MGoPodcast 5.11: Scythian Empires

THE DAILY QUITS! NEWS AT 11

CHIRPILY POSITIVE BASKETBALL SECTION

This was before the UNC-Charlotte game, and therefore it is dated. Ace makes a really good point about how a lesser burden on Walton on offense makes his job in the 1-3-1—running the baseline—more feasible than it was with Burke, who had to hoard his energy. We do not talk about how both of those freshmen losing guys on switches is going to catch up with them soon, possibly as soon as 7:30 PM.

OFFENSE

Funchess implodes. Bad numbers. Bad everything. Feelings are bad.

DEFENSE

The usual script: good good good and then Henri The Otter Of Ennui at the end. Frank Clark had a game. Starting linebackers start for a reason.

TALKING BIG TEN WITH JAMIEMAC

Jamie puts an extra significant digit on all his stats. Discussion of getting on team X's level. Wherefore do we go now?
