeller=Adam

Zeller=Adam Morrison.

 

Indiana getting all the calls and stil complaining.

Oladipo getting schooled by Wyatt

5 years 4 weeks ago They have been, but I just

They have been, but I just can't trust teams with a poor offence to go far in the tournament.  At some point you are going to face a team that can score on you.  And after what happened to Gonzaga, Saint Louis, New Mexico, and Georgetown, momentum doesn't seem to mean much this year.  

5 years 4 weeks ago I am sure people said that

I am sure people said that about the Hoyas as well.  History has shown that winning a conference tournament isn't a predictor of tourney success.  Also have to remember that against Arizona they will basically be playing a road game with the regional being in LA.

5 years 4 weeks ago Really impressed by the job

Really impressed by the job Hoiberg has done at Iowa St.  People thought taking on all those transfers wouldn't work.

5 years 4 weeks ago By the look of Ohio if they

By the look of Ohio if they do survive Iowa St., they won't survie Arizona. Teams that can't shoot have not faired well so far (Georgetown, Wisconsin, Kansas St., Pitt, N.Mexico, UNLV)

5 years 4 weeks ago It proves if your opponent

It proves if your opponent nails 14 3's you are in trouble.  A lot of those were end of the shot clock heaves as well.

 

As far as OSU goes, Lyons is going to be  huge problem for them. Playing physical against him will not bother him in the least.

5 years 4 weeks ago Indiana St., WF, and GT say

Indiana St., WF, and GT say they are not.

5 years 4 weeks ago If Steve Adams doesn't

If Steve Adams doesn't declare for the draft he is going to be a beast and Pitt is going to contend.n

5 years 4 weeks ago Did you mean Virginia Tech

Did you mean Virginia Tech because I can't see any way Bennett is in trouble at Virginia?

5 years 4 weeks ago Great move by Pitt.

Great move by Pitt.

5 years 4 weeks ago Davidson, Ohio, VCU, and

Davidson, Ohio, VCU, and Florida Golf Coast.  Teams that have knocked the Hoyas out of the tourney in the last 5 years.  Thompson is a worse tourney coach than Bo Ryan.

5 years 5 weeks ago One in TSN's pool as well

One in TSN's pool as well (they run their's using ESPN's accounts).

http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en_CA/entry?entryI...

 

This one has 3 Big East teams in the Final 4.

5 years 5 weeks ago Teams like ohio that can't

Teams like ohio that can't score never have a free ride.  I could see ND/ISU upsetting them or defintely Arizona.

5 years 5 weeks ago Yes.  Way better conference

Yes.  Way better conference that usually gets and at large bid each year.

5 years 5 weeks ago I am still in shock every

I am still in shock every time I look at the East bracket.  It is a joke.  Weakest 3 and 6 seeds by far.  Weakest 4 seed.  One of the weakest #2 seeds.

5 years 5 weeks ago Not an upset, but K-State

Not an upset, but K-State takes out Wisconsin in the 3rd round.  I think NC St. could take down Indiana.

5 years 5 weeks ago I ended up with Gonzaga over

I ended up with Gonzaga over Indiana with Michigan and Duke also in the final 4.

5 years 5 weeks ago How is Oregon a 12?  I think

How is Oregon a 12?  I think Indiana is in trouble.  NC St. can take them out.

5 years 5 weeks ago Winning the conference

Winning the conference tournament counts for absolutely nothing, other then the additional games you won.  It is not a part of seeding criterita.  10 losses isn't getting a 3 seed in my opinion.  We are very likely to get a 3 seed.  I trust Palm over Lunardi. Plam works for CBS and I suspect has more access to the committee than anyone.

5 years 5 weeks ago 1. Yes 2. No 3. Seeding 4.

1. Yes

2. No

3. Seeding

4. Depends on what bowl Michigan is going to.

5.  Football.  Less teams have a realistic shot at winning it.  Win your conference and don't lose more than a game you are probably getting a spot in the playoff.

5 years 5 weeks ago Midd Tenn St. is going to be

Midd Tenn St. is going to be a really interesting case tomorrow.  Great record, but not much in it.  On the other hand the other bubble teams don't have much in the way of quality wins.

