    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    Will we have $900K in revenue from this game? I agree that GT should respect every opponent. But, as fans, it is OK to have realistic expectations. West Ga is playing their 1st season in D1 and their roster has a bunch of carryovers from DII.

    I won't measure anything by what happens in this game.

    Another five set win for the Jackets at UNC. Tech was up 2-0, dropped the 3rd & 4th sets, fell behind in the 5th, then stormed back again today. This team has mental toughness in abundance.

    Pro Bama: They would get some consideration with four losses. They're Bama. Tennessee has the tie breaker over Bama, but the Vols still have to play uga. A win or close loss probably gets them in. A big loss and that Arkansas upset might be a bad sign for them. If Bama wins out (they have a...

    The 1st CFP rankings will be published on Tuesday evening. Don't be surprised to see them omit Clemson from consideration. Miami and SMU could finish the regular season undefeated and play for the ACC championship. I cannot see either being left out now if that happens. Texas A&M eliminated...

    It's really a head scratcher when you think about baseball in Miami. South Florida has by far the greatest participation in youth baseball in the country. The game is played year round and thousands kids of wear Marlins jerseys and caps. My nephew played every year from the time he was 6 years...

    The Marlins would be last in MLB attendance if it weren't for the Rays in St. Pete.

    As an ACC fan I don't few this as good news. Miami is not a big sports town.

    Otene can be dominant at times. She was on last night. A win like that comes from way down deep in the team's true character. Collier should be very proud.

    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    If you are correct, DO will get lots of minutes this year. That said, this is West Georgia. East Georgia might create a bigger burden on him. I like Lance starting. Even it's just to show respect. I expect McCollum to be in that spot soon. Absolutely. I might add Sutton to this list in a few...

    What music are you listening to?

    A friend has an hour of what he calls eclectic music each week as a DJ on WRGY radio in Maine. I have been putting a list of potential songs for him. This is one of them.

    2024-25 season predictions.

    If we are 11-3 on Jan 1 (losing to Cincinnati, UNC and Duke) I think we will be in good shape to make a run at the tournament. If we lose to ND or Oklahoma or uga or Northwestern it could be a year much like last year. If have those 11 wins plus an upset over one of those three ranked teams...

    2024-25 season predictions.

    I agree about Baye. But that pretty much applies to all our front court guys. No significant injuries there. Please. I hope the the death of Mutombo's father and Mustaf's father doesn't keep them away from the team for an extended period. This could be a tough time for those young men to think...

    Same here. If 11 state guys played, I imagine CDS unloaded his bench as well. Winning might me important in an exhibition game with fans and media around to hype the results, good coaches don't try to "win" a practice game.

    We expected Duke to be good this year, but how good is the question. Is Arizona State this bad? https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024/10/duke-arizona-state-mens-basketball-game-recap-jon-scheyer-bobby-hurley-cooper-flagg-khaman-maluach-kon-knueppel-caleb-foster
