NIT to experiment with new rules this season
-
@mayjay You’re right who cares about the Not Invited Tournament? Stats shouldn’t count for such an obviously Not Important Tournamnet.
-
So with quarter breaks what happens to the every four TV timeouts? Will that be adjusted? If not it’s another TO. Not sure that’s a good thing. But in general, rules need to stay current with the times, and interestingly, international ball is influencing this very American sport.
The one thing that won’t change is NIT will stand for Not In Tourney.
-
Where do you get your information that the NIT or any of the other tournaments are or were corrupt? I remember watching the NIT in the 70s when it was a prestigious event and never heard back then or since that it was corrupt or any of the other tournaments for that matter.
Do you have any factual information or is this another Jaybate theory?

@JayHawkFanToo All fiction no malice.

Why do you ask?
You recall I don’t do leg work for you, right?
And you know I try not to waste time with apparent mischaracterizations of my posts, right?
And you know I don’t even see a lot of the mischaracterizations of my posts, right?
And you remember I don’t do “theories”, and I tend to believe “conspiracy theories” are mostly memed for suckers, or the term is mostly used for smears, at least since the stuff about Intel and MSM reputedly using “conspiracy theory” for smearing came out, right?
And you remember I do “hypotheses,” or just opine and speculate as a layman fan, right?
Cat got your attack graphic?
Be of good cheer. De-wad your boxers. And enjoy the 14th.
Next.

@jaybate-1.0 In practice debates in HS, whenever we got caught making an assertion without authority, we used to say, Why that’s just common knowledge! In the case of the NIT in the late 40’s I think that works. Dunno about the others, though.
-
Ya think?
-
What do you think about the 1938-1940 period, specifically?
-
@jaybate-1.0 Burden of proof should be on the person making the claim.
-
@jaybate-1.0 Don’t know anything about that. I was hoping you would treat JHF2’s question seriously, like the rest of us do all our lives when someone says something startling (Huh? Where’d you hear that?), so I could do further reading. Your responses to him are really really odd.
-
Cool that Trae Young will be able to try out the longer-distance 3 line.
-
@Apologist Absolutely savage. PHOF
-
@mayjay Yeah, not sure why asking for a source would be treated with hostility. I get the “another Jaybate theory” isn’t particularly kind, but it’s far from insulting in my opinion.

I find both of your posts really odd at times, too.
But it’s okay.

We really are keeping @Red.Rooster busy with these posts about what you and I find really odd!
Rock Chalk!

NBA sucks. International ball? Who cares.
-
@jaybate-1.0 I think you’re talking about the 1949/1950 scandal, where NY mobsters bought players to shave points.
-
@jaybate-1.0 I am always happy when I get back on and find 10 to 15 upvotes because it is the assurance I need that @Red.Rooster is back on checking things out!
An interesting comparison, my warm feelings about Rooster vs my antipathy toward the other member of Gallus gallus domesticus, the evil el pollo!

I see, no answers. Nothing new there.

Why should someone be able to make an outrageous claim and the defense is simply like @mayjay said “it’s common knowledge”. That doesn’t work. Not if you want to have a meaningful discussion. Other people shouldn’t have to fact check for someone that’s making a claim, especially when it’s very likely hogwash.

Sorry to let you down.
I’m hoping you will see a pattern emerging here in my resolve not to engage you seriously.
You and I don’t need each other’s approval to have fun and matriculate here.
As always, my best advice is to resist the temptation to read my posts to avoid the unfulfillment. You are supposed to come here for fun and learning. If you get neither from me, by all means stop reading my posts. The format mercifully makes it effortless to do.
Rock Chalk!

Says you.
But I did not sign any by laws here that I have give you the evidence you ask for.
Further, you are assuming it’s outrageous, likely hogwash, and imputing its a claim with out giving me any evidence you are correct. I am not persuaded by you, but at least I am not calling it hogwash and demanding evidence. I’m fine with you opining, as I did, but dont expect me to agree or do your legwork for you. Man up and do it yourself. It’s ok with me if you don’t believe me.
There are things posted here that I dont believe and don’t respond to out of curtesy. There are other things posted here that are patently silly, or offensive, directed at me, that I respond to by not taking seriously. Other opining I learn from and have good give and take. I NEVER feel a poster, even an a-hole, owes me any evidence! I ask sometimes, but if I really want to know something I always go study for myself. IMHO, no poster here owes any other poster here a bunch of leg work.
And around the internet demanding more and more evidence appears increasingly one of the disinfo techniques of fracking discourse.
Get a grip!
Aliases don’t OWE aliases the evidence. It’s a gift if they give it, not an obligation.

