  1. Something is not right. A team should never get worse when it's best player comes back on the court.
  2. The money is there, but hard to think of anything else good about the A&M gig.
  3. from what I could find he was 32% from 3pt in the OTE league and he's a decent FT shooter so at least he's not shot impaired the way a Rodman or Drummond were. At 20 you can hope there is upside but who ever knows?
  4. I suppose the theory is a great athlete may learn to shoot but a plodding shooter will never become athletic. If you like theory.....
  5. Just bring back Sherrone Moore from where-ever he goes next year.
  6. they could put a thousand kids though 4 years of A&M for that money. I know - silly - no reason for that comparison to even come to mind....
  7. They were pretty confident PSU could not score, pound the ball and run the clock. The 32 (or whatever) consecutive run number is also a bit of an anomaly: they attempted a deep ball and it was erased on a penalty so the number of consecutive runs actually called was a smaller number.
  8. Having to 'suffer' Sherrone Moore game managing for UM is probably like Br'er Rabbit being thrown into the briar patch. He's probably the best football mind on the staff, incl JH.
  9. Russians seem intend on setting some kind of record for troop and equipment senselessly sent to slaughter in Avdiivka
  10. I'm not sure if this is your question but if it's "should all the neutrals stay tied together, that would be yes. So you now have a larger wire nut with the three neutrals plus your jumper to the neutral on the outlet. And for that matter the same with the grounds.
  11. all of which would be the legal part of his job. That is pretty nuts.
  12. RIght - that's an office inbox. Not to mention you don't put your title in your real email at UM because you pretty much keep it forever while titles come and go.
  13. most E-Mail addresses at the U are in a public directory, though the AD's is not.
  14. probably helps UM with a judge because it shows clear intent to frustrate due process and a judge won't like that.
  15. ESPN is saying 'sideline ban'. Does that mean he can sit in the press box? That might not even be worth appealing. Probably also not what they meant!
  16. Pretty much. I suppose you could come up with a nutty scenario where they beat PSU and OSU butsome weird stuff happens like a monsoon during the game and they lose Maryland.
  17. they have private property in China, just no effective rule of law to protect owner rights from state fiat. It's a fair argument that's a sort of distinction without a difference, but while there is still a lot state owned industry in China - especially around the Red Army/defense sector, the concept of communal ownership of the means of production isn't much of an organizing principle for development in China. No doubt Xi had/has designs to reverse that tend, but I don't think he's gotten very far. China has also been ranked by some methods as having the world's most billionaires, so economic class stratification is very much alive.
  18. It strikes me that we need some new term for these regimes that may have had their seeds in Marxism but have moved almost completely away from a Marxist economic model. Putin has taken Russia all the way to plain dictatorship, so the description there is simple enough, but we could use a new word for what a place like China is: "Capunism"? Comsicm? Who is this era's William Safire when you need a new word coined?
  19. The broadcast re-alignments seem to have a flavor of professionalism about it. The ethos with Bally recently has been throw anyone in front of the camera or microphone that was nearby and might have a decent 'Q' score. Hopefully this is a broad push by Harris to move toward pros who know what they are doing.
  20. 4 on 3 is pretty a steep advantage. I didn't find a number for it, but given that the average 5 on 4 PP success rate is in the 20s and 5 on 3 is ~70, 4 on 3 is probably also in the 50% or better range.
