Nice job getting a much needed road win. Pretty much had to have that one to keep any tourney hopes alive. Particularly good win given we shot like crap.

thought after these next couple of small ones he was going to write a trilogy to complete it,
It was supposed to be 22 books and then the final trilogy after (so 25 books total). But that was pre Battleground I think. So not sure if Peace talks/Battleground being divided into two books changed that or not. Hopefully he gets his butt in gear and starts releasing them every 2 years again so we aren't worried about him not finishing the series, which wasn't something I think any of us would have been concerned with a decade ago.

Man, struggling to put away probably the worst team in the conference at home, dead crowd, not looking good for Steven.

highly doubt Chaplin had a real 22 run grade against Mercer.
Wtf Jang, did you just try and quote a source to support your argument, and then deny that same sources accuracy a couple posts later?
That's some Chex level weathervane spinning around stuff.

Oof some of these run blocking grades
Yeah, those are some ridiculously bad run blocking grades.

and to be honest, if they are within 15 years, they can make the actors look late 20s, based on how many 25+ yo they cast as highschool kids
This is true, and they could always age up Carl in the show into his early/mid thirties, it wouldn't change the character much. And someone like Ritchson could pull off mid 30s.
And agreed on Powell, not big enough to play Carl, and a bit too smooth and pretty boy to play Carl. Carl needs to be a bigger, rough and tumble kind of guy.
quote:
audiobook Carl sounds like Patrick Warburton and his son sounds just like him and is not too far past 30
I have a hard time picturing anyone in the right age range. Patrick Warburton in his 30s obviously would have been perfect.
Alan Ritchson is the only guy who comes to mind with the look and combo of action and comedy chops (if he slimmed down from his bulk in Reacher a bit). But he's about 10 years too old (though Carl honestly reads to me as a guy closer to mid thirties than his late 20s age in the book).

Jovic, Overton, Freeman, and Sway are my likely favorites to stay on.
Oh yeah, I completely spaced Jovic. He's improved by leaps and bounds as the season has gone on. He's been really good lately and is a solid building block.
quote:
The question is does Steven piecemeal the team year by year so that once every blue moon he isnt replacing 10 plus forcing ground up rebuilds.
This is my main concern (besides us sucking in general this year obviously). Ben is talking about hopefully it's just a rebuilding year, but rebuild with what exactly?
Are we on any good prospects radar right now? It's been pretty much crickets on the recruiting front.
SWA has been awesome and is a really nice building block. Freeman has a ton of promise. Outside of that we have what exactly that will be back next year to build on exactly?
I don't see Tahaad coming back given his sucking and Steven having to call him out publicly and sit him. And Overton is just a dude and should be sixth man not a starter. Magwood and Walker aren't even getting minutes.
Replacing 80 % of your roster year to year isn't feasible unless you are Duke and getting your pick of 5 stars.

If Bruce was coaching we likely would be. The defensive awareness and effort alone would be the difference
Please, Bruce had mediocre teams with crappy defense when they were built like this. See 2022 for a good example. When Bruce didn't have good three point shooters his teams tended to be average. We would have a win or two more maybe, but our team defense would still be meh due to the roster.
Is Steven a good coach? No clue at this point, but Bruce wouldn't be doing much better with this mediocre team.

I don't think there is anyone involved with Auburn basketball that isn't tired of that, including Steven. What a disappointment he's been this year.

With losses to A&M and Mizzou it's going to be very difficult without major improvements and upsets. Looking like a NIT team at this point for sure.

think the story is Keyshawn tonight.
Yeah, he's just disappeared in most of our losses. Pretty much been free throws only for him when we've had losses outside of the Texas A&M game. Seems like we will go as he goes this season.
Should make a good one two punch with Cobb. Now we just need two good IOL and a couple other OL for depth to give them someone to run behind.
quote:
Muschalek for all his faults drove Acuff absolutely fricking nuts in the first half.
Yeah, as much as I was complaining in earlier games when he played and was sucking, he played well tonight. He played solid enough d and wasn't turning it over.
The ball movement tonight is just so much better on offense. We look like a team with a plan rather than the iso ball all over the place stuff like most of the year.
Hopefully it sticks and we maintain this going forward.

Hope we got the better coach.
Not too surprising seeing Singleton going back to the OC he had success with at GT after having a bad year last year.
Jovic looking good today.

Yet somehow he produced more than the million dollar man Amaris that jang is so enamored with for some reason.
Where are you pulling your stats from? Saint had half a sack last year and 1.5 TFL, Amaris had 2 and 6 TFL. He did have one more tackle.
Completely different positions obviously as we just need Saint to eat up blocks and allow the LB to wreck shop. And he looks like a decent fit for that nose guard need.
But until we actually pick up a good edge rusher in the portal talking crap about letting Amaris go is pretty dumb. He's not irreplaceable, but so far we haven't. Hopefully we do. Nate Johnson is a decent depth piece with upside, but he didn't do squat at Mizzou.

I mean when they were trying to kill him he had ruled for 3500 years and basically forced humanity to be lower technology and into stagnation for much of that time. After 3500 years of a tyrant most would be trying to take him out.
In Heretics it was 1500 years later and humanity was thriving, and they could see the success of what he did.
