True. The point I was making about being the rightful heir is that he gave that up and doesn't necessarily get it back just because he died and came back.
He can be the KITN because that title was given to him after he came back. Any claim to being the rightful heir is murky because he gave up that title (without knowing it) when he joined.
Well... I've always considered Toyota's dark red to be maroon. Rarely going to find the exact color... I've got three toyotas that are all some shade close to maroon. As far as I'm concerned, they are all maroon (especially when I add some orange highlights & take them to football games).
I was sitting on the outdoor porch at Sharkey's. Major bummer of a result
I enjoyed this thoroughly
Did anyone else think that the barbershop one was going to be a fade route?
In which case Jaime would be the little brother to fulfill Cersei's prophesy as he would be her only brother.
it's red
Her impact on salaries for women's sports, for women's sports coaches being accepted, and their pay being so much better is imeasurable. She made 250.00 a month when she started, then became the first million dollar women's coach.
Her son was a college women's basketball coach, married. Who had numerous affairs with players and got one pregnant. You don't think something like that pained Pat? She was a great woman, to see her son do something like that to ruin his career, his marriage and his reputation.
Anybody else take note of the fact that the Camry is maroon?
One of the top 5 coaches of all time in all of sports. The impact she had on women's basketball can be compared to the impact Vince Lombardi had on the NFL. Rest easy, Pat. Condolences to her friends and family.
We have a pretty good idea where the coaches rated him. He got little PT when Motu & Huselscamp returned last yr and he wasn't getting much air time in coach conversations in the spring - not nearly what he was getting even last summer as a true frosh. Getting lots of coach mentions isn't necessarily cause for celebration, but not getting them is almost never good news.
Really?
And IIRC he was seen by many on chat boards as a disappointment his first 2 years.
Condolences to the Summitt family. By all accounts she was a fantastic person, coach, and mentor.
I was in the North, just inside the uprights. The ball was coming right for me, then it wasn't. Sigh.
I was in the very middle of the SE, upper deck. I knew it was a miss almost as soon as he kicked it... :-(
...what did I just watch?
which restaurant? which bakery?
Gotta love the expression on Jon's face during Lyanna Mormont's speech hahaha
Honestly I think her son being a POS killed her. Great woman, great coach, great leader.
My expectation is that their recruiting will be much worse than under the previous regime (when it wasn't as good as they thought it was anyway). Their player development will be much better under Bronco.
sounds like our average OL recruit in recent years.
I don't really get too hung up on stuff like that, but I actually think Iceland's small population is a huge benefit when it comes to identifying talent.
There's been plenty of articles about how Iceland have been building toward this for years by beefing up player development and investing in coaching. Per this excellent Guardian article from earlier this month (with a telling quote in hindsight):
Football, fire and ice: the inside story of Iceland's remarkable rise
The huge size of the US makes player scouting and development a massive undertaking. Yes, we have a much larger pool to choose from, but how many promising youngsters do we have that give up the sport before they're ever identified? In Iceland, kids as young as 5 or 6 are working with coaches who have some of the best qualifications in the sport. That's not only a big advantage, but it allows them to identify talent far earlier in the development process.
Point being, we have a much different challenge than Iceland to becoming world class. Yes, we probably have a much higher ceiling, but inherent geographical challenges might make our road a little longer. The best thing that can happen for the game in the US is for more professional clubs to sprout up and open academies. That would hopefully mean more coaches with proper training, as opposed to mom & pop coached rec leagues. With more qualified individuals coaching the game, talent evaluation becomes less of a needle in the haystack operation.
