  1. This seems like a reasonable solution to the RB problem that I haven't seen brought up elsewhere.
  2. Turns out the entire list is trash. Just a list of random black people with skills, most who weren't even enslaved. Oh and inexplicably they added George Washington's sister on their list of random black people with skills. A state's purported AP equivalent curriculum is based on trash like this.
  3. How did Jake get away with doing IJB all these years and all of a sudden it being a nogo if Dan joined him in doing a podcast as well? Is it all because IJB predates Jake becoming a host?
  4. I believe IJB has around 800 to 1000 patrons they maintain. I'm guessing Dan and Jake can do better than that.
  5. There's some irony here vis a vi how all the host cynically view athletes who always go and on on about their "haters" and how nobody believed in them.
  6. You gotta feel like Bob was always the one to talk Dan into coming back when they were on the verge of leaving a couple years ago. I remember Bob mentioning having a long talk with George which did a lot to persuade dissuade him from leaving. If my inclinations are true and it was really Bob who prevented them from leaving you've gotta wonder how Dan reflected back on that time after Bob left for the Hardline only a few years later.
  7. In hindsight, Dan has often spoke admiringly of his "brother in law" Clay Travis risking it all, branching out on his own, and leaving his local Nashville station. And judging from some of the topics that Dan routinely hit on during his "Business Tuesday" segments he's at least thought a little about ways to go about monetizing a show independently from media company like Cumulus.
  8. Totally agree. The best high school teams today move the ball around much more than we did when I was in high school back in the early to mid 90s. The 3pt shot changed the way to the game is played today on that level. There's a lot less pound the ball dribbling and a lot more ball and player movement by the better high school teams. This viewpoint reminds me of people who still claim they don't watch NBA because there's too much isolation, which is a totally anachronistic observation to make about today's NBA.
  9. Conversely a disproportionate number of African Americans with PhDs went to HBCUs for undergrad even though the majority of black undergraduates go to predominantly white universities.
  10. Getting his twin brother will be the key. They're both reclassifying to 2024.
  11. Man I just heard we're going after Cooper Flagg. That dude is a legit phenom.
  12. In my experience white athletes from predominantly white areas tend to perform disproportionately better than white athletes from more diverse areas.
  13. We're in a different era. The concentration of talent onto only a few teams didn't exist to the same extent back then. 15 years of ESPN's brand management work for the SEC has had its effect on the game.
  14. I know but they play the same small forward position. You rarely, if ever see 2 true small forwards on the court at the same time. It's not like they're both combo guards. And McNeely is a much more highly rated player.
  15. I wonder what this means for Liam McNeeley. He was thought to be a Texas lean before this.
  16. Walters’ views are the more disturbing when you consider that he was teaching AP History at the high school in his hometown of McAlester three years ago. His YouTube channel includes an April 2020 virtual class that seemingly would violate his ban. Walters today would call what he taught then indoctrination. At the time, Walters was preparing his students for the Advanced Placement U.S. History exam. The video shows him sharing the screen with a black and white photo of armed soldiers escorting the first nine Black students into Little Rock Central High School in 1957. “This is the Civil Rights Movement,” Walters said. “You’re gonna see this reach its apex here in Little Rock.” He then stepped back three years to the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision. “The Supreme Court said, when you segregate, that is unconstitutional,” he said. “Segregation is illegal. You cannot segregate someone based on their race.” He talked about the case itself. “By the way, there’s this amazing moment where an attorney comes in and calls onto the stand the psychologist,” Walters says, “And the psychologist talks about, ‘I can show you how much damage is done to children based on segregation in schools.’” Walters did not identify the psychologist, but it is Dr. Kenneth Clark, whose wife, Dr. Mamie Clark, devised what became known as “The Dolls Test.” Walters proceeded to offer a not-quite-accurate description of the famous study in which 253 Black children aged 3 to 7 were asked if they preferred white dolls with light hair or Black dolls with dark hair. The great majority of the children chose the white dolls and expressed negative feelings about the Black ones. The Clarks attributed the results to racist practices and attitudes. “And so these psychologists went on and talked about how detrimental that was,” Walter said. “So it’s a fascinating case.” A case that was based on skin color. The Walters of 2020 clearly understood that even if he had some of the details wrong. (Kenneth Clark did testify in numerous other segregation cases, but he never took the stand in front of the Supreme Court in this one. He did submit a written statement to the high court that detailed test.) At another point in the class, Walters changed the screen background to a photo of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. addressing a huge crowd at the Washington Monument in 1963. “This is his famous D.C. speech—‘I have a dream.’ Unbelievable speech,” Walters told his pupils. “It is hard to overstate his impact.” One question that arises from this 50-minute class three years ago is how can Walters now declare that race is not a factor that demands critical study in American society? Could it be that he simply found it politically expedient in a red state going even redder? I had no idea this fucker was a former teacher. Their entire political apparatus is just an exercise in extreme tolling. Most of them don't actually believe in the shit they spew.
  17. I'm really looking forward to some extraordinary shooting performances this year. I'm hoping we maintain the movement and flow in our offense with a higher level, or at the very least, more consistent level of outside shooting.
  18. Otzeberger is getting a little bit of that broad benefit of the doubt while he employs broader skepticism for others.
  19. This is rich coming from captain hyperbole who literally just claimed nonsense like this was stated: RT IS INFALLIBLE! RT HAS FORGOTTEN MORE ABOUT BASKETBALL THAN JOHN WOODEN EVER KNEW! TO CRITICIZE HIM IS HERESY! BAN ALL OF THE HERETICS!!!!"
