Off Topic - Any Panther fans that USED to be NCAA BB fans?

Just wondering if I am alone. I used to love watching college hoops.  I used to watch a couple games a week and was all over the tournament.

 

I could care less now. Players are in and out so fast, it just seems like a waste of time to learn about anyone until they hit the NBA. 

 

Anyone else?

I used to enjoy it a whole lot more back in the late 80's/early 90's when I was really into it because you actually got to follow a team and watch as the players grew. Now, it's mostly a one, maybe 2, and done and move on to the NBA. There's really no point to following a college bb team anymore.

Ya I LOVE playing pickup games with guys that are 6'7" and can drain every jumper. 

I love playing for cardio but it is impossible when you can't stay on the court.

For a variety of reasons, the quality of the NCAA game has really declined relative to the NBA over the last couple of decades.  I used to follow it very closely but now I pretty much just follow the NBA.  Once you watch a lot of NBA games trying to watch NCAA basketball is pretty painful.

Used to be the opposite.

Yup.  I never really played basketball, but I grew up playing baseball.  fug that, I should have played soccer.  That definitely would have been my thing.  Feel like with my endurance and aggression I could have been a good RB

    • Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess. 
    • There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
