As much as we love Bo — and yes we watched the Bo 30-in-30 for the 12th time last night — Herschel has the ultimate trump card: He never lost an SEC game. And he won a national title with Buck Belue at QB for crying out loud.
We would love to say the 80s belonged to Bo — and you could make an argument that they belong to Bo in all sports, but 80s college football was Herschel's.
JMC —
No, fragmated is a word. It's when two Fraggles pro-create.
Concur with you NBA breakdown — and yes, that's our first Hunger Games comparison around these parts in recent memory.
And if a scorer like Steph Curry falls on to your roster, you fit your system to his skills. There are how many guys that consistently score 25-plus a night? You make the most of those guys.
Stuck —
The Mannings is a great call.
Spy —
Nice call — Neagle is Maholm; Finkle is Einhorn.
And any time we get a Jimmy Walker shout out, it's good times.

Like the Fielders better than the Boones, but the third generation stuff is a big deal.
And I'll kind of answer your Couples question. Couples was supremely talented that would have been much better if not for the injuries. But he can't be in the Hall of Fame. He wasn't good enough on the course consistently enough. So, he's not overrated, but he does not belong in the Hall of Fame.
Have also heard Stansbury name of late. Had not heard Keatts.
Figured Izzo's right-hand guy would be a stretch. Here's saying that being anywhere on the Spartans' bench pays at leads six figures more than being in the No. 1 chair on the Mocs bench.
We may have a little point-counterpoint with Drew on here about sports betting. Although you're right, it likely would be point, point, concur, concur type of thing.
MocTastic —
While the Lady Mocs have hit a level of dominance in the SoCon, there seems something wrong about comparing Wes Moore with the guy whose name sounds a lot like Wohn Jooden, no?

Congrats to the highly educated better half.
It's amazing how some weekends turn out that way. (Would your super-hero liver wear a cape? And yes, Tequila is the devil and yes, Mint Juleps are minty in name only.)
Great back forth today, and JMC thanks for fielding the Super Hero question.
As for the Summitt debate, and MocTastic's point is the most valid. But that sword goes both ways, some of you make it sound like because he's a Summitt, that's a bad thing.
And Dude you need a Del Curry could flat-out shoot the basketball. Steph may be a better all-around player, his old man was every bit as good a shooter.
Wade or Stephens are my picks for the Mocs gig. Wade brings an exciting style, but I'm a little nervous, since he's so young and inexperienced. Stephens isn't quite as exciting from a style of play standpoint, but he has been beside Izzo forever. That means he's good in my book. Felton and Brannen would be solid too. Konkol is my least favorite, but it would hardly be a disaster to get him....
Yes, I'll watch more horse racing this year. I'll watch the Preakness and the Belmont. It's those three that I watch annually, and that's it. Me, the wife, and kids drew names for the Derby....and my wife won with Orb too. My best finish was fifth with Mylute. Oh well.....

Thanks.

Nice response.

FE to the C —
Petty, like Earnhardt, can be on both lists.
Lee to Richard is a good one; Richard to Kyle is bad.

I'll throw the Mannings out there.

Look at MocTastic dropping the internet video....
Excellent addition.
Kid has skills, and he does things at full speed the way (cover your ears Spy), a young Jeter did.
Things you can't do at full speed if you are thinking about them, you know. They are just instincts and reactions.
And they are awesome in their awesomeness.
5-at-10: James nearly perfect, wet racing and UTC coaching update
MocTastic —
No doubt, Wes leaves some Bozo-sized clown shoes to fill.
And here's saying that the new Lady Mocs coach is going to have some 'spaining to do if next year's team is not the class of the league.
