There are too many dogs in the city.
The Sun Times is now a better paper than the Tribune.

I don't get the hype over Lincoln Square.
DEVO was a brilliant band way ahead of their time.
Dolan is only needed if Dawson is injured again.

This could be a fun format for laughs and insights. Please try to keep the same format with contributions.

My opinions of JCT's opinions:

1. No opinion on DePaul coeds.
2. The Tribune hasn't been good in over twenty-five years. The Sun Times has never been good.
3. Agree on Tom Welch.
4. Lincoln Square died when The Chicago Brauhaus closed.
5. What is DEVO?
6. Agree on Dawson.

Welch and Edwards need to play more than Mwamba and Dolan.

Team plays better without Alston as the focal point and getting huge minutes.

Team needs to Norris playing off the ball more to hit shots. If he makes them, ride him during the game. If not, he should sit as he is a bit of a liability at this point.

Schweiger should be back in the rotation.

Schweiger is still getting beat like a drum on defense during the minutes I've seen him play. I liked watching him a lot last year but if we've got guys who can stay in front of their man better then I get why he's at the end of the bench. I guess this is my unpopular opinion.

I don't think this is actually that unpopular but I think we're giving the wrong Ivy guy minutes. Adelekun has half the minutes Dolan does as of this post. I wish those totals were closer.

I guess it's unpopular to say I like Dolan. His 3P shooting and lack of turnovers are a big help.

We will have a top 75 defense by the end of the year. Opponent 3P% and FT% luck will run out, and we will get better at generating turnovers.

The music at Gentile isn't loud enough.

Coach Valentine’s positives still outweigh his negatives as a young coach, and that ratio will only improve

Mary is the real villain in It’s a Wonderful Life, which is not a Christmas movie

A top 8 finish in the A10 this year will still position us better for the future than winning the regular season MVC but losing the tournament would’ve .

Christmas sucks, except for listening to the Pogues' Fairytale of New York, the greatest Christmas song of all time.

RIP Shane MacGowan.
