    When it comes to players, I just root for them. They don’t deserve to hear criticism from “fans”. Let the coach manage the players and just root for the kids. Players know if they are playing well or not and don’t need us to tell them.

    For Mexican, B-Spa has Taqueria Guadalajara and Mi Casa (formerly Leon's) . Both very good.

    Micron - Let’s try this again

    For sure. Great town and right now is the beneficiary of Saratoga prices and crowds. I prefer going out to dinner or grabbing a drink in Ballston Spa over dealing with the prices, parking and crowds in Saratoga.

    Ballston Spa is not more prosperous than Saratoga. Not even close.

    Micron - Let’s try this again

    not sure what this means. Global Foundries is in Malta and so Malta and adjacent areas benefitted the most. That includes Ballston Spa, Saratoga Springs and Clifton Park. Did you expect that e.g. Troy would have benefitted more?

    Complete Mismatch with Clemson

    1. We can't beat a good team with Bell scoring only 7 points. Bell is probably the player talent-wise on the team most likely to make the NBA but he needs to be more consistent, getting open and making shots. 2. We have no true center. Can't really expect Taylor and Brown to guard these...

    NIL Law update

    NIL= Name, Image, Likeness. That is what they are supposedly being paid for. If they are great athletes the pros would pay them. The market has always been there.

    NIL Law update

    NIL is not “the market”. If these players want the market to pay them they can try their hand at the pros.

    And the market values most athletes at much less. Sad they will lose out someday because college sports becomes professional.

    NIL Law update

    So? Employees are not=students. Sports not = work. Athletes getting a full ride get something worth about 70k per year. In the end, the current situation will wreck college sports and could lead to many fewer student athletes with a small percentage compared to today getting the benefit.

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    He hit some last game. Seems like he changed his shot a bit and maybe he is just getting used to it.

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    I agree. The environment gives incentives for players to leave. Can't really fault them for that. They make their own decisions. As for Benny, it's a done deal for me. I said my peace earlier about it. I hope me makes out alright but I have moved on.

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    I'd take JT over Benny. Benny is slow. Everything he does is ponderous. Last game his shot was a rope.

    Pitino is right

    Exactly... at some point I will lose interest. Part of liking college sports is you see guys come in, they develop and your root for them for a few years.

    Pitino is right

    I didn't take what he said as having anything to do with him winning. If you have rules that won't stand up in court, enforcing them is a joke.

    in that spot? Where is that original idea described? To me, that's a small footprint for parking even if underground. You would need several floors just for parking.

    Future Campus Framework Discussion

    I want to see a game where skills and strategy are the most important factors...not the weather. That's not even counting how awful it is for fans when the temp is <40 and there is snow all over. I know some say they love that... but it's not for me.

    The Court Report: Dear college basketball coaches, obey the rules and stay off the damn court during play

    My view is if you have a rule, enforce it. If you don't enforce the rule, get rid of it. I think this is a good rule but if it is not enforced, it is useless. I can't think of other sports where coaches are allowed to continually stand in the area of play.

    The Court Report: Dear college basketball coaches, obey the rules and stay off the damn court during play

    I first really noticed this when I started coaching girls biddy basketball. Kids in 5th-6th grades. The coaches thought they were NCAA coaches and pretty much standing on the court the entire game which was damn distracting for many of the girls. It wasn't that they were on the court to do...

    The Court Report: Dear college basketball coaches, obey the rules and stay off the damn court during play

    Pretty easy thing to do if there is a desire for it. I'd say for when the ball is in play, give a warning first and then start with the Ts. Coaches will adjust.

    The Court Report: Dear college basketball coaches, obey the rules and stay off the damn court during play

    It's a thing now. They all think it is part of being a coach. "Look at me. See how far I am on the court." The court is for players and refs. The sidelines are for the coach.

    “Most NIL deals are b———-.”

    Everyone knew players were not really going to be offered cash simply for their name, image or likeness. The reality is, “You come here to play and we will give you cash.”

    Skipping Bowls?

    Name Image and Likeness is worthless if a player opts out of playing. Let’s not pretend players are really being paid for their Name Image Likeness.

    Skipping Bowls?

    Coaches have contracts and all that is spelled out in their contracts. Of course, no one is forced to sign a contracts and schools won't create contracts they can't get a coach to sign. There are also buyout clauses that are happily paid. Maybe players should have buyout for NILs.

    If they were “meaningless “ no team would accept invites to them. I am not a fan of allowing players to opt out of games they feel are “meaningless” whether in or post season.

    NIL Questions and answers

    NIL won't give us more good players. Finite number. The good ones will just go to the teams with the most money. Less good teams. Less parity. It's not like the NFL where every team has a substantial amount of money.
