Good to hear you return. So hard to predict what we will see from this completely new and unknown group of players.

Have to disagree with your take that Addae-Wusu may come off the bench. This team is short on players with Big East experience and who play how Sha demands with physicality and toughness. Dylan has all of those things and has to be an example for the new guys. He has a lot of weaknesses but I expect him to be a team leader, starter and perhaps be a guy who handles PG duties while the newcomers adjust.

The only other definite starter is likely Toumi as our only healthy big guy. The other 3 are up in the air. Coleman, Chaunce, Garwey, Middleton, Aligbe & Harmon are all in the mix and I think it could change game to game.

I agree with you that Chaunce is likely to start. He is a 3-level scorer and we will need his scoring and ability to create his own shot.

My gut says Chaunce, Coleman and Middleton will join Dylan and Toumi as starters tomorrow. However, earlier this week Coleman and Middleton were still battling injuries so it's anyone's guess. Thankfully we finally get to see this team for the first time tomorrow. Could be a tough, ugly game against a good defensive Bashir Mason team that won the MAAC Tourney last year.

We actually did say that Dylan is going to start. We were just having some fun with that segment and throwing out some other hypothetical lineups and the rationale as to why they could work.

But Sha is going to want his defensive minded senior leader out there to set the tone on that side of the ball. So I do agree with you that he starts.

Based on reports that Jenkins was our leading scorer in both closed door scrimmages, that would lead me to believe he is a starter. Need the experienced scoring option.

I expect when Coleman is healthy to see him starting along side Prince and Toumi.

Could Middleton be an interchangeable piece. Of course. Does he have to be an important piece for us to be success. absolutely!! So does Dual and Harmon.

We need to beat teams with waves of energy and everyone contributing. That also needs to be Tubek and someone at the 5.

My biggest concern with this team is that they will have to go with smaller lineups, but don’t shoot the three ball well enough to make you pay with those pieces on the floor.

Hope they prove me wrong.

SNL Violates Equal Time Requirements

By having Harris on last night and offering no time to Trump,but it is ok because their network is supporting Trump.They did it in a sneaky way to late for Trump to get equal time.These guys say Trump is a threat to democracy and they are the pot calling kettle black but since the left thinks they always have moral high ground their cheating is justified.What hypocrites
Click to expand...
Oh no, not the equal time requirement! 😭

If this is strictly about SNL (and it isn't), how was Trump able to host as a presidential candidate in 2015 and none of the other candidates were able to do it? I would have loved to have seen Jeb! on SNL riffing with Kenan Thompson.

Completely facile argument - if Donald Trump did the Iran nuclear deal and Biden subsequently withdrew from it, I would have considered it an error of the Biden administration.

Completely disagree. There would be proof of this type of behavior from you by thanking Trump for shutting down little Rocket man.

Can’t read the article because login info is needed but I’m guessing an article written in 2024 has much to do about how Biden handled the sanctions.

I understand the point you're making, but the answer is yes, I do think the people speaking out for "naturally born women" are being misogynistic.

I think people are going to look back at these trans panic ads in 30-40 years and conclude that this country still had a long way to go in terms of tolerance and acceptance.

Yeah and he added tons of sanctions on them after. So it's not like he withdrew from the deal and walked away. He went about it differently than Obama, who allowed them to continue research and development on nuclear weapons. If you're cutting them off why the hell did we allow them to continue R&D? There was tons of pressure still being put on Iran just not through the Obama deal. That's the part that upsets you most.

What Iran deal? Was not approved by the Senate as all treaties are to be so there really was never a deal.

It's so weird how President Trump was able to withdraw the U.S. from something that didn't exist.

Election Prediction

I don't think so, his unfavorables have been bad from the get-go and he's still underwater by six and-a-half points there.

This is a big reason why he was a bad pick. GOP governors like Chris Sununu (NH) and Glenn Younkin (VA) are popular in their home states. They are also governors of states that could have been flipped to red (not an easy task but also not impossible - these states both voted for George W. Bush). They were right there and Trump decided to go with a freshman senator from state he was never going to lose, who not that long ago, said he was worried Trump could be America's Hitler.

No one cares about the last sentence. Harris called Biden a racist on a debate stage and was his running mate not long after.

It's always about whataboutism. You're supporting someone who can't answer any question without first (and usually only) bringing up the other guy, LOL. Isn't it ironic?

You're supporting someone who has low or no character. You're supporting someone who screwed their way to a career. You're supporting someone who put away lots of people of color simply because of marijuana. You support someone who believes in killing unborn babies right up to the minute of birth. Real character there. Very few have any character these days.

Obviously you don't like me (maybe never did?) and don't wish to be friends. We'll both survive, I just never want to surround myself with only the obvious echo chamber.

Old white man out.

So your answer is no one has character. Gimme a break. You can't answer aside from MSM talking points, which is something you of all people I find hilarious. I don't think anyone can. If you wanna play that game, you're supporting someone who wants to take free will out of people's hands. Don't argue the abortion issue, as that's a Christian value and You're supporting a "Christian" who has committed adultery times, among other things. You're supporting someone who can only say something nice to someone who says it to him 1st.

You are also condemning Harris for sleeping her way to the top? Conjecture much? At the rate you're talking, you probably think she's a "DEI hire."

Back to my original point, no one can defend his character without doing whataboutism. You can't say he's not worse than the others without lying to yourself. So again, I'll wait

Does Biden have character? Obviously not, see Hunter/Ukraine/etc. Does Harris have character? Obviously not, see boy toy married Willie Brown and misogynist husband Emhoff (I bet you want to smack me like Doug smacks women.) So don't cry me a river.

If you're going to argue about who has more character, Trump is going to lose that every time. Also, Doug Emhoff is not who's running for president.

It really is amazing that that you would allege misogyny about Emhoff and post this kind of stuff. A lot of casual misogyny on the board these days.
