  1. Wait...wut?
  2. Nah, they’re not near as cultish or weird as aggys, but when they’re decent at something the fan base is as obnoxious as any fan base in the country. And they carry the tech “chip on the shoulder” like a badge of honor. They got a good coach and team...we don’t.
  3. When your supposed best 3 point shooter struggles to make free throws, you might rethink your “judgment”.
  4. Yeah, I don’t get that either. “KSt was mediocre”, my ass. That has to be one of their better offensive games of the season.
  5. Yeah they obviously struggled with the zone, but even when KSt went back to m2m they weren’t getting to the rim.
  6. 2nd half was horribad. Felt like they had nothing left in the tank after the aggressive, attacking style they played in the first half.
  7. As shitty as the team played in the 2nd half, still had a decent chance of getting a win.
  8. Bad shooting night and KSt played out of their ass on offense. Their shooting percentage was ridiculous.
  9. Febres just threw that up. Had time.
  10. KSt having their best offensive performance of the season. Even when defense plays well, they are hitting tough shots right before the buzzer.
  11. If they are going to sag off to protect against the lob, drivers need to take it hard to the rim, which they were doing in the first half.
  12. KSt is scoring on every fucking possession. Their offense is supposed to be suspect. Have to get stops and start hitting some 3s.
  13. Of course KSt can’t miss from 3, where they usually suck...
  14. Didn’t make many outside shots. Most of the scoring was drives, points off offensive rebounds and some free throws. Out scrapping KSt, which is hard to do.
  15. Like Huck said, the 67% weighting for the Freshman class makes absolutely no sense for predicting next years team. Also, on offense, I would think returning QBs and Olinemen would be a heavily weighted factor. Not sure if it is...
  16. I believe your thinking of chickenpox that causes shingles. Measles is a different virus that is much more dangerous for kids.
  17. Isn't there a vaccine for chickenpox now? When I was a kid everyone got chickenpox, right of passage sort of thing. Turns out once you have that virus in your system it never leaves. So now (that I'm old) I have had 3 episodes of Bell's Palsy thanks to that "harmless" chickenpox virus (varicella-zoster) and shingles is caused by the same thing. Just reactivates later in life as herpes zoster.
  18. Kid may grow himself into an OL prospect. He has the kind of athleticism that could translate into an elite LT.
  19. Going for the 3 and the win, unfortunately they ran the panicked, herd offense. Fugly...
  20. Offense had better flow tonight, but of course Garrett decides to have a career game... Need to win one of these type games at the buzzer to gain some confidence.
  21. Ding! Ding!
  22. I'm not complaining in the slightest. The point of the post was about expectations. As an example I brought up the boards expectations for Jake Smith and specifically a lot of talk about his speed. He's fast, not elite but plenty fast , along with other great attributes. It's not a knock on the kid at all, just the hype certain recruits/incoming freshmen get before they step foot on the field. It's interesting to me how those expectations play out and how often they end being off base. Shit, I hope he ends up being an all-American, it wouldn't surprise me.
  23. Agree with all of this. They were the worlds worst at setting lease bonus precedents at 3 to 5 times the going rate, for no apparent reason. If they showed up in an area we were working, we knew we were fucked.
  24. It's always interesting to see how the incoming freshman "pan out" in comparison to whom this board is really excited about right now. LJH didn't get much attention, either positive or negative when he came in. Although some "analysts" thought he was a terrible take... Jake Smith seems to be the one of the class favorites. He looks like a damn good football player to me, but I'm not seeing the elite speed I keep reading about (ducks). He's got good speed and quickness and runs exceptional routes, but he doesn't have Marquise Goodwin or Hollywood Brown speed. I think he ends being a really good football player, but I'm not sure he makes as an immediate impact or lives up to some of the expectations I read here. Malik Jefferson rings a bell in this regard. This happens every year, I'm sure with every fan base.
  25. CB is a position where experience really matters. There is plenty of talent on the roster, but it might be a rough start to the year at that position. Hopefully they will pick things up quickly. I think Cook will be ok if he can eliminate some of the bonehead stuff he tends to do, mainly from being overly aggressive. Not sure what to think about Green. He's got a ton of talent but it might take him a little while to get up to game speed.
