My first car was a 68 firebird and I loved this button. I'm 42 by the way...

Had two different '67s, an overhead cam 6 and a 400. I kick myself often about letting them go. I dream of having either a '67 or '68.

Jahmai Mashack being drafted is one of the more shocking things I've ever seen in sports.

Not that I ever thought he was bad....but I have seen so many incredible college basketball players not drafted....but hey, he is an ELITE perimeter defender and that wins games!

Can confirm that it’s NOT always 10 degrees cooler here. Visit fam in lake Charles and there is no difference. Hot and humid is hot and humid.

In Louisiana humidity is part of your wardrobe. 3-4 showers a day is standard there.

My dad has it currently so I hope to get it back one day. You just don't see them much anymore.

Tennessee is one of seven schools with multiple draftees this year. The others are Duke, Florida, Georgetown, Illinois, Kentucky and Rutgers.

This is the fifth consecutive year a Tennessee player has been selected in the NBA Draft. The Volunteers are one of just five teams with at least a five-year streak, alongside Baylor, Connecticut, Duke and Kentucky.

Igor Milicic Jr. Is playing for the 76ers erd Summer League team with a shot at making G-League team.

Yes, I remember land surveying in Knoxville in August with temps over 100. But, typically it is often 10 degrees less warm in TN than S. LA. TN has 4 good seasons. But down here, it is just hot almost half the year.

Tennessee used to have 4 good seasons. Our winters are now mild and kinda bleh, and spring and fall are short. Climate change has made Tennessee a hotter state without the distinct seasons it used to have.

Mashack when he heard his name called on draft night

All jokes aside, happy for him, lanier and zz

The Grizz have consistently picked up Vols for the last several years. Kennedy Chandler, Yves Pons, and now Shack off the top of my head.

Thanks for the info. Adding teams from non-power conferences does not make you a power conference. Pac 12 will still be a lower conference. Its a revamped Mtn West.

The PAC12 has more benefits and resources that can elevate each of these programs. It won't be immediate, but the ceilings are higher as PAC12 schools than where they were.

 

[Weezer]

I assume it’s sarcasm. We are 16th.

Both are true. 16th on On3, 55th on 247. No matter how you look at it, currently, our class is lackluster. Still lots of work to be done. We need to start getting commits, and hopefully, we finish with a top 10 class.

NBA Draft 2025: Why Jahmai Mashack Deserves To Be Drafted

Jahmai Mashack may not be at the top of NBA draft boards, but he has all the makings of a strong player at the next level.

That's a great article. One scout calling Mashack "the smartest player I've ever interviewed."

It's like they want natives to be a fan of the team or something

Happy Friday

June 27, 2025: Let go of those things that did not work out as you imagined they would. Embrace the reality of things as they are without regret. There were lessons to learn that will be of great benefit as you forge ahead. The fog will lift and you will see things from a divine perspective instead of allowing your emotions to rule. Psalm 23:1-3 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Did I miss something? I thought the Pac 12 was still 2 teams.

Meh, just a new name for "Mountain West".

Most likely going to have a pick in 6 straight years. Of the 5 teams who have had 5 straight, Duke and UK didn’t make the NCAAT every year. I think Baylor has lost in the second round for 4 straight years.
