Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4481497, member: 289"] PART 2 When Josh in Boulder called he was asked about the Deon Sanders hiring at Colorado. “Coach Sanders has been very aggressive. His son came with him to play quarterback. He has the charisma to bring in players.” JB: “They haven’t been good in years. It hasn’t allowed guys to stay. They’ve had a lot of bodies. If you have players, you can win.” Matt said that in the 80’s and 90’s “there was a huge LA presence on their roster.” JB: (To get good transfers) “It has to be easier to take credits. Schools deny transfers because someone had D’s. But they passed. We do it here. You don’t have Deon Sanders and not help him.” JT Daniels has hit the transfer portal. The former Georgia quarterback started at Southern California, moved to the Bulldogs, where he got beat out by Stetson Bennett, transferred to West Virginia and now wants to go to a fourth school. “This is the problem with the NCAA. Most of the time these players don’t find better situations. If they’d had to sit out a year, they would have stayed. Now, if you are second string at a top school, you know you could start somewhere else. The NCAA is really out of it. Power has bene decentralized. Each short should have its own committee. It doesn’t look great.” “Alabama would be an underdog only to Georgia. They are at worst the 2nd or 3rd best team. That’s why they need an 8-12 team playoff. On Aaron Judge: “The Yankees cost themselves $80 million by not signing him last year for $280 million. He was going to get paid anyway, even if he hit .260. He’s not going to have a year like this again but he needs to be a Yankee. The money thing in sport is crazy. Denver played Russell Wilson $220 million to lose games.” Matt: “Somebody will pay it.” JB: “The owners pay it and then have a lockout because they are paying too much.” How long would it take JB to turn Aaron Judge into a basketball player? (He’s at least 6-7.) “I don’t think the Yankees would allow it. In the Boeheim household, we’re Yankee fans but we wouldn’t be any more if they let him go….The Pinstripe Bowl is a great bowl for SU.” Jim’s attended on hockey game live in his life. He was a junior at SU and Bob Davies, the Rochester Red Wings star, got him tickets. AAU basketball “is good due to the competition Kids need to get better at other aspects of the game. it’s not just working out and shooting.” In Europe, they have “series in the middle of the season”. JB: I don’t see that in the NBA”. We don’t have as many players playing around the world as we once did. “Tyus is hurt. John [Gillen?] is in Taiwan Jimmy is in Greece.” The return of Brittney Greiner “is a long time coming. That’s why you don’t go to Russia. They wanted their guy back. He had been in prison for 10 years so who cares? Make deals and get people back.” In the NBA: “Golden State is not as good. The Jazz is playing very well. The two best teams are in the east: the Celtics and the Bucks. It’s surprising Melo isn’t playing. He works out and is in shape. If a good team needs one more scorer, he could be it.” “The ACC was the best league in the tourney last year, so you have to respect it, (despite bad losses early his season.) He’s against having a four point line. Alan Iverson was “a great warrior. He was small – 160 pounds. He played QB and returned punts for his high school football team. He was one of the great Warriors of the game He was afraid of nobody. Other guys had to “practice”. Everybody thinks they give 100% but it’s really more like 80%. The great ones- Brady, Kobe, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods know what it is to give 100% both in practice and in games.” Someone asked on Twitch if Jim were more of a Scrooge or a Grinch. Jim said that he’s more of a Grinch. (Actually, with all he does for charity and the Community, he’s more of a grumpy Santa Claus.) Coach’s favorite Christmas movie is “That Jimmy Stewart movie. I must have seen it 22 times. I never liked those Christmas vacation movies…No Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. I like it but it’s not a Christmas movie. [/QUOTE]
