(Part 2) Best products from r/CollegeBasketball

Here's the book on Amazon. It's a fun read, but pretty short. I bought it right after I met Mr. Elliot. He was awesome!

However 'tis the season for being nice to one another. If you'd like a copy of a pretty good book I can snag you a copy of this.

This was a great book that I got. From myself, admittedly, but still a good gift idea for those State fans on any of your lists

Similar in play style. 3rd person open environment type of deal.

I will warn you though, if you like the game, be prepared to spend 100+ hours in it. It's massive with a ton to do. Amazon has the complete edition for $40. That comes with both Xpacs and all the DLC.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I can't vouch for documentary but there is a book on the topic, Indentured, and it touches upon issues as they relate the 95% of college athletes that don't make it to the NBA or NFL, so there is a whole lot more to the issue - and a whole group of athletes beyond one and dones - that perhaps this documentary doesn't explore:

they seem to be trying to work out a solution for one and done last I read/heard. Still doesn't deal with the fact that people are literally becoming millionaires off these kids and like some of them say, they are not there to study at all and that's not the focus of their lives. Perhaps people don't have to become millionaires while the one who is actually providing and generating said millions might not even have enough money to get food when hungry. That's also an idea. I know someone who played in the Rose Bowl, he put it simply: You are a product and they are trying to extract as much as they can out of you.

You are a product.

It's plain and simple.

Wore my super awesome OSU hawaiian shirt today.


Went for a little run just a bit ago.

Have leftover thanksgiving food and beer. Let's go Pokes!

There is actually a device that is effectively that. Let me find a link.

So there's this thing that looks like a baster: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L4MJEC8/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And then there's this thing where you use your own suction: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00171WXII/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1551152724&sr=1-1

I've used both on my kiddo. The second works surprisingly well

Read Play Their Hearts Out but George Dohrmann, it is one of my favorite books and does an amazing job detailing the underworld of AAU. It is a little dated (about a decade) at this point but many of the flaws have only become worse.

Also about the relationship between statistical analyses and building narratives.

There's a super good book that breaks a lot of this down in detail: https://www.amazon.com/How-Not-Be-Wrong-Mathematical/dp/0143127535

I'm just happy DePaul made the list. #45, baby! (Oh, how the mighty have fallen).

Interestingly, they ranked DePaul at #24 here:

He actually wrote a book about his time at UK, i havent read it but i hear he is a great guy http://www.amazon.com/Living-beyond-Dream-Talented-Basketball/dp/1490871128

His book was enjoyable. He has a great sense of humor. I still won't let him near my sister.

Here’s an Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671735705/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_25jUCbWNFEY3B

Cheapest copy is $150 bucks. Would be amazing if a library had it or someone converted it to mp3.

Please take a red and/or yellow sweatband. Get your friends to get them, too. Here they are:

What makes the whole Dakich experience worse is he gets paired with Tirico.

Now, Tirico is fine as a play by play guy. But if you've read the ESPN book from 5 years ago he is the most sexist, slimy announcer on the channel.

And though that shouldn't matter, it does bother me. Maybe because I've got a teenage daughter and I view people that treat women like that through a different lens.

The book Floor Burns http://www.amazon.com/Floor-Burns-Inside-Kansas-Jayhawk/dp/0965839214 written by Jerod Haase and Mark Horvath. Great read.

Say what you want about the list. Better than the abomination that was the top ranking in this book

Jon Abrams just released a book too on the prep-to-pro generation in the NBA. Haven't read it yet but I've heard good things

Um so what college are you both going to?

Also who says belly laughs? Are you pregnant?

Got to go with the Floor Burns on this one.
