That’s exactly what started this….the absolute. You stated CJH had to win now to ever reach Saban/Kirby. The point is both of those had advantages of having the most talent than other teams even though they are good at managing that talent. CJH has not even gotten to a good two deep yet and suddenly he absolutely has to win this year, or he will never be a good coach. Disagree. Watched Fulmer build a team. Takes time.
Ok, that is a fair point or question. My absolute statement operates from the perspective that I think he has enough talent. It is fair to say it might be 2026 before that is absolutely true or fair. If he is of a Saban or Kirby caliber he will either have to recruit to their levels or outscheme them. I think we will know this year. I have seen glimpses of the first already. But NOT against Kirby. It is true that may be too high a bar for some to agree.

And he will until someone upsets him with lesser overall talent.
Closing ground with talent will not diminish his advantages, just mitigate them. Still would be be upsets aided by good plans and effort and the right bounces of the ball. See Dobb Nail boot game. Have to get within the margin of talent and go for it.

This would be a pretty weak bracket.
If we didn't make it to the Houston game, it's a complete failure.

Michigan state is always a threat (revenge game for crippling them at the start of the season) - anssuming they beat Colorado who whooped us last year, and Marquette is no slouch (can beat anyone on a good day). But I agree, missing elite 8 this year is a bust (especially in this bracket).

I’ve never had the issue you’re referring to but I did used to have issues with them falling out while running, working out, etc. I mainly use my pros for work calls and there was no issue there but I eventually bought these for $15 for the times I did need to worry about it and they were game changing. Whenever I was going to work out or run I’d just slip these on them and they’d be snug and wouldn’t move at all. Very comfortable too.

It was so unusual....next time you have your pro 2’s on you,pull the rubber piece off and look at it.when you go to put the rubber piece back on it kinda like clips onto it in a way I still don’t understand how it does that.without the black piece behind it they won’t stay on at all.but I’ll check it out for sure thank you.
 
I know people throw money away to get an apple on the label. They are like the Bose of devices. Except Bose at least has some of the better active noise canceling.

Interesting I feel the same way about Bose but I’ve never really messed with them to be fair..I was reading the reviews on Best Buy regarding the noise cancellation and supposedly these are better than Bose and the Sony WH XM4’s which are 900$ by themselves..so this review definitely sold me if you’re interested in reading it.

Trying to decide between these and the new Beats Studio Pros, which reviews say are pretty solid and Amazon runs really good deals on them all the time. Looking forward to hear what you think when you get these.

State can't score.
Colorado is mid.
Marquette has Cole... if you shut him down you're most likely winning.

I had beats and wasn’t really impressed.definitely feel like you’re paying for the name when it comes to those..if you want headphones for bass and don’t really care about the noise cancellation I’d recommend skullcandys those things are insane very affordable and they’ll have wondering around lost from being into your music so much😂

Yeah. I have some solo 3s I got when I bought my Mac, and they’ve been ok. Just want something better. Just hard to pull the trigger with that price. May just have to treat myself.

I use headphones all day everyday for 3 years now. Currently I use soundpeats q30's with sonic foam tips for 30 bucks everyday 24/7. Before that it was a small brand called Phaiser with dual drivers that could smoke airpods and they ran $50. I have 0 complaints with either and the bang for your buck was off the charts. Beats are over priced and so are Bose and sony. If I wanted audiophile level headphones I would go the planar route from monoprice and get them directly from the manufacturer versus branded. When you are spending 900 on headphones for a conference call or jogging you are chasing something I cannot assist with.


$30 on amazon

I can link some articles but are we really questioning Kirby’s ability as a defensive mind?

I’m not saying he would have the same success with our roster. But acquiring talent is part of the game. He’s good at it. And that definitely gives them a built in advantage.
Pruitt did the same at AL as Kirby. So do we really know his ability as a defensive mind? Good at managing talent obviously.
 
You believe local media’s job to be to criticize the coaching staff? Guess that’s where we differ. I believe their job is to discuss the program, build relationships, help players tell their stories, bring in experts on topics instead of themselves being critical of personnel decisions, scheme decisions, etc.

You can have discussion without telling everyone what “should be happening” based on nothing more than opinion.

Now if we’re going 5-7 every year, prob gonna remove the guardrails a little more nahmean.

So we just have different views on their jobs.

Sounds more like propaganda and less like reporting though. Maybe it’s not their job to criticize but they should pose reasonable questions and share news both good and bad.
