An interesting cover.

Historical? Link? Hysterical? Yeah.

I'm not completely sure what I'm trying to ask. I want to understand a little more about the expected consistency of all teams in the future and it helps to understand the past even though we can't recapture it. The times when you could plan overlapping rosters and substantial time in the...

I knew this and everyone should have suspected it as soon as Zen touted it. He's the walking anti-truth serum. Not that this is something new. The photo of the flag raising at Iwo Jima that is so famous is not the original and was staged for effect.

No worse than any other humans. They just kept the first written records.

This is the part that bothers me. It denies the role of humanics in coaching. The team is penalized for playing bench players earlier and longer to develop them or experimenting with lineups when up big or in early season games and sportsmanship. I still think it's right to sometimes call off...

Can you give him something less challenging?

Thanks. I appreciate the effort. It doesn't clear up all my questions about much older teams that are in the comparison but it's not worth that effort. I was primarily curious if it had been done.

If they are dancing in the streets, it's to dodge the embers from burning buildings and hot metal from explosions.

Only true if the selection standards are the same. Don't care if they are worse, better or roughly the same.

Does that mean that these comparisons might not be so valid? The only reason I bring this up is that on another board, a poster pointed out how wildly different the RPI had us this year from these other sources. Has the way they figure things changed? If not, does that mean earlier teams that...

I'm not a Christian but I'm pretty familiar with the Bible. What you are referring to are myths about their history that are unproven and unprovable, and are neither law or prophecy. If Christianity were so dependent on the OT, especially the Protestants who believe it's the literal word of God...

Now, get out of the Jewish book and go to the Gospels. Those are the words and deeds of Jesus Christ, something Christians might well pay more attention to.

Out of curiosity, are the UNC teams the current team is being compared to compared to their seeds at the time, frequently determined with RPI as a big factor, or have they been recalculated by the metrics of today? I don't know if it would affect anything. I'm just curious if we really are...
