  1. all of which would be the legal part of his job. That is pretty nuts.
  2. RIght - that's an office inbox. Not to mention you don't put your title in your real email at UM because you pretty much keep it forever while titles come and go.
  3. most E-Mail addresses at the U are in a public directory, though the AD's is not.
  4. probably helps UM with a judge because it shows clear intent to frustrate due process and a judge won't like that.
  5. ESPN is saying 'sideline ban'. Does that mean he can sit in the press box? That might not even be worth appealing. Probably also not what they meant!
  6. Pretty much. I suppose you could come up with a nutty scenario where they beat PSU and OSU butsome weird stuff happens like a monsoon during the game and they lose Maryland.
  7. they have private property in China, just no effective rule of law to protect owner rights from state fiat. It's a fair argument that's a sort of distinction without a difference, but while there is still a lot state owned industry in China - especially around the Red Army/defense sector, the concept of communal ownership of the means of production isn't much of an organizing principle for development in China. No doubt Xi had/has designs to reverse that tend, but I don't think he's gotten very far. China has also been ranked by some methods as having the world's most billionaires, so economic class stratification is very much alive.
  8. It strikes me that we need some new term for these regimes that may have had their seeds in Marxism but have moved almost completely away from a Marxist economic model. Putin has taken Russia all the way to plain dictatorship, so the description there is simple enough, but we could use a new word for what a place like China is: "Capunism"? Comsicm? Who is this era's William Safire when you need a new word coined?
  9. The broadcast re-alignments seem to have a flavor of professionalism about it. The ethos with Bally recently has been throw anyone in front of the camera or microphone that was nearby and might have a decent 'Q' score. Hopefully this is a broad push by Harris to move toward pros who know what they are doing.
  10. 4 on 3 is pretty a steep advantage. I didn't find a number for it, but given that the average 5 on 4 PP success rate is in the 20s and 5 on 3 is ~70, 4 on 3 is probably also in the 50% or better range.
  11. Judges are on call for this kind of stuff pretty much 24/7. And it will just tick-off the judge more and make him even less sympathetic to the B1G action for them to bring it on an off day. But the other side of the coin is that maybe Pettiti doesn't care if the court reverses him. He gets to play good cop with the other coaches, the games (and revenue stream from having a top contender) go on.....
  12. yeah - it was kind of a natural reaction brain freeze, but it ended up being costly.
  13. bad play by Riemer, bad acting job, bad outcome.
  14. Untied, retied. 2-2
  15. I could see an angle where the logic was not so much about the playoffs per say as that by the deadline he knew he hadn't been sharp , maybe was nursing something and figured that the sooner the season ended for him this season, the less damage he might do to his FA value. It's just a theory.
  16. Oxidation, stress from even low level thermal cycling, spiders crawling around the connections..... Time gets everything in the end.
  17. Kelser was talking about that during the game - talking up the value of a 4yr college player.
  18. right - but all that said, he still has to give the ball up faster and then be more effective with the ball in someone else's hands because to keep repeating what happened last night is pointless for the team and Cade.
  19. White Sox tend to be a cheap org don't they?
  20. Yup, after Lillard traffic-coned Duren the 1st time you could see it coming. The one push back I would make is that Cade also has a worse A/TO ratio than Luka or even Embiid. IOW, the TO number would be easier to accept if he were a better passer than he is. And granted, put him on the court with other better players and we should see more successful assists, but like his shooting, that jury is still out until we see it. And likewise the scoring is great but again, how impressive is it measured against his usage? His EFG is not in Luka's ballpark. Right now he is the is almost the only option on a epicly bad offensive team, which results in too much forced offense for Cade. Cade's bad luck to have come to this team and now a coach who seems to be OK with too much hero ball.
  21. So here is a question: The bar on in person scouting is a B1G rule. Does TCU's conference even have such a rule? If not maybe they expected to have to protect their communication?
  22. "Bally" is just a trademark at this point. It seems likely that whoever ends up owning the broadcast origination, they are likely to leave in place as much of the current asset they assume as they can - but nothing is for certain.
  23. LOL - did they let him meet the Bally crew he has to work with before they got him to sign?
  24. The Rangers will be bad for a long time in the future as the cost of this Championship. Whether an owner wants to go that route is his decision to make.
  25. Yup, and half the schools in every conference realize that this outcome is would be the death knell for their programs because that paid league is not going to be more than 40 teams - maybe 50 tops. That leaves half of the CFB out in the cold. So the desperation out there is real, and justified.
