MAGA Hero Elon Musk is grifting Hurricane Helene survivors....

Musk promised free starlink access, but still requires survivors pay $400 for equipment. This while criticizing the federal government's response.

Next thing you know trumpty dumpty will be hocking "I survived Hurricane Helene" t-shirts to survivors for $60 each. Of course, they will be made in China.


Sorry if I missed it, but Rivals/Yahoo

Has developed a new way to piss me off- if that's possible. Am I the only one out here that has to make two or three "back" clicks to navigate from page to page? From the homepage I click on an article which takes me to the "subscribers only" page, and then click again to access the article.

But going back to the homepage I have to click back three times to get to the previous page, and then three more clicks back to homepage. This is on a Windows desktop, not the mobile version. At first I thought maybe my internet was slow to respond, but two additional clicks moves it every time. Beyond aggravating, as I do most of my TI browsing on the desktop. I also have this issue on "Talking Chop" a Braves website (not sure if Yahoo based also).

Edited to mention this is not an issue on the West Zone.

*** Question for our basketball coaches/minds here ...

A very rudimentary question for our basketball folks ... @OrangeBandit, @CUPLAYER1, @crope1, and all others who want to chime in.

Long story short, looking for your most basic man-to-man motion offense play ...

I help coach a SCISA girls team full of kids who ... aren't basketball players, and it shows haha. And yes, there absolutely reaches a point that no matter what you run, it doesn't matter if the kids cannot pass or have any sense for movement.

After various efforts last year to implement a 5-out motion offense with a J-cut, that was abandoned, and the closest thing I've got to something that works is a 4-around-1 where the PG starts up one side, and it's pass-and-screen away from there.

We're essentially playing four guards and a post, personnel-wise -- although really only two guards who can do anything with a dribble.

The issue I cannot rectify is the first pass they want to make is the square one up top, and the angles there are just leading to too many breakaway layups in the other direction haha. Yeah, I can put in pressure release in theory and all that (2 goes to screen for 3), but what really happens in reality is simply three perimeter kids making ineffective V-cuts that no one buys, and a right-handed PG always looking to that one guard staying at the top.

We've moved our one potent player off the ball to try to improve the overall team. Our post, preferably, stays down low.

That's a lot of details for something you probably can't picture. Maybe it's more a cry for help.

But just seeing what anyone here likes as far as probably a middle-school level play? I've got multiple zone looks taken care of. Have some BLOBs that have been fine -- no more or less -- but always open to an improved one.

Also deliberating the details in what kind of 1-3-1 halfcourt to add.

We won a few games over the summer, so there's a chance to be ... competitive ... at their level, no more or less. So trying to clean up all the details before practice gets underway here soon.

Yikes! MAGA NC Gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson: "I'm a black Nazi"/loves tranny porn/peeping on women

Holy hell, it's always projection with these MAGA types. Of course, the fact that this clown was a Holocaust denier, paid for his wife's abortion, called gay people "filth", lauded the practice of slavery, said he wanted to go back to a time when women couldn't vote, etc. didn't bother the MAGA morons who actually let this dumbass run on their ticket....but this stuff now is apparently a bridge too far.

Remember...this is the lunatic that Trump said was like "MLK on steroids". Now Trump's staff is freaking out and trying to push him out of the race because they are already worried about losing NC to Kamala.

Great party you Republicans have right now. You should be ashamed that this idiot got anywhere near your ticket, but that's life as a MAGA extremist these days.

ACC TV matchups this week

Horrendous.

3 of the 6 games are being played in North Carolina. Two of those games will be playing at the same time so market cannibalization will have both games with less eyeballs. The ACC game that will get the biggest numbers will be the Notre Dame/Stanford game even though that happens at a time of two Big SEC and Big 10 games. The "best game" is UVA vs Louisville.

I realize we can't do anymore than we are already trying to do about getting out of this league. ESPN will be justified in offering a garbage contract to extend the league or not offer them and let us test the waters.

Best Athlete you played against (Not Famous)

Who is the best athlete you ever played against and for whatever reason, he/she did not go to pro or to college? Just a regular Joe that you still remember to this day.

Im an upstate guy, so it's isolated for me obviously, but I've got a few that come to mind:

Vare Hamilton- DW Daniel
Jason Griffith- Pickens
Antoine Black- DW Daniel
Aubrey Gibson- Seneca
Corey Washington- Seneca
Jeff Vitaris- Seneca

Maybe these guys went on to play, but if not, it's a shame.

Who you got?

TD Probabilities Based on Red Zone Starting position

I was trying to make the point that play calling being conservative leads to lower TD probabilities. I found an article that shows the data.

https://phdfootball.blogspot.com/2013/06/field-position-and-scoring.html

Focus on the blue curve:
0-5 yards: TD probability decreases from about 85% to about 63%
5-10 yards: 63% to 48%
10-15 yards: increases and plateaus around 53% (since you can get a first down in the 0-5 yard range)
15-20 yards: decreases again from 53% to 44%

So you really need to be more aggressive from 9-10 yards out and 15-20 yards out in play calling in my opinion.

In the FSU game, after re-watching the film, there are some examples of conservative play calls but also a few lower probabilities plays.

My takeaways are:
1) Add more Mafah runs off tackle instead of inside
2) Need a dimension of RB out in the flat for a reception (I would like to see Jay Haynes in this role), We seem to have plays for TE but not RB.

We did get very conservative on O in Q4 inside the RZ but had many drives stopped before Q4 due to poor execution.

So play calling grade I would rate a "B" if you throw out the Q4.
