OT: Things in sports that need to disappear

Ghost runners in extra innings. Play the game straight up

Penalty kicks in soccer at the end of games. Either end in a tie or continue playing the game straight up.

Penalty kicks in soccer during the game. The guy getting fouled should have to take it.

reviews in sports. The teams are getting an extra time out. The players should have to stay at midcourt or middle of the field and the coaches should have to stay on the sidelines.

I'm sure there are more but these are enough for now.
Actually a game ending in a tie is horrible and should be banned

OT: Gene Hackman and his wife found dead in their New Mexico home

95 year old parent with a pacemaker - at least once a month
He didn't want that much contact from his kids. Not the other way around. They didn't enjoy contact with anyone the past few years. Wake up. They died weeks ago and nobody knew because they didn't want people in their lives everyday. Sad but it's actually more common than you think.

This shot chart is a total indictment of steve pikiells lack of an offense

He shoots 86% (86%!!!) from the foul line and is going to the line more each game. Not factoring that in, and foul shooting generally, diminishes the shot chart value. And based on his foul shooting he certainly projects to be a good shooter in future years.
1. I agree he can be a good shooter
2. Foul shooting really doesn't mean much to shooting FGs though

Having a 5 that has his attributes is a non starter if you fancy yourself as a good defensive team. Really just ends the conversation.

There are many reasons we stink defensively this year. Our defensive play from the 5 leads the list.

Billy Townson moves into the finals and will be wrestling for a CA state championship at 132.

He is going against Moses Mendoza, who is the #5 ranked wrestlers at the weight and a Michigan commit. Townson is ranked 12th at the weight but just beat the #6th ranked wrestler, Ashton Besmer, in the semi-finals 6-0. He got a reversal and 4 nearfall at the end of the second.
Excellent! Good matchup against another big ten recruit let's see how well he competes.
