Early impressions of our competition...

gary-7
...originally posted in another thread --- decided to start a separate topic:

Made a point of watching a good bit of quite a few games post-facto (I love having ESPN3, ACCNx and SECNx on my Sling), and KU is as good as you'll see but no one is markedly better than other top teams --- plus all teams are works-in-progress even as far as scouting (most of that gets done during holiday events anyway).

Early impressions just from what I've seen:
- KU is legit, and so are we. In fact, if the staff will make the proper tweaks, we can be better.
- Gonzaga was a dadgummed juggernaut in slamming Baylor then turned around and damn near lost to a blah Arizona State team at home --- Zags are loaded on offense (and have the rare PG who's in Cadeaus's league) but struggle defensively (as Mark's recent teams have seemed to do).
- Houston is vintage Sampson thug-ball, but Auburn took them down at Houston.
- Speaking of AU, they're friggin scary if they're clicking
- AZ still has Caleb and an elite PG in Bradley and a buttload of incoming firepower
- bama is loaded again, but with the caveat that they have Oates
- I've seen just enough of dook to be (once again) not be as impressed as the fawning media, but they added Flagg and a shooter and a rangy Big with enough size to be a problem. Games with them will be the usual wars.
- I have not seen MIch State yet so I don't know what Izzo has this year, and just a little bit of uk --- so yeah, I'll be paying attention tonight

BTW, an early dark horse team nobody wants to play is North Florida. They've already beaten S.Carolina and GaTech on the road (and Tech ain't half bad) --- ain't gonna scare anybody at the airport but are matchup hell. Will be interesting to see what they do at UGA tonight...

Lots of people voted for inflation even though Trump couldn't have done anything about global inflation.

Lol. This is telling, at least to those of us that figured out a long time ago that the government doesn't have the best interest of Americans in mind. Yet you and the other foolish libs here keep flexing when establishment politician after establishment politician endorses your candidate.

You'd think y'all would have figured it out by now. Yet here we are.

Hmmm. Let me see…I correctly called the election. Check. I even went so far as to say it wouldn’t be close. Check. Pretty sure I called taking the Senate too. Check. Meanwhile you were swearing the enthusiasm for Kamala was intense. And that Trump wasn’t even close because crypto bros had propped him up in the betting markets. And that no one was attending his rallies and those that did were leaving early. And that all of us Trump supporters were gullible for believing he was going to win.

Lol. Tell me again who the dummy is. This is fun.

The Carolina NIL team has generously provided my company, Campus NIL, with three tickets to the Wake Forest football game this Saturday night.

Additionally, I have been invited to attend the pregame NIL tailgate, which will take place on the 5th floor of the Kenan Football Center from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. The tickets will be sent out at noon on Friday to the designated email address, and I will ensure they reach the winners by Friday afternoon.

At the tailgate, there will be light refreshments and a chance to learn more about our outstanding student-athletes. This game is also designated as a “blue out,” so please wear your Carolina Blue to show your support!

If you’re not interested in attending the tailgate, feel free to enjoy the game!

If you would like to join us at the tailgate, please email me as soon as possible at info@campusnil.com. If there are multiple interested parties, I will conduct a quick raffle. I aim to give away these tickets today, so please respond promptly.

Regarding abortion... the Pro Choice crowd pushes the mantra that abortions are illegal ... far from it.

The official law in North Carolina: abortion is LEGAL through week 12. In the case of rape or incest abortion is LEGAL through week 20. In the case of a life-limiting fetal abnormality, abortion is LEGAL through week 24.

Many States have this exact same set up. What exactly is wrong with this?

Pro choice crowd wants to ensure that if a medically necessary problem happens late in the game that the mom isn't at risk due to bad laws (poorly written or otherwise). So that's one problem.

Another, can life-limiting fetal abnormality happen after week 24? If so, i'd have a prob with NC's law. If not, then cool.

Finally, a problem is that many states DO NOT have a setup close this.

As soon as it became obvious that Kamala was running primarily on Social issues, I knew Trump was going to win. Americans vote with their wallets FIRST ... always have, always will.

Still stunned that the Dems chose HER to run against Trump: a liberal woman from San Francisco 😆😆 She has to be one of the worst POTUS candidates in history.

But she filled up airport hangars and coliseums. How can this be?

I'm still gullible? Certainly not for believing the betting markets and the polls I was seeing and disregarding the polls that you, @Heels Noir and @joeydavid kept sharing from the Twitter handle Kamala HQ.

So what exactly points to me being gullible?

If I were Hubs, I would run the offense we have been practicing for months! RJ isn't the issue, Seth is being used perfectly, JWit just played his best game as a Heel, Cap is finding his speed, EC is confident in his game and shooting, Lubin gave us exactly what we needed, Drake scored, rebounded, and guarded, JWash flashed some man-sized play and must increase it, sooooo.....you don't fix what ain't broke-you tweak what ain't working perfectly! AND we gave the best team we will face this year all they could handle and almost won!

Do you really see Kansas as the best team we will see this season? I am not sure they are, I would maybe have both duke and bama ahead of Kansas and Ky could move ahead of them. Tonight's game with duke vs Ky will be really interesting, kinda must see TV for we college basketball junkies.
