I'm in love with our women's ski and snowboard team.

When you can't play D, you have to believe in myths like Luck and lack thereof. Postulating that certain bad results (losses) are impacted by random chance is a very far cry from asserting that ALL bad results/ losses result from bad luck. You know that... The latter would be akin to saying "Scooby...

Didn’t see the game, so that’s really good to read. IMO, we go as far in the tourney as Trier’s defense allows. He is superlative on the other end of the court, but he’s been horrifying on D. I’m not really sure why someone who can get to the rim at will can’t keepanyone else from doing exactly the ...

Puerco

You forgot the intimidating defense.

Puerco

Great. Next up, stopping dribble penetration.

Puerco

I’d just like to mention that Ayton blocks 6% of the shots he’s able to. If UW is spacing their offense based on something that doesn’t happen 94% of the time, well, that’d be... um... not smart.

Puerco

Of course they do.

Puerco

I keed, I keed!

Puerco

When did RichRod start coaching the hoops team?

Puerco

Bad luck is hard to beat with no defense

Puerco

On ball defense is the only thing I’ve got. We cannot stop the dribble.

Puerco

I don’t have anything against the zone, but R&F is a really bad salesman for it. He wants to bench Dusan when there’s a whole mass of statistics out there showing how dominant our offense is when he and Ayton play together. He thinks Ayton is a shot blocking machine when he never has been. He insist...

Puerco

Oh hey look. ODogg took a short break from his Twitter rants to come tell us we’re bad fans. What a surprise.

Puerco

Now we’re in an area about which I feel strongly. Punitive damages being awarded to individuals or more often their attorneys because something bad was done by a large corporation. Plain and simple, victims of crime or negligence should not profit based on the wealth of the individual or organizatio...

KU 1-2 vs. Pac 12. Why does everyone think the Big 12 is so wonderful? Please define 'everyone'. Because I don't think it means what you seem to think it means. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/22099138/college-basketball-power-rankings-big-12-depth-downright-scary There's no ...

Pretty good revisionist history... Stoops recruited some good talent, but he didn't exactly WIN with that talent, now did he?

Puerco

Ugh, this is a pathetic display of ad hominem debate. Drag yourselves out of the gutter, please. I get depressed for humanity when I read crap like this. Most of you have proven you can do better than this. Jimson has made a legit point that $7.5 million followed by $8.5 million is a ridiculous amou...

About to slide into semi-retirement. Keep working, guys. Those payroll taxes are very meaningful to me! What is semi-retirement? Half the work, all the pay? So much for that. Joined a political campaign (Congress) as communications director. Never been busier. Watched last three games on DVR. Gotta...

This opinion is not supported by a single shred of data, but hey, data sucks, amirite?

Puerco

That doesn’t explain the lack of anything resembling a play called off an inbounds.

Puerco

Sure there is. They’re a small team whose back court is shooting lights out from three. Their defense is atrocious. Hey do not assist at a high rate. Shut down Holder’s dribble penetration and make sure you stick to Evans and Justice on the perimeter, and ASU is not going to outscore you. Simple re...

Puerco

There is only one fear I have. Say what you will about Rich Rod but he did smoke/mirror limited talent into wins. This past year's team would have only won 3-4 games tops if Dawkins isn't injured at Colorado. I'm not entirely sold that this team has talent returning. I thought our WR's were extreme...

Puerco

Oh shit. My prayers are with your family, Gato. RIP.

Puerco

Well, to be fair we could ask for the basis for your opinion about Byrne, right?

Puerco

In the Oregon game it was Trier’s lack of D that killed us, not Dusan’s. This is really concerning, because he has all the tools, and yet statistically Trier is the worst defender amongst the starters. By far. Dusan is a known commodity, and the team is versatile enough to compensate if there’s a ba...

Puerco

34-37

Puerco

Yeah, lol. Even the announcers were going “wtf...?”

Puerco

No way this team makes the Final Four unless they learn how to play D.

Puerco

Sealed he game for us. Clutch alley oop. Clutch three. Made all 11 FT's, and took players on off the dribble. Can't ask for much more. If only he were a good enough passer to take over PG duties... How ‘bout we ask him to actually play defense? As good as he was on offense, he was our worst player ...

Puerco

Oregon’s big guys are active and experienced as always. Dusan was outclassed in one way and Lee in another. Pinder was the only one of the three who could hold his own on D. Plus the refs were crap.

Trier's man, but he helped too early. He shouldn't be helping. It never ends well. Oregon has scored just about all their points since the last TV timeout off Trier.

Puerco

This team is underwhelming. Trier is playing like Harden on a bad shooting night.

Puerco

So, out of curiosity, has Trier just decided to not play D at all tonight?

Puerco

Uh. Yeah. That article doesn’t make it seem like Pastner’s in the wrong.

Puerco

Playing zone d is all the leadership any team could ever need!

Puerco

What if Anderson Hunt really did commit a charge when he knocked Kenny Lofton down?

Puerco

Sumin has some name recognition, but what in the name of all that is holy has he actually accomplished?

Puerco

Holy shit, but that PPU tweet is starting to sound a lot like Ajay has been resurrected.

Puerco

I have a lot of passion for the school and team... Could I get an interview?

Wow. Post of the year. Thanks, clip.

I’m massively skeptical of this whole thing only because of the $7.5 million. Despite SD86’s unexplained lol, it absolutely reeks of gold digging and greedy attorneys.

On the bright side, it’s given us a fresh start a year earlier than I expected, so we’ve got that going for us.

Puerco

I like the idea of scrapping your normal defense to get into a full court press (because that always works well) just because you’re afraid your offense can’t crack a zone. Sheesh. Just hand the other coach the game and go to the locker room instead.

Puerco

Les Miles?

Puerco

Awesome stuff YDF. Must spread rep.

Puerco

I don’t see the good competition part. And by ten games into a season, Kenpom usually starts to lood pretty good. ASU is certainly being penalized in the adjusted metrics, but not by much. Look, I’m not saying they’re a bad team, but they are wildly overrated as far as potential goes. Their resume i...

Wait, that CNN tweet is nt accurate. The dude says there is compelling evidence that ‘we might not be alone.’ Well, duh. That only means there’s a lack of evidence DISPROVING the existence of aliens. Was a very curious statement.
