    How did we get so many Saturday afternoon games this year? I kind of like them, but in the past they weren't kind to our W/L column, I don't think.

          Do you have any idea how offensive this is to people with the diabetes?

                      β€œThe rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

                          Looking at ORU: No traditional center/post play. They play Guard/forward rotations. They play 5 guys with 2.5 guys coming off the bench. I don't know what 2.5 is, but they for sure aren't 10 or 11 quality deep. Looking at other stats, they may not present the shot blocking abilities of many of the teams we have faced (or will face). The games they have lost were all on the road and they were all fairly close (less than 10 points difference), with the exception of the Iowa game. Interesting thing about the Iowa game. both teams went scoreless near the end of the game for a period of almost 4 minutes with Iowa up 10 during that stretch. So ORU played it fairly close in all of their losses (OSU, Tulsa, Iowa - maybe an exception?). They are giving up an avg 77 points per game.

                          Also of note, TU and OU seemed to turn the ball over quite a bit in their games, which
                          1. may have kept the score close
                          2. is only an indicator that it was early in the season and all teams struggle with TOs early
                          3. they are a little better than most at causing TOs, though that was not the case with Iowa

                          Just some things to keep an eye on.

                          All that being said....I hope the Shox aren't looking too much forward to their little Mexican holiday with beautiful white sand beaches and heizenberg colored waters Temps in the 80s this week. Not like our 40s. Ugh. Maybe they need a chaperone? I would be happy to volunteer my services.
                          Back to the Summer Wheat: 82
                          Oral Roberts: 66
