there appears to be some spoilers out there if you look that gives a pretty detailed breakdown.

Where can you find em? I've been trying to google spoilers and cant' find anything. Just a few rumors here and there.

Sting vs The Ultimate Warrior in the early nineties would've been huge $$$$.

"Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer, Big Van Vader was kinda scary when I was a kid.

Thanks! Loved the video! Yeah I think it's obvious Coach Cal at least thinks he's gonna be eligible so I'll take that.

When might there be a decision on Skal's eligibility issues? Is there a time frame on that?

Do you understand how the crystal ball works?

Apparently, some folks can look into it and see the future.

Bo never did the rent a player at Wisconsin. It's probably time for Bo to retire.

Elgin Cook has sent a tweet welcoming Jamal Murray as the newest commit into the Duck family for what that's worth.

No...

Poor Derek Anderson.

Where exactly are you even trying to go with this? All I said was exactly what people complained about on here when he passed over Lofton for all americans instead? You still havent changed I see, especially when what you are getting at is very irrelavent.

Just trying to fit in with the crowd.

Where was that said anywhere in my post? Nice try. I'm just pointing out some people now are saying you obviously take your chances on all americans over my boys. However back then when Tubby actually did have a great recruiting class people complained since he didn't get Loft on.

 

I really wish UK did get Bolden because I think he will do great. However you couldn't blame Tubby then for going after the all Americans instead over a ky boy and you can't blame Cal for doing the same this year. Which I hope Bolden goes on to do great just like Lofton did.

That's strange. People should've been complaining that Tubby held back his All-Americans.

Why would anyone want their autographs? Maybe I could see why a young kid would be enamored by these guys, but surely not an adult. I mean autographs of Presidents Obama, Clinton, Bush , etc... I can see that but.... Dakari Johnson. Geez.

To each his own I guess. I'd much rather have these players' autographs than any politician, unless Abe Lincoln came back from the grave.

The panic level of a large chunk of UK fans makes me laugh.

 

Word starts that they may miss out on all their top targets and I've seen people talk about how awful they're going to be next season.

 

Even if they don't get any of the undecided AAs, the roster will be something like

 

Ulis

Matthews

Poythress

Lee

Skal

Briscoe

Hawkins

Willis

Thorne (Charlotte kid)

Ingram (Alabama commit)

 

That's still a top 15 team in next season's game. :lol2:

I can't speak for all UK fans, and I'm still excited about next season regardless, but we get just a couple more players and we could be really really good. It's the fact of getting that close. Should still be a fun season.

Funny thing is people ripped Tubby for saying the same thing for taking his top recruits over Lofton.

Are we really comparing Tubby and Cal?

Good point. Maybe we are all just illusions and nothing is real. I think there are some REAL historical evidence on the above mentioned men, though. Paul and Jesus, however, not so much. And the Bible is definitely not a sound historical reference. Far from it, in fact.

I think I saw a picture of Sammy Davis Jr. once, but you'll never convince me that George Washington, Walter Kronkite, and Hitler were real. They said they put a man on the moon a day or two ago too. I'm not buying that for one second!

I don't think we can. If you have eye-witness proof from a really old relative who says they met them let me know. I honestly don't think anyone ever laid an eye on them . The historicity of the super-apostle , vexed by troubles on all sides, is less than compelling. Sure , the Pauline letters and other apostolic letters exist, but the epistles are far from genuine if you know history. As I am sure you good Christians know, the epistles originated in the midst of the bitter doctrinal battles of the the second century and this was at a time when pseudepigraphy and forged apostolic writings were used as weapons in the war of "Christianities."

 

In fact, as I hope you are aware of, pseudepigraphy is the heart of your New Testament. The Pauline corpus is no exception. In fact, it is a compendium of fraud. Scholars have attempted to chronicle the life of Paul yet Acts of the Apostles is a naive fantasy and the Pauline letters themselves provide very few clues as for time and place.

 

Paul is purported to be the first and most influential figure of the Church , a tireless founder of churches and super-evangelist. Yet, whoever wrote in the name of "Paul" combined elements from Judaism, Gnosticism, and the Mystery religions to come up with a winning formula. It makes no sense to me( I'm sure it does to you) why a pioneering apostle and devout churchman named Paul is not linked by evidence to the early Christian churches in the major cities of the Roman world.

 

I know this is not what your Sunday school teachers fed you when you were forming your religious beliefs as a child. I know all I was told was fantastic stories from the Bible that sent my little boy mind racing. I even wished I could have lived back then. I wished I could have met a man called Jesus on the road to Damascus , just as "Paul" did. How lucky I would been to have seen this Godman walk on water, turn water to wine, make the blind see, and be one of the five thousand to be fed from the seven loaves and few fish. And to have been there that morning when they rolled the stone away...WOW! But I was a little boy then. Believing what I was told, with child-like faith. Now I'm an adult....a rational thinking adult that requires more than just child-like faith acceptance of magical and supernatural phenomenon.

 

In conclusion, I think history and evidence points clearly in the direction that Christianity was NOT propagated by the bold evangelism of a handful of fearless apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, and energized by their personal experiences of a resurrected godman. In fact, contrary to this, no evidence links Paul to the major Christian churches and ,quite frankly, the story in Acts is a pious invention. While Acts records his presence at major places like Athens and Ephesus and even small towns like Derbe and Mitylene, the epistles confirm very little of his grand tour. While I would find it intrinsically plausible that a wandering sage or Aristotlean philosopher might embark on some sort of missionary journey at that time, the Pauline journeys, marked by incongruities, contradiction, and the outright absurd are not at all compelling. I don't think they would be for you either if you didn't WANT so badly to believe, just as I did when child-like faith is all that was required.

 

 

BTW, this was post number 666 for me ! Let the jokes begin.

Now that you mention it, how can we be so sure that George Washington, Hitler, Sammy Davis Jr, or Walter Kronkite were real? I never saw any of em in person.

If there's not a lot of fouls called, I like MSU's chances. With that being said:

Duke 76

MSU 12

Donovan Mitchell...

How about Deng Adel? How good is he?

Well....that escalated quickly.

Jay Wright is an idiot.

 

Today he said that Kentucky turns the ball over a lot. They turn it over 11 times a game. That's better than over 250 teams in Division 1, including West Virginia.

 

He then said that Arkansas played Kentucky really tough twice this season, and that West Virginia is better than Arkansas. Only a complete idiot would think Arkansas played them even remotely tough either time.

That actually explains a lot about poor Jay Wright.

I picked UNC but if Meeks is out I don't see that happening.

Your Google machine broken???

Ha good point. Laziness got the better of me. 32%

I know West Virginia statistically is bad offensively, but how well do they shoot the 3? Anybody?

The question I'm wondering about is whether or not Tom Crean is keeping his job.
