I can be positive, too.

Tldr: stop doom and glooming my Bucks because they need a year, ok?? National media?!
Maybe the Brewers didn't win the whole thing, but if they're responsible for managers as characters again, then we'll celebrate the real winner in the hearts and minds accordingly
It's worse than who hires, it's who wants that job. No one wants to move their families for a lame duck coach who could get fired any minute. You'll get another Grimes. Another 2nd choice. And transfers aren't putting their last chance season on your hail Mary.
I'm interested in the Clippers because theres just so much happening around them, but I'll probably lose interest quickly. They were my courtesy 3rd, i didn't want to pick the obvious. I can't wait to watch the Spurs too
That was the dumbest penalty of all time I don't need to stay up for this
(it hurt to say the Pistons, but that's the right answer for me, too; don't tell anyone)
At least Trump's one king, two cups AI vid acknowledges the protests were real and large. Little things
I have an old friend who wants to talk about the Bulls every week. I've seen that Kings team in another jersey so many times. They're going to be so bad
A TON of teams the first week(s), but with staying power?

I'm going to watch more Blazers basketball than I should. They'll probably keep themselves in most games for a while. I'll probably watch a lot of Clippers until their wheels fall off. And I'm ready for the Ant leap season, it'll be Wolves.
What three teams (other than your own) are you most looking forward to watching? Not necessarily as contenders, but maybe they added someone new or have a young player who's breaking out

3. Detroit
2. Orlando
1. Spurs

I was in a bar in early Nov '13 watching #6 Stanford beat undefeated #2 Oregon opening the space for Noles to move into top 2, eventually finding their way to the last BCS championship. It was very fun. FSU is at Stanford tonight, in the middle of the night, and no one cares. Far falls, each
Semi-related, the animated Robin Hood kinda rules
The one thing that's been clear the last week, I've seen plenty of people express their player preference, but I haven't seen anyone make a case for the last spot being "won". Because no one did. None of the 4 grabbed it outright
They were 2 too many. Seems like a nice human!
One guy no one wants to watch play basketball ever again and the other one doesn't play basketball so why are either making the team
Start over. Keep the space open for someone else's waiver. Don't waste another day.
You know. The Bucks have so much space below the tax, they could waive Andre Jackson Jr. AND Tyler Smith and I would just do that, tbh
Florida State beat Alabama. SEC feels like a one bid league to me 🫣😏
Tennessee baby no, no no no
They've never had a single grassroots movement. '16 was the closest they had but it was the cult of one personality built on years of pent up racism/sexism. They spent decades pumping money into their propaganda networks. They can't fathom we hate them organically
This is a level of masochism I'm, frankly, uncomfortable with.
If I wanted (e.g., Matt Campbell) to know the program was committed to spending more money I would say "hey we're spending more $ next season", while I wait for the current guys buyout (and the AD) to shrink by 5 more weeks, tbh
Some reporting today that Fickell might be back in 2026. That the boosters are looking at throwing $30 million at the program for a better roster and higher paid assistant coaches rather than using that month towards LF's buyout.
You don't know how easy you all have it.
There's 5 more losses, no recruits to celebrate/stand on, and no new coaches or transfers are taking the money for a lame duck save your job season. It's over.
Everyone is thinking too hard about the Fickell buyout; it's $25 after the season in installments with an offset. It sucks but it doesn't meet prohibitive. You float things this time of the season and see the reaction. He's been fired for 3 weeks.
