Overlooking resume to focus on team strengths just seems to be missing the point of it all.


I get what he's saying. Michigan State is a good example. They will probably finish regular season with 10-12 losses but they're still a top 20 team

And Auburn was probably a top 6-8 team in football this year.. but we didn't deserve to finish up there with a 9-4 record and mediocre bowl performance. I don't hate the guy for it but it seems logical any pollster should balance resume with team strength.

If Newell got what he wanted in all sports, bama would never miss the playoff with their bloated depth chart. The logic isn’t very sound or consistent.

Disagree as of their resume so far. A team 2-7 vs. Q1 teams is not a top 20 team right now IMO.

I'm sure this will rub some people the wrong way but I don't really like the orange uniforms. They are okay on the road I guess, although I like the blues. I really love the home whites the most.


I love the orange for a change of pace look. As many times as we will wear the white at home, the orange is a good looking orange to me.

It's not permanent so its a winner....

On the bright side, that means Cambridge will probably get more minutes, so he can try to develop some more consistency.

I listened to Pearls interview... he’s listed as questionable... but sounds more like doubtful.

He does need to step up. I mentioned how he disappears and got downvoted. I had to watch a replay of the LSU game and they said he had not scored a point in the previous four games. He is just a freshman, and he will improve, but we are going to need him in the Tourney. Unlike last year, our bench is thin.

They said he is fever free so there is a chance he wakes up well enough to at least play some tomorrow

If it is actually the flu, it takes weeks to regain lung capacity

True, but I never know what to believe when I hear an athlete has the "flu"

They're not releasing the line yet. Figured it had something to do with Purifoy. Relieved that's all it is.

Maybe that he actually has the flu?

Maybe. Maybe he has a cold. Maybe the stomach bug. Maybe menstrual cramps. Idk.

My skepticism dates back to the flu game, when MJ was actually just hungover from a 4 AM casino night.

Crazy thing is though Bruce says the reason he doesn't get minutes consistently is because of his defense.
