Now you expect us to sweep the #14 team in the country? What’s next in how you distort your facts, somehow all without any agenda?It is difficult to get fired up about something like that when the football team got annihilated by Illinois.
I'll try to look on the bright side - the Illinois basketball team looks like a team we should sweep.
Gordie, you have to learn to distinguish between statistics (facts) and opinion.Now you expect us to sweep the #14 team in the country? What’s next in how you distort your facts, somehow all without any agenda?
Everyone (to different extents), except Purdue, looks beatable.Maryland looked very beatable today. We really need to start the BIG season off with a win there. Next two games at Wake and at Maryland will tell us a lot.
You are correct, sir. I watched Wake Forest play last night. If we're good we should beat them. If we're mediocre we'll lose. They have a 6'5" guard who is pretty physical and goes to the basket a lot - scores a lot. They have a 6 foot point guard who might be trouble. They have a guy who looks like a smaller Ryan Young. I hope we dominate the boards and the post...Maryland looked very beatable today. We really need to start the BIG season off with a win there.

If you knew statistics, you would realize they require inference from a sample - you, on the other hand, just take all the numbers and state them as gospel, despite context, environment and other confounding variables.Gordie, you have to learn to distinguish between statistics (facts) and opinion.
If you are upset that I'm making fun of Illinois, please move to a different website!
I'm going to take a wild guess that no one took my comment seriously other than you, so don't worry about people expecting us to beat Illinois twice in hoops.If you knew statistics, you would realize they require inference from a sample - you, on the other hand, just take all the numbers and state them as gospel, despite context, environment and other confounding variables.
What you did above was set unreasonable expectations for our hoop team.
And please don’t tell me what website I should move to.
Gordie still relies on the television to tell him what he’s watching when it comes to hoops so don’t mind himI'm going to take a wild guess that no one took my comment seriously other than you, so don't worry about people expecting us to beat Illinois twice in hoops.

Maryland has not been super impressive so far.
And I’m observant enough to know a jackass when I hear one, so I’ve at least got you pegged.Gordie still relies on the television to tell him what he’s watching when it comes to hoops so don’t mind him
Did you learn that from Dick Vitale?And I’m observant enough to know a jackass when I hear one, so I’ve at least got you pegged.
What are you even talking about? I can’t refer to people if they’ve recovered from cancer? I suppose inferring that you are a fan of his does besmirch him somewhat. For that, I apologize to Dick Vitale and his family.Always looking to stoop to a new low - referring to a generous, beloved man who just recovered from cancer. I’ll gladly put my faith in him over you.
Illinois has problems that go deeper than talent. Until those are worked out, they are beatable. However, it is more than likely they will wake up over the next few weeks and figure out a new post Ayo identity.Now you expect us to sweep the #14 team in the country?
