I just saw yesterday's box score. Dalton. Freaking. Knecht. Holy sheet

Wow, I just looked, that's impressive.


Was listening to Ron Slay talk about him this afternoon for minute. Says those who doubted him were doing so because they thought he was already a finished problem that wouldn't develop. Slay said that's where they messed up, he was developed, but was already playing an NBA level game. Said he's right where he needs to be, he's got two stars playing with him, and he complements them and they complement him.

I didn't follow NBA like I did decades ago..... Is Knecht outperforming all other rookies to this point?

11th is a good spot…

Army has to face Notre Dame & Tulane still, so even if they win out and get in that’ll likely mean ND is out.

Ohio State and Indiana have to play head to head and then the winner will have to play Oregon in championship game, so good chance at least 1 BIG 10 team will be dropped.

Feel like if we win out we will be in, of course a few teams ahead of us could also lose and change where we end up. Still would like to see teams ahead of us lose.

We can’t simply win out and get in. Not based on these rankings.

Someone above us has to lose.

It really needs to be Alabama or Ole Miss - those are the only teams losing that guarantee us jumping in.

I took your post as an implicit position that you agreed with the meme.

Then you committed a fallacy. The meme is funny, because it plays into some of the asinine and inconsistent reasoning the committee has displayed and spoken. Whether they made the argument(s) in the meme or not is kind of irrelevant to the joke. I'll provide a disclaimer on future memes and jokes for you:

"The following fiction depicts a children's cartoon and not a real image or likeness of the committee or their statements."

If he could have run up the scores in other games this season he would have. We just don’t have the offense to do so this year, outside of the cupcakes. Other teams losing will matter more than the points we score against UTEP and Vandy.

Some games, sure.

He could have scored again vs Miss St, he chose not to.

Well they are playing for a spot in the national championship, not for the championship.


To your point, there isn't 64 teams in basketball deserving of playing for the national Championship.

There are not 25 teams deserving to play further for a spot in the national championship game.

I don’t think you can rightfully compare postseason football to post season bball/baseball. Not as easy to play additional games of football.

Hornets down by 1 with 3 minutes left to go, coach takes Lamelo out. Make that make sense….Lamelo is the best 4th quarter scorer in the NBA, by a lot.

NBA is the worst product by far lol

Saban begins LSU tenure at age 51.

Kirby begins Uga tenure at age 40.

Heupel begins Tennessee tenure at age 42.

I’d say given the state of the program at the time, we are ahead of schedule and not too far off the highest bars. A playoff appearance this year would add to the momentum. The record against Bama and uf better than last 15 years combined before him. Proud of heup and this team and hope they can continue to take bigger steps. Negas need not respond.

Who are the recruits we’re focusing on down the stretch besides current commits?

Campbell
Morris
Perlotte
Merritt

Am I missing anyone? Would love to see us flip an OL but don’t see it right now.

Also are Redmond and Lewis solid? How’s their seasons going? I’ve heard very little about them since they committed.

I think they meant the holidays and not the playoffs, but it works.


November 21, 2024: Refuse to get overwhelmed by the sadness of this season. Take life as it comes and God will give you the grace to navigate through difficult circumstances. Lean on Christ to bring you through to a place of peace. Psalm 46:1-4 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

I know there are several in the RF that place bets and are familiar with betting lines. Have you all seen any projected betting lines of the 12 team matchups?

I’m not even sure if a projected line is a real thing, just curious where Vegas would put a line at for example Tennessee at Penn State or Tennessee at Indiana or Notre Dame.

Sincerely, what is wrong with you?

I just don't want to answer your question. If you want to know what they said, go look at it yourself.
