FSU deserves to lose, but that was weird. Hamilton defending it is admirable to players, but bizzare everywhere else. Dana Jacobson did a great job pressuring without being aggressive on that line of questioning.

Actually a pretty good hire

Yeah, not horrible. But Pitt is such a shit show. He is signing a 7 year deal. It could take 4 of those years before they are even middle of the pack on the ACC again. Just in time for K to leave and him to jump back to Durham.

Don’t disagree. But I think there might have been a handshake agreement between all parties involved that Capel would takeover. But who knows?

I was kinda thinking maybe he was told he would not be K's successor, so he bolted.  Obviously I could be wrong though and K will coach like another damn decade.

Coach K does not look or sound good at all. I doubt he has many years coaching left.

Shep!

Mack to Louisville!

Which typically could mean not many years left on earth.  (JoPa)

difference being that Coach K is 71, and JoePa was 112

Yeah I do t think K will die in the next few years but I doubt he goes more than 3-4 more years

Hopefully not as good as ESPN would make you believe (they basically were rooting for Romeo Langford to go to Vandy for some reason).

I meant “for a Vandy class”....definitely some strange commentary throughout the game

That LSU dude is a monster

With Shittu and Garland, it’s already great. If hey land Langford, that would be Kentucky-esque.

Hopwfully Romeo just stays home and wears the Candystripes!
