I already said there’s nothing wrong with a CBI banner. Perhaps if you had used that experience playing in the CBI every year, that would’ve helped your trainwreck of a BB program.  When was the last time you hung a banner? 

There's plenty wrong with a CBI banner. It's shows you have no dignity.

Think of all the CBI banners you could’ve had by now. Nothing wrong with them at all, but ‘nothing’ is better to UNLV because UNLV has been a nothing BB program most of the time. 

Reno hung a CBI. Lol.

Hang a banner

I believe a major part of the Rebels success of late is how effectively Kevin has utilized the bench personnel and identified roles for the players. He's asking guys to do what they are good at and really only that. Having Coetrell not be a "big" but a perimeter defender with bothersome length. Giving Karl Jones big minutes to help wear SDSU out. Making Webb a "we need a 3 or to hit free throws" guy. Having Jackie be a pesty on-ball defender and exploit mismatches on switches.  But then the next game these guys might get only a few minutes combined. 

Kevin isn't just trying to keep his "best" players on the floor as much as possible anymore. He's using the tools at his disposal.

Haley out is not necessarily good news for Trump in the most recent Emerson poll:

 

Haley primary voters break for Biden in the general election, 63% to 27%, with 10% undecided. In 2020 these voters broke for Biden 52% to 36%.

Not arguing, just putting this out there.

He was the perfect one to sub in against the Aztecs, they needed the big guy down low. Had to give KK props for that, and the defense in general.

i was impressed with the defense Kruger had his team playing, against a tough physical team. However, I would like to see KK develop some late game offense other than leaving a high schooler to iso against a really good defensive team. DJ is  developing the stones to deal with it, but I’d like to see some weight taken off his very young shoulders. He’s got plenty of time for that.

I think it's funny how for the first 38 minutes of a game basketball teams do all these plays and schemes but in the end go, eh f*ck it, that stuff doesn't really work, just let our best player try to score by himself.

I wonder how long it will be before the Fire Kevin Kruger Band starts marching again?

The very next loss.

Very good news for the conference and of course, SDSU.

No way does the drooling morons that make up the trump cult pick anyone not a raving nut job that is a clone of the orange crap stain -- Think who's some of the dumbest, racist & clownish in the MAGA cult & that's who will replace the OCS 

I really am not worrying about the NCAA tournament right now. Beating Reno is the only thought. We need to cap this regular season run the right way. 

But, regarding the NCAA. It's a selection committee, not a math algorithm. They select teams based resume examination but it's an art, not a science, and they seem to change what they emphasize as being important every year. We just have to hope they put more weight on the ups than the downs this time. And as @jdgaucho keeps saying, you got to put this in a national perspective. What happens with some team in the east or the midwest we're not even thinking about is as important as what unlv does. 

Very happy for the guys and Kevin. 

Rehhhbulllls!

Lawrence Tribe is quoted in this thread. Luttig is in this thread. God knows how many others from that clown car. It’s hilarious people still listen to these legal prostitutes that tell people what they want to hear. Not on Twitter but right here on the board.

I posted a Tribe piece to further discussion. He said the court would likely rule against CO and probably suggest Congress do something about it.

My man, here is a thread of esteemed legal minds meant to inform the public including one just mentioned.

 

I don't understand. You're dunking on Lawrence Tribe? Or Twitter people?

Only late by a couple of months but you can have your pat on the back too.

Who exactly are you dunking on? I honestly don't remember anyone thinking the SC would side with Colorado.

Looks like they led comfortably the whole way.

Huuuuge games coming up vs SDSU and Reno. If we can take at least 1 of em and not lose 1st tourney game, we might finally be back in a postseason for 1st time in over a decade.

WE WINNING BOTH

Yeah, but delivering justice 50 years after the fact is not mob mentality. Every single level of due process has been exhausted. I am fine with ushering him to eternity.  

50 Minutes after a conviction maybe is mob justice 

Why do you want him dead though? What will that fix that life imprisonment won't?

I agree. But I am in favor of life in prison terms. 

I think there's a good argument that it's okay to remove those from society that are major safety risk to others. The death thing is trickier. I can see an argument based on the old eye for an eye theory, but mostly it seems to stem from vengeance and emotion. We ought not run our society with a mob mentality in my opinion. 

We don't deserve to whine about the Utah State game anymore. This is just who we are.
