My youngest was accepted at Bennington. Beautiful college town but she was looking for a bigger college. Loved my trips there.

Reminds me of the old Boston Celtics when Bird played and everyone would throw themselves all over the court hustling. That’s when basketball is really fun to watch.

This seems to fit with the Biden administration’s goal of decriminalizing at the federal level.

“That concludes our press conference…”

Lots of pieces. And it’s not quite as easy as simply playing the 5 best players on the team. The pieces have to fit. We’ve said it a million times already but I can’t help myself from saying it again. We watched CDS juggle players last year until he found combinations that worked. He now...

Early last season I was the only one arguing for more minutes for Ndongo, so you’ll get no argument from me that he needs to be on the floor.

I’ve never argued otherwise and have always said CDS wants options other than always having to play Ndongo at the 5.

And, with already having gotten USC and UCLA, they would have covered all the top recruiting areas in the country.

If Ndongo is the primary big it will not be by design. It will be because no one stepped up. Last year’s lineup was out of necessity and that may end up being the case again this year but I don’t believe CDS decided to just waste scholarships on other bigs. He wants more options. But, like...

You are really right on all counts, in my humble opinion. A true center is simply on my wish list, even if it’s situational and off the bench.

Tech is going to be good this year as I’ve repeatedly said, so, for the record, what would being proven right look like?

Ok, we can disagree. Most people respect your opinions on everything but ice cream 😊

Emily’s dad was a professor of mine in grad school that I still occasionally see. The Girls are definitely better in smaller venues imo. Saw them in a very small club in Macon some 30 years ago with Michael Stipe and it was better than any of the other times I’ve seen them.

Thanks. I feel less crazy now. We had moments all last year where guards couldn’t get separation to get off clean shots, added to opposing defenses who had bigs clogging up the middle preventing layups, thus causing us to go on extended scoring droughts. Having someone who can bump and grind...

Well, what do we mean by true? Alabama had a 6’11” “forward” who absolutely cleaned up like a “true” center would. And it certainly didn’t slow down UConn to have a “true” 7’2” center. I think CDS has it figured out. He knows Ndongo doesn’t need to play the 5 every night if we can help it.

Saw Indigo Girls at Chastain years ago, lots of tables, wine, candlelight etc. Amy’s mom and dad there. But dancing and swaying in all the seat areas.

I see the center playing low almost exclusively, moving to the opposite side of the box away from the ball or high or low on the corner of the box, if motion is coming inside. Think about a weave where the center crosses corner to corner. Otherwise, if play is around the perimeter, he plays...

Forgot to mention that they are one of those groups that sounds even better live than they do on albums.

Was their best album in my opinion. Lots of good songs and no fillers. Solid work.
