      bo manipulated them and made them feel like they had to pick him because everyone was out to get them. pretty disgusting behavior. it is exactly what bad parents do during a divorce. but it is worse because of the scale and because bo just walked away leaving them in that mess he created.

  15. Coach Pops continues to be such an inspiring voice and model of leadership in sports. Such class!

      Ah, I see. I guess I don't follow the NBA nearly close enough to be aware of anything other than Pop's commentary on broader social issues. 

       

      Are private role models any better than public role models? I think all that's needed is some realism when it comes to models. They aren't unimpeachable, but there are specific things about them that we can find very admirable. Sometimes they themselves don't live up to the stands they set. Such is human, and we (may) change our views on them accordingly. 

       

      Something I really appreciate about Pop is how effectively he can reach such a broad spectrum of people. It's his unique position as a powerful figure in sports. He (and Steve Kerr) can say the same things that, say, if it were some young minority journalist penning an op-ed for HuffPo they might be reflexively attacked as some kind of SJW.

       

      Pop's position commands respect from those same people, and he's using it to provide really valuable leadership. He shows that you can be someone in his shoes and "get it", in what appears to be a thorough and heartfelt way.

      Pop is a clown. And his best player tim Duncan is a clown also.

      Pop's (very political) statements on broader social issues are dumb too.

      Sorry, really. I’ve got contagious football depression. Maybe it would help if I got rid of that Squidward pic. Nah, I’ll wait until there is something to be happy about like the announcement shortly following the Iowa game....and then the next one when UCF’s games are finished. Brought a little smile to my face just thinking about it.

      I commend Stanley and Spielman having great statistical seasons, and playing hard throughout the season.  However, if either or both of them break the single season receiving yardage record, it would be an empty record to me.  I know individual records should be commended, but when they are accomplished during such poor team seasons, I find it hard tto celebrate.  I am much more of a team outcome kind of guy.

    4. The Dude

      Totally awesome.  Hopefully Stan returns for his Senior season.

      Considering we had folks from the selection committee in attendance at the Nebraska/Penn State game (and the same folks at the Kansas game), I think as long as we either win or make the Michigan game come down to the wire (assuming they get by the Illinios/Iowa winner), we're in. 

      Honestly, we should already be in as-is. We just don't have the name cache for basketball that other B1G schools have...but here's hoping this wasn't a one-year fluke again, and SMiles can actually build on this success for next year. 

  18. Extremely excited for the BBC's upcoming adaptation of His Dark Materials (ft. Lin-Manuel Miranda!)
