ZERO credibility from a Dude that has been in office for almost 50 years. Zero.

The only thing wrong with the Court is it has a conservative majority. We lived with one with a liberal bent for decades. Suck it up, quit whining, and live within the system as we did.

Let's go win 3 games in the Bahamas.

Carpet Gym MTE.

Other teams are Gazelle Group Accounting, Boss McKinney All Stars, and Showtime. Games to 21, no dunking allowed bc no snap back rims. Entire event to be held on a Monday afternoon 3-6 p.m. with a DHall visit afterward if you can get there in time.

Two of the better remaining teams, Indiana State and Hofstra, have been added to Baha Mar Nassau...3 spots left there now.

There's also a new Troy MTE with Merrimack and UTSA joining them. Merrimack was supposed to be in the Arizona Tip-Off Desert Division, so their switch has opened up a second available spot in that one.

According to Blogging the Bracket, that leaves just 3 teams from the top 10 conferences without an MTE...Tulsa, us, and Southern Illinois. But Southern Illinois looks to be in Gulf Coast and GK thinks Tulsa will go to the Mizzou MTE (makes sense), so that leaves...us.

Still a number of spots left in both Gulf Coast and Baha Mar Nassau...either one would be pretty much a flop of mid and low majors, especially with Indiana State very unlikely to be near last year's level.

S-man's prediction of last girl getting asked to the dance is getting more and more likely.

What is your definition of "packing" the Court. Biden's plan is 3 fold: 1. term limits for Justices 2. an enforceable ethics code for Justices, just like for every other Judge in this country 3. calling for a constitutional amendment that no one, including the President, is above the law.

This is a massive breach of the Separation of Powers against a co-equal branch of government. It is also an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of Supreme Court.

I think we're holding out for Bryant's soon to be announced "Blackie's Invitational" .

On August 26, 2021, 13 US service members died because of a suicide bomber at the Abby Gate at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan. This is Harris' fault. Capitulation and appeasement abroad and open borders at home. Word salads for explanations.

Harris was the last one in the room with Joe Biden. She discussed this with Biden. Harris owns this failure.

If the above is "packing" the Court, sign me up. But I don't think you or anyone else who claims this is "packing the Supreme Court" understand what packing the Court really is. If enacted, these 3 things could work for and against Republicans and Democrats at different times. Biden supports a plan in which the President would appoint a Justice every 2 years to spend 18 years on the Supreme Court. So every President, regardless of party, would be able to appoint 2 justices in each 4 year term. Justices aren't up for election like the members of Congress are (though I support term limits for Congress too) so there are no checks and balances on Justices from the ballot box or from an enforceable Code of Ethics. Only on the Supreme Court could Clarence Thomas accept $4,000,000 in gifts from donors, some of whom had business before the Supreme Court, and not be held accountable. Further, he failed to report such gifts as required by law. Gee, I wonder why he didn't disclose those gifts?

I predict we will be in Gulf Coast event.

Good class, have know Rodney since middle school, one tough guy. Refused to back down, recall seeing him in early pro boxing attempt, was definitely a fish out if water. Recall some of the Coaches saying his was hardest worker in weight room.

Russ said would likely name starter Wednesday, did not say would be released to public. Speculation is Kyle.

Fan1, you missed the memo. This is not intended to be a balanced presentation of issues.

Mitch's machinations regarding court appointments put Machiavelli to shame. That was some good court packing there.

Arkansas appears to need OOC games. We know Calipari is not afraid of giving UR a game.

More from JOC. Wickersham seems likely to be the choice based on preseason, but Huesman is playing coy.

Huesman said Monday his intention is “probably not” to have a time-sharing arrangement at quarterback. “We’ll probably name one and go with him and work it that way,” said the coach. “I know Kyle’s a little bit bigger player, no question about that, but I think they both can execute whatever we’re asking them to do within the offense.

"I think you go with one and see how things are going. There's not going to be a plan to say, 'Second series, this guy comes in. Second quarter, this guy comes in.' It's probably not going to be along those lines.”

Agreed - even if the big games are away, you can still use this to drum up buzz for season ticket holders. As you could sell it as a possibility to see a very good team returning to the Robins Center after some big wins on the road. But the fact we have heard nothing is not good. This is not one of those areas where no news is good news.

we filled our portal spots in April and May. it's August. and we have 7 (?) games to fill?
or we're the only team keeping scheduling secrets and we ask teams we're playing to keep the secret too.

as for MTE's, it's not just the historically elite teams that have been invited. pretty much EVERYONE is in an MTE already. so no, they're not having a hard time evaluating Richmond while they have no problem evaluting everyone else.

I actually think we'll hear news this week. because it can't go on indefinitely. at some point you're the last available pretty girl to be asked to the dance.

I am preparing to be underwhelmed. I guess we could be holding back some super secret awesome OOC but that would defy both common sense and recent past history with how we communicated big game announcements.

I hope I am completely wrong, but I don't how one could be optimistic right now that we are not about to handled a giant sh*t sandwich of an OOC schedule.

I don't know, I have been thinking "we HAVE to hear something this week" for a while now ha.

I got the email from the ticket office about the renewal deadline coming up and I said I'm sure I would still be a buyer since I always am it's just a part of me would like to see a little more of the schedule. I don't think that's too much to ask.

I don't disagree, 97. I wanted Gilly more aggressive at tiems too. but he was a true PG. and a pretty perfect PG.
