Consider the source. Most things he says are. The most telling thing about him might be that he keeps saying 0.0.

Okay, you have gone on record and we'll revisit this at the season's end. If BU has a 0.0% chance to win, would you be willing to give, say, 100-1 odds? How about my $20 versus your $2,000?? One more thing-- with your expertise on basketball, why are you not participating each week in our "You Pick Em" competition? Wouldn't you be odds-on to win??? BU has a 0.0% chance of winning the PLC. They are a wallpaper program, with no juice whatsoever. I don't participate in the PL Pick 'Em because (1) I often do not have the chance to watch week night games, (2) I can't keep up with when the games are/when each period starts with this ferkakta PL schedule, (3) the league has become boring over the past couple years, with a lack of good teams/coaches (Nathan Davis could turn that around in a big way, however), and (4) I'm not interested in what happens in a Colgate-Army game, just like I'm not interested in a Bills-Jets game just because they are in the same league as the Patriots. So you confess to not watching many games, yet apparently you can declare BU has 0.0% chance of winning the league? What?

How many games have you seen the wallpapers play ? 1 this year. Enough over the past couple years. No fans, no special players, no coach to get them over the top. 0.0% chance.

Yes, precisely. How many times did you watch the Cleveland Browns this year?

Yes, precisely. How many times did you watch the Cleveland Browns this year? Comparing the gap between the top and bottom of the PL to that of the NFL is laughable - but you knew that (though on second thought, maybe you don't). Give it up before the bizarre hole you're digging get's any deeper.

You're incapable of understanding the analogy. The point is that you don't need to watch a ton of Browns games to know they don't have a chance. You don't need to have watched a ton of Texans games to know that they don't have a prayer against the Patriots. You don't need to watch a ton of BU games this year to know they're the same as they've always been -- some talented players, a coach that doesn't make them any better, no fan support, will fade down the stretch and not win the league. If they couldn't win with Maurice Watson, they're not winning this year.

BU has a 0.0% chance of winning the PLC. They are a wallpaper program, with no juice whatsoever. while utterly ridiculous, this is great news for bu fans. given caro's track record of analysis, bu would now seem to have elevated to a 100.0% chance of winning the plc ! seriously, at this point i still think this is lehigh's league championship to lose. bu is a strong team and will be in the mix, as will bucknell... and the mighty holy cross crusaders. i believe some permutation of these teams will fill out the top 4 in patriot league regular season play and quite possibly be the semifinalists in the plc.

While it is always dicey to speak for someone else, I think there is consensus among the Crossporters who attend the games at the Hart Center that on any given night any PL team can beat any other (consider Loyola beating Lehigh on the Mountain Hawks ) home court.
Anyone who thinks BU has zero chance of winning the PL has obviously not seen them. But anyone who thinks that either Lehigh or Bucknell are shoe-ins, is similarly delusional. The rides to opposing courts are too long and the talent has leveled out but is spotty enough that when a good team plays "cold" they can well lose to a lesser team who is "hot."
This season will go down to the wire and the hot team, like HC last year, will win the tournament. And that could be any of them.

Looks like no "story," just 3 videos of top plays, all of which are dunks.
Makes one miss Malcolm Miller who really knew how to dunk.

I agree Kempton is the league's top player, although ironically the first of the PL's top,three plays of the week (1/13 version) was Foulland taking Kemton to school: campusinsiders.com/videos/patriot-league-top-3-plays-of-the-week-1-13-17/i think the difference between Foulland and Kempton may be somewhat less than some think. Kempton is a brilliant offensive player but a mediocre defensive one. Foulland in contrast is a very good defensive player, a candidate for defensive player of the year.

Makes one miss Malcolm Miller who really knew how to dunk. kempton's was a pretty "and 1" layup after a drop step and up and under for the hoop and harm, but yes, there was no article. our play likely made the list not because of malachi's fairly pedestrian dunk, but because of the nice block by champion and beautiful execution and passing by pb and kc to ma who filled the lane nicely for the finish.

Foulland in contrast is a very good defensive player, a candidate for defensive player of the year. good points and agreed. kempton is just so much more polished on the offensive end and a much better free throw shooter. both are strong rebounders. foulland is a beast defensively and has the edge in that regard. two very good players and foulland will likely be the preseason poy next year.
