The off topic thread

That team had 7 guys drafted and 4 in the first round. This team might not have one first rounder.

They might not… they might have a couple… we’ll revisit this

Can’t compare teams 30-40 years apart. It apples and oranges.

Yeah I read some of the Bama fan reactions on social media and they were all excited for this game. Funny because even a year ago the response absolutely would not have been as positive.

It’s crazy how fast perceptions can change in college basketball. Baylor went from no history to national power out of nowhere and after a murder scandal. From 1950 to 2007 they made ONE NCAA tournament and lost on the first round of that. By 2012 they were a powerhouse.

I felt a little bit of imposter syndrome last season, but like we are the real deal now.

Outside of (maybe) quarterback in the NFL, is there a singular more powerful/most important figure in sports than college head coach?

Are you trying to say she didn't really like me for me?

Even I don't like me without a wad of money

White Lotus, season 2 in Sicily. Will answer that question.

I guess that’s better than Sam Rockwell’s soliloquy in season 3 answering that question!

No

Well maybe a billionaire booster

I was trying to forget that ever happened. That was the biggest “what did I just see” moment in my tv/film watching life. I was just happy that I watched that alone!!

I really appreciate the leeway that the mods give during the offseason.

Personally, I’m a Penn State football diehard and a St John’s fan/masochist (since birth). Right now all the “gurus” have Penn State as the number one preseason pick, and SJU as a locked in final four contender. I honestly don’t know how to deal with this level of quality, and sometimes my posts probably reflect this confusion!!!

Congrats on making up your mind.

I think.

Maybe.

We'll see.

Mullin and Jackson were both top 50 all-time NBA. That’s not happening again. Ever.

(And surely not with this year’s roster.)

Not arguing on behalf of this year's roster, but I wouldn't put anything past Pitino.
