College Basketball 2010-11

This is a college basketball thread, not an engineering thread.

Just because Duke's players aren't worried about being student-athletes, doesn't mean the rest of the country's players aren't.

In hindsight, it really didn't make sense for him to leave. Can anyone think of a coach who went to a program with worse prestige/tradition, in a worse conference, with worse current talent, and thousands of miles from his home area to boot?

 

No. I think there's always a chance CMA bolts. If the Tigers perform like I think they will over the next two seasons, it'll be hard to keep him at his current price.

 

Is Arkansas Anderson's dream job being a Nolan Richardson disciple?

 

Hard to say. He might relish the chance to succeed his mentor there, or he might not want anything to do with the school that ran his mentor out on a rail. Given his current situation, there'd probably need to be a lot of other incentive to take the job since it's in a worse conference and doesn't have much to offer in terms of program prestige or current talent(that's why they'd be hiring Anderson).

 

I don't think there's very much animosity remaining btw Arkansas and Richardson anymore. I believe I read somewhere the school has made a ton of overtures to Nolan recently. Could be wrong, though.

 

As far as program prestige, I'd put Arkansas above Missouri. Neither school has much of a national reputation for hoops (arkansas used to, but it has faded), but I think Arkansas carries a little clout regionally.

 

Both offer similar advantage in that they're the only big schools in their state. It will also be easier to win in Ark, since their conf sucks. But it would be a reset unlike Mizzou, where he has a little momentum.

Yeah, I didn't intend to say that Mizzou has more cache than Arkansas, just that it wasn't a clear step up to go to Arkansas.

Neil Armstrong called. He said you can kiss his ass.

 

So did all these people.

And they still have a worse engineering program than Illinois.

 

Yeah, there's not really a debate to be had here.

 

Yet they're ranked ahead of Illinois in Aeronautical/Aerospace/Astronautical Engineering (and other programs). If someone wanted to study a specific type of engineering, why would they care that Illinois is #5 as a whole and Purdue is #9? Wouldn't they be more concerned about how their individual program was ranked?

 

Illinois is #7 in Aeronautical/Aerospace/Astronautical Engineering. Let's be serious. Everyone knows U of I only get Purdue's rejects for that program. [expletive]. Might as well go to a community college over U of I if you're going to study that.

It's a nice effort by the Purdue guys, but it still doesn't cover for the original stupid statement by CB.

You're setting the bar pretty high if that's how you're going to judge Purdue fans on here.

I was a liberal arts major anyway. I honestly had no idea that Illinois was #5. I would've guessed Purdue was in the top ten based on reputation but didn't know their ranking either.

UI is only so high on those engineering rankings because they're paying off US News and World Report staffers.

 

The rest of the country has to worry about running a clean engineering department.

The second half of your sentence should be somewhere in the NSBB mission statement.

The Dean of the School of Engineering at UI of is a fell being, a sorcerer who exhales swarms of flies and drinks the urine of engineering undergrads from a goblet carved out of Archimedes’ femur.

 

His black faculty robe is stitched with incantations in the pattern of a circuit schematic, and it’s adorned with grim talismans like preserved fetuses harvested from the womb John Glenn’s wife.

 

He only travels by night, and he wears a block cowl woven from the pubic hair of Steve Wozniak to conceal the fact his face is half flash and half polished titanium.

 

It is with the power of his witchcraft that he lures prospective students to UI, and when he can’t fill the ranks of his dark platoon of soulless engineers marching lockstep across the university campus, he provides mercenaries and hessians with assistant ships (cubbiebum) and stipends in the form currency made from dried infant skin, redeemable at any campus bookstore.

LOL couldn't have picked a worse day for this comment.

 

SINGLER STAYS!!!

[Vanilla Ice]

Preseason #1

[Smack]

Preseason #1

 

turned out well for kansas last year

[SouthSideRyan]

He's ugly.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

Preseason #1

 

So will the media tell us it's ok to start hating Duke again if they are the favorites?

[da bears]

singlers staying because hes not good enough for the nba.

[Vanilla Ice]

singlers staying because hes not good enough for the nba.

Well yeah, but that doesn't make him any worse of a college player. He should be preseason all-america and could end up as Duke's number 2 career scorer.

yep, never said it didnt. he will go down as an all time great for duke. but the only reason hes not going pro is because its not looking good for him. not that there is anything wrong with having a great college career.
