The #3 jersey comes with a 2 bedroom condo near campus 

And we can now even negotiate down the standard 7% commission rate. Which AFL real-estate has to hate !

What a kick in the nutz.

You aren't by chance Debbie Taylor are you? Please say yes, I loved you in high school. 

The silence tells me that there is still a chance.... Playing shy, just like 1984.

I still want to see him channel his dad

I have always wanted this and by staying with CMFW one more year made a huge leap towards it. It wouldn't have happened had he not. I think he is Just now coing into his GAM mind set game.

I don't think he'll ever have 3 range, but???? Maybe he doesn't need it. OH, and EFF Draymond. (rules are off for 2 hours)... He's a bitch.

With the composition of our team currently, the former, but I understand why you pose that question.  I don't want another season MR dribbling into double and triple teams because he doesn't have the confidence to throw it out to someone behind the arc that can make a shot. 

I too, once ordered a steak dinner and the utensils they gave me to eat it with where a whisk and Mortar and Pestle. It may have been the perfect steak, but someone had to ruin the experience.

I know it's a different position, but look at JHS.  Yes, he's getting first round money, but he lit up the B10 last year and now he's in the GLeague.  MM had his moments but he wasn't close to the impact JHS was. 

Getting Tucker is a good first step, since that'll make 3 top-30 recruits on the roster.  Given that MM is getting paid, land one or two more weapons and coming back to play another season of college ball sounds good to me. 

I think you are outlining my thought. JHS, awesome x 10. Went too early. There's more to the NBA, playing with 30 yr old GAM (mentally)than being super smooth in College. 

MgTaco made some of the most quietly produced #'s for a freshmen in the nation last year.. (top 2 wasn't it?).. very Quietest #'s. With more GAM killer mind set, he could have blown out some records. Call it more primary mindset or Killer FU instinct/ Confidence, which ever. He needs one more year and we all say his improvement towards the FU mindset. And he's not skrimpin by on min wage!

I'll also add, I don't think that Trace would have his starting mind set at Golden state, if he had not came back for his last year.

Mental is 4:1 to physical. I once hear someone say. I'd bet $ that is being reverberated from CMFW to these players. .

Dude, that's my era.  I think I was 18 when that came out.  Rolled out many a night listening to that CD or Significant Other.

Didn't Limp, Kid Rock and Rob Zombie all become relevant about that time? I was older'ish 25-26 ish, but the younger guys at the fire house got me into listening to them.

I was the Training Captain at the time and I used to use Rob Zombie sound tracks, BLASSSSSSTED (140 dcb level) during live close quarter training exercises to mimic removing the sense of hearing, teaching to focus on other sense, like one would experience in a true fire or rescue situation. I loved the jams, it made rookies curl up in the fetal position. But the stronger ones over came it and lived through the real shit.

Rob doesn't usually get credit for stuff like that. .... hmm I think I know my sound track tonight after I take my Delta 8 anti-stimulant. GOD the good old days where fukcing great.

I'd heard 🙂 there was a bridge you could park on and watch, but you couldn't hear the dialogue... 😉

In fact, you heard correctly. On a little dead end road to now where. Just past the place, off of haritstraight road... to the left.. Where grass wouldn't grow for 10 years on either side of the road, for all of the car traffic that had pulled of there.  Just crazy the things people would come from miles around to watch.

I’ve never one time said I hope we lose or I hope he loses. Gave my opinion on him, still don’t think he’s the guy and we’re wasting another year. However, you won’t ever catch me rooting against IU.

Thanks, kinda..

It still feels like several parade floats that have a big self qualifying, sign that says... MEH, this is an ok parade, you could do better, but it won't last. While the people on the sidewalks in lawn chairs say..... Then why are you in the parade?

But you won't catch me rooting against those posts.  

Just now, IUFLA said:

Didn't they have a <ahem> drive in theater in Ellettsville?

It allll makes sense to me now 😁

In fact they did have an <ahem> drive in.... Damndest thing I ever snuck in to witness, several times. LOL

Mbako needs to turn the tacos into NIL.  Get the Ellettsville shell gas station with their amazing tacos to sponsor him 🌮

I like the Taco nickname and I love updating the Taco Meter during game threads for his 3 pointers! 🌮🌮🌮

TO me, it only really works if it is MgTaco... NOT just Taco (other than that is quicker for game thread typing). It's a truer play on his actual name and a life event that us all on the edge of our chairs...... While knowing (probably) every one of us have had a 3am craving and short fuze and poor judgement at one time in our life or another. MgBakp to MgTaco is like god (insert what ever you like) planned this out 19 years ago, for just this moment... . 

If I was he, at that age (or today) I would introduce myself like that and friggin laugh and laugh...

Are you ever gonna stop disrespectfully calling him taco? I mean, it's kinda been a while.

I gotta disagree. It's not disrespectful at all.

KW, I've stayed away but I have to give you my opinion as a BBall scout.

Your game has grown and you look good. But I am afraid, there us one more gear that you need to develop and that needs to be under CMW next year. After that, heck you may go straight into team ownership let alone playing. I have close to 100% accuracy when I give this type review to players with your ability, on a Wednesday, in March, while being in Charlotte. So it's fare to say that I am correct for your future. !

Ballpark value is $350k and no mortgage. It's their biggest asset with minimum savings...and only Social Security so trying to get $ out of the home to get it close to 50/50 division is the goal. 

my $.02 and NOT a banker. Dump the house, down size, use the cash to support each in retirement. and never ever ever get emotionally tied to a house ever again. Or wife as far as that goes, but that's a different discussion all together.. LOL

Damn, do you dislike this kid so much you have to pass on him twice?! 😂

Never forget that jo jo has inside connections and verified that MR was transferring out. When asked, he doubled down on it. When found to be total BS, he disappeared for a bit.

I pictured him, passing a car that was in the passing lane, via the left shoulder on a divided highway. Double pass. Passing the passer. 

We call it the OJ Simpson, in prison language.

Is that a thing?? Never heard of this in my life. Obviously you must have witnessed it before once…but even if you did do you think perhaps that there could have been a medical reason why that might happen and perhaps that’s the bravest thing someone can do is to be out there playing because they love the game but have a legitimate medical condition?? I mean I don’t know because I’ve never heard of this but I suppose if I did I might not assume why they are and have a conversation with them.

I didn't mean face mask like a covid mask, I meant like a football face mask.

I was trying to work some hyperbolic sarcasm into a slam post.

Can't wait to see what tools newton has !
