I hear you on the 9pm tip offs, but every team deals with that. It doesn’t factor into why GT attendance sucks so bad.

I also thought the crowd Saturday for BC was good. Much better than normal so far, except for Duke of course. I was surprised when I the checked the box score and it was only around 5k. I thought it was more. Then I was bummed for the loss, for multiple reasons, but for one because I knew it...

Ouch. Our attendance is painfull. Worst in the ACC before the expansion teams join. Also worse than the worst in the other p5/6 conferences. But, I’m sure there are myriad good reasons (excuses) why it’s perfectly normal. You know, like traffic, school nights, 9pm tip offs, dogwood festival...

Agree about the half court ball pressure, but I question why any team wouldn’t pressure us 30 feet from the basket, since we have shown, not just in the fsu game, that we don’t usually handle that kind of pressure well. FSU may have athleticism that allows them to guard better in open space...

I don’t understand all of the seeming angst over Abram. I have watched every game this season, and, to my eye, he has shown next to nothing. I don’t know why folks are shocked by his lack of production, because he hasn’t shown any promise since the beginning of the season. He did have one early...

I agree that our main struggle has been poor shooting percentage, but I do not agree that it is in any way linked to our defensive effort, for several reasons. Others have given examples of good defensive teams that are average shooting teams that win a lot. Also, our defensive effort isn’t...

Totally agree with Root’s assessment. Meka wouldn’t have sniffed a single minute of playing time under CDS. He was nowhere near an ACC level player in any capacity, not even as a defensive role player or backup. He was a blowout, mop up duty, level player. Jalon Moore has good athleticism and...

Dang. We tried to give that one away! Way to regroup, hang tough , and pull out the win Jackets!

Whew… I’ll take it

Wow. This is the first time I’ve heard anybody try to make this argument, I.e., that Geoffrey wasn’t one of the worst head coaches to ever pilot a D1 college football program. Everyone agrees that he faced difficult, even unique, challenging circumstances, but most everyone also recognizes that...

😂 We knew that comment was coming. But, headers in soccer and CTE is relevant to the “changing face of football in America “ though, because one of the reasons kids don’t play football as much anymore is because of the link to CTE. More and more kids are playing soccer instead because parents...

Wow, I’m surprised to hear so many dismissive attitudes about headers in soccer and possible links to negative effects on brain and cognitive function and health. Everyone seems to be focused on concussions, and I hear things like you are more likely to get a concussion from head to head contact...

Yes, it’s around age 12. My son plays soccer, and he moves up to the Under12 age group next season, and they will begin heading the ball. I am apprehensive about heading in soccer and the likely effects on the brain, but the soccer community seems intentionally ignorant and misinformed to the...

It’s the “kick back” payments to the HC that gives the struggling guy a chance that seem a bit shady to me, but I’m not really surprised.

To the bolded part… What?! Do you know this to be a fact? Do they sign a contract and does their athletic department know about this and condone it, or is this done under the table? This seems like collusion that shouldn’t be allowed.This is a new one on me. More of the dirty underbelly of...

I am not discounting the oxygen demand theory, but for the group of “people who participate in road/concrete based activities like cycling, rollerblading, skateboarding, etc.”, I am sure CTE in that group would also be correlated to/caused by head injuries. I am a “retired” middle distance...

The last bit about anaerobic exercise is interesting. I haven’t heard this before. Thanks for mentioning it. Any sources? I guess I can try googling.

Maybe so, but I saw some lazy defense by our guys going under screens. Specifically, it happened twice early in the first half, and PSI hit wide open 3s both times.

I think you meant George at the 1. And Claude can’t play the 4 in a spread offense.
