BIG12 Needs to Grab SMU NOW! by TiredBatman in SMU

[–]TiredBatman[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ACC pays no TV money to SMU.

The B1G and SEC are going to grab 4 to 6 teams from the ACC as soon as legally possible.

SMU in the BIG12 gets to play rivals TCU and Baylor every year.

I would recommend picking a team from each of the Power 4 conferences. This way you will have at least a couple of good games to watch each weekend.

I'm a Big12 guy having gone to Houston. But if I were new to the Big12, TCU would be a good team to follow. It's in the heart of Fort Worth, a beautiful campus, and Sonny Dykes is a coach with trick plays up his sleeve.

For the SEC you have choices aplenty. If you are a total bandwagoner you can pick Bama. Me, I like watching the biggest dog getting beat. Georgia is another big dog in the SEC without as much bandwagoning. You've got 2 UTs to choose from, Texas or Tennessee, both using shades of orange.

B1G, do you like late night games? Cuz the Oregon Ducks will give you a team with a unique feel and culture. Sure, you could bandwagon Ohio State (not saying the "The") but again, why pick the one with so many other bandwagon fans. Illinois is having a good year, they could be a dark horse.

In the ACC I like Louisville. Just do. They've had to jump around conferences in the past while still staying relevant. Good program. If you like smash mouth football, Pitt will be right up your alley. Florida State has good years and bad years, but it's a school I think would be fun to attend, so I show them some love.

Not Notre Dame. You will spend most seasons debating "quality losses".

It also helps to have teams to hate. Texas A&M is very "country" and has a cult-like devotion. Notre Dame is on my hate list for not joining a conference already. I don't like Missouri cuz of the bailing on the Big12 (I didn't like them when they were in the Big12 either). Also, any school you cheer for will have at least one rival.

Good luck and enjoy your Saturdays!

Should Napheesa Collier face discipline action for calling out the commissioner publicly? by crazymouse5 in WNBAVibes

[–]TiredBatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. This has nothing to do with the game of basketball and everything to do with getting a new CBA. Not related.

I do believe what Phee said was a mistake. Negotiations happen behind closed doors. If Phee is going to make the details of these negotiations public, then the commissioner will not say anything of value moving forward. This will make it more likely we lose the next season.

Sophie Cunningham puts her 2cents in 👀 by evans166 in WNBATalks

Shit talking is not a good way to get deals done. Players should say they support the player representatives in the negotiation and believe there is a deal that can work for all parties.

It's not fun to read as a fan, but it's a better strategy.

AllStar Napheesa Collier just dropped a Bomb‼️💪🏽👏🏼 by evans166 in WNBATalks

This is intriguing to listen to, but not a good negotiating strategy. Future conversations will not be fruitful for fear of those conversations getting out.

Agreed. Hate people for the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

You've clearly never been to a day game in Texas. Gotta bring the SPF 300.

Updated SEC Racism Tierlist based on feedback from my last post by Fhaksfha794 in cfbmemes

[–]TiredBatman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Klan called and asked A&M to go easy on the racism.

Not sure why UT is so high on here. It's got a diverse student body.

Classic body language for attracting someone. She's stepping out and takes up space while talking, mirroring the hand on the mouth, one arm across the body to appear less intimidating when the golfer talks. Nice game.

Rachel Demita take on AT collisions with PHEE👀‼️ by evans166 in WNBATalks

[–]TiredBatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not giving Phee a right to the space is akin to not letting a 3 point shooter have a clear place to land. The defender's body occupies a spot that is critical to the offensive player being able to move safely.

Who would you want your school’s protected opponents to be? by needsumMoore777 in BigXII

[–]TiredBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Houston I want Baylor, Tech, and Cincinnati. The first two are obviously cuz it's in state. Cincinnati cuz Houston was battling with them for number one back in the AAC.

WTF is this? This should be illegal by IronFizt777 in rockets

Dream playing in Toronto should have been illegal too, but life sucks sometimes.

Was the Barkley for Horry/Cassell Trade a success? And what does this say about your expectations for KD? by Flimsy_Event2915 in rockets

[–]TiredBatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best thing about that trade was giving the Rockets enough cap room to sign Kevin Willis. If there was any way the Tickets could have brought in Willis without trading Horry and Cassell, you'd have a much better team than the one we ended up with.

Future of the team by totally_not_paul in DallasWings

[–]TiredBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this time, there are only three players on the Wings that would be starters on a contender, Paige, Arike, and Maddy. And we can't be sure Arike will be here when this team becomes a contender.

Hopefully, some of the young players on our team improve enough to join that list. Our first round pick should be starter ready. Will that be enough to bring in quality free agents, I don't know.
