Men’s bball- next 2 games

Define success for these next two killer games.

Do we have to split them? Personally, I would just like to be very competitive in one of them. I suspect the game is going to get away from us in the Tenn road environment.

This team has grown a lot and has a lot more room to grow. If we keep on this trajectory I think we will peak at the right time and can beat anybody down the stretch. I’m just not convinced we are there yet. My 15 year old son, on the other hand, is so bought in that anything less than 2 upsets will be a disappointment.

NEW STORY Peach State Priorities - Breaking down Georgia's in-state targets in the 2026 class

I'm going to pin this series as well like we did with the 2026 Big Board. I figured this would be helpful for all of us (including me) to help get to know this 2026 class a bit as we turn the focus there.

Reactions: easychair

Listened to Andy McCarty and talked to former Federal Prosecutor on J6 Pardons

Friend of mine is a retired Federal Prosecutor, talked to him this weekend after listening to Andy McCarty (retired US Attorney General from NY) on a podcast realted to J6 Pardons.

Both had pretty much same takes:

  • 98% if not all were over-charged most of which would get overturned on appeal (sedition part)
  • over 500were charged for offenses that are normally not prosecuted (trespassing and related)
  • Too much resources were allocated to charge the minor offenses (resources were being pulled from everywhere to concentrate on J6 investigations)
  • Anyone charged was done, they had handpicked the Judges to hear the cases and no way they were going to get a fair shake with a DC Jury
  • Suspects charged were getting the top tiered heat from Feds - raids, heavy pressure to plead, going after licenses and related
  • Both felt the Trump team should have pulled aside the most egregious offenses (50 or so) and given them reduced sentences / time served VS Full Pardons
  • In most every case they reviewed the maximum sentence was given and this is almost NEVER done in the DC district

They did not get into a case by case basis but both had reviewed many of the charges and compared to normal sentencing guidelines. Nothing earthshattering above but falls in line with what most of us suspected.

We will know by Friday, January 24, 2025 how Trump's presidency is going to go

If the Jan 6th Defendants are not all pardoned by that date, then Trump has learned nothing about power or about his enemies.

I am optimistic about Trump's upcoming rule but people need to understand it is the last opportunity to turn this car around, whether or not Trump pardons the Jan6 Defendants will be the sign as to whether the car is getting turned around or if we are just going to pull the car over at a rest stop before careening off the cliff in 2028.
