OT: Plane and helicopter collide in DC

The helicopter had its tracking technology turned off, the technology better allows ATC to follow the flight.
So not only was the copter 100 feet higher than it was supposed to be, it’s tracking system was off in the busiest airspace in the country.
Somehow, I’m going to be told “this isn’t unusual”
Military aircraft turn off these ADS-B transponders on a regular basis. The ADS-B signal can apparently be picked up by anyone with the right equipment and is the basis of the various flight tracking websites out there.

So obviously having the transponders on for military aircraft all the time would be a problem. However for a basic training/evaluation flight like the one this helicopter was on, doesn’t seem to reach the risk/reward threshold to turn it off.

Has there been any insight how Harper went from OUT to IN overnight?

Who's discussing that?-- discussing the speculation like the seriousness of his issues, his desire,why he did or didn't play and every other innuendo based on nothing.
Well 66-
It’s normal!
The better the player is, the more impactful and important he is….the more his presence is missed, the more it will spurn speculation and conversation.

THE OFFICIAL 2024-2025 NET RANKINGS THREAD

I do have a thing w JWill, he drives me crazy, but just rewatch the first half. Even in the game thread, which I normally don't comment in, I made comments on my surprise we hadn't seen Acuff yet (while admitting JW had been at least OK to that point besides the foul), and commented on his lack of D.
Anyway, game is over, its an excellent win, and JWill played a role in that, so I'm glad.

There is a reason Acuff isn’t playing when Dylan is healthy. It’s very obvious. Not everyone is meant to be a role player. Tyson reminds me of one of my sons out there in AAU when he doesn’t have the ball. He stands there hoping the ball will come to him. Without Dylan he’s the best option to create for himself and plays plenty. With him? Not so much? Zero points or assists since Columbia I believe. The two 3s he hit were with Dylan on the bench.

There is no circumstance where Acuff is a better choice on D than Williams. If you think so then your just biased. Tyson got his old man reputation on here for a reason. I don’t know what else I can say to convince you but Pike is at practice every day.

OT: Seton Hall basketball fans send message during no-show against Butler

Rutgers is the big loser in this case, as we’re going to have a giant stinky Q4 landmine game every year that we’ll have to avoid to not destroy our season/seed lines. In a rivalry game which in college sports are always close no matter the records. We don’t want to be their super bowl every year … need to seriously consider this series
Isn't this what Kevin Willard used to say about playing Rutgers?

OT: 2025 NY Giants Off Season Thread

I remember when I believe it was Mariano Rivera in baseball had someone vote against him getting into the HOF. That person should’ve never been able to vote again.
The pro bowl means nothing anymore in football yet that’s always listed for a potential HOF candidate. I think Eli should’ve got in over Sharpe. The voting process needs to be reviewed
No. Rivera was the first player ever unanimously elected. So think about that, in particular all the previous, better players who were not unanimously elected. It was just silly for decades.

GAME 23 ILLINOIS: Darkness, Juju, Layers of Skin, Armour, Dylan Harper

The bonehead plays by JWill are mind boggling this late in the season for a team captain and leader- the 10 second violation when he was not covered; the 3 point foul, shooting early in the clock during the last 2 minutes, the walking violation. He did make up somewhat for these with his foul shooting and intensity in the second half, but still could have cost us the game. BTW, we all have moaned about the team's foul shooting all year, but this game was clearly won at the foul line.

Yeah he’s a very frustrating player but to me it’s pretty obvious that we don’t have an alternative who is a better option to play the 25ish minutes he’s getting alongside Dylan and Ace. Davis is already out there with him for at least half of that time (and sitting only when Pike is looking for a bigger stretch line up). I’m not sure how many games Acuff needs to be invincible in on offense with Dylan for some folks to stop campaigning for him to get more time. He doesn’t know how to play a supporting role on offense with a healthy Dylan. At least to this point. At least that’s what the statistics to date demonstrate as he’s scored a total of 6 points in games Dylan played with all when Dylan was on the bench since Columbia.

Acuff is the worst defending guard on the team. So for him to warrant time, he has to be contributing on the other end.

Look for whatever reason you seem to have a thing against J Will. I don’t know what your deal there is but this isn’t the game to pick on his defense. You said he was bad in the first half and I point out that we only gave up very few points in the 13 or so first half minutes that he played. He played 25 of 40 minutes and Illinois probably scored 2/3 of their total points in the 15 minutes he was on the bench. If you think he just got “lucky” and the guy he was responsible for just missed shots that’s probably something to keep to yourself because it’s simply not what the data says. Obviously Pike agrees with me and not you here as Acuff only played 4 minutes in this game.
