Just for fun....had Painter used the portal..

Nah, you said you’d assume that he would be a cultural fit. Six rpg for a 6’10” kid playing 32 mpg is awful.

You’re right though, I shouldn’t have said he can’t rebound, just that he doesn’t. That’s the problem with him, way more promise than production.
No I said

"Obviously I have no idea if he's have been a cultural fit. But assuming he would have"

Probably a good thing I said I didn't know if he would be or not then huh?

And 6 rebounds a game doesn't equal "can't rebound."

Cool? 32% is still horrid from what I'm told.
Yep he was bad as a freshman once he hit the second half of the year. Rumor was he was injured but still played through it. What was Loyer like this last year and this year already? I see no improvement from Carlyle on his 3 pt shot. He has missed bad a lot this year. But it’s ok, he’s your guy, so he for sure will come around, right?

Ohio State

I put Alabama 13 in my ranking. Just couldn't see anyone else ahead of them. I can't imagine they get in with 3 losses without a SEC CG appearance, but if there's more chaos, who knows? Right now I have 2 ACC teams in - and the committee will too - but will that stick? Will Indinia stay in? I have them 10th, which ends up 11th-seeded. Playing Penn State, which could be fun. Here's what I came up with, down to 24:
1. Oregon
2. Ohio St
3. Texas
4. Penn St
5. ND
6. Miami
7. Georgia
8. Tennessee
9. SMU
10. IU
11. Boise St
12. Clemson
13. Alabama
14. South Carolina
15. Ole Miss
16. Arizona St (IN)
17. Texas A&M
18. Tulane
19. BYU
20. Iowa St
21. Missouri
22. Colorado
23. Illinois
24. UNLV

Seeds/Matchups:
12 Arizona St at 5 Ohio St winner vs 4 Boise St
11 Indinia at 6 Penn St winner vs 3 Miami
10 SMU at 7 Notre Dame winner vs 2 Texas
9 Tennessee at 8 Georgia winner vs 1 Oregon


And as I type that, what a rough road for #1 Oregon.
If I'm the committee, Baba is toast 100%. Cool you have wins over Georgia, South Carolina and Mizzou but you also have losses to Vandy and Oklahoma in embarrassing fashion. Could Bama beat everyone in the field? Absolutely. Would they be favored? Probably over everyone not named Oregon and Ohio State. But... They lost and to 2 bad teams. They dug their own grave. A close miracle loss to Oklahoma wouldn't have hurt them so much but that butt kicking they took really did them in. Ole Miss has a better shot I think.

Painter didn't have room for Carlyle even if he wanted him. And Painter isn't just going to kick dudes out to add anyone. But according to you, Loyer was horrible from 3 as a freshman.
Loyer made 59 threes his freshman year compared to 32 for Carlyle. That .6 % Loyer has on Carlyle is equal to 27 more made baskets. Trying to compare the two is kind of funny when math is actually applied. Do better next time.

NFL thread

Guys I don’t know if I can do this any more. Watching this type of coaching 2x every weekend is not good for a man.

It’s one thing for Purdue to suck, they truly don’t have great talent. But they just get bitchslapped constantly because of coaching. But then I have to watch the Chicago Bears, with a pretty damn good roster, be the team that everyone else just shakes their head at. They will find a way to lose. They might even give you hope, but you better bet your ass they will lose.

The Vikings today converted on I believe 4 consecutive 3rd and 11+ plays. O’Connell is a smart coach, and knew he could get uncovered receivers vs that coward Eberflus. Just put Aaron Jones out as a receiver (stop me if you’ve heard that one before) and they won’t cover him. Easy. Just have Addison move slightly before the snap outside of Jefferson and no one will cover him.

I am so damn sick of this trash.

lol please tell me you don’t really think IU has had anywhere near a hard schedule???

I trust paint to know who’s good and who’s not good for his system/team. And clearly Carlyle was not. Loyer is also a better shooter than Carlyle will ever be.

Ohio State

Georgia will make it unless they lose to Tech AND the SEC CG. Expect them to be #7 Tuesday.
I have them #6. It'll be interesting to see how the committee drops Alabama and Ole Miss. They dropped Georgia pretty far after their 10-28 loss to Ole Miss and cited the offense for the drop. Bama only puts up 3 sooo... I think Miami and SMU will both be Top 10. I personally have...

1. Oregon
2. Ohio State
3. Texas
4. Penn State
5. Notre Dame
6. Georgia
7. Miami
8. SMU
9. Boise State
10. Tennessee
11. Indiana
12. Clemson

I think they'll have Tennessee higher though and probably at 7 or 8.

Ohio State

Here's gonna be the interesting scenario as it applies to Indinia. SMU and Miami both win out, play each other in the ACC CG. Both ahead of Indinia. One of them loses. Does that team drop below Indinia in the final rankings? That's the key. The committee keeps telling us that getting to, then losing your conference championship game shouldn't hurt you. I think they're going to get dropped significantly Tuesday, but then they can beat Purdue and sit back and let other teams lose. Gonna be interesting.
Indiana has their buts saved by Ole Miss losing and Alabama getting more embarrassed than Indiana against a 5-5 Oklahoma team. BYU and Colorado losing were super helpful as well. None of them lose and Indiana would have 100% been on the outside looking in.

And yes, as an IU fan it was disappointing but not a surprise with the performance. I'm happy to be 10-1. Hopefully this helps them moving forward on what it takes to win at the top. It was also comforting to see Alabama only score 3 on Oklahoma.

Thought we'd at least be hearing rumors by now

That CRW would be getting fired by reputable sources.

I guess it doesn't matter if CRW coaches the bucket game or not although I'm not sure why the love affair with Card. Unless Card has an outer body experience, I dont see him leading us to enough points to stay up with Indiana.
If they don't fire him this weekend, then it's probably not happening. Unless they are going to wait and once again have to rush a replacement like last time.
