Does Shadeur have a smaller chain for tonight or is it just a one size fits all rounds type thing?

Probably a crown of thorns based on Deon's X post.

Interesting theory. The theater I went to didn't have 15-20 minutes of previews so I missed a couple of minutes as I walked in 5 minutes after the advertised showtime so I was wondering if I missed some sort of prologue.

Yeah, they had a brief prologue voice-over that explained that music can at times attract evil spirits, which leads directly into the first scene showing Sammie after the events from the previous night dragging himself back to his dad’s church.

What is up with this Tyler Shough hype? The guy sucks

This is the situation that was avoided when Johnny Orr retired (or forced to depending on the story) when Hoiberg, Michalik and Meyer were all seniors to be and averaged 20 points each as juniors. Johnny saved ISU MBB twice even if you go with the forced out line for the 2nd save.

Also didn’t hurt they were able to hire a quality replacement. Floyd was one of my all time favs. Like Otz he stressed a high energy defense which was fun to watch!

Not sure adult animation would have enough material for it's own.

I have no experience with anime whatsoever.

You summarized my basic view, with about 35 fewer words.

As a parent, who has coached and watches my own son, go on to compete in college. Be wary of the people and programs selling you this idea. If your kid is a D1 level athlete, you will know it when you see it, and everyone else will too. If he is borderline, he will have to work harder, no doubt, but excessive training, is not always the answer.

I am not saying your kid should not compete in high level AAU and train hard, but this is a long road, and the kid has to enjoy what he is doing, or he will never survive when he gets to college. Just my 2 cents, others can feel free to disagree.

Its the only advice my Dad ever gave me with sports or anything else that I wanted. "Desire. Desire will force you to do the right things and if don't do the right things you will learn. If you dont learn you dont have the desire." I know right where we were at, in the pickup with him, when he said it to me.

I think anime shows should be their own bracket, if you ask me. Honestly, three separate brackets: kids shows, adult animation, and anime.

I know little about anime, if it's able to carry a 64-show bracket on its own, maybe it's OK to purge it for this one. That's up to committee.

Adult/youth separate divisions, not sure we need to get that specific, if the brackets would be too watered-down overall.

Totally my singular opinion.

NFL Network's draft theme song will never get old to me - it's right up there with NBA on NBC and NHL on ESPN's theme songs that could get stuck in my head and it wouldn't bother me one bit.

The greatest trick the devil, errr Ricketts, ever pulled was convincing the fan base that Dansby was making superstar money when he's, in fact, on a below market deal....

Texas had some really bad years, it happens. A lot of that development your talking about isn’t stalling out on strength and conditioning but technique. That’s the real difference. Texas had the athletes but didn’t have the development to get them to become NFL ready.

The staff had gotten lazy and was picking up stars that did not improve, while not offering kids that became better players. Whether that is strength and conditioning, coaching or whatever it was a major problem for a P4 school. The hardest thing to measure is desire in a kid, heart for a better phrase. Saban was a master of it, and he would tell the kids on the first day of practice, no one has a starting spot guaranteed, and everyone here is a 4 or 5 star recruit, you want to play, earn it, if not, then leave. How many coaches would bench their starting QB in a national championship game, a kid that had won the championship the year before, few if any, but he did and they won again. Talent only gets you so far at that level, and the most talented players are not always the best players, but when you have one that is both talented and wants to work, baring injuries, that kid will be a star.

He cost one run for the Cubs. Hoerner’s single would have scored 2 runs if the bunt was successful.

Another terrible at bat for Swanson. He should move down to 8th in the batting order.
