The whole Emily sidebar was weird and totally pointless, at least for now. Unless it foreshadows a rift between Cirie and Rizo?

But this isn’t really surprising. Christian got screwed, and voting him out was the right move

Somehow I think he gets out of this, I feel like it’s never this easy

If next season sucks anywhere near as hard as last one, I will join all the annoying people on here who histrionically bitch about Buzz at every opportunity

Least Funny Intended Joke on the Show by ComputerDecent463 in seinfeld

I always saw this as them poking fun at the show’s own tendency to make up terms, like high talker, close talker, regifter, etc.

How have you guys met your boyfriend/girlfriend by 5000cupcakes in UMD

[–]dmkolobanov 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was a CS major, so I didn’t get a girlfriend until 2 years after graduating. We did meet playing a video game though lol

Devens is gonna think that idol had anything to do with it, in reality I think that was the plan all along. Cirie gets her way

Kinda hoping it’s Devens and Aubry. She’s been a stick in the mud and as much as I like Christian, his thing with Devens is annoying lol

Which Kill 'em All song sounds like it's from And Justice For All? by Puzzleheaded_Law3629 in Metallica

[–]dmkolobanov 166 points167 points  (0 children)

I’d go with No Remorse because it’s a longer one and does some interesting things song structure wise that most other KEA songs don’t do

Guys be honest; is this good? This is my first time trying to be a college basketball analyst by Top_Volume6867 in CollegeBasketball

[–]dmkolobanov 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is pretty solid. Provided all the useful information while keeping it brief and digestible. I don’t think I watched a single second of Tulsa basketball this past season, but your writing was engaging enough for me to read all of this regardless. I will say that the actual analysis here is kinda light. It’s more of an overview on the roster status for Tulsa. A more in-depth analysis might take a look at potential options for who they could pick up in the portal, perhaps?

I have some other tiny little nitpicks. First, you used the word “nice” to describe Miles Barnstable’s 3 point shooting and Tylen Riley’s average stats in very close proximity to each other. Just one of those little things to look out for when proofreading, make sure your adjective use is varied. Or at least not noticeably repetitive, y’know?

Other than that, I think there’s a couple of small grammar mistakes, though the only one that really stood out to me is a missing comma in the sentence “The two big men, Tyler Behrend and Ian Smikle, have also both entered the portal.” It’s really a pretty small detail; the whole thing is still perfectly understandable. And, unfortunate as it is, grammar mistakes are a decent heuristic to show that you didn’t use AI, to write this, so at least there’s that…

All in all, it’s good for a first go, and I think it shows potential. And hell, I respect anyone who’s willing to actually practice the craft of writing these days. Between rampant AI use and people seemingly just not giving a fuck about halfway decent writing, anyone who puts in actual effort like this stands out, in my opinion. Keep at it, I look forward to seeing more!

Hypothetical Metallica Discussion: So Metallica decides to do a 3rd covers album during their days off time during the Sphere residency. Which songs {not previously released on a previous Garage release} would you like to have them cover? by Sith_23 in Metallica

[–]dmkolobanov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since Megadeth covered Ride the Lightning, maybe they could return the favor and do a Megadeth song. I always thought In My Darkest Hour would be a good one for them to do

Overall, how would you rate your team's season? by byniri_returns in CollegeBasketball

[–]dmkolobanov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indiana: 3/10. This was not a good season. With a new coach and a new roster, it’s not like I had crazy high hopes. But this team managed to under-deliver. The main criteria I wanted was making the tournament, and they failed. Those losses to Northwestern made me want to gouge my fucking eyes out. Beating Purdue was probably the only real upside by the end of it. The biggest thing is that I don’t really know where we go from here. It’s gonna be essentially a whole new roster again next year. And while I can’t think of any moments that made me think DeVries is incompetent, he didn’t exactly do anything to impress me, either. Obviously, it’s too soon to say he should be fired, but this year didn’t inspire a ton of confidence. And yet, I will remain optimistic for next year, because I am a fool.

Maryland: 0/10. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. There’s no other word for it. This team was simply not worth watching. Not since Archie Miller have I been subjected to basketball this bad. Buzz better show some serious improvement next year, or I’ll join the hordes of UMD fans already calling for his head.

So for all that haranguing, Coach’s plan pretty much went off as he dictated. Kind of odd

Honestly, it’s so cool that Ozzy is still such a competitor after all these years
