John Thompson? Really?
Yes. His players graduated. Iverson was first (or second) of his players to leave school early, pretty much. Ewing, Mourning, and Mutumbo each stayed four years. He had rules: no new tattoos, suits on road trips, no jewelry. Quite a few players washed out at Georgetown, couldn’t handle the academics. (Other than because of road trips, Ewing missed zero classes in his four years at Georgetown. That speaks more to Ewing than Thompson, but whatever.) One of my favorite Thompson stories: one of his players goes to JT and complains that he thinks one of his professors is racist. “Well, what are you going to do about it?”

Why were they completely wrong? Every poll in every swing state was a tight race. They all just tipped one way, but they were all still tight.
lol. Internal polling on Harris team never had her leading once.
now back to football.

Here’s a telling story: Mourning was down to Maryland and Georgetown and Maryland put him up at a swanky hotel with a tv in the bathroom. Georgetown had him stay in the dorms. That stopped working after a while (Kenny Anderson) but Thompson wouldn’t change his ways.

The media hyped her up like they are doing with sec an nd.

get it? Man you are stubborn
Calling you out for making everything political doesn’t make me stubborn. It means I’m not complicit with your political BS that you bring here frequently. NO ONE CARES about your political views. You brought politics into a football discussion and got called out on it then responded by saying, back to football. Not happening without a response.

My agenda is call out jagoffs like you who think everyone wants to talk politics.

Aren’t you a business owner? Pro tip. Don’t advertise your political preferences. You alienate potential customers.

I’ve seen your underhanded political posts before. You always have some DEI comment to make. Take it somewhere else. No one cares about your political opinion. You must think everyone agrees with you or it will go unnoticed. You’re wrong on both accounts.

Actually I’ve been right on all accounts actually and that is what pisses you off. I’m in state college if you would like to meet up and discuss further rather than go back and forth on this board.

For what it’s worth…people used to make posts on BWI about Myrtle Beach, and I used to respond mentioning razpsu’s restaurant.

Fast forward a few years, and all of the political posts turned me off enough that I now go to Myrtle every year with 16 guys for a golf trip, and I’d never consider it as an option. Without all of the posts, I’d be bringing in a crew of guys a few days every year. It’s unfortunate.

Who are "the media"? No large, diverse group ever shares one opinion- so how can it "always" be wrong?

At least be honest and say, "that segment of the media that I disagree with and blame everything for is always wrong IMO."

So you agree that the sec is great and 4 teams should be in. And even if ga lost to ga tech they should still be in cause 90 percent of the media said that and no one said it was targeting on the qb, except Desmond Howard for a brief second and they quickly moved on to how great ga was. Also that Colorado is all that.

Omg. The media was saying especially espn. Did you read all the above.
Your post said “So you agree…” meaning someone on this board. Nobody on this board is saying this. Quit deflecting. The post you responded to asked “who is the media,” and your response is “so you agree…” This is classic deflection, just a weak attempt to win an argument on a football message board. Try interacting with the posters as individuals for a change. And spare us your condescending “omg.”

You’re telling us that “90 percent” of “the media” said that a 4 loss Georgia should get in?

That’s not based in reality. Though if that’s how you’re consuming what is actually said, it explains why you get so fired up over politics.

Actually I’m not fired up at all about politics. Why would I be. Think lb99 etc are a little fired up about it.

I don’t subscribe so can’t read it. What was the example in there that shows that “90 percent” of “the media” said that a 4 loss Georgia should get in the playoff?

I guess I was giving you the benefit of the doubt in assuming you’re talking about a 4 loss Georgia team. 100% of the media (and everyone) should agree that a 3 loss Georgia team gets in at this point as the SEC Champ. That one is a no brainer.

they all seem to want Colorado in the playoffs. Rick N saying even if Buffs don't make B12 CCG, they should be candidate for at-large - with 3 losses.
Will they be in Detroit this year?

From the online reviews, you aren't missing anything ... the place is going in the pooper. Run down with incredibly slow service and blah food. It takes a lot to screw up breakfast but they seem to be making a concerted "effort" toward doing so. Maybe if he spent less time antagonizing on here and more time dedicated to his business, it wouldn't have collapsed. Then again, based on his posting here, maybe the problem is that he did get more involved.

Of course. Have we learned nothing? Self-promotion, and hype are everything. If you shout constantly about how great you are, half the world believes you because scrutiny and critical thinking are way harder than just buying into some *******’s obvious con.

it is sort of like Taylor Swift and the Chiefs.

UC is kind of moot now, as BYU, ISU and ASU all won. I am guessing we have seen the last of Travis Hunter in a Buffs uni. he is not going to play in a meaningless bowl game. Shedur may play given dad is coach.

Next year does Prime coach this team with his kids and Hunter gone?
