    The bullish case. Toure ups his game (especially on offense) and solidifies himself as the PG. Johnson is a high-level backup PG and a total bulldog on defense. With those two together, you don't miss Lipsey too much. Batemon turns into one of the better two-way SGs in the Big 12. Maybe...

    Florida completely screwed that game up. Let Iowa build up two big leads in each half though wore them back down. Essentially had it won at the end (91.0%, I'm surprised Iowa even at a 9.0% chance at that point). Screwed up the defense leading to Folgueiras having the open three. Screwed up...

    @CyFanInChiLand, Torvik has them down here. Seems more reasonable. Iowa St. still at #18 after a few small updates. Kentucky at #23.

    Deandre Kane arrested

    I would imagine he transfers "up" sooner under the current system. Showcases his talents earlier. And either his second school pays up or he cashes in at a third or fourth.

    Deandre Kane arrested

    A guy that good would make $10+ million in college alone at this point.

    It does create a bit of a jarring effect, though, if watched chronologically. In Rogue One, he's this laser sword ninja with fluid movements kicking all the ass. In A New Hope, he's a guy in a heavy suit finding it awkward to move around moments later.

    With the brackets out -- https://www.playersera.com/mens And a more rational format of two eight-team brackets with everybody guaranteed at least three games and a bonus "Million Dollar Game" between the two bracket winners. I spent a little time last night fiddling with Excel for the first...

    Not "a particularly memorable character" was probably too strong of phrasing on my part. He's a good one, if only because he's this weird space samurai, has a history with Obi-Wan, and is present at the climax. But the Death Star/the Battle of Yavin is fundamentally Tarkin's show, not Vader's...

    I don't think he trashes it or says it "sucks." He says it was "mediocre" until the Third Act and then it kicks ass, which isn't an unfair description. I'm aware of what A New Hope must have seemed like to audiences used to campy 50s, 60s, and 70s sci-fi, but that context doesn't matter much...

    I found this amusing. My unsentimental, non-Star-Wars-guy view of the first movie is that it’s a mediocre B-movie for about 80 minutes that suddenly gets awesome when they start having dogfights in space. The first two acts are only made tolerable by an amazing John Williams score, a few great...

    Given how The Last Jedi is being dragged on here (even now nine years later) I'm glad I've never seen it. The Force Awakens was all I needed to see this ship was beelining for the iceberg.

    Xzavion Mitchell is officially returning

    Did Mitchell get a medical RS or does that not even matter anymore with the five-for-five rule coming?

    Nate Heise FULL Interview with Cyclone Fanatic (May 25, 2026)

    Heise would be a fine choice for that commentary role Thug Life had for a year and Pop has for the women now.

    Pop Songs about Iowa/Iowa Towns

    This song is about the Mississippi flowing past Rock Island, Illinois. Close enough to the Bettendorf and Davenport side for me.
