Early impressions of our competition...

D
Just going to say it, Scheyer is very over rated. Look, you get multiple 5 stars hand delivered to you every season of course you are going to win a heck of a lot of games, gary's "trained chicken" could do that! Literally face could just roll the ball out and go to dinner with his wife (ala Calipari) with that kind of talent. But let them have to face a solid opponent that may not have the talent level but is well coached, one that hits them in the mouth the same way they like to hit others, the wilt. Scheyer is a glorified baby sitter for future NBA first round picks, same as Caliapri. All that length, no starter shorter than 6'6" and I see Ky driving to the basket, I see wide open jumpers splashed, I see that same ole duke defense.

Maluch and Flagg do inject a defensive threat doing what they were already doing before coming to duke. But when it got down to the most important part of the game, who was it again that gave up 2 crucial turn overs that cost the dukies that game, the face of ESPN, Flagg. Why, cause maybe your 6'9" star shouldn't be taking the ball the length of the court only to drive to the coffin corner and fumble it away. Maybe a coach should have called something different than that.

All I heard going in to this game was how great K'snipple had been playing, last night, K'sNipple got pierced, wonder if Micky thinks it is cute? LOL

On a more serious note, talking to my duke buddy yesterday, we agreed, Flagg is good, he is darn good but if I had the first pick in the next NBA draft my pick would be Budinga, Bill Self has a future super star there, the raw talent on that kid is mind numbing. Flagg would be my #2 pick and Maluuuuuuuch would be in my top 5 (I can just see Maluch in the NBA waving his finger shouting "no no no no no" like Mutumbo! LOL

But all the hot air in his balloon coming back to Chapel Hill is gone. Unless he delivers something truly Big, like ACC championship, the fans will just keep away more and more.

Mack could help the program by becoming a talker for it -an ambassador for UNC football, or that job for the ACC. But the longer he stays as UNC HC, the deeper the hole the next coach must climb out of.

One note as an aside: games like last night always present a challenge for me until they invent a way for both teams to lose.

the cynical joke is to not pick one team or the other but to wish for the arena to collapse.

And I'm kicking myself for missing another opportunity to see dook lose, especially in a heartbreaker. Heartbreak for them and not me, of course. I want no misunderstanding in that regard.

Yeah, I doubt Elon spends any meaningful time away from Tesla/Starlink/Twitter to do anything noteworthy. I do find it interesting that the party of small government creates totally new roles when that job could have just been given to a position that already existed.

ETA: there's also a shit ton of government money going to them, so I'm not sure they are the best choices for an independent look.

2ETA: And unless Trump is going to cut back on defense spending, SS and Medicare, he won't be able to make a dent.

a few 'new roles' doesn't even show up as a blip on the big gov. radar. And if something specific is going to be achieved, it would behoove to put a specific someone in place.

Here's a better example of mindless big gov. expansion. When Romney was debating obama, he was advocating the private administration of medicare, largely because of the huge amounts of bogus and otherwise uncollected monies. obama snowed him by revealing that he had fairly well solved that problem by creating a separate bureau just for the purpose of going after that money, and he bragged that they had something like a 50% recovery rate (IIRC). Romney was too slow to counter that obama had just made his point....that in order to clean up what one bureau had mismanaged, an entirely new area of government had to be created, and that it was only half successful at their fundamental reason for being. He might have added that maybe obama should have created yet another bureau to collect what the second bureau failed to collect.



"2ETA: And unless Trump is going to cut back on defense spending, SS and Medicare, he won't be able to make a dent."

You have a good point...but you forgot to include entitlements in general.

The only thing I've seen that seemed sourced and definitely legit was that Oprah's production company, Harpo, got paid a million per FEC filings. I didn't see the actual entry on the form, however. At this point, I don't know if any of the other numbers are true in terms of the celebs and what they were allegedly paid, but sadly, nothing would surprise me.

Just doesn't seem logical for some of them. Beyonce is worth a billion, so $10 million is nothing for her and she's never been known as a Republican. Eminem is worth hundreds of millions, has been shiting on Trump for almost a decade and has been political for almost three decades. Like I said, I guess it's possible, but doesn't seem probable. At least for some on the list.

Supposedly he got caught cheating and was kicked off campus. The option is there for him to return, but I've heard it's unlikely to happen. All we can do is wait and see.

I don't think he'd be a starter or the first big off the bench. He was an absolute foul machine last year. I doubt he'd be ahead of Washington, Withers, or Lubin. But if his 3pt shot from summer games actually translated to real games, he'd be helping us more than Cade Tyson currently is.

You used the word " cheat" here. You further state they Z was " kicked off campus". I will say that is a strongly worded allegation. Therefore, please give proper credit to your source here. Thank you...

I am truly sick of Colonel Flagg! He is good but not a game changer on the pro level imo. As for now, I think we will have more trouble with Mariachi and Knipple! Right now, Face is so enamored with his shiny toy he lets him try to win in hero mode. In the midst of the Kentuck run, nobody is talking about Col Flagg's multiple turnovers! BTW: Knipple is the new flopmeister and will most likely become the face of hate!

BTW: I loved watching the team the media slobbers over lose is such demoralizing fashion!
