OT: Hot investment tip ITT.

Ok, I think I'm done talking about basketball this year. Unless we make an SECT run. It just makes me too discouraged. So instead, how about we circle back around to a discussion last week on cryptocurrency. We were all enthralled with JimmyChaf's Bitcoin purchase and fight against an evil Polish hacker. But during that thread, someone mentioned Ethereum/Ether, which is a different kind of cryptocurrency.

I researched it a bit and it actually seems to be superior to Bitcoin. It was trading at about $13, so I bought some last week. It is now up to almost $19. Within that week, there were a few big announcements"

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/27/...-alliance-business-banking-security.html?_r=0

"Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase and other corporate giants are joining forces to create a new kind of computing system based on the virtual currency network Ethereum.​
Some 30 companies are set to announce on Tuesday the formation of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, which will create a standard version of the Ethereum software that businesses around the world can use to track data and financial contracts."​
Then, during the announcement of the Ethereum Alliance on Tuesday, Vivek Kohli of Bank of New York Mellon said: "We are a bank. We would never use Bitcoin." The implication being they WOULD use Ethereum.

I really think big things are ahead for ETH. There's a chance that all crypto crashes a bit if the Bitcoin ETF isn't approved on the 11th. But the more research I do on Ethereum, the more it looks sustainable and like it might be the next big thing. Anyway, maybe I end up being wrong because I don't really know what I'm talking about. But for anyone who is interested, you might want to take a look at it. It is under $19 right now, and plenty of smart people think $50-$100 by the end of the year is possible. And the more hopeful/optimistic think it could surpass Bitcoin over the next 2-3 years (a combination of BTC moving down and ETH moving up). It is at least worth a flyer.

For those that fly out of ATL regularly, how hard/easy is parking in the domestic deck now that they have closed other parking for construction?

I used to always park in the little lot near baggage claim that was a little known gem that always had plenty of spaces and you walked right out of baggage claim into that lot. However, construction did away with that lot 3-4 years ago so, I started parking in the deck to avoid the park and ride stuff. I have not flown out of ATL this calendar year yet, but understand parking in the deck has become overly difficult because of the closing of more lots for construction. Any parking tips on the domestic/South end would be appreciated.

HOOPS Bruce Pearl quick notes

We're talking to Bruce as he previews the Maui trip
  • Opens up by saying he had Marlene research the amount of SEC teams that have won in Maui and it's only been two. He mentioned that the ACC has won 11 and Big Ten 8 times.
  • "The way I look at it is we have the chance to play three great teams at a neutral site and find out where we're at but also help out our NCAA Tournament resume."
  • Talking about Iowa State's defense, he mentioned that its backcourt is probably the best defensive backcourt in the country.
  • More on Iowa State: "Being able to score against that defense - and the second thing is transition... those are going to be a couple of our biggest challenges."
  • "Our bracket with Iowa State, North Carolina and Dayton is a great bracket." Mentioned that it's a opportunity to play some of the best teams in country but also it is two of the best teams in the country playing in the first round.
  • He also noted that they've compared this path to the 2019 Final 4 run
  • Pearl said that Jahki Howard and Ja'Heim Hudson are traveling and available to play
  • On JP Pegues: "JP is super solid. I think he's better than he thinks he is sometimes... if he can see it, he can shoot it. I'd like to see him get more open looks."
  • Pearl on what his offense has done well: "I think we've shot it pretty well. I think we've been a good inside-out team."
  • Pearl said that they could do a better job of getting to the line
  • "Mike Burgomaster has done a great job as our offensive coordinator."
  • On his guys passing up a good shot for a great one at times: "That's the chemistry, that's the culture, that's the leadership... our guys recognize that playing great basketball is taking a shot when you're open but also making the right pass."
  • Pearl said that Auburn's depth will help it a lot in these back-to-back-to-back games. "Our depth should continue to help us."
That's all for BP

I wanted to get an offseason thread going so we can keep track of all the potential moves and deals that will be made. We can use this thread to consolidate all the information.

We have all made some of our offseason move preferences.

So with that said, Team Harper checking in!

Who called Broome early as a huge get and who called Thorne early as a huge get in their portal recruiting process?

I batted 50% on this question. U could go back on my posts and I was calling for Broome to be the man after he almost beat that great Murray State team by himself in Morehead State/Murray State OVC tournament finals. Believe Doc was also pounding the table for Broome. I also posted that Thorne was a must get the first day he hit the portal. Won’t call out any names but there were others begging for that commitment also. Oh well..

Nikki Haley is not just a bad loser...

... she's also a spiteful bitch. John Bolton in a dress.

'She's defended Russia. She's defended Syria. She's defended Iran, and she's defended China,' Haley said.

'Now she has not denounced any of these views. None of them. She hasn't taken one of them back,' the former UN ambassador continued in her blistering takedown of Gabbard.

Haley said DNI is not a place for a 'Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese sympathizer.'





The former governor also noted there will be a lot of issues with getting Trump's pick for Attorney General Matt Gaetz confirmed.

It comes after the former Florida congressman faced a House Ethics Committee investigation into alleged sexual misconduct with a minor and illicit drug use. A fight is brewing over whether it will release its findings.

'The AG is the chief law enforcement officer,' she said. 'He has the right to defend himself, but it's hard to start a confirmation when you have allegations of illicit drug use and sex parties with minors.'

She said the same goes for Trump's defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth who is accused of sexual assault.

'He's going to have to answer to that,' she said.



----- You can go the fvck away now, Nikki.
