We don't want stronger low seeds. We like Cinderellas. 16's have beaten ones. 15's ~often beat twos. We like that.

Expansion = Add more zeroes to the bottom line for the wealthy bastages. Yay!

Is it really, though? Think of all the effort, time, and money it takes to go through "the process," when he could find volumes of feedback, or perhaps reams of it, in the game threads here.

Indonesian: Means "come on," "let's," or "let's go" (often written as ayo), used to encourage or urge action. "Ayo, Ayo!"

Yuck. I think the wierdest fast food creation is that McGriddle thing with orange cheese and maple-y flavor.

Interesting, which one did you have in mind?

First thing I thought of lol

Did I miss something? In most of the depth-chart prognosticating, why is ZZ left out? After what we just experienced, any assumptions about Brown, Davis, and Zens seem premature, don't they?

This is where I think the concerns about adding a high-usage Blackwell are legit. Sure, he'd score a lot more and make more "wow" plays than Jake, but it's not hard to imagine the offense as a unit being just one step away from firing on all cylinders consistently. Starting tomi, mirk, andrej...

Meaning one starts and one is 6th, or did you mean to say "Davis or Morillo" and have Coleman for sure starting?

Occam's Razor: Everything was swell and going swimmingly in courting Blackwell (pun intended), but he just can't get over the nagging feeling that playing for Illinois would be wrong. Sometimes we talk about these recruitments as if the players have no say in the matter.

I would like to announce the winners of yesterday's Cottage Cheese Extravaganza... co-Gold Medals go to the proponents of Catalina and/or Western salad dressings as CCA (Cottage Cheese Accoutrements). Congratulations!

I meant that Vaaks has one year of CBB experience, and then we'll have potentially, what, 2-3 fresh-out-of-HS contributors. I should have acknowledged that we never know nowadays who may or may not stay after a season, but it sure feels like we don't have a roster full of upper-classmen...

Seems like the "get old, stay old" thing has gone the way of the dodo. We won't exactly be inexperienced next season, but the staff is obviously fine with recruiting younger dudes in the portal (plus several freshman noobs). I kinda like the balance we have because of it, in terms of being able...

I don't think it matters where they come from. Sounds like we're really really at the big boys' table this off-season and can afford to offer the best players lots of money with a straight face.
