Isn't it clear that Brumbaugh wanted to continue to start, and saw the writing on the wall if he stayed here? Leaving was his prerogative. As for Styles, it sounded as though he wanted to return to North Carolina. That's his prerogative. I would have liked for both to stay, but sometimes the circumstances just work against you.

Burks reminds me of Styles, not that they are similar players in any way, but I had no clue what to expect from Styles, and similarly have no clue what to expect from Burks. I was pleasantly surprised by Styles, and hope to be pleasantly surprised again.
As for center, it is certainly good to see that Cooley recognizes the need. UCLA recently added a center from South Dakota State. I know nothing about that player, but I suspect that if Cronin likes him, he can likely contribute (although Cronin missed badly on Mara last year, who was described as a one and done, but turned out to be a stiff). In any case, my point is that players can sometimes be found in unlikely spots, so hopefully Cooley and staff are looking far and wide, and won't end up with a center version of Massoud.

Poor Grifter, cursing in court. Yes, vote for the orange psychopath "Republicans". You and your ilk are no better than your cult leader. Stormy Daniels testifies, Trump curses in an angry day in court New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan called Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche to a sidebar during a midday break to say that Trump was “cursing audibly” and possibly intimidating Daniels, who had begun testifying, according to a trial transcript. “I understand that your client is upset at this point,” Merchan said to the defense attorney, according to the transcript, “but he is cursing audibly and he is shaking his head visually and that’s contemptuous. It has the potential to intimidate the witness and the jury can see that.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/07/stormy-daniels-testimony-trump-hush-money-trial/Based on the scuttlebutt I'm hearing, it doesn't sound as though Stormy was intimidated by Windbag Blowhard at all.

“Took time to vote” lmao yeah they spent all that time reading the tweet and tapping their phone, what a labor intensive task showing the difference in the programs. It wouldn’t be a “stupid” poll if Casual hadn’t been relentlessly annoying since last year talking about Pitino or if this poll was posted when bother rosters were complete. Beating an horse to death is an understatement for him and certain people on this board. And he has I think close to 15k followers. I wanted Pitino too but people need to get over it already sheesh. I don’t know about you, but I don’t vote in every poll I come across. 951 people felt it was worth voting or felt it was important to have their voices heard. That’s all. hoyaboya voted 750 times.

Reversing one of her own decisions, the federal judge overseeing former President Donald J. Trump’s classified documents case granted his request on Monday to postpone the deadline for a crucial court filing in the criminal proceeding, increasing the chance that any trial would be pushed past the November election. The ruling by the judge, Aileen M. Cannon, was made in a bare-bones order that contained no factual or legal reasoning. It did not schedule a new deadline but erased the one she had set almost a month ago ordering Mr. Trump’s lawyers to file by Thursday a detailed list of the classified materials that they intend to introduce at the trial, which is set to take place at some point in Federal District Court in Fort Pierce, Fla. -- NY Times May 7 2024 Corrupt Loose Cannon continues doing the Grifter's bidding. A fine jurist, much more qualified than those corrupt judges in NY and DC.

They are doing a major disservice to the country. Every time a story about Trump comes up, people should be continually reminded of the horrifying dystopia Trump promises his second term would be as he himself laid out in his Time magazine interview. It’s unfathomable to me that people would find his promises acceptable, especially among those that consider themselves “patriots”. Well, a significant portion of those "patriots" think that the word patriot means feeling empowered to be overtly bigoted and racist. Full stop. And also to overthrow a duly elected government based on nothing but falsehoods.

Not great. I had more confidence Stewart was gettable than Cliff. Hopefully other targets were identified and we pivot quickly. Shocked by this news…if Cooley can’t close a guy like Stewart, with his background, up against Ohio State, that is just pathetic. He says about the guy he didn't want.

