Yes, I do and there are hordes of people that either do not get it or just ignore the obvious. Of course, none of those are MBMs in this board.

Old guy Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 It is really interesting to observe the reactions to a plain statement of obvious truth. This happens everywhere and in every area of discussion. Some people cannot even tolerate opinion, presented as opinion, that goes counter to their beliefs. I am not making this up, go get a copy of Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow." Sorry, it is not an easy read. Kahneman got the 2002 Nobel Prize in economics for his work in behavioral economics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is more likely to get you depressed or even really mad, but hey that is not my fault. I really mean this, get a copy of Kahneman's book and read it, it is not a page turner but you will learn a lot that is valuable from it.

VeniceMenace Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Need an ESPN College Gameday style show in front of Chaifetz for every home game. Guys at the desk should be Old Guy with his patented hot takes, Billiken Roy "Travis needs to use every player, full court press, run and gun the entire game" and Triangle and Too "Triangle bets that Too could get excited toonight (no, probably toomorrow) about this game...and so it goes..." Pathetic student body would be all over this, acting crazy in the background behind these guys...sellouts every night.

slu72 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 A blast from the past; Triangle and Too! Kind of miss him and his sure thing take it to the bank revelations , eg Brian Gregory is our new HC. Not that he was that accurate but that never stopped him from taking posting his wild ass guesses. Does anyone else think he still posts here but under a new moniker? Back in the day you couldn’t shut him up. Hard to figure he just quit cold turkey. VeniceMenace and BilliesBy40 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
