Fudging their height as in most players are shorter or taller than they are?

If you look at listed heights in college and then combine measurements every one suddenly loses an inch or two. NBA usually measure with and without shoes too.

I think the best one was PJ Washington from Kentucky. Wildcats listed him at 6'8" his height without shoes was 6'6.5" Naz Reid was listed at LSU as 6'10" went to the combine and measured 6'8.75" without shoes.

A lot of times it's just that in college they list players based on height with shoes. Grant Williams was always listed as being 6'7" and in shoes he was 6'7.5" at the combine. But some have pretty big jumps OR the players are gaining nearly 2" from their shoes. It's crazy.

Like Dubar is listed at 6'6" at UT, Hofstra listed him at 6'8" and I think he's closer to 6'5"

It's almost like basketball is 9 innings long.

Lots of folks looking foolish, once again, today. Same ones as always.

Sometimes I wonder how these people get through daily life being so soft and reactive like snowflakes.

Gbo!! One game at a time.

We had lost 17 straight when losing by 15 plus in a game. So, being down 16 was real reason to be concerned. We have to play every game the rest of the way like it’s the most important. Except maybe the SEC tournament

 

[JacketVol]

So it's not a short bench? I mean I'm not making this stuff up lol

Short bench or not you’ve got to play an SEC game with more energy than what we did the first half.

White Lotus S3 begins tonight.

What a great run of television rn. WL is back, Severance is cranking, and Silo is blowing my mind (still catching up).

You can’t forget the final episodes of Cobra Kai

 

[JacketVol]

The stat that sticks out to me it's that we really evened up the rebounding.. We were getting dominated on the boards inn the first half. Defensively, we picked it up and got a lot more 1 shot possessions.. Made a huge difference. And really, tells you a lot about the toughness this team does have.

So much better effort in the second half.

Which is exactly why the short bench is an excuse for poor effort.

 

[JacketVol]

5-8 games left. Loooooong ways to go.

Iirc Duke has hardly played anyone either.

Georgia Tech beat Duke. We most certainly can.

Finished it up. While it was never as good as those first two seasons, I still enjoyed the rest of it, including the ending. The final scene was perfect.

Apparently basketball games are seven innings. Low scoring, though.

Kevin Hart was the worst part of the NBA All Star game and that is saying a lot.
Knecht led his team in scoring.

The whole show was a little cheesy but I couldn’t stop watching it and really enjoyed it

I agree. That just wasn't there issue being talked about.

I didn't offer it as such.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Byington had no issue finding capable offensive players in no time. Rick in a decade has shown he has no idea ab offense.

Byington’s “capable offensive players” have a losing conference record and are in danger of missing the ncaa tournament. Rick’s supposed incompetent offensive coaching and supposed incapable offensive players are a projected 2 seed. Which would you rather have?

 

[Smokey123]

It feels like whoever you expect to win rarely does… but this may be pearls best chance to ever win one

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Those guys were both drafted in the first round so it wasn’t a crazy limb to wander out on.

First of all there are plenty of QBs drafted in first round every year. Very few have 3 MVPs shared between them. I didn't simply say Allen and Jackson were the best QBs in that draft class. I rated them as generational prospects. And I think most would agree both are easily 2 of the 3 best QBs in the league right now and future Hall of Famers.

With that said, go read through that thread. Lamar and Josh being stars is a given now but in 2018 it wasn't that obvious. A lot of people thought Allen and Lamar were too inaccurate to be NFL QBs. Remember Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold were drafted ahead of Allen and even Josh Rosen went before Lamar who fell all the way to the last pick in the 1st round. It's total revisionist history to act like Allen and Jackson were anything close to sure things. It's not like I said Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck were gonna be studs.

I should also note I haven't rated any QBs since 2018 in the same tier as Dobbs, Allen, and Jackson. I have been pretty consistent is saying the drafts since 2018 have been weak especially at QB. So it's not like I hype up every new crop of young QBs that come into the league. I missed on Dobbs so far but I was absolutely right about Allen and Lamar.

Any other behaviors you mimicked? Public grass fertilization?

Hahaha. No. Also didn’t embrace the water v paper culture. Distinct differences in hygiene, but I believe America is in the global minority in that regard.