[/a] to the Putin regime would be too much for even Trump. [/b] Wow, i hadn't even considered Gabbard's potential to tap into the great midwestern animuns for Hillary Clinton, whose ridiculous and unsupported Putin charges (joined in by John Brennan as I recall saying with no evidence that Gabbard had ties to Putin) against Gabbard would be a renewed catalyst for Hillary hatred. (I always remember the summer of 2016 when I was in Madison Wisconsin and saw all the Trump signs on my trip back to the airport and heard all the stray anti-Hillary talk in UWisconsin lobbies and saying to myself Trump could actually win this thing). What a wonderful conversation to revisit from the Trump side.[/quote] We'll see how well some of these boaShut upl posts age. [/quote] Something seems to be wrong with my system, as despite repeated tries, I've been unable to correct the garbled post above. Try this: We'll see how well some of these boaShut upl posts age. I'm sure Trump's recent interview with Time Magazine will do wonders for his support.

I can't believe Marjorie Taylor Greene making a motion to vacate the Speakership. What a dumb thing to do. With the current Republican lead in all the swing states, which may even be understated, the Republican Party is almost at the point that they just need to show up six months and a few days from now. There is no way this turns out well, the show only diverts from needed campaign messaging and only helps the opposition. True political incompetence. MTG is many things but she is not incompetent. (Lauren Boebert is another story.) Greene knows that Johnson will survive a move to vacate the chair but this is a ploy to draw away donors from Republicans in Congress that do not support her. If it succeeds, it increases her ability to be a power broker for donors and given that Johnson is not a leader of the party in any way, shape, or form, it is an attempt for her to gain leverage if the Congress flips to a D-led House and a R-led Senate. If it fails, it is soon forgotten. On a wider tangent, it also is another step for her to position herself as a player in 2028 when neither current nominee is constitutionally eligible to run. What makes you think that will stop one of the candidates?

I bet he knows of another way to vacate a building. If the reports I read about the goings on at Columbia last night are true, Bowman is way out of line.

Im not trying to disparage Styles, he came in and played hard. His numbers were OK offensively, fairly poor defensively. A solid secondary player. Stewart is a stud defensively and one of the best rebounders in the country (somewhat small sample) He wouldn't give us a ton offensively but doesn't need to be as the 4th or 5th option. Peavy and Stewart immediately make the defense better Defense? Do we need to improve our defense?

Sean Stewart's brother is a sophomore at Howard: hubison.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/miles-stewart/7762This one's a done deal. Given the kid's background/family, Georgetown's a perfect fit for him. Hopefully we don't have to expend too much in NIL, his family is obviously well-to-do. It would be great if we can save on Stewart and still have enough to bring in Cliff O. If we do that, I'll get over the fact that we will have 3 guys that are all 6'9", 220-230 pounds, none of whom can guard a true high major 5 man. Excellent attempt at the reverse jinx - with a dollop of damning with faint praise - Trolly McTrolly. This. Plus, I fear we may be putting the cart before the horse. I'm sure Ohio State also has plenty of NIL$ to offer him, and I'm at a point where I don't regard us as a lock for anything. We'll know before too long.

H5N1 is Bird Flu. Over the last 25 years or so there have been periods in other countries where it has crossed from birds to humans and the 58% mortality rate is from confirmed cases investigated by the WHO in foreign countries and it is unknown whether that number has any relevance as the only people tested for bird flu in those countries were people sick enough to be hospitalized. H5N1 Bird Flu in our country has been crossing from birds to cows and is causing some cattle to get sick. News this week that in the ballpark of 20 percent of milk samples tested both by government labs and private labs show particles of this virus in milk samples. It appears routine pasteurization of milk is inactivating the virus so it is not infectious to people drinking milk (unless they were to get it from a farm before it is pasteurized.) There have been two cases of humans in this country getting it from cattle they worked with one this year and one in 2022. Both had mild illness and recovered quickly. There have been no cases reported from drinking unpasteurized milk. Separate issue is surging measles in many countries. Outbreaks are starting in the unvaccinated and sometimes passing to people who's vaccination protection has dropped off. Some states in the United States only required one dose of MMR to be considered fully vaccinated so some people who only received one dose of measles vaccine as a child may not be immune and may be at risk. As another example in Illinois there have been 64 cases already this year which is more cases than were seen in a whole year in more than 30 years in my state. Thanks for this info.

…including vaccine disinformation. Excuse my ignorance (could ask Dr. Rooter, I guess) - H5N1 is measles? And it has a 58% mortality rate for unvaccinated children? When was the measles vaccine developed? I recall having measles and German measles when I was a kid, but that was more than a few decades ago.
