I’m guessing Aden Holloway will not start the NCAA tournament game

He'll be starting as many first round tournament games as LSU players this year then.

Nice.

Pretty much just a trilogy in name only; there's no connective story, just the same principal actors.

Florida is a lock and only team with a chance of a F4.

I think Arkansas has a puncher's chance. That said, none of the #1 seeds have any glaring flaws.

But yes, Florida has - by far - the best shot at a F4 appearance.

I like Alabama, Arkansas, and Vandy's odds

---

Alabama likely plays Texas Tech in Round 2... probably the most dangerous 5 Seed in the tournament (they managed to beat Arizona at Arizona). If we come out against them like we did Ole Miss, we're not winning that game at all.

If we do beat them we run into Michigan. Not going to lie, it'll take a miracle to beat the Wolverines this year. They're REALLY good. So it's hard to imagine making it past the Sweet 16.

I think Vandy being opposite of Nebraska is easier than Alabama being opposite Texas Tech, despite Nebraska being a higher seed. Nebraska's not bad by any stretch though... not an easy out.

That's why I was pissed at how lackadaisical we came out against Ole Miss. The Rebels were there to play, and we just figured we'd show up and win. That loss cost us a 3 seed, and the best shot we would have had to make the Elite 8 IMHO.

While it is supposed to be a new character... these people just need to stop.

1. Don't remake The Fugitive at all. It doesn't need one.

2. Write new stories. Quit looking at old movies. Project Hail Mary is proof there are still a lot of great stories out there that are available for turning into movies.

3. Quit trying to make Zendaya an action star. If you want a female action star there are much better options out there, like Gina Carano.

Why do people care so little about SEC men's basketball?

As a big fan of basketball, I was surprised to see there were only a few hundred people in attendance at the Oklahoma-Texas A&M tournament game last night.

Flipped the channel to the Big 12 tournament game going on at the same time, and the arena was packed.

Well, part of the issue is that it's in Nashville. That's a long way to travel for A&M and Oklahoma, especially considering both are long shots to win the thing.

On the other hand, the Big 12 tournament is being held in Kansas City, and the game that was on opposite of Oklahoma / Texas A&M was Kansas / TCU.

You're comparing the attendance between two teams where the closest campus is over 600 miles away to a game where the closest campus is just 40 miles away.

It should also be noted that the Big 12 tournament was in their Quarterfinals while the SEC was in their second round.

I'd be concerned if, say, the Vandy/Tennessee game was looking sparse. That's a better comparison.

If that applied to coaches the entire Pearl tenure at Auburn doesn’t count.

Maybe you guys can get more out of him than we could.

Wish him luck, except if/when he plays against us. :cheers:

Robyn Adele Anderson has done some amazing reimagining of songs, like this one...

South Carolina's odds are "Why are you even betting on them?"

But then you include LSU, so no way that's the issue. :cheers:

Alabama didn't even have one until 1993 (David Palmer); then DJ Hall did it twice in 2006 & 2007.

So we had just 1 in 1993 and 3 total by 2007; now we have at least 13 (including two each from 2019 and 2021).

From what I can tell, Alabama 1000 yard receivers in the national title season 2020 (DeVonta Smith), 2015 (Calvin Ridley), and 2012 (Amari Cooper - barely). The other titles under Nick Saban (2009, 2011, 2017) did not have a thousand yard receiver.

That said... every single one of those seasons had a 1,000 yard rusher:
2020 - Najee Harris
2017 - Damien Harris (barely)
2015 - Derrick Henry (record-breaking year)
2012 - Eddie Lacy
2011 - Trent Richardson
2009 - Mark Ingram

And while 2017 barely had a single player break 1,000 yards (Damien Harris is listed as having 1,000 exactly), that team was 13th in the nation in rushing offense as we also had Jalen Hurts (855 yards) and the following RBs also taking carries:
Bo Scarborough
Najee Harris
Josh Jacobs
Brian Robertson Jr

My brother moved there recently; I came to visit and two things struck me:

2. How horrible the traffic is now
