Hey now don’t sleep on middle Tenn state…

Am I high or is the basketball in this Utah vs Washington game on FS1 the most orange ball ever? It’s practically glowing.

I know budget cuts are rough for those former PAC schools, but did they resort to the old rubber playground balls from Walmart? After a week on the driveway they wear themselves perfectly smooth.
 
He actually is pretty good. A bit of a homer, but not obnoxiously over the top. Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets opportunities to go to a network gig.

I guess he must have made the most of spending 9 years at a school with a good journalism school?

He did some ESPN+ games last year I believe. He does a great job and deserves to move up.
 
Not a huge Izzo fan, but appreciate him putting the heat on Scott Drew (amongst other coaches):

Drew's ******** defense was "well, if they allow it, we'll do it". Scumbag.

Drew is a dirtball. He's been operating within blurred lines as long as he's been the head coach at Baylor.
 
I really can’t blame Drew. I would hope otz would do the same. It’s up to the NCAA to fix its own mess.

F*ck that, there are a ton of options out there, pulling a kid out of the pro's doesn't need to be one. I would lose respect for TJ if he went that route. You know it's bad when some of the greasiest coaches in the country are against this.
 
He said he was against it it but also acknowledged he didn’t even know it’s an option. Agree with him that it sounds outlandish, but coaches are going to put themselves at a competitive disadvantage if they don’t take every option available to them.

To that point, the NCAA does need to do something. You can’t just hope these coaches don’t exploit loopholes like this to protect the integrity of the sport. It’s not an honor system - that just won’t work.
 
What an absolute joke.

Watch, this will be like slow-pitch softball where you beat a team 3 or 4 times in the season then when you get them in the playoffs they have 3 new players that all happen to be good.
