They loaded up in the Portal, six guys ranked in the Top 200 of EvanMiyaâs transfer rankings. And theyâre exactly the kind of FSU-like long physical playground athlete team thatâs worked Bennett teams lately, much like they did last December. They need depth, but think this is still a tough battle for us even without Jones.
Memphis is never gonna be real good it seems. As much as I love Anfernee

They kinda, sorta seem alike but I imagine the only one to equal or exceed is the Dai Dai - Kihei pairing.

Looks like they finally turned on TonyGPT to get some quotes to announce the incoming transfers:
Free idea for anyone bored: compile a couple of quotes from past transfer announcements, anonymize them, and then make a guessing game of âwhich player is this about?â

First time I was driving through the upper midwest on my way into Iowa 20-some years ago and saw one of them I about did a spit take.
That Colbert bit was hilarious, thanks for sharing, needed that.

They recently changed the longstanding uniform regulations to allow digits higher than 5.
The old rules allowed refs to identify players by hand gestures. Foul on #50? The ref holds up five fingers on one hand and makes a fist with the other. And so on.

I have a friend who does some sales work targeted at convenience stores and they tell me that the stores where theyâve changed the name have seen a dramatic fall in traffic

Those typically happen after a Kum and go.

How much of the shift was due to the staffâs awareness of who would be leaving as opposed to previous years when some of the departures might have been a bit unexpected? Before the season ended, I imagine that they knew that Beekman and Dunn would be gone. Also, Groves and Minor would exhaust their eligibility, and their replacements had not been found in the 2024 class. At least, not completely. It wouldnât surprise me to learn that they had told Harris that his role would be minimal. I wouldnât even speculate about the staffâs thoughts about Bond. Regardless, I suspect they knew what would be required from the portal and were able to plan accordingly. In some previous years, I donât know if they had that luxury.
Best name for a convenience store ever.
Oh and it was not a waste discussing âsoakingâ and âjump humpingââthat is the kind of education you canât get just anywhere!
