With how competitive he is, missing time for one injury and then suffering another completely unrelated injury that ends your college career right as he was about to make his return for the most important part of the season has to be devastating. Can’t imagine what he’s feeling right now.

Hahahaha that’s incredible.

This will never not crack me up.

Don’t love seeing Trimble on the injury list with a lower leg issue, even if he’s questionable.

Difference between ratings and rankings. Miami OH is currently 86th in KenPom lol, but getting to 29-0 regardless of conference is impressive. I don’t really have a problem with sneaking them into the back of the AP poll. Personally I think they should 100% get an at large berth over some...

Yeah it can certainly be useful when used that way. To be blunt, it’s a pride thing for me. I have to use AI a lot for other things at work already and using it to help with my writing just feels like a bridge too far. I’d rather force myself to think through what I’m actually trying to convey.

I tried using Gemini to try to plan a trip recently. It led to a few useful high-level suggestions but I beyond that I found it too tedious for making a fully fleshed out itinerary. Lot of people I work with use it for drafting emails. I draw the line there lol. Think it’s sad that people are...

I think the Bowles lot just isn’t big enough with the B School right next to it. The other proposed site is Odum Village, but the counter to that option that I keep seeing is that it’s just too close to the hospital and would hamper future development for those facilities.

it’s frustrating that the only real options seem to be renovate the Smith Center or new arena at Carolina North. One of the biggest considerations (in my opinion at least) should be better seating for students. All of the outspoken proponents for a renovation—including the former trustee in this...

Oh yeah, I go out in Charlotte maybe once every year or two when I’m back in the area and I’ve definitely noticed a shift in where the “happening” areas are. As someone living in a city where nightlife is such an ingrained part of the culture this is always a fascinating topic to me lol. I’ve...

Dook vs. State rooting interest changes depending on the year for me. When State is completely hapless and we are able to throttle them easily (which is the case most season) then I am rooting for them to randomly upset Dook. This season I hope Dook runs the score up on them as much as possible...

I live in Austin and when I first saw the headline this morning I assumed it happened on the other side of town at “diry 6th”, which is like Austin’s shitty version of Bournon street. It’s adjacent to a bunch of live music venues and used to be a fun place to bar hop, but it’s gotten...

College GMs don’t operate like pro GMs. Jim Tanner helps with back channeling and negotiating with potential recruits and transfers, but the coaching staff is still identifying and closing those players, and is ultimately responsible for the personnel.

It’s so unnecessary and obnoxious, but not very surprising considering the poster.

Agree about the arena options. The Dean Dome could certainly use a facelift with wider concourses, better amenities, new restrooms, more efficient ingress/egress, etc. but to me the bigger issues with it are the cavernous dimensions and lack of student seating near the court because of the PSLs...
