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.

Big Ben Roethlisberger taking a pay cut is the ultimate 'hero ball' move.

This might be my favorite Big Ben move ever because he took a pay cut... He signed a big money contract knowing he was going to get paid like $40 million when he was very old... And now he's hero ball, going to take a pay cut on the contract that he signed to get paid a ton of money when he was really old.

The evaluation of Roethlisberger's character and intent is subjective.

Steelers fans should not be excited about Big Ben Roethlisberger returning for another year.

If I was a Steelers fan, I would not be super thrilled about another year of Big Ben.

The 2021 season was Roethlisberger's last; he threw for 22 TDs and 10 INTs as the Steelers went 9-7-1 and were blown out in the Wild Card round.

The NFL salary cap doesn't actually matter.

Basically, [the salary cap] doesn't matter... teams will go from under $20 million over the cap to magically, oh, they have a bunch of cap space.

While it's a hard cap, restructures and 'void years' make it extremely flexible, supporting the spirit of the take.

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.

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 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.
