I’ve always been a fan of Gary but do we honestly think anyone follows or supports our program solely because he is our play by play announcer. The last time I listened to a game on the radio Warner Fucell was broadcasting.

Well that's the answer TwitterGuy's dentist and orthodontist recommended it. All is good. Everyone should take it. I bet if Harvard and Cambridge knew that they wouldn't have even researched it. It must be good all around. Do you think fluoride might have an impact on the heart, on dementia, on the nervous system, etc? If so, would the impact all be positive?

Sha asked about message for the fan base: “Already? That question? I’m not sure how you guys want me to answer that question. I think that question is really not a good question right now. It’s three games in and you guys are worried about the fan base. Why would the fan base worry right now?"

Are you even serious now, Sha? Sorry, way down several pegs on the respect-meter from this alum / season ticket holder.

Beyond having no point guard, we have no shooters and no post players on offense. That makes it even more difficult for the few players with the ability to create for themselves to do so.

We're fortunate Jenkins has been as good as he's been (against the level of competition he's used to) otherwise this could be much worse.

To be clear…this is NOT what I said.

But I did say he’s got to be better than dissing a “pro” like Gary.

Let’s face it, us having someone like Gary doing our games adds credibility to our program…something we desperately need.

When he leaves I do not look forward to his replacement…especially given our future prospects in this NIl world.

The school needs to find a way to make a statement that they will fund at least $3 to $5 million in NIL out of their budget for all sports, with at least 3 million of that dedicated to men’s basketball.

They need to tell their donors if they do not like NIL, please donate to operating expenses from which we will be redirecting funds.

And they need to do this now. Not after every other damn high-level division one school does it… Which is our usual modus operandi!

Maybe, but seriously how much of a difference would it have made? We are what we are. A couple extra small potato donations for a year or two wasn’t bringing in much.

On that topic, how much do we have to spend for next year? And the year after? It doesn’t stop. Who’s going to fund this nonsense

What’s an athletic director supposed to do? Force 5 star players to come? This is same silly argument as the people saying Mara and Woody should sell the team. As if that will make any difference.

We aren’t able to compete in this environment. In fact, we are and so are others of our ilk on par with the lower level school for various reasons.

1 - lack of money ( it won’t change)
2 - lack of facilities ( it’s too late )

3 - the players we do get are plagued by the new age style of zero iq basketball and can only hoist 3s or barrel to the rim hoping for a foul. I think this is the biggest issue. There is very little diversity among today’s basketball players and it has severely leveled the field. Only true 5 stars are much different

The athletic director failed to have a vision or even the willingness to follow others and start an NIL strategy years ago.

Defense has been good. We forget what it's like to have no PG. This is what it looks like. Shaheen probably the best option even with a bum wrist.

dems suck, but trump is an unethical asshole. both are true. let me remind you the man is a felon. or did you dismiss that? he let jan 6 happen. did you dismiss that? maybe your memory evades you like the 2012-14 seasons

Truly hilarious to hear you mention ethics.... especially with "word on the street" type sourcing. Like the ethics (or lack thereof) the left has used for 9+ years to demonize Trump and lie about him and sabotage him at every turn.

And to hear Dem govs pledge "Resistance". Cry me a river. They just love living in their legacy media (I like that better than MSM) veiled parallel universe.
