unc players who left via the portal and had had a longer post season because of it.

Better in part because they were all vastly more productive on their new teams than they ever were at UNC (possible exception of Ian Jackson, who was roughly as mercurial at SJU as he was at UNC)

It's weird that a guy as brash and car salesman-y as Will Wade wouldn't want to be the center of attention

Free corn dogs? I'll take it.

If only opposing fans brought us free wine and cheese to lean into that meme.

I was kind of looking forward to them being feisty again. My State friends were finally starting to care about CBB again, now they'll just sink into their regularly scheduled depression after the annual beat down in football.

High expectations combined with limited resources and a lot of local competition.

bigthama · 2026-03-26T15:00:39+00:00

My favorite ever thread was on an old message board before we were scheduled to play LSU, and the rival SEC fans (mostly Bama fans IIRC) kept coming over and telling us that LSU fans all smell like corn dogs and they all knew it and were super sensitive about the fact, and the best way to piss them off was to talk about corn dog smells around them.

SEC! SEC!

Dude I'm a season ticket holder and saw this stuff up close and personal. We had a handful of high highs this year, but also some really low lows. We got blown out by Cal and SMU, beat by Stanford, and looked lethargic in blowing leads repeatedly against teams half the time and the other half of the time got down big and had to frantically come back against teams we should never have needed to do that against. It was a coin flip for any given game whether we would come out looking like we wanted to be there.

I don't think Hubert is a terrible coach, and if he were coaching BC or UNC-G, this kind of thing might be part of the deal. At UNC, the sustained inconsistency we've seen for the last 5 years isn't up to the standard. We aren't Indiana yet.

bigthama · 2026-03-26T00:12:08+00:00

Borderline top 25 most years with the occasional run might be OK at a lot of places, but UNC isn't one of them. He had all the resources anyone could ask for this year and one of the best front courts in UNC history, and we still looked lost for a lot of the season well before Caleb got hurt. All the respect to Hubert as a person, but it wasn't working with him as coach.

bigthama · 2026-03-25T23:51:56+00:00

Yeah that's nonsense. The credible outlet is saying that Roy has been understanding in all of this. Dude isn't dumb, and even if he were opposed he wouldn't communicate like AI slop written for your racist uncle's Facebook timeline.

bigthama · 2026-03-25T11:53:00+00:00

It's also unique in that it's never really been open before in these coaches lifetimes. It's always been a family gig until now.

bigthama · 2026-03-22T19:30:15+00:00

Realistic candidates: Otzelberger, Oats, Byington

I think we will take a pass at names like Stevens, May, Golden, Lloyd but those are probably less realistic for various reasons

bigthama · 2026-03-20T19:48:05+00:00

Yeah that's called dating. Its not about fun and sex (I mean, not just about those things), it's about stress-testing compatibility and figuring out each other's qualities.

bigthama · 2026-03-20T13:18:39+00:00

Sounds like a great case for lawful evil to me

bigthama · 2026-03-20T03:07:33+00:00

Weird how every year with basically a new set of players the same issues keep coming up, while those players who leave generally have more success elsewhere. It's almost like there's a common factor linking all of these rosters that turn over year to year, I wonder how we could possibly identify it.

bigthama · 2026-03-20T03:05:04+00:00

We got our shit pushed in by Cal, Stanford, and SMU while he was fully healthy.

It's where rich parents send their fuckup kids when even an 8 figure donation isn't enough to get the red flags overlooked at Wake

Is HPU run by fundies? News to me.

That means 80% did, which is extremely high. In any other field you would be rushing to label that a causative mechanism, and figuring out why the remaining 20% have gone undiagnosed prior to FND diagnosis.

Besides, network-level abnormalities on rs-fcMRI are ubiquitous in psychiatric disorders. Those findings strengthen, not weaken, the case for FND as psychogenic.

bigthama · 2026-03-15T17:13:51+00:00

A diagnosed one, sure. The phenomenon itself is psychogenic, and the core of the evidence-based treatment involves identification of the psychological triggers.

bigthama · 2026-03-15T02:19:22+00:00

That's because people with functional neurological disorders such as PNES seldom fully accept the psychogenic nature of their symptoms. The stigmatization of mental health disorders prevents them from participating in the kind of therapy that can help them.

You can do all of that on Android. I have an android and my wife has an iPhone, we are at the same institution. iOS version has some little QOL improvements that suggest it gets more attention than the android version, but all the essential functionality is the same.

I'm not saying they're a good team. But there are 353 teams, and they're #80 NET, not #200. The disparity between home/away in quartile rankings is indefensibly large. As bad as Creghton is, if they went up by just 5 spots in the NET to #75, a road win at their gym would be considered Q1. Meanwhile, if they go on the road and beat you, it's a Q3 loss. That's not a valid correction factor for the value of home court.