They Big10 will not get 3 2 seeds.  Wiscy maxes out at a 3.  10 loss teams don't get 2 seeds.  That just doesn't happen.  Also people tend to overrate conference tournament results.  The committee factors them in like regular games, no more no less.

They have an RPI in the mid 20s and it will stay there as a loss to Illinois isn't going to hurt them.  The team with the best RPI ever left out of the tournament from a power conference was Cincinatti and their RPI was #40 (2006).  Only one teams with an RPI in the 20s has ever been left out (Missouri St. 2006).

Both are locks.  League record is not a criteria the committee uses.  The Illini have two wins over one seeds in addition to wins over Butler, OSU, and Minny.

I think they have a shot, but in reality they are the number 8 team in the Big10.  5-9 against the top 100 isn't good.  

5 years 6 weeks ago Palm has them as an 8 seed.

Palm has them as an 8 seed.  They would have to fall to probably a 13 to be left out.  16 teams would have to pass them.  As long that RPI stays top 40 they would be fine and it will.  Look at who Kentucky, Tenn, St.Mary's, etc. have beaten. Those teams are on the right side of the bubble.  A bunch of the bubble teams are in the SEC so they are going to eliminate each other.  Who else would jump them? Maryland?  No chance.  Providence and St. John's probably will need to get to the Big East final.  Iowa is going to be in front of them.  They don't have the quality wins and they played a weak Big10 schedule.  Umass and Xavier probably need to get to the A10 final.

5 years 6 weeks ago They are a lock.  Top 25 RPI

They are a lock.  Top 25 RPI and #2 schedule from a power conference.  Teams like that never miss.  Virginia, who is also on the bubble, has 7 top 100 wins and some how 7 sub 120 losses.  They are not even close to the Gophers.

5 years 6 weeks ago Why?  Conference rankings are

Why?  Conference rankings are not a criteria for getting a bid and for good reason.  The 4 teams in the Big10 Iowa didn't play twice were: Michigan, MSU, OSU, and Illinois.  They have no claim to be ahead or even close to Illinois or Minnesota.

A bubble team at best?  Have you looked at who is near the bubble?  Most of those teams either have no good wins or a pile of bad losses.  13 top 100 wins, 3-5 against the top 20, only played 3 games against sub 200 competition.  They have beaten MSU, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin in conference.

The Georgetown bracket has a bunch of teams that can't score (Georgetown, Pitt, Wisconsin) and that usually isn't a recipe for success.  It also has Florida and Miami who are each lacking in big wins.  I think a healthy NC St. does damage in that bracket.

That website doesn't look to be to reliable to put it mildly.  As far as him being right about Cabrera, well a broken clock is right twice a day.  I highly doubt it takes 6 months to get test results back or that the Yankees would be offering Cano an extension if they knew he was going to be suspended (and there is no way this random guy would have better sources than the Yankees).  He could be right, but this guys loses nothing if he is wrong and looks great if he is right.  How many false realignment rumors have we seen the past 2 years from random twitter sources.

5 years 7 weeks ago The outcome of the Big10

The outcome of the Big10 title game does have bearing on seeding.  The committee has multiple scenarios mapped out depending on the outcome of the late title games.  It does not occur after the committee has made their decision.. How could it?  A team could make the final and be in a situation where the only way they get in is winning the autobid.

 

Beat Purdue and win the Big10 tournament and we get a 1 seed.

5 years 7 weeks ago Kansas has the TCU loss

Kansas has the TCU loss draggin them down, Miami has lost to Florida Gulf Coast, WF, and Indiana St. Georgetown lost to USF.  Most teams other than Duke and Indiana have bad losses.  Even Duke has the Virginia loss which isn't looking that great after they collapsed at BC.

5 years 7 weeks ago They are not going to be a 5

They are not going to be a 5 seed.  That is not happening. If they beat Indiana and get to the Big10 final they likely be a 1.  For one seeds you have Indiana, Duke/ Miami (1 not both), Gonzaga and after that Big10 #2 or Kansas likely.  Georgetown would have to run the table to be in the discussion and I don't see any chance of that happening.

