Pluribus deetz are needed now more than ever!

Scoop may not have been the best way to put it. Just behind the scenes chat about production, extras casting, and Vince and wanting to do more stuff with him.

Am I the only one who thinks Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad?

Except the last season which was in my opinion was god awful...Too many years lapsed since the previous season and the cast which should have looking relatively young (this was suppose to be pre- Breaking Bad for the characters) was looking like something from tales of the crypt...Ed Begley Jr. looked like he was brought back from the dead..

Feeling a lot like Florida, Michigan, Duke against having sick rosters, with UConn & Illinois right behind. Dusty is a problem. Not sure with Golden yet given he's gonna have these same bigs for 3+ years. Duke has a roster about 13 deep, so much $$.

No, I am specifically pointing out the narrative that Morillo is going to be a 4 at all. There were those that said he was our “back up 4” or our “emergency 4”…….. which is problematic.

1st reason: He is not a 4 and I would be STUNNED if he was our emergency 4, over Jakstys.

2nd reason: There was a narrative that because he is our “backup 4” or “emergency 4” we are doomed. There was a whole discussion about who he’d be able to guard at the 4. This dovetailed into “well what about the backup 4’s, could he guard them? Which then dovetailed into “any good coach would immediately put in their starting 4 against Morillo.”

But if we can just agree that Morillo is not a 4….. as a backup, or emergency…… we could finally grasp that we do have our backup facilitator and on ball guard. Which is what he is.

Rhea Seehorn walked onto my flight out of LAX one day and I got to fan boy and basically told her the same! BCS>BB
Kim Wexler is hot.
I invited her up to the flight deck and she came up and chatted with me for 5-10 minutes!
Fun BCS talk and got the Pluribus scoop.
She’s a gem.

Jealous. Rhea Seehorn is awesome. BCS is better in my book than BB but they are both incredible.

I think Michigan getting Thiam is good news bc it likely means Morez and Mara are for sure gone
Any insight into how good Thiam is? I know nothing about his game, but then again it seems the consensus last year was Mara was under utilized but not a huge threat IRC

Both players accumulated more win shares (according to sports-reference) and PRPG! (Torvik) at Illinois than their other school. Goode's most productive season was at Indiana though.
Neither will bother me near as much as seeing a K State after Coleman’s name
