What THE Fuck!

Just as I suspected. That bump to the noggin wasn't the deal breaker.

Ten days is about the most one could be expected to be out with a concussion. I've had many and my post's bare that out. So unless an athlete is scheduled for emergency brain salad surgery they should normally hit the floor with normal functions within five days.
Damn this is disappointing.

This is why we can't have nice things.


Was texting back and forth with GH and GF (The really cool people) last night on this and GH made the point that if Powell is gone, Shariff takes off and Flanigan leaves, we can look for pretty much the same next year.  13-14.  Probably no post season.

The rest of us don't need the constant reminder that we're just filler on this site. 

But is this the new normal in sports? Have we just become a proving ground for professional ball where it's one or two and done?

We've received your application and it's under consideration.  We should have a decision to you shortly on whether or not you can become one of the really cool people.


Unfortunately, that's the way of the world these days.  There are simply more options for these kids to go make money playing hoops.  Until, or unless they adopt similar rules to football and baseball, it will always be somewhat of a revolving door.

But until then I say it's better to recruit from club ball in pairs or tandems...kids that rule the floor against strong competition yet don't necessarily have the tools to be the next Black Mamba. 

Personally I enjoy watching good team ball where the five on the floor aren't acting independent or selfishly, disregarding everyone else just to be the main attraction.

Not that anyone gives a shit what the runofthemill fan thinks but I truly get a bigger kick seeing a player split defenders with a one bounce assist or a timely outlet pass that hits a team mate in stride over some bomber trying to get his three point average over 37%.

I just wanted to see JP and coop on the floor at the same time. Two good ball handlers with one being a 3 point shooter would have made this team dangerous.

Oh well. Wish the kid luck. Its tough being young, away from home, and locked in a dark room for as long as he was.

Im not sure JP is gonna come back the same ever. His injury was worse than we knew. JGT - in fact - has said he actually had a skull fracture. The non stop 247 headaches make sense now. Word is also that he wants to get back closer to home so he's prob UL bound. That severe injury seems to have shaken his psyche this far from home.

even though you may be onto something here Mr JMAR, I don't really get the hype with purple coats. Now, don't get me wrong - if one is planning to go all out and grab a soft drink or 7 at the nearest mile marker, then I say - yes - go for it but otherwise, who wants to plant wood anyway. And certainly not on the 3rd Wednesday of winter. I just don't understand some people. Know what I mean? Tables, tables, tables....all I see are tables. Someone tell Marsha Brady pronto.

I think something else was afoot that was connected to Cooper. Maybe they were oil and vineraregette. IDK but the worst loss in my mind as the season comes to a screeching halt is how good Flanigan and Thor could have been playing on the floor with these two cats. But sadly, the world will never know.

Really pronounced sadface

Don't be so harsh in your rebuttal Mr. GH. I happen to look forward to and respect your opinions on all things Tigersx although I will not take a back seat when it comes to my expertise with trivia about Marsha Brady. She had a running competition with Jan and there was the whole braces thing.

I'm not concerned with tables either although I am keen for quality napkins and a nice tattersall covering for my dining pleasure.

oh don’t you go being pretentious now jmar. If you wanna be a snob then you can take your fancy tattersall and move it to where that sun doesn’t shine. But I wouldn’t recommend that in this covid era. Entirely too unsanitary.

It's just tattersall. It makes a nice sportscoat too especially in a tight three color brown, tan, navy twill with navy trousers and some quality footwear. I'm not as pretentious as I am cost effective for the challenged, such as my old assed self being dragged out for who knows what now and again.

Looks like everybody has become Kentucky with the transfer portal.  New team every season.

I'm okay with kids leaving only with some parameters in place.
Not for a kid going on injured reserve to weigh his options because the new shiny kid is about to be released from time-out and unseat him as the star.

I get where Pearl feels he has to talk-up how outstanding the kids are and how much he loves them (same as other coaches) because you might just be the recipient of another wonderful youngster wanting to transfer to your fine institution.

And so it goes. Rocky Top gets his services, not Kentucky.
My head hurts coach. 
I'm seeing double.

Does that shoot down the “missing family” argument?

meddling daddy it would appear. Jay g tate saying Justin didn’t even get much of a say in the matter.
