First, not TRYING to make myself look prophetic. I WAS/AM. All summer long I had experts telling me the JUCOs were going to be ballers and they will exceed the normal numbers because of extra pt, opportunity, developments, yada yada. The fact remains they are right at the 50% return.
More importantly, the thread bump had ZERO to do with you or your op. Many threads ignore the uselessness of an OP and take on an organic flow which leads to better discussions. During the flow, discussions about productivity of players became the focus of the thread.

Just false. Also the word "bury" is a sensationalist term that doesn't properly quantify the thoughts of many.

Peanut butter and jealous. You have a radio "show" whose twitter feed has 129 followers. I can't imagine what your ratings are. Might as well punch up at Gary and Geoff to make a name.
The radio show has existed for about a month (and the Twitter account even less time), so I'm glad you're paying attention. Check out the podcasts on http://www.bballjones.com. As Jamammy so eloquently noted, you can also find the link in the thread title.
I admire Geoff and Gary's success in radio and, even moreso, their writing. They've both done very well for themselves. I happen to not care for hardly anything that Gary says, or how he says it - and I even question his ethics, but I don't begrudge his success.
You and Jamammy seem like miserable people, FWIW.
I also rarely come to this board anymore because it seems populated with miserable scum, but it also appears that anyone with any respect for Tubby has vacated the premises.
I'll likely be next.
Sensitive.

What's the radio show's twitter name? His actual account has a few more followers than that. And a few more than you do.

The radio show is on KQPN AM 730 from 1-2pm on M, T, W, R. You can live stream it as well, and find all podcasts posted later that day at http://www.bballjones.com. Twitter handle is @The1pmShow. My co-host and I are Tiger supporters, though we try to be level headed about the program.

Yeah.
Tune into the salukiblue show at various times on memphistigers.org or @salukiblue for real (and sometimes uncomfotable) discussion on Tigers' athletics.
Most thoughts and predictions tend to be right, are easily verifiable, and might upset those with a weak constitution.

You probably are trying to mock, but good question. I didn't know this one existed until Friday. Glad he put it out there. Always looking for good Tiger info and competition for the predictable others.

Ahh.... wrong about mocking.
But linking your own stuff like that is supposedly an AUP violation of Rule #19----or so I was told, anyway. It seemed like a good place to ask that pointed question is all, just to see if anyone would provide that info.
