A basketball roster needs exactly three moxie guys and the rest grit guys to win

I don't think you can have a lot of moxie guys. Okay. So I would say moxie guys three. Okay. Right. And the rest grit. Yeah. And then you're gonna win. I think that's right because If you have too many moxie guys. Everyone, there's only one ball.

This is a matter of coaching opinion and roster strategy.

The Chiefs will win over 11.5 games this season

I picked a little team called the Kansas City Chiefs to win over 11 and a half games. He got a good young quarterback I like and a tight end. Jason [Kelce's] brother played tight end and he's pretty good.

The Chiefs finished the 2024 season with a record of 15-2, easily clearing the over.

The Saints will win over 7.5 games this season

I had the Saints over seven and a half. I think they're not as bad as people think they are.

The Saints finished 9-8 in 2024, winning more than 7.5 games.

Caleb Williams having a fat ass is good for his power as a quarterback

Caleb Williams has aura. He's also got a fucking fat ass, which is good because that's the power to drive the football down the field. I want my quarterback to have a big ass drives the ball.

Big Cat's comment that Caleb Williams' 'fat ass' is good for quarterback power is a humorous subjective opinion, not a verifiable prediction.

You only need grit when you are competing, not 24/7

I think it's all about where you are... If you are between the lines in the Galen Center, you gotta have grit, you know, and then maybe tonight at the Manhattan Beach Pier, you don't really need the grit know. And so it's a, it's all about your environment and where you're at at the time. You know, but you don't need grit 24 7. Right. You just need it when you're competing.

This is a subjective coaching philosophy.

The March version of the 2021 Arkansas Razorbacks would beat the November version by 15 to 18 points.

This current Razorback team playing in March would probably beat our November Razorback team by about 15 to 18 is what I would roughly guess. We're more confident.

Arkansas went on a tear in late February/March, eventually reaching the Elite Eight in the 2021 NCAA Tournament, confirming they were at their peak.

The turnover battle is the most important factor for winning in basketball.

The number one thing for us offensively is don't turn the ball over. I love studying football coaches, and obviously in football, the turnover battle is such an important factor in wins and losses. In basketball, we want to try to have under nine turnovers in a 40-minute college game.

While turnovers are statistically significant, whether they are the 'number one' factor is a matter of coaching philosophy.
