    North Carolina colleges > Arizona colleges

    Oh, I thought this thread meant their schools were better in bball. Palpibly. It shows how important infrastructure is. Compare them to Georgia--same population, same ethnic mix, same SES (roughly), and there's no comparison in the success. It shows how hard a job Sendek has.

    PFT Report: Titans looking to unload Pac-Man

    azdad1978, you make the first point I've ever seen that would lead me to go up to Bidwill and shake his hand. Imagine the contrary--Bidwill after an injection of blood from, say, Al Davis. I thank my lucky star--well, lucky airplane light.

    Los Angeles Times totally trashes Tim Thomas...

    I'm disappointed that people would want someone like Simers writing in the Valley, or anywhere. I don't remember reading other articles by him, but in this one he throws stereotypes (the Suns and defense) and acts like a pain to try to provoke a reaction from TT. 'Pain' meaning getting on his...

    Dwayne Wade, Crying... Riley Pissed

    Yeah, when Miami faces the Mavs, Wade always chokes, leading his team to utter defeat. Or is my memory tricking me again?

    The Combine IS A WASTE OF TIME

    Now there's blasphemy in my book. Surely there are studies about how many players bomb correlated with low W scores. [Is it true Dubya's wonderlic score was 4?]

    In Our Lap

    Is there a tape of Big highlights around (not including false starts, please) that we can ship to Detroit? Pancake blocks?

    Realistic Cardinal Offseason Plan (Long Post)

    K9, I can't see why you say this. Yes, premium FAs can lead to disappointment, just like premium draft picks (surely a list is not needed). I felt much more certain and excited we had gotten a good one with James than with Leinert, who could've been another Eli Manning or even Leaf--and still...

    Bob Knight calls out Texas on Durant and the new rule

    I sympathize with Knight, but I think he's carping about one wrinkle of the problem. Whether the rules allow NBA jumps by HS students, college sophomores, juniors, or seniors, the college player population has 3, maybe 4 types of kids in it: the sure NBA/rich league stars and steady players...

    Is that a reference to 'Red Dragon'? [The book--haven't seen the movie.]

    What this team needs....

    Yeah, Allen would be nice. I'd even take Kobe, if Nash would knock him into line. My guess is the chances of trading for either are about equal. What we really need, echoing an earlier comment, is half a coach's brain. If D'Antoni could plan as well for when Nash is absent as he does for...

    Want tick off some Mavs Fans?

    I liked the Russell Celtics, hated the McHale/Bird Celtics (McHale first because he deserved hate more), and have mostly disliked them ever since. But I have to affirm that they could be an amazing team--their skills, plus half-court team play.... But you had to hate them, because they were...

    Realistic Cardinal Offseason Plan (Long Post)

    I'm satisfied but not energized by a lot of K9's plan; the main part I disagree with is the CB 'realism'. Whether or not the coaches are happy to head into training camp with Green and Rolle as starters, I don't think we should be. The mistakes Green and Rolle made last season were, sure...

    2007 Cardinals: Players Who Might Surprise

    My impression was that Elton Brown was such a poor performer that he had been all but cut--I haven't been counting him as a potential contributor, simply due to reputation. Is there really realistic hope about him? I hope Mitch is right about many if not most of these players. There's no...

    2 Gonzaga players suspended after arrest

    I certainly agree that this nation is totally screwed up in the ways it treats MJ, other drugs, vs. liquor, tobacco, 'medicines', other chemicals, and pollution. Penalties ought to be parallel to amount of social harm, including predictable medical bills that society (humanely and rightly)...

    Cards To Be Aggressive In FA

    The bottom line is, the mushheaded, mushmouthed Graves proves (again) that he's a dirty liar, on top of his other sterling features. And that, for whatever reason, Whiz is available to serve as the new stooge mouthpiece. I never thought I'd say it, but what that crew needs/deserves is a steady...

    2007 Cardinals: No More Acts of Desperation

    I think not retaining or getting value for Davis, if that's how it turns out (most likely), is the first big (unintended pun) mistake of the new regime (or 'somewhat amended regime', admitting that it includes the Bidwills and Graves). By most accounts, he's the top FA OT this year, the most...

    Poem for Rod Graves and the Trade Downers

    This is a very good point. It's harder to make a REALLY bad mistake when there are 5 to 7 clearly Elite players and you have the fifth pick. I would aim to keep the pick, surely keeping it for Thomas, Anderson, Branch...maybe Peterson. Not for the QBs, probably not for Johnson--surely we...

    Poem for Rod Graves and the Trade Downers

    My dad gave me an '02 draft pick 'Cause I'm his smartest son, And I swapped it for three other picks 'Cause Bryant was a smelly one! And then I took the draft picks And I pleased my old Dad For lower down I got A. Haynes Then Portis and Williams, Chad! My dad gave me an '03 draft pick 'Cause...

    To all those too lazy to use caps or punctuation

    I certainly support this requirement. If it leads even one qiasi-literate poster to improve his/her writing mechanics, that result is worth reading a good number of complaints.

    be honest, did you think this was possible?

    Injuries, and gas in Nash's tank, and maybe our ability to bear down adequately against top opponents, are the only questions, I'd say. But sadly, they really are questions.

    Bored and thinking about the draft picks....

    Thanks for the link, Diawsome--I never would've guessed the Suns did so well with the draft. (And interesting run-down, HooverDam.) Admittedly, they've nearly always been good, rarely great--so they haven't had great position, which makes choices more ambiguous. Also, it's hard to give them...

    2007 Cardinals: Free Agent Menu (Offense) and Predictions

    Thanks, again, Mitch--I commented on the defensive thread first. Jeez, if we got Steinbach and Thomas...! I've come to fear that we will take Peterson--a good runner, I agree, though I'm worried about injury-potential. But I hope Whiz realizes that a top-flight OL plus a solid RB (and I rate...

    2007 Cardinals: Free Agent Menu (Defense) and Predictions

    Thanks, Mitch, good insights as usual, though I sometimes disagree with your overall strategy. I'd be happy if you're right about getting Harper, and if your note about safeties is the way things turn out. I'd use the high pick on DE Anderson if Thomas is gone, preferably trading down, but he...

    The Fitz rumor takes a new low

    C'mon, where's our negotiating chutzpah--we should demand a second-rounder.
