Mayo, is John Calipari a better coach than Rick Pitino or Adolph Rupp? Was John Wooden a better coach than Kryzewski at Duke?

Better basketball state, Kentucky or Indiana?

Approximately 21.682%. I'm not at all a Libertarian. I like government. I like safety nets. I'd like single payer healthcare. I'd like the government to pay for college tuition. These ideas are antithetical to the Libertarian view.

I think that Calipari is definitely better than Pitino as a modern era coach, which is basically all about recruiting. Pitino might be a better in game coach, but that's a lot less important than getting all the best recruits to join the team in the first place.

As far as Rupp and Wooden vs. the modern guys, the job was completely different back in the day and you can't compare them at all imo.

It's Kentucky, obviously. Indiana is all smug because Hoosiers was set there. BFD. The story of Hoosiers is the story of a small school winning the state championship, but that's not even possible in Indiana anymore. They have divided up their schools into different classes, so that Hickory High doesn't even get the chance to have their Cinderella season. Kentucky is one of the only states that still has all of their basketball teams play in one tournament, which leads to the Sweet Sixteen every year in Rupp Arena, which is awesome.

Also, in point of fact, Indiana University's basketball team is horrible, and that is funny.

Would you take another swing at these two questions for me please?

Clint for President.

Sure.

I said this in August. I still kinda sorta stand by it, but replace "has no chance" with "still probably an underdog." In August, I'd've put his chances at winning the nomination at 1% or so, and now I'd put them at 20% or so. But a more honest prognostication would be that I just don't know. The August post was me dismissing Trump as a fad, which was clearly wrong. I obviously don't have a great handle on the GOP electorate and what makes them tick, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Plenty of pundits (like Nate Silver) are now saying that as candidates drop out, support will coalesce around a non-Trump candidate, most likely Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz. That could very well happen, but I don't think it's as much as a lock as the Nate Silver crowd. Here's a recent post in politards explaining my thinking in some detail:

Who the hell knows.

Pretty much agree with your take now, and also back in August. He should not have lasted this long. I'm not sure what it means, but I'm afraid it's significant, and it's disturbing.

Do you think Skal turns it around this year?

What will the Harrisons legacy be?

Think this is Pitino's last year?

Mayo,

Should I fight for it or should I let it go?

Mayo, who's right, John and Poppa or Bruce and micro?

edit:

T/F?

He'll turn it around, of course.

Harrisons: great college players. They'll be beloved in KY for years.

Doubt it's Pitino's last year, but who knows. **** him.

Let it go. Life's too short.

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce is right. In both cases. This is obvious.

Your questions itt have been pretty good. Not great, but pretty good. But over in the politics forum, Da.vid Sklan.sky is asking the real questions:

Y'all need to step your game up.

Mayo, if in fact it stopped some terrorists (overall) if governments let it be known that dead terrorists would be buried in pigs blood, would this be an insufficient reason to do it, as many argue about torture, or is it OK?

Have you been to any SPRINGSTEEN concerts lately?

Insufficient.

Yes.

Mayo,

I have nightmares of TRUMP chasing me with an ax. His whole body is made of cheese and he keeps yelling "Build the wall!" What does this mean?

Thoughts?

No bet, obviously. DS wouldn't make the offer unless it's a freeroll for him.

Jordan vs. LeBron: who would be a better sumo wrestler?

Depends on which year.

Mayo, will Trump change this border children policy that's drawing so much media heat?
Also where will Kawhi Leonard end up once my Spurs trade him? Draft is tomorrow night I think.
