You done messed up girl!

She's off the rails now and looking for a fight! Me and Oda's cool and all, but I'm wanting to go play Red Dead, not fight with a bunch of LV fans.

******************************

@SweetasSoda don't get me caught up in there. As far as me and the LV Forum is concerned, I'm in "lurk" mode only.

😂 I thought that might get some really good comments!

It’s not eleventy gazillion years old. It’s about 4 billion years old.

How old do you believe the universe is?

I have no idea but the scientific community can’t even justify their own theories. Supremely flawed reasonings. Earth slowing down, moving away from sun… extrapolate that our billions of years and this earth was too fast and too close to support life.

To be fair, they do have a +/-1% of 45 million years haha. An insane amount of time, to us, in itself. It could be slightly older given accretion time on top.

Multicellular life is very new. Well less than even 1bb years. We are moving away from the sun, slightly. In the next 5bb years we'll have moved .2% away, but the earth will be naturally uninhabitable well before that anyway.

I don't get the Hammon thing or I'm missing something. She's never coached in college, at any position. Never recruited. Dealt with NIL. 18 year olds. NCAA bylaws. It's a whole different world.


Been a HC for only 2 seasons. What's the love affair with her?

Let’s pretend it’s 1992. Do you think a men’s program might have been excited if Phil Jackson was hired to be their coach?

"They" couldn't even get them to "complete" the Big Ten tournament.

Edey's about to face Burns...then Clingan.

Purdue is certainly beatable. If we had hit a few more shots, especially DK and Aidoo's early whiffs, we just as well could have.

Think UConn puts them down.

Listen I get it but if Andy Reid wanted to come here if we had an opening I wouldnt say no because he didn't have college experience.

I know it's not a perfect example because of his experience but she has won the last two wnba championships.

The only question would be if she had NBA coaching aspirations. She very well could be the first Female NBA head coach. She has interviewed a few times and I think it’s only a matter of time.

Edit: having said that, if she wants to come here, I would be all for it.

An NBA team? After being a HC for 10 seasons and coming off B2B titles? Maybe so. I could also see people saying his recent titles were just Mike...Pippen...etc. have to remember, he wasn't Phil Jackson at that point. And many of those types never pan out or it was just the players.

A college program? Whole different beast. You can't walk into having Mike and Scottie. Have to go recruit them and develop them from 18 year olds into men. Then they just leave 1 year later anyway lol.


She seems dedicated to the pro level. Not sure why you'd take a horizontal salary move for far more work. But if she ends up being that elite in a few years, we could pay her 5-6x time and take over for Barnes.

You’re overthinking this, Devo.

Let me help you out: yes, every college basketball program in America that needed a coach in 1992 would have done backflips if they had hired Phil Jackson.

Now, would it have worked? Much different question.
