Quick stuff (JCS exhibition)...

Good question. They have practiced traps and Zone. If/when we see them remains to be seen...
Yeah, Gary, I want to see a bit more on the defensive end. Nothing drive me more bonkers is than to see opposing teams walk the ball up court on us, I am about putting game pressure on the opposing teams in every aspect, I want to force them to do what I want them to do rather than they be allowed to set the tone, throw the punch rather than take it and when you do make it a knock out blow.

I am not talking about a constant full court hard press but I do want my PG playing at least token pressure so their PG has to be concerned with a defender rather than thinking about the attack he wants to set up while he takes a casual Sunday afternoon stroll up court. I want that pressure to be like Seth's dribble, constant variation from token pressure to moderate (not risk a foul but increase the heat), to hard challenge of the inbound pass, to hard full court pressure with 3/4 traps set to funnel to the side line out of bounds, change it up. Throw the fast ball but throw the change up and the curve that make the fast ball look even faster. This speeds up the other team both physically and mentally and the body withers physically in he face of that kind of constant game pressure.

That kind of game pressure can neutralize the length advantage that teams like Kansas and duke will have on us and we all know what happens when the opposing team get physically and mentally worn down. They foul, they are not as quick to close out, they resort to more jumpers, they play their bench more than they want to, they are able to be beaten back down court (just to name a few).

I've never seen a comedian's jokes get an entire political party so shook before, lol. No wonder y'all can't meme.
It's entirely possible that the exaggeration required for something to be universally funny... was simply not achieved. Sometimes, every once in a while, cancer patients don't laugh at cancer jokes at a cancer fundraiser.

Somehow, DJT managed to lose Geraldo Rivera. I guess he finally said "Ya know, maybe Trump is too much of an asshole." That's no minimal feat given the level of BS that Geraldo can churn-out!

Bullies are the minority.

no proof at all, just an indication of two things; one is that thanks to Trump and his vehement protest over the validity of the last prez election, election officials are NOW going to be on their toes looking for these fraudulent activities and two, that such activities were widespread in the last election just as I have been pointing out.

In that last election that was touted as being the fairest ever executed, the legitimacy of ballots was tested at the point of vote-count and not the point of application for and filling out of absentee ballots.

Don't take this the wrong way but that's some of the dumbest nonsensical dribble you have posted. Good grief, does the cult run deep in you.

Of course it has happened before in small, isolated cases. It's certainly nothing that has been a "widespread" issue that has had any significant effect on the outcome of an election. For four years you've been singing the same tune about there being enough "circumstantial evidence" to show the election was bogus. There is absolutely no proof of this, just your mindless, biased opinion.
it's my opinion and not proven fact, as I have always maintained. My claim has always been that the election as conducted was bogus, meaning it was highly questionable. My post above echoes that conclusion and it's based only on what is observable combined with some reason and common sense; things that you possess in small quantity and use in in even smaller ones..

JJ Jones & Kaimon Rucker - ACC Players of the Week

Week 9 Football Players of the Week​



CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference Football Players of the Week have been recognized following their standout performances in Week 9 of the 2024 college football season. The selections are determined by a vote of a select media panel. The following are this week’s honorees.

RECEIVER – J.J. Jones, North Carolina, WR, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Jones continues to improve midway through the 2024 season, hauling in five catches for a career-high 129 yards to record the first multi-score game of his career in North Carolina's 41-14 road win over Virginia. He gave the Tar Heels their first lead of the game on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Jacolby Criswell. Later in the contest, Jones tacked on a 31-yard catch and score from Criswell late in the second quarter to make it 24-6 at the halftime break.



DEFENSIVE LINEMAN – Kaimon Rucker, North Carolina, Rush, Hartwell, Georgia

After being named a semifinalist for the Jason Witten Man of the Year Award, Rucker was a key factor in North Carolina's 41-14 road win at Virginia. The graduate student finished the day with eight tackles, matching his career high, 3.5 tackles-for-loss, a career-best three sacks and the first interception of his career. His three sacks are tied for the third-most in a game by a Tar Heel player and he now has 20 career sacks, which is tied for seventh in program history. His interception was the first by a North Carolina defensive lineman since 2015. He now ranks eighth all-time at North Carolina with 36 career tackles-for-loss.

You're full of it. The only thing Trump's accusations of cheating over the past four years has accomplished is distrust in the system and a whole lot of baseless conspiracy theories. There was no "widespread fraudulent activities" in the last election but rather just a bunch of bitterness and grumbling from sore losers like yourself.
oh, well why didn't you say so before? Why wait until now to be completely full of shit? Oh never mind, I just remembered you've always been full of shit.

To claim that what is being reported on here hasn't happened before is not just dishonst but really stupid. Of course it happened in that last prez election, the only question being to what extent. My logical claim is that the sheer number of votes, combined with the knowledge that the election as conducted lent itself to these sorts of activities, is circumstantial evidence enough that the election was guilty of being bogus.


eta...and by the way, genius, distrust is not suddenly some negative aspect of a loser. Distrust is why the very safeguards you morons use to claim the last election was fair, were put into place. Of course there is distrust in the activities and institutions that shape our environment, and it's a healthy consideration, and a distinctly American one. But if it's only a consideration not acted upon, therein lies the failure. Thank you Trump, for elevating the level of distrust enough that it is finally being properly acted upon, and serving to establish some justifiable trust in our systems.

typically misleading garbage. The only thing approaching racism was the first guy, and even he can't be shown to be actually racist although I found his comments as presented to be offensive and over-the-top in pointing out whatever it was he was trying to say. What was he trying to say? Who, knows, his remarks were as usual taken out of context. For all I know, he was joking or being sarcastic in making a point counter to what his truncated remarks seem to indicate. You can't keep up with all the ways the leftists have of deceiving, so it's wise to be skeptical...

A typical libdem tactic; if what you're criticizing happens to be of some persuasion other than white, you're a racist. And calling Hillary a POS was thrown in gratis. No one can be called racist for simply being aware of what Hillary Clinton is. Hell, she lost to Donald Trump, the candidate who was given no chance whatsoever to be elected. According to libdem philosophy, you would have to be a real POS to do that.
