Who’s on first.

I don't know.

OK! What else Do we need to do?

How about...Win those games?

I don't know.

Third base!

That sounds like a decent enough schedule.

Scheduling Iowa is bringing down our strength of schedule.

Rothstein also has Heise as a key loss, yet in his starting 5 for ISU. He's a tool bag.

If you'll indulge me on the language sidetrack. Etc. is probably the correct choice in your sentence. Et alii in Latin roughly means "and others" and is typically used to shorten a list of people. Also, there is no period after et in et al. since only the second Latin word is being abbreviated.

Good point, "etc." is more appropriate for what I wrote.

I think I've been mis-punctuating et al for ... a while. Good reminder.

But if I write it 'et al.' from now on people will begin to think I know things.

Nonetheless, a good grammar lesson.

He looks pretty well put together. Not a typical freshman “twig” big man that looks like they’ve never seen a weight room. Really glad he made it for the majority of summer workouts! Holding out hope that he can be a contributor this year!!

So, he missed 10 or more days for sure. When did summer workouts begin? And end?

It will be good that he at least made some of the summer program. That's got to help.

That would be a great plan.

Started on June 16th. Not sure when they end, but guessing end of July or early August. Pleta will be involved in the majority of the summer program which is huge!

This is Batemon, correct? He is wearing #2, but roster has him as #1. Mason Williams is assigned #2. Did Batemon get it since Williams is out this season?

I have to assume part of this drill was making bad passes that could be stolen...?

I saw that too. Kind of reduces the impact of his post. Didn't notice if that happened on any of the other teams, but after reading that I didn't waste my time on the rest of them.

Is that Dominick Nelson ?

Rothstein is great - love that guy!

He’s college basketball’s ultimate insider — with catchphrases. But is Jon Rothstein in on the bit?

The creator of “This is March” and “We sleep in May” is a bottomless vessel of news and minutiae. But who is Rothstein, really?
