CCL Starts Tonight!

Yea but do we really want to risk someone getting a serious injury that could knock them out of next years national championship? I would feel more comfortable if only seniors were allowed to play and we protected the underclassman.
Michael Jordan brought other NBA stars together to play in off season during a dynasty...but our guys shouldn't play CCL because they might get hurt. Sounds like a good plan.
Exactly.
Don't waste milage on North Polk dudes- actually play to get better and stay sharp. NBA all-stars don't grind in the summer leagues, do they?
Comes down to opportunity cost. Given how low the play is in the CCL tmaking a nap would be more useful in getting ready for the season. It's no wonder you see them frequently miss games.

Have you ever thought they enjoy playing pick up games and especially ones where they're looked at as stars? I mean they tweet out the box scores, interact with the fans, etc. If they weren't playing in the CCL they'd probably be playing some pick up game at some gym in Ames instead.
Wow. It's unbelievable how clueless people are. These guys play basketball games with their friends in their own gym which would be the same equivalent as this. They aren't going to give up playing basketball other than practice and real games because of some idiots with no balls.
Plus I'm still waiting for this list of good players we lost for the year due to CCL.
Anyone?

The CCL has to have ruined our season many times for you guys to worry so much right?

I want to say that Diante might have broken something during the CCL one year.....I don't think it affected him for the season though.
Didn't see this anywhere

No one said there has been or would be a list of injuries.
If the quality of play is crap and as such players skipping or missing games has merit. The point was not that playing in the CCL is so risky or horrible, but that guys not playing in it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Huh? What stuff does the YMCA provide for us to buy? I've never done more than paid $1 for a program.
Snacks (Pizza slices, candy, chips) & beverages (pop, juice, water).
Programs are $3 this year.

Wow. You do realize half of our team has sat out at least one of the first two CCL games, right? And nobody is saying they should "give up playing basketball other than practice and real games," it's just that there's not much benefit to playing in CCL. There's no need to go hard in CCL and taking a game off is not a bad thing.
To say we have "idiots with no balls" simply because some fans are saying CCL isn't that important is pretty funny to me.
This thread: 10 highlights posts and 206 posts about whether the players should be playing in the CCL. Never change CF, never change...
Tommy Birch did one night & another guy did the other night (can't remember the name). I might do it if I can make it tomorrow
Quit trying to back track. You were saying they shouldn't play, not that they should take a game or two off like they normally do. There's no benefit of not playing it it either, because they will still be playing similar basketball on their own anyways.
I did the first half of Game 1 and 3 on Friday. I would have done the full games, but it really kills my battery. I'll have to remember to bring my portable charger next time.
I'm out of town and won't be at the games today.
