Being from STL & knowing my meme's pretty well,

that 2nd one shouldn’t be a “Scumbag Steve” background, but rather “Good Guy Greg”. If I had time even though I probably do, I would fix it, but I really don’t care enough. I realized that once I got to college, where you went to high school really doesn’t matter at all, and therefore try as much as possible to steer clear of that as a basis of conversation.

What happens when officials decide to swallow the whistle and a good penetrating team punishes Mizzou for not having a true inside defensive presence? The author of the article specifically called out the end of the Mizzou/kU game as an example.

Link to article in question.

Missouri is playing 100% within the stated and de facto rules of college basketball

That we are able to execute this more effectively than most of the teams we’ve played says a lot about our coaching staff. For every charge-taking team like Mizzou, there’s a team that makes a living “drawing” fouls by initiating contact, whatever that means.

Further....everyone (coaches) know Mizzou is good at getting charges...

because they’re small, and quick. Which means what? Mizzou can get into position and beat you to a spot before you can get there.

Which I guess my statement isn’t “further” it’s exactely what everyone else has typed.

12 year JamO is nice...

but it has never agreed with my palette. The 18 year is pretty expensive, but it’s what I keep on my shelf at home.

Also, please PLEASE try a bottle of Redbreast Irish whiskey. It’s single pot stilled, from the Midleton Distillery in Dublin, and it is PHENOMENAL. The 12 year is $40ish in the store and there is not a better combo of taste/pretention/cost. LOL
The 15 year version (just released last year) is even better, but more pricey.

I know, could barely believe it myself.

I’ve never heard of something like that happening in Columbia. Kid had his “Golden Ticket” and blew it, which is an understatement. Columbia PD gave me a MIP (minor in possession) 2 hours before I turned 21. Too be fair, I guess my fault for being dumb, even though I was stone cold sober and had been sipping on the same beer all night.

Also, MUPD apparently has jurisdiction on East Campus, and because they were the ones who gave me the MIP, I had to write a reflection paper with the topic of “Why I won’t drink underage again.” When I met with the head of the student discipline office, he took one look at the paper I turned in and laughed. I sure learned my lesson

There’s certainly talent on the squad, and I am very hopeful for next season (mostly because of Dixon, Phil, and L-Bow’s return), but my guess is that it’s quite an embellishment.

Most important thing is that they've all been around this team all season

Seeing what unselfishness, teamwork, and mental toughness can get you.

For guys like Keion Bell (whose willingness to share the ball at Pepperdine was questioned) and Jabari Brown (who transferred after only two games at the collegiate level), that’s huge.

by CBonerfied on Feb 10, 2012 9:09 AM CST up reply actions  

You think so?

I think one of the reasons this team has been so successful is because of the “instincts” this team learned from xCMA, combined with the great poise and solid fundamentals that I attribute to the current staff. I wonder if we won’t lose something next year because of that….

"I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order. Like they should be."

by BigMOman on Feb 10, 2012 9:16 AM CST up reply actions  

If the team learned "instincts" from CMA

They wouldn’t have been an 11 seed, 8-8 last year in conference, and blown out in the first round. Teams with that kind of talent and depth don’t pull off such a feat if they actually had instincts.

The 2008-2009 team had “instincts”, and the year following did as well. But the fact that last year’s team seemed to lack all of the things that made those two teams so tight, with so much talent…

Don’t you think it might have been that Carroll, Tiller, Lawrence, Lyons, Taylor, and Ramsey were instinctual players independent of Anderson?

by CBonerfied on Feb 10, 2012 9:20 AM CST up reply actions  

Okay, I should have been more specific

I think about the CMA style that still shows itself a little bit: the tight on-ball defending (with a lot of deflections and steals), the occasional 3pt shot early in the shot clock, the “back at ’em” mentality off scores.

In my opinion, Haith has harnessed the best of these attributes, and combined with some his own style (better team defense, slower pace, more methodical offense). Both sets of attributes have contributed to Mizzou’s great success this year. I was merely expressing doubt in response to BST’s assertion that the team will necessarily be better with the last of xCMA’s influence departing.

And to answer your last question: No, I don’t think they were instinctual players independent of Anderson. You saw Lyon’s development throughout his career: he was a MUCH better player as a Senior than when he started. Players don’t develop in a vacuum. Anderson did a great job helping those players develop.

"I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order. Like they should be."

by BigMOman on Feb 10, 2012 9:29 AM CST up reply actions  

Lyons had nowhere to go but up from his first coach

let’s be honest.

