Voice of Reason

I listened to the whole thing last night. Pope spent a 3-5 minute segment talking about the NBA and played up his NBA history, how NBA guys talk in the locker room about their college years, etc.

Disappointed in that but understandable. He would be better served in Pope's system, but Cal fought hard to get him eligible so loyalty there.

I have seen projections that he could get drafted in round 2. I don't think he is a fit for Pope's system. Best wishes to him.

That's a good get. He was ranked #33 in class of 2022. Been on a Mormon mission the past two years. Flipping from BYU commitment to UK.

My thought looking at teams, common opponents and scores is PT had no chance against Boyle last year. I went to calpreps.com and that site confirms my thought: Boyle Co 41 PT 14 https://www.calpreps.com/cgi-bin/2023/project_matchup2.pl 2024 might be a different story but in 2023 Boyle was on a higher level than everyone else.

Not to mention that Mitch played up Pope's NBA career and connections when he introduced him. And let's be real, every college player dreams of playing in the NBA.

Aaron Bradshaw is transferring to Ohio State.

The next 3-5 days are huge for the 2024-25 Wildcats.

Meanwhile, Scott Drew and his wife had a quiet dinner at a diner in Waco.

Directly involved in the fighting, I would say Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, US and UK, with the 5 Arab countries all being proxies of Iran. From that perspective, Iran just gave Israel the invitation to go after them hard if they are ready for that battle.

I say just stick with apples. No damage done. Warn them if they attempt that again, then the response will be more than 2,000 times the level of their attack. Deescalate now. (You order fruit from Amazon?)

Definitely had every right to respond to the Hamas attack. The response of almost complete destruction of a state and killing 33,000 civilians is what has brought condemnation of Israel's tactics. Someone throws a couple punches at you. Miss completely but stepped on your toe. Your response is to pulverize the guy to concussion and break his arm?

For KHSAA RPI purposes and the 1A-3A schools especially, beating a 5A or 6A school is huge, but losing a game to any level team is a big minus. When the small schools schedule big schools, they need to think their chances of winning are better than 50/50.

They have played 4 times in the last 25 years, all Beechwood losses. https://scoreboard.12dt.com/scoreboard/khsaa/kyfb10/pair_69686670585a396b6a656543 With RPI, doubtful it will happen. Beechwood vs CCH is a long rivalry or it would be driven off the schedule by KHSAA RPI.

Perfect. US has handled this as well as they could so far. Telling Israel to consider shooting down all the drones a victory and trying to stop retaliation, not supporting retaliation - all the right responses. Can Isreal get out of war monger mode and win back worldwide support? This is their moment to turn the tide back in Israel's favor.
