    NCAA Tournament First Four and Thursday Game Thread

    At some point maybe the committee should look at the tournament for what it is, a mini-series that lasts three weeks and which should produce at least entertaining television. UVA basketball is an affront to law abiding rims and backboards everywhere.

    Autry's Army - 2023-24 SU Hoops

    Copeland is going to be really good for someone. I felt the same way about Kadary Richmond. I just hope for his sake it doesn't take stops at four schools to get there. I feel the same way about college sports. When they did the video for Jim Boeheim day, I got so nostalgic for David...

    Autry's Army - 2023-24 SU Hoops

    We will never know, but they would have actually won the NIT. That kind of tournament is made for them. Is the only NIT winning squad the Leo Rautins gang? And I would think that playing would at least be a net positive in terms of keeping people around, and showcasing a pretty fun playing...

    Look at them getting after it in man-to-man. I hope that they do not lose Copeland. As maddening as he can be, he just seems like a throwback to the 80's when we had serious swag that often exceeded our results.

    Now for the Maalox of the transfer portal

    Autry's Army - 2023-24 SU Hoops

    Go rep the Cuse! I am nervous about this game. As maddening as this season has been on occasion, I like this team and don't want the season to end and then half to sweat our the Transfer Portal. Just one more game. And then one more.

    How Many Games Does Anthony Rendon Play In 2024?

    I am going to go with lucky #13. He watches the family film Arachnophobia, has a nightmare, and falls down a spiral staircase, whereafter he applies for permanent disability.

    Autry's Army - 2023-24 SU Hoops

    The age old question, which counts more, a great win, or does it hurt more to have a bad loss. To quote Jim Boeheim, I hate losing more than I love winning. I just wonder why a loss at Ga. Tech counts more against us than it does to Mississippi State, Duke, Clemson or North Carolina? Or in...

    If he can keep Copeland, Brown and Bell, I am more than all in. Maybe a little front court depth for the first time in like 15 years? My prediction is that both Bell and Copeland will be stars next year.

    Two things: Chris Bell playing some defense and Q fouling out after 11 minutes but after two of the biggest highlight reels you will ever see. Sign me up for the entire Copeland experience.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Trying to channel my inner Chuck Klosterman here. I think it is "interesting" that many "blame" LeBron James for initiating, or at the very least, catalyzing the player empowerment movement. In any other field we would be lauding someone to increases the rights of workers and their ability to...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    I get the subjective hate, but if Larry Bird were putting up numbers like this at LeBron's age and mileage, there would not be enough concrete in New England that would be erected in his honor.

    Autry's Army - 2023-24 SU Hoops

    By and large I have been enjoying this team. Their lack of any size to speak of needs to be addressed, and Mintz can be infuriating, but he can also be creative. I have enjoyed Maliq Brown and Q Copeland as much as any duo in CNY in a very long time. And they have pulled out some late game...

    What if you could change one thing - Red Sox edition

    This is just a great thread, with all the emotion and heartfelt comments of the Win It for Thread. The comments about Wake and Jerry being still able to hug their families and enjoy a ballgame really got to me. Still, to go down the list we have a lot of what if's. I fell in love with the Sox...
