  1. Another year, another challenge! Group Name: BPF 2024 Bracket Challenge URL: BPF 2024 Bracket Challenge Password: HopeD@n3sWinMore This is the year I win! I can feel it (again)! *channels inner Jets fan whose hope springs eternal* In all likelihood, I'll win as much as the MBB Danes did lol.
  2. Oh, I'm in 💯 agreement it shouldn't be in this thread; I have asked for an OT section on this forum for years. The response is just hilarious and honestly adds fuel to Michigan's fire most likely hah; he's clearly not going to listen to someone who he feels is inferior (libs). Just let the MAGA'er post his drivel and don't respond. There are no rules 'round here since DP is non-existent (last visited 12/26/23) and won't give me the keys. If I had the keys, the post would be moved out of this thread to an OT topic in the OT sub-forum.
  3. Why do his veiled MAGA posts ruffle your feathers so much? I'm no MAGA'er (in fact, this might be the first election that I don't vote in) but just let the old man rant and post nonsense lol.
  4. Excuse me sir, do you have space on the fair weather bus heading to nowhere? I'd like a front row seat. 🤣 Like you, I used to schedule my life around games. Heck, I've left church early to get to games on time 3-4 times over the past 15 years (oops). After ~15 years of losing my voice at games starting and leading UA UA UAAAAAA or defense chants from 205, I've basically moved on from watching (I think I only watched like 5 minutes total of MBB all season). FB dragged me back a bit last year but if they have another stinker this year and aren't in the playoffs, they'll likely lose me for many years. I stopped buying season tickets for both (something I was doing while living in FL even though I couldn't go to games) two years ago. I can't in good conscience give any money to the program because all it is doing is just helping pay Benson's, Vic's, Kilings' and Gattuso's salaries. If people want to hold that over my head and say I'm petty or fair weather - so be it; it's the only voice I have left. If more of us diehards stopped paying $400-500 for our season tickets and GDAC stuff, they would be forced to make changes. One guy not paying $500 is whatever. 200 people not paying $500? Now we're talkin $100,000. The more people like diehards keep giving good money for bad products, the more this cycle of mediocrity or straight garbage gets perpetuated. Trust me - the school is desperate for good PR. They lurk on here and read all of this. The more people the revolt, the sooner the change we want to see will come. Unlike in US politics, we CAN make a difference 🤣.
  5. The stretch 4's and 5's of today (NBA or college) will never shoot above 50%. Down low bangers who are very good should be around 55-60%. Shaq only got over 60% like 4 or 5 years and he was dominant inside. The game has changed.
  6. 13-18. 34-59 for his career here. #firekillings
  7. Cool read. I enjoyed my use of the tunnels while a student at UAlbany. It was a life saver on those cold winter days/nights (I was a night student). https://magazine.albany.edu/evergreen/the-tunnels
  8. I was all for players making money, because I thought in a violent game it was sad that someone blows their knee out junior or senior year and misses out on a couple of NFL paychecks...but now? I'm completely against the NIL. It's ruined college sports. I'm back to the 'if they stay in school, they get an education worth hundreds of thousands of dollars' boat.
  9. We can't even compete in the AE and we want to go to the CAA? That ship has been out of port for years. We are a bottom feeder.
  10. Money is the only way we have to speak so why are you shocked people are so staunch in their stances about season tickets? Sure, my $500 total individually might not mean much to Benson; but if 500 of us don't spend $500? That's a different conversation. I personally do not know DK or Gattuso; I judge them solely off their ability on their respective fields of play. In Gattuso's case, he got some redemption this year but I still don't think he will be able to sustain it based on 9 other years of history; if we are at or below .500 next year, it's an abject failure. His 'coaching sins' won't be wiped clean until he is perennially fielding playoff teams. EDIT: Or leaving Ambrose or whoever with such a program since it sounds like he's close to retirement. But DK? He has only proven that he should be an assistant so far. He's not cut out to be a HC. As of right now, he is 33-57 (36.7%). You want us to wait 2 more years? He is trending to be ~11-19 the next two years for a total 5yr record of 55-95 (36.6%). (FWIW, Browns last 3 years were 37.5%, 43.8% and 43.8% respectively as far as winning - Brown did NEVER not qualify for the tournament like we did last year - numbers that DK should dream of. BTW, I also do not know Brown personally.)
  11. I was a season ticket holder for 10+ years and dropped 2 or 3 years ago. Haven't looked back. I don't see anything worth spending money on. I have better places to spend $200.
  12. I like it more than the current and even previous brand.