@jaybate-1.0 And your approach could be called painting, not sharing. When someone asks for more information, sometimes they just are interested in where you saw something. If they suggest they disagree or disbelieve, and ask for where you saw something, they are asking for elaboration. Sometimes they are asking simply because it differs from what they thought before, but asking indicates an open mind.
You post the lengthiest discourses that supposedly invite discussion, but you flip off JHF2 all the time, and me half the time, and some others occasionally. But I think you don’t realize that many people might have similar thoughts or questions to the ones we raise.

@jaybate-1.0 Recently in a discussion with me you claimed TTU was faking injuries when it was all documented and one of the players had a broken foot. Then later you said KU players play through those injuries, but I can scarcely recall the last time a KU player played with a broken bone. So forgive me if I am a little weary at this point.
-
Way back when, when I was young, dumb, and full of %*$&, I paid for a tout where the guy told me to play Kent St ( or somebody ) at +8 with as much money as I could gather up, and Kent State? won by 48 points. I bet 1,000 on that one, and hit it big. Then, the next day the guy gives me 3 picks, and they all lose. To this day, I think that game was fixed.
-
@BeddieKU23 If they expand the free throw lane by four feet will the refs ever make a 3 second call?
-
@KUSTEVE It doesn’t have to be the game itself, just a con similar to the good old investment advice reverse pyramid. Could be he gives touts to an equal number each way and only keeps contacting the people who won on their last bet and keeps doing this until he has lost this group and sets up a new one, replenishing all the time. Often starts with a free one to prove how good he is and pull people in. The ones who lose toward the end don’t quit after winning a bunch of times in a row, because they figure he just had bad luck once. A good one can milk it for awhile with his trusting “winners”.

Whoa! Don’t be silly. I speculated Tech might be. You never provided convincing evidence they weren’t. So you’re POV is no stronger than mine. And the real point was whether they were making a best effort to win games, or resting for the conference tourney. I’m probably MORE weary with you at this point than you with me. Cole Alrdrich wore a mask for much of a season. Reed played operable. So many guys have played with severe injuries I forget them all. Selby worn a boot on a stress fx or reaction for part of a season. Remember WITHEY’s lip? He kept playing with that! Ellis played after the nose attack on the WSU player’s elbow. Kaun played on no knees his last season. Mario from Chicago played on one leg. You apparently haven’t been paying attention to KU play-thru ball. Try more bed rest, if you’re serious about being weary.

@BShark You have to remember, JB assumes any player that wears a shooters sleeve has an arm injury
And apparently a bloody/broken nose is the same thing as a broken foot lol.
-
I linked to an article talking about the broken foot. Was I supposed to get a note from his surgeon?
-
KU players play with amputated limbs regularly.
-
@BShark Somehow he is going to argue a broken foot is far less painful than some injury a KU player played through.

That explains why they are shorter by the time they have NBA combine measurements than when they enrolled at KU.

Now tell me what is wrong. Why do you worry about my post length? Why do you read my “painting? “ If you don’t like my posts and responses, if the painting and length seem weird to you why do you read and respond? Does what you are doing seem odd on your part? Why do you read long paintings, if you don’t like the experience? Why do you respond as you do? What makes an alias read what they think is weird? Why don’t you give yourself some limits? I give myself some. I don’t read every post. I often skip long posts, or even short posts.
Why aren’t you being kinder to yourself?
Focus on controlling what you read rather than on trying to control what I write. Isn’t that the healthy, happy way?
What would you think if I started saying you were weird for writing short, non-paintings?
No one is paying you to read my long paintings, right?
Be kind to yourself.
Just say no to my posts.
They are intended only for enjoyment.
They are not meant for everyone.
They are playful and often silly.
Do you really want to spend time reading and negatively judging another’s posts that you arent enjoying? It seems, sort of a waste.
Wouldn’t you really rather have fun reading short, non-paintings of others?
Be good to yourself.
Have fun. You know my icon now. It’s easy to avoid.
But I’m ok, whatever you decide.
Rock Chalk!

No it’s more like playing operable!
-
@jaybate-1.0 Why? Because I think sometimes there is a dialogue on an interesting topic, and I am a hopeless optimist that maybe you finally set aside your petulant side in favor of trying to get along.
You are right, that is on me.
The “painting” comment was only in response to your post describing what you do. It had nothing to do with length or content. I meant you put some things out there and instead of discussing them, you are like the painter who says everyone with questions about his art has to answer them him, or her, self.
Finally, what is the Buffer thing all about? I can’t go look that up anywhere!
-
@mayjay We are both hopeless optimists.
But you confuse petulance with tolerance and playfulness.
