@ZaidJilani Pretty gross, cheap connection to draw honestly, especially on this website where you know exactly how that shit plays. Even if you pretend to believe Trump and Mamdani share a genuine commitment to "bottom v top," shoehorning in a an Epstein / Yglesias (?) shrug is slimy.
@MarkWarner What a flaccid, meaningless statement. Why even put anything out if this is all you're capable of? It's unbelievably disappointing Democratic leaders continue enabling the White House gaslighting. You're going to lose a generation of Democrats by continuing to enable this fiasco.
Devastating 11th hour development for the Lobos. It’s the way of the world, but going to be increasingly tough to maintain fan enthusiasm in college athletics with the total lack of year-to-year continuity.
New Mexico star freshman JT Toppin has entered the transfer portal.
The 6’9” forward started 35/36 games, averaging 12.4 points on 62% FG, 9.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 1.1 steals.
Toppin was named MWC Rookie of The Year, and was an All-MWC Second Team selection. Significant entry.
On the one hand, a spectacular choke isn’t a great look for the conference. On the other hand, I could watch Charles and Kenny rip Nevada’s coaching all day long and into tomorrow.
Pretty obvious the Committee set out to give it to the Mountain West straight in the ass.
Now it’s up to the conference (ideally led by the Lobos) to give it straight back.
Source: San Diego State is expected to deliver a notice to the Mountain West today that it will not withdraw from the league, as the school previously stated it intended to do. San Diego State plans to move forward as part of the Mountain West.
@GeoffGrammer Not to mention efficient with his scoring - well north of 50% overall - and knocked down 3s at a high percent when left open (even he’s not seeking those out). Can have him out there as a small ball forward who crashes the glass without messing up spacing.
All the regular caveats apply… but Coach Pitino has built an absolute wagon of a roster.
This team went from paper thin outside the top 7 in 2022 to an absolutely fascinating, wide open competition for run in 2023.
A lot of mouths to feed… but a good problem to have.
Isaac Mushila, a 6-5 forward who was first team All-Sun Belt with Texas A&M Corpus Christi this season and averaged 14.5 points and 9.9 rebounds, has committed to transfer to play for the UNM Lobos.
UNM has one open scholarship remaining. #mwbb
@KirkWrites79@deray If you read the uncropped quote, it’s pretty obvious he was doing a bit hamming up delusions of relevance. He’s making the joke about himself. But twitter can never take a play off…
@awfulannouncing Come on. In context this is so clearly a bit where he’s feigning complete lack of self awareness, because he knows how irrelevant he is to these guys. But I guess “yaaaas, drag him!”
