If you were to ask nicely he might explain the difference between the umlaut and a dieresis.
Oh. You already know that. Well, then, take a bow. And don't forget to change the cat's litter, just in case it's still alive.

Definitely an umlaut.

Nah

Disciplined, smart, and big will be tough. A team that can break the press, get high percentage looks, low turnovers, and offensive rebound (see VT last year) will be a bad matchup.

The matchup problems will be teams athletic, skilled and disciplined enough to control PACE. A key objective of the way we play is to force our pace on the other team. We want them to take quick "out of system" shots. Teams that have guards good enough and smart enough to break the press and take the easy high-percentage shots but also turn down the questionable shot attempts and organize in the halfcourt to dictate the shot they want will be the ones that give us the most issue.

This reminds me of an elderly relative who lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was a fan of the Philadelphia Athletics, then owned and managed by Cornelius McGillicuddy, better known as Connie Mack.

Mr. Mack was known for his sartorial splendor.

I wonder what he would have thought of Bill Belichick.

Forgot to acknowledge this earlier. All my life I've known the name "Connie Mack" and that he was a widely respected and influential figure in baseball history. But your post was the first time I ever knew what his real name was! Thanks for posting.

I also always thought, regarding the '50s TV show "I Love Lucy," that Lucy's character's maiden name "McGillicuddy" was just a comedic, phonetic creation, and not an actual family name. I almost always come away from Volnation better informed about something.
