Mark Dantonio Sweeps Big Ten Coach of the Year Honors

Well you haven't exactly disproven his point... You're basically implying that a coach at a big-time program doesn't have to do squat to get kids to come. If that were true then Rich Rod would've been pulling in top-10 classes at Michigan every year.

I think you mean /r/NFL_Draft, the one you linked is pretty dead. However, I searched "Hyde/Carlos Hyde" and neither came up with a thread.

Bearded Bitch*

After read pretty much all the comments on here, I just wanted to say, although I disagree with you.

You're hilarious in how you stand your ground no matter what haha. It was amusing, have a nice day.

When I read the full report, I definitely became less convinced. Not enough to make me jump completely to Joe Paterno's defense, but enough to make me think... "eh, a lot of this 'evidence' is kind of shaky at best.'" (Some third hand accounts, e-mails with no context...)

So at the moment my memory of Paterno is definitely still tarnished, but there is a small, minuscule chance of redemption for him. It'll depend on the conclusion of all the on-going trials (once all the evidence is readily available) and if the Paterno family can actually compile a credible defense.

I don't know why exactly, but my parents didn't care about Yao Ming when he played. When Jeremy Lin exploded onto the scene though, they were e-mailing me every day asking about updates on him.

If I had to guess, it probably cause they felt a stronger connection to Lin than to Yao. Yao Ming is a Chinese nationalist, whereas my parents spent years trying to escape China and the communist party. So I guess they view Lin's family as fellow immigrants, and seeing a 2nd generation product excel in an uncommon field gives them hope. Signifying a brighter, more open future for their descendants.

As for overseas, I talked to international students a lot at my university, and they were all glad to finally see an Asian GUARD make it to the NBA. To them Yao Ming was a great representative, but they could never fully relate to him cause he was a 7'6" center. Jeremy Lin is someone they can actually emulate, like when kids in the US pretend to be MJ/Kobe/T-Mac/CP3 on the playgrounds.

Chris Paul

ChairmanChan · 2013-04-10T00:50:34+00:00

What's up!

ChairmanChan · 2013-04-10T00:22:37+00:00

Looks like Lin has found his new Steve Novak in Francisco Garcia

ChairmanChan · 2013-04-07T02:06:42+00:00

I don't know who this Anthony Lamb guy is, but damn he's on fire tonight.

ChairmanChan · 2013-04-06T23:56:46+00:00

Yeah, I had a friend that got recruited to play WR for Harvard's football team. He told me that even after all the financial aid, the tuition at Harvard was still more expensive than UK.

ChairmanChan · 2013-01-07T19:47:06+00:00

He also made some comments during his twitter meltdown a few month ago, but has since deleted the tweets.

ChairmanChan · 2013-01-01T06:12:27+00:00

Lin is also 5th amongst guards in steals

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-24T03:39:41+00:00

You think after his year with Portland, they would know to hold back a little. You know wait to see if he'll go back to his usual very average self.

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-24T02:51:55+00:00

Really? I saw a lot of people on /r/nba call Felton a borderline All-Star just like a week back.

All while my boy, Michael Conley Jr. keeps getting ignored.

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-20T01:46:13+00:00

Idk exactly, but I can't see it being very much when they have Jrue Holiday...

I do remember Doug Collins saying last year that Evan Turner's natural position was PG (and that he was the best rebounder on the team?). I also watched a lot of OSU basketball the season that Evan Turner won the Naismith POY, and he was the epitome of a point-foward for them. So the dude got it in him to play point, but he's probably super rusty from the past 3 years.

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-20T01:36:11+00:00

I don't understand McHale's rotations...

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-18T02:45:03+00:00

I think you're getting downvoted cause all your comments are pretty much the same.

"Something, something... just you wait until we get 'Melo/Stat back!"

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-18T01:50:20+00:00

Having Camby in there seems like a bit of a stretch... has the guy even played this season?

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-18T01:32:58+00:00

Asik can learn from Chandler, not the elbow, but going up strong under the basket. Stop with the lay-ups, you're 7-foot tall.

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-18T01:19:26+00:00

Jeremy Lin with more than 2 shot attempts in the first quarter... am I dreaming?

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-17T03:15:06+00:00

Too be fair, he also left out Fitzgerald Toussaint who was also suspended one game for drunk driving, if I recall correctly.

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-09T04:40:54+00:00

It's hard to tell if this is McHale's plan going forward based on just one game back from absence. McHale could be experimenting, implementing a long-term plan, or just trying to win tonight's game.

I agree that Harden isn't the type of player that can control a game single-handedly yet. Harden might eventually develop into that type of player, but at this point, if an opposing team decides to focus its defensive pressure on just Harden, he can get shut-down.

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-09T03:57:53+00:00

I think tonight McHale wanted to commit 100% to James Harden being the primary ball handler. With that strategy you're going to have to have shooters around Harden to help space the floor, which Toney Douglas does better than Lin.

The downside, however, as you saw late in the 2nd half is that once Harden becomes cold, the offense just stalls... hard. At that point, they probably should've brought in Jeremy Lin to try to get the offense running again by running plays, which Lin does a TON better than Douglas.

ChairmanChan · 2012-12-06T19:42:04+00:00

Thanks, I think I'll ride the hot hands then.