They should consider using some kind of strength of schedule to break ties at the end of the season to determine conference tournament seedings.  Wisconsin missed both us and Indiana this year.  I expect they will be an early exit from the NCAA tournament.

5 years 7 weeks ago Him and Palm have a habit of

Him and Palm have a habit of making some suspicious last second changes to their brackets.  Yahoosports' big board to me looks pretty accurate and its also easy to read.  Lunardi yesterday had the Vols moving into the bracket after an awful loss to Georgia.  That is not in any way logical.  He has Alabama as the first team out.  No way that is correct.  The committee over the years has made it clear with the Pac12 that major conferences teams with nice records, but no good wins and alot of bad losses will not get the benefit of the doubt.

Appling has been absolutely terrible. 1-6, 2-4 FT, 0 assists and 2 TOs.

5 years 9 weeks ago I can't see both Miami and

I can't see both Miami and Duke getting one seeds and the Big10 only getting 1.  Miami plays at Duke and that game will either hand Duke another loss and remove them from the 1 seed conversation or knock Miami down so that the ACC tournament will likely decide which teams gets a one seed.

Miami barely escaped Clemson, BC and an injury depleted NC St.  Also the Indiana St. loss, which looked like it might not be a bad one, now looks like a bad loss.

My guess for the 1 seeds is 2 from the Big10, 1 from the ACC, and 1 out of Gonzaga, Big East, Florida, and Arizona.

5 years 9 weeks ago Yes Penn St. is awful but

Yes Penn St. is awful but Wisc only beat them by 9 at home and Iowa, who is a decent team, almost lost to them twice.  Great performance from GR III.  OSU getting destroyed at Wiscy.

5 years 10 weeks ago I bet Indiana and OSU

I bet Indiana and OSU consider Illinois a tough place to play.  How tough a road environment also depends on how good the opponent is.  For instance Miami is not someone who has an arena that is tough to play in, but if say Virginia goes in there in  a couple of weeks and wins everyone will consider that a great road win.  

5 years 10 weeks ago I did not say at the same

I did not say at the same level, but Indiana and OSU (who Illinois beat by 19) showed Illinois isn't an easy place to play.   Wisconsin, OSU , and Indiana were the 3 toughest road games, but they were not by any means the only tough road games.The Big10 has 7 teams that are basically tournament locks.  Michigan is 2-3 against them,  3-2 without a fluke shot at the buzzer.  Illinois is no train wreck.  They have wins over the #1 team, @ #5, #11 on a neutral court, and Minnesota.  

5 years 10 weeks ago The pressue will be on Sparty

The pressue will be on Sparty tonight as they are leading the Big10 as of right now.  They haven't faced that kind of pressure yet this year and we have seen what the pressure of being #1 in the country has done to teams and we seen K-State get hammered last night by their rival when they were in first place in the Big12.  Marquette was in first in the BigEast and they proceeded to lose to Georgetown.  Arizona regained first place over Oregon and promptly lost at home to Cal.

5 years 10 weeks ago Indiana and OSU both lost at

Indiana and OSU both lost at Illinois and we beat Illionois by 14.  MSU lost at Minnesota and we won there.  OSU doesn't visit Minnesota and Indiana and Wisconsin still have to.  Saying we are 0-3 in tough road environments is not correct.

5 years 10 weeks ago Miami's 2 best wins were Duke

Miami's 3 best wins  are MSU at home, Duke at home without Kelly and at NC St. by a point without their PG.  They lost by 12 to Florida Golf Coast and got destroyed by Arizona on a neutral court.  The ACC is awful.  Its Miami, Duke, NC St. and the other team that looks to be near the bubble is Virginia, who lost to 3-21 ODU and two other mid pack CAA teams.  They also beat BC by a point.  I fully expect Miami to lose at Duke.

There is no tie-breaker for the Big10 title.  Big10 will get 2 one seeds almost certainly, likely us and Indiana.  Our schedule left is very favourable.  It is going to be nearly impossible for the committee to forget the Kansas loss to Duke or Miami losing to Florida Golf Coast (though I think Duke destroys them and ends any thought of them being a 1 seed anyway.  There NC St. and Duke wins have major astericks on them).
