    Rhoads on Sound off now

    So I'm confused...they were killers who would give up when people said "Uncle"? :confused: Maybe that's why our murder rate has risen in the last 40 years, either because killers stopped respecting requests of "Uncle", or maybe because us young'uns today aren't mean enough to say "Ok, ok...

    KTAR in AZ report contract terms with Stoops

    I still hold out hope that it won't be Stoops, if only based on the fact that that report seems to connect the dots awfully loosely and with no sourcing (not even the usual "from boosters" or "dentists") :skeptical: Even assuming this is true, asking permission to talk to a coach isn't the same...

I mean, we're talking about a game that was barely televised...

    ISU MBB Next Year: Better or Worse?

    I voted much improved, I do think there's a chance of some surprise success. I mean, on this team right now you have a lot of will-be-returning players who are underachieving for various reasons; whether it's getting used to the system and/or Big 12 ball, injuries (especially for Wes), etc., and...
