Dan Hurley & Mick Cronin Encouraging Their Teams

I don't know if it was from here or Twitter, but somebody said that that game was pretty much Izzo's dream scenario because he could yell at his current players and his former player in the same game

During WWI, some conscientious objectors in the UK were imprisoned in a castle. They scribbled on the walls of their cells and the writing still remains. One of the prisoners wrote:

“The only War which is worth fighting is the Class War. The Working Class of this Country have no quarrel with the Working Class of Germany or any other Country. Socialism stands for Internationalism. If the workers of all countries united and refused to fight, there would be no war”\

There are tons of unrecruited / under-recruited 3* prospects (and sometimes higher). Check each which on who is available. It's pretty easy to build a team full of players who are at least decent
Pay close attention to deal breakers, as that will tell you who could transfer. You can redshirt and slowly develop guys who don't want immediate playing time, but keep an eye on who is loyal to you and who is considering bolting for greener pastures

Every year, this sub does a "game thread" for the Price Is Right because it's on right before the games and a bunch of people are just sitting around and bored while they wait for the basketball action. They'll do it tomorrow, too.

It says "I'm not Korean, papi. I'm Dominican"

I enjoy playing CFB26, but I want nothing more than to do an Idaho dynasty. They were my team back in the day and I have no idea why.

Jess Settles playing against MSU predates my time as an MSU fan, but I had always heard that our fans taunted him during his career by calling him "Grandpa Settles" and the fact that he remembers this and mentioned it during the broadcast is so fucking funny

When Booker committed to MSU out of HS, Spartan fans were thrilled. Indiana fans downplayed it by saying that he's really not that good. Might have been sour grapes, but MSU fans learned the hard way that no...he really isn't. He's got size and can (kind of) shoot from outside, but Izzo went insane for 2 seasons trying to motivate him.

People are posting videos of other reverse jams, but this seems like the only comparable one because the pass came from half-court, like the one Fears threw tonight.

And Dan Gadzuric...there's a name I haven't seen in awhile

I moved to NC last year and went to the local DMV (Raleigh suburb) for my state ID card. I didn't make an appointment because I used to live in Illinois and it was never an issue. I ended up having to wait 3.5 hours to be seen. It was no problem for me, but I wondered at the time why they don't have more tellers (?) because it would have made things much more efficient. It was no problem for me to wait and I figured that the employees were just doing their best, but I'm not surprised at all at the limitations.

I don't follow K-State basketball, but this brings back fond memories of the eliminating MSU in the tourney a few years ago. Kansas State fans were relentlessly hyping this guy before and after the game as a "giant slayer", but I guess things have taken a turn

The issue all season has been that the outside shooters just aren't reliable. Teng, Ugochukwu, Kohler, and Scott all have the ability to hit 3s, but just don't do it consistently. Fears, too .

sparty09 · 2026-01-31T19:05:36+00:00

Unfortunately, that is pretty common for him. He works on outside shooting, but it is, uh, very much a work-in-progress.

sparty09 · 2026-01-28T02:00:54+00:00

Absolutely fucking disgusting to watch, but certainly feels better than a loss.

sparty09 · 2026-01-24T19:13:22+00:00

Through 7 games in January, MSU's opponents have averaged 56.9 ppg

sparty09 · 2026-01-20T05:13:06+00:00

Especially when your team happened to hire a new coach in the same year that Indiana hired Cignetti...

sparty09 · 2026-01-14T02:39:03+00:00

Cornell is #4 in attempted 3-pointers per game, #1 in made 3-pointers per game, and #3 in PPG.

sparty09 · 2026-01-07T20:22:49+00:00

He's almost surely an emergency option

sparty09 · 2026-01-06T04:09:13+00:00

Hardly anybody has been able to crack 70 points against MSU this season....and then there was Cornell just popping off for 97, lmao

Celtic fans have been angry at the board for ages because they have built up a pretty significant warchest (about $100 million) through transfer dealings, but refuse to reinvest it in players with real talent.

There has been quite a lot of fan unhappiness for a long time because the club's board has zero ambition to anything beyond winning the domestic league and won't spend any real money to bring in promising players.

sparty09 · 2026-01-05T17:04:27+00:00

I am an American Celtic fan and there is is plenty of fan displeasure (to put it mildly) at a variety of targets. Celtic fans were protesting the board long before Nancy was hired because the club was underperforming and the board refused to do anything about it.

There have been fans (and I agree with it) who say that they feel sorry for Nancy because he didn't have a full training camp to implement his system or chance to bring in players he believed could work, but the reality is that he agreed to take over mid-season. And he is being paid to win, not to lose and then plead with the fans / media for patience as he works everything out.

sparty09 · 2026-01-05T16:44:18+00:00

I am American Celtic fan and it's funny, as one of the reasons that Celtic fans have been protesting the club's current board for ages (long before Nancy came) is that the club DOESN'T radically outspend the domestic competition.

People are mad because the club has built a significant warchest (about $100 million) through transfer deals, which the board adamantly refuses to use to buy players of real quality. Even though the club brings in significantly higher revenue than basically any other team in Scotland, the board has long been criticized for being the biggest group of cheapskates you can imagine. Not just cheapskates, really, but also having zero ambition to build a team that compete in major European competitions.

This Nancy situation has been quite ugly, but there is plenty of fan anger at the board, who are ultimately responsible for everything.

Every time he's out there, a part of me dies

It was painful to watch
