Quote from: TC on Nov 18, 2024, 09:24 PMI really like this team. They get bored at times and go flat, but Cal kept the rotations moving and that really helped, imo. He couldve reached down the bench a bit further, but I think he wanted to gas our guys and push the 7.  Use the injuries as a challenge.



Same. The talent is there. I am a little worried about Aidoo. He didn't practice the day I was there in September. That's 2 months he's been out/limited. To make it far I think he HAS to be healthy. Big Z is gonna be that player that you know what he's gonna give you first 5 mins he is in. You can't trust him to be the guy inside.

It's not just the dreads, but Boogie's game reminds me of Courtney Fortson. Thiero is a rich man's Umude as someone else mentioned.

Boogie is a much better shooter than Fortson.

I really like Billy Richmond III...but he's probably a year away from being a "star". I think he's gonna grow more into that body and become a nice 3 and D type guy. Nice seeing him wearing that #24 it suites him.

Looking at that roster with 2 or 3 guys out we are really super thin.

Quote from: jdcatty on Nov 18, 2024, 09:16 PMYeah, I understand.  That's why I won't play blackjack.  Those dealers can deal hands faster than I can think. 

I do like craps, but after I lose 3-400 bucks, I am done.  I also like Mississippi Stud.  Takes no talent at all, and moves a lot slower than blackjack.
Some blackjack dealers will offer advice, while others never open their mouth. When they swap out dealers and I get one of those quiet ones, I'm done.
A couple years ago Caesars had a few tables out of the main area where they'd have basically "learning" tables. It was great to have my wife learn slowly while getting instruction without being intimidated by a faster dealer. Still lost but it was more fun when she could play.
The same people demanding everyone embrace your beliefs, have zero tolerance and condemn another for embracing theirs.  Oh, the irony.

And probably 3 inches taller.

I agree. I think it is more how they run the PG position than anything. He's also a few inches taller.

Kinda got that thought as well. Game felt pedestrian.

Fland has dreads and that's about where the similarities end.

I haven't nailed down if or who he reminds me of yet. He's not exactly Lee Mayberry but if Lee played today in this style he'd would probably look a lot more free style instead of a steady silent assassin type...

We really haven't had a guy like Boogy Fland or at least not in many years. We've had some good guards some even great but as dynamic as Fland can be idk..I think he probably projects more so as a John Wall or Gilbert Arenas type guy...

He's a lot more in control and a lot less selfish than Fortson as well.

Nothing will please me more than beating UK this year. More than any other year, more than beating Texass.

I want to shut those obsessed UK fans up.

Amen. I've never seen a more pretentious, self loving fanbase in my life.

I think all the PT is helping him develop.

He struggles against muscular, physical bigs like what Baylor had. More of that in the SEC.

Badly miss Aidoo.

I'd be curious to see attendance numbers for these type of non-con game before and after the ESPN+ app.

Regardless, he's right, no reason for empty seats.  Everyone can find someone who wants their tickets for any given game.

this is getting all sorts of attention from some of the national media.

attendance is way down, even for this time of year last season. doesn't really make sense despite the excuses being thrown around.

Has to be frustration spilling over from football.

Supposedly people are buying up the tickets and trying to scalp on prices and only go to the games they want to attend.

Mostly I think it's the economy but probably also is a biproduct of the NIL/portal shit. It is going to be harder for fans to get emotionally invested in a team that's only there for a pay day. Any narrative of the innocence of college athletics has been removed.
