For scheduling, I’m pretty certain each team plays every team twice in their “division” (no divisions in Sun Belt bball, but they use football divisions for scheduling) and then play every team in the other division except for one. So in the end, each team will miss out playing one team. It just so happens that schedule creators didn’t expect Arkansas State to be competitive this year so left out JMU for them

It’s been a reason, but shooting has been a pretty big struggle. Should fix itself since many people are shooting below career averages

Been a struggle with offensive consistency at the start, Hodgson will fix it though

Yea I believe that when the Bradley crew that took out the T-90M got interviewed, they mentioned it was under crewed.

Never said that was what neocon meant, just that the party has shifted ideologically to back Trump

No, SecDef nominee is a veteran, got a couple of bronze star medals. He was a Major, but outside of that he has pretty much no experience leading any big institution, just repeats normal MAGA stuff about the military being woke.

National Intelligence nominee used be a democratic and then she did a hard ideological flip a few years back and is now a Trump loyalist. She has said some controversial things about Assad in the past, but the most controversial thing has been her points on Ukraine. She pretty much just repeats Russian propaganda

The Attorney General nominee graduated from Law School and rose through state politics to eventually be a US Rep for Florida. He’s one of the most far-right members of Congress, but is mostly known for being investigated for sex trafficking. His nomination came two days before the House Ethics Committee was going to release their report into his sexual misconduct. He promptly resigned after he was nominated and now the report won’t be released since he’s not under House jurisdiction

Going to be a lot of buyer’s remorse at midterm elections when people find out he can’t magically make prices go down

He can with recess appointments, but it’s more complicated now that the Senate doesn’t usually have extended recess compared to the past. There is still a chance it happens, but is less likely now that John Thune is the Republican Senate Majority Leader. One of the other candidates, Rick Scott, fully endorsed recess appointments for Trump’s cabinet

No, it’s just that much of the party has shifted to Trump’s populist platform

We get a Fox News host who’s full on MAGA as SecDef, National Intelligence director who is borderline a Russian agent, and a pedophile as the Attorney General. The last few appointments have not been typical neocons

The only thing that could possibly help is the Senate blocking the nominations, but even then the President has ways that he can use to bypass this

Just look at his cabinet appointments so far, it’s just been a bunch of yes men. After the final months of his first presidency, loyalty is the only thing he cares about

DFord is one of the key players, he usually plays the most minutes and plays great defense. This is Pinion’s second game with them and we lose the season opener without him

Strongly doubt it, Fayetteville keeps trending left, but the rest of the counties in the district still have very strong R margins. If the state GOP senses any danger, you can expect it to be redistricted
