grrr, another 1 game loss. 6-5. but i guess in the long run, the challenge doesn't mean that much being so early in the season. just a good way to get your teams toughened up. we'll see what happens in march :)

I'm very upset that I needed Duke to win to keep the conference pride. It pained me to have to kind of root for them lol. And I was very satisfied with the UNC game considering what they lost. If it wasn't for the darn 3 pointer (or numerous turnovers in crunch time lol) I think they could've pulled that out. Good challenge this year. Most of the games were close and exciting.

How 'bout the Heels? :D :D

good game so far. i guess we're gonna see unc in the rankings pretty soon.

Actually I hope they don't get too high. I'd rather remain underestimated than over. Flying under the radar a bit is always better. NEXT year is going to be our year to be back in the big time. Williams has already recruited what many consider the best 2006 class.

I didnt get a chance to talk about my boys because I was at my schools football game yesterday. Go Apps baby!

How about the Devil Blue massacring Texas? I wish I could have seen the game. After the way they played against Indiana and VT I was expecting a loss, but when my dad got the score for me and told me the score, I was like hot damn.

:D Haha that Duke game was great, Redick just shot the lights out...and I think Texas was a bit overwhelmed. I think they might have been reading too many papers that said Duke was going to have a really hard timeor get beat and they expected the game to be almost easy..... well it was, just not for Texas :whistle:

Wow, not a lot of activity in here lately.

Anyway, what did everyone think of the #4 Memphis against #8 Gonzaga game? I think Gonzaga is overrated in their poll rankings.

Probably won't be a flurry of posting until the tourney.

I liked Gonzaga more when they were underdogs. I'm surprised Morrison disappeared for the final ten minutes of that game.

When Memphis put a freshman on Morrison, I figured he'd excel. So much for that. The 6'9" shut him down! I think that just goes to prove the Morrison hype on ESPN is far too early.

Florida is still flying under the radar. #5 in the nation and very little press. I like it like that. It means there will be no ego issues going into the SEC season. It is actually possible they could go undefeated this year.

Of course they could. They only play 1 ranked opponent (as of now) all year.

Thats a low shot since you should know that the SEC season is one of the toughest. UF's real test starts in a couple of weeks. I have never seen anyone complain about Florida's strength of schedule.

And we have played 2 ranked teams, both of which we beat. It doesn't mean they are both ranked now, but they sure were when we played them.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not downplaying Florida. I realize they're a great team, I'm just pointing out that they do have a shot to run the table because they only play one more ranked opponent.

Woot! UConn lost to Marquette with Steve Novak's 41 pt. performance against the #2 ranked team in the country. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Texas for knocking off Memphis. #2 and #4 are moving down, and the Illini are moving up!

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
