I agree on the defense front...

...but not on the personal issues. His personal issues are like “carrying 4 cell phones”, “going to fraternity parties”, and “moving his family across the country for one year of college”. Immaturity, sure. But no, he’s not a personal issue.

And I’d argue that Rose is greatly benefiting (and alas, Beasley hurting) from having a good coach with NBA ties. Frank Martin has been a coach of what, high school teams? Calipari has been an NBA coach, and I’m sure knows how to dine his peers. Beasley signed on to be apart of the Kansas State team coached by HIGGINS, and was swayed into staying after he left. That, IMO, is the big difference in disparity between the two players – coaching and coaching networking. If Beasley was at a bigger D1 school, he’d be #1.

defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the

aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in

Someone needs to make a new thread for the Cardinals game

I can’t be the play by play guy since I can only go by the computer’s results

I think the best part about winning

is the lack of troll-age on the thread. Not that winning itself isn’t great, but thats my favorite bonus.

god no kidding...

honestly why do you think i held off stoppin by until the overflow when we were up by a few runs?? i knew all the true fans would be here and the losers would be gone

I didn't even come by the threads yesterday

when i got home, because i peaked at the score and knew I’d end up losing my mind at the “world is over” reactions.
