We appreciate your concern for UC. Rest assured, we will once again be at the top of the conference and make the ncaa tourney. We just ask that you focus your efforts on looking at yourselves and please, for the love of John, can you try and come in sub 200 in RPI, for once? The rest of us would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

The resultant better seed for UC will only lead to more embarrassment on premature exit.

Nope, Micky-boy is gone, bag and baggage.

Ok, so who is the center that will be starting over him the freshman that averaged 2ppg? It's not like he's a sure thing and you brought in a grad transfer for that very reason.

Who are you talking about?

McNeal's last year playing D1 he was a backup for the team that finished 106 kenpom. (2018)

The other possible starter is Cumberland (maybe both start) and he was the best player on kenpom 187 Oakland.

McNeal is 6-1. I'm talking about your center situation.

They don't have a center situation, which is why they are all so confused.

Yea. We're not staying any grad transfer at center next year.

Fellas, meet our very own TigerBill, a National Author and Writer. Friggin' very own awesome published books, I might add. Coming to a Barnes N' Noble near you. I got his signature, so should you when he shows for book signing. He's an awesome dude to meet, and his published books friggin' kick a$$.

Thank you. The books are available everywhere, although you might have to special order them in places. I turned in the new book yesterday by the way, so maybe a month before it's out. Have you seen the cover yet? Also, the non fiction WW2 book is going to the printer this week and should be available this month too.

As for Nick, I always pictured him more as a strong safety.

Love military history. I own all the Ken Burns documentaries.

Being D-Day, might need to watch Saving Private Ryan. My grandfather served under Patton.

My grandfather fought the Japanese in the Philippines, and I had a chance to interview him to share his personal experiences with my other History students at Memphis, so it's naturally a passion of mine, too.

He had pictures of men holding other men's heads like trophies, but he never spoke of his experience with his own children. He never wanted his children to ever be exposed to the horrific atrocities he witnessed during WWII.

They will always be "The Greatest Generation" in my heart.

You would love Tigerbill's books if it's a genre that interests you.
Nobody I've ever met knows military history more than Tigerbill.

We come from the same egg. A television series I absolutely loved...for obvious personal reasons with my grandfather, was "The Pacific," if you have a Firestick. It's 10, 1-hour episodes directed by Tom Hanks on the Pacific campaign.




But to keep this thread on track, I reiterate, there's no rational reason to believe Wichita will finish any lower than first place and Memphis will finish any higher than last place.

Watched it at least twenty times.

And we agree that the Wheat People will be champs, maybe undefeated, and there's no real reason to play the games since we will definitely finish last.

That’s an interesting subject. Less is known by us, but the Eastern Front was brutal from what I know.

If you enjoy the concept, Nick Angriff is basically the Fictional character that represents General Patton.
Don't just watch Saving Private Ryan.
Band of Brothers covers the European front. The Pacific, well, covers the Pacific front.

And Wichita is #1 in the conference and Memphis is last in the conference.

As long as we are off topic.....I know it's not a popular belief in the west but Russia virtually won the victory over Germany. Russian has got to be the definition of grinding. They just kept grinding in the face of impossible odds & hardship & virtually chewed up millions of German soldiers & most of their resources in Hilter's desire to rule all of Russia as well as Europe. Just look at the stats from the battle of Stalingrad (the region) - Germany lost near a million men (killed, wounded or captured), close to 1000 aircraft, over 500 tanks & over 1000 artillery pieces while attempting to take Stalingrad. Had Hilter instead focused on the west, Germany might well include all of western Europe today.

They just kept grinding in the face of impossible odds & hardship & virtually chewed up millions of German soldiers & most of their resources in Hilter's desire to rule all of Russia as well as Europe. Just look at the stats from the battle of Stalingrad (the region) - Germany lost near a million men (killed, wounded or captured), close to 1000 aircraft, over 500 tanks & over 1000 artillery pieces while attempting to take Stalingrad. Had Hilter instead focused on the west, Germany might well include all of western Europe today.

Officially, right at 2 of every 3 German soldiers lost were lost to the Russians. However, the postwar evidence is conclusive that Russia was going to attack Germany eventually, so there was going to be war regardless.

The new book is about the fight for Austria in 1945, which has never been fully covered in English before. 17 Waffen SS divisions were there at the end, it was a huge fight.

I turned in the new book yesterday by the way, so maybe a month before it's out. Have you seen the cover yet? Also, the non fiction WW2 book is going to the printer this week and should be available this month too.

As for Nick, I always pictured him more as a strong safety.

Love military history. I own all the Ken Burns documentaries.

Being D-Day, might need to watch Saving Private Ryan. My grandfather served under Patton.

Patton was about the only top flight army commander we had, but he was hamstrung by having lesser men command him. I don't know if you like Eastern Front WW2, Germans v. Russians, but that's what the new book is about, the battle for Austria in 1945.

That’s an interesting subject. Less is known by us, but the Eastern Front was brutal from what I know.

If you enjoy the concept, Nick Angriff is basically the Fictional character that represents General Patton.
Don't just watch Saving Private Ryan.
Band of Brothers covers the European front. The Pacific, well, covers the Pacific front.

And Wichita is #1 in the conference and Memphis is last in the conference.

Yeah, I saw that I’m a big reader.

Haha....I own both of those series also. I binge them both at least once a year. I binged the Pacific this week.
