Umm, don’t we need to qualify that graduation rate a little?

Your premise is not accurate. Not every player is going to be an All-Star in his first few years. Most of Cal’s freshman that have been drafted are having successful careers on par or in excess of their expectations. Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, MKG, Nerlens Noel, Julius Randle, Devin Booker, and Trey Lyles are all…

Hield is the exception rather than the rule. Counterpoint is somebody like Sullinger, who probably would have been top 5 had he come out after his freshman year but stuck around, exposed some of his weaknesses, and fell out of the lottery.

Tubby Smith? Genuinely amazing human and pretty damn successful in the big picture, although not quite successful enough for Kentucky fans still drunk on Pitino.

But you still haven’t explained why Cal’s action screw up the system that the NCAA had in place. What is bad about all the players declaring and getting information, even in the eyes of the NCAA? I don’t get it.

It’s a terrible place to watch a game, maybe the worst in major college basketball. Cavernous and very impersonal feeling. And that’s coming from someone who’s primary experience with watching live college games in in Rupp arena, which is not exactly Cameron indoor when it comes to intimacy and charm. But Rupp beats…

Absolutely. I live out in the county a bit with no neighbors to speak of. I piss outside any time it’s not raining or freezing cold. It got to the point where I had created a dead spot in the grass, so my wife made me start rotating my pee locations. She’s generally in favor because she thinks it keeps the deer away…

Oh, there’s no need to draw from your hatred of Ted Cruz to wish injury on Grayson Allen. That kid is undoubtedly hateable enough in his own right. The Cruz likeness is just the cherry on the punchability sundae, so to speak.

There is such a thing? I think I’ve been married for too long to remember.

I’m pretty sure it’s independent films.

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but the Terminator wasn’t real. Nor was Robocop. I don’t completely disagree with your point, but this hardly seems like the proper context to make it.

It’s a gather step and then two steps, which is legal and not a travel.

As a long-time toaster oven devotee, I recently tried the pan method and I have to say I was very impressed. The toaster oven gets you the crispiness, but tends to dry out both the crust and the cheese. With the pan method, you get a crust that is both crispy and chewy, while the cheese is melty but still moist. The…

Are you thinking that Atlanta would re-sign Dwight? Why on earth would the Hawks not want to give a max to Horford but choose to give one to Dwight?

Not sure Houston would do it, but Howard to the Wiz for something like Nene, Neal, and Humphries would work. I think Washington wants to be good now and Haward’s D and rim runs could help with that.

Any system that decreases expected wins for the team that replaces Dwight with Boogie is pretty damn suspect in my book.

As a nuetral observer, it’s pretty clear that you are the jackass, sir.

So it is lieterally a dump, then?

Man, I miss Girls. The solo stuff has just not been in the same stratosphere.