And look at Kimmie’s progression from Freshman to Junior years. And look at now.

I know I’ve been piling on CMA in this post, and a lot of it is hindsight and recency bias. I was a HUGE apologist when he was here, but more than anything, I’ve learned that I’ll stick up for my guy. I’ve been sticking up for Haith since day one (yes, pull out the thread, I’ll pat myself on the back for my fHaith) because he has been our guy for the last ten months.

This season has shattered what I once thought about CMA’s system, though. Like you said, Haith took all of the good pieces of it…and imploded all of the crappy pieces that led to last season. And Arkansas still can’t win a game on the road.

From the wiki.

The acute oral toxicity of propylene glycol is very low, and large quantities are required to cause perceptible health damage in humans; propylene glycol is metabolized in the human body into pyruvic acid (a normal part of the glucose-metabolism process, readily converted to energy), acetic acid (handled by ethanol-metabolism), lactic acid (a normal acid generally abundant during digestion),11 and propionaldehyde (a highly toxic substance).121314 Serious toxicity generally occurs only at plasma concentrations over 1 g/L, which requires extremely high intake over a relatively short period of time.15 It would be nearly impossible to reach toxic levels by consuming foods or supplements, which contain at most 1 g/kg of PG.

It also contains a list of common products in which propylene glycol is found.

And compare that to the CMA staff

Zimmerman had been following him around forever. Cleveland and Jr. are both family, both played for him, and all they know basketball-wise is the Fastest 40 style. The one chance he had to bring in a different perspective, Watkins, was molded to fit CMA’s style, not offer a different outlook.

That’s the thing about groupthink organizations: when things go wrong, there’s often a reaction of denial, and a lot of stubbornness and refusal to change even when change is a must to succeed. The times that the Fastest 40 didn’t work, we all know how much it sucked. But not one person on the staff offered a different perspective.

NERD BREAK

2 things:

George Lucas has lost his mind.

The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn’t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down.

helmets off

i have no proof to back any of this up, but i think rise in concussions is partly because helmets are too loose. (and partly because kids receive much better medical attention, awareness, etc). helmet too loose, to me, equals head rattling around in helmet, which then lets brain rattle around in head that much more.

you never used to see helmets coming off, or it was very rare. now it’s extremely common. (and it was all i could do to get my helmet off back in high school / glory days).

by jbecking on Feb 10, 2012 12:31 PM CST up reply actions  

Agreed.

When I played (2 years ago), some players could hardly care enough to snap them on fully. Our coach made it a rule that they had to be snapped and tight, and I was only one of 3 to get a concussion. I’d say I agree with you. Sometimes I think players care about appearance more than protection

Not as big

The lack of padding really makes you slow down and not dive and throw your body into people. It does happen, and I would guess more than sports like soccer or something, but not as bad as football. I know of maybe 2 or 3 team mates that I know have gotten them in the 3 years I’ve played. The lack of padding really makes the difference. I suggest that teams start going with leather helmets again if they want to reduce concussions. Make people feel vulnerable and they slow down. Make them strap on what feels like heavy armor and they do stupid stuff.

I read something where a guy was saying that the waty rugby is played doesn’t lend itself to as many concussion. I have never played it so I have no idea. I have played soccer from the time I was about 4 until now so 30+ years and i have one concussion to show for it. Basically I fell on my back and slammed my head on the ground.

by drewder on Feb 10, 2012 12:57 PM CST up reply actions  

Ya, that does help aswell

The game makes both sides face each other constantly, are there are very few instances when you will be hit without seeing it coming, due to all the passes having to be backwards. Only on some kicks, and really dangerous rucking will you not see the hit coming.So you can get ready for the hit. Also, because play is constant, tackling for loss, big hits don’t mean as much. If you go flying in, going for the kill shot, not only is the guy ready for you, he can pass the ball off and get a huge gain, so conservative, sure (which is safe) tackling also keeps concussions down.

See this brings me to another thing.

Why do guys in football lead with their forearms. Whatever happened to just wrapping a guy up. Like you said I think this would lead to fewer concussions as well. How many times do you see a guy lead like that and not knock the guy down and he adds another 10 yards.

I was told about a study on freakenomics

that partial reasoning for the increase in concussions is that players know how safe they’re helmets are, and are less afraid to lead with their head……obviously that’s only partially what’s to blame for it…but it was interesting to see the psychological side come out of that issue. In an inverse way one might initially think.
