Let me help everyone out with the grammatical conundrum of dickslap v. dick slap.
As the holder of an esteemed and prized BA degree in English from the vaunted ivory tower that is SDSU, I feel I'm qualified.
Most compound nouns start off as two words. However, as they begin to be used more and more and eventually become standard in the English language, they morph into a single word, e.g., crosswalk, boardwalk, waterfront, timeshare, hilltop, etc., etc.
I'm not sure dick slap is so commonly used that it could be spelled with assurance as one word. So, as of now, and for those who worry about such things, I would refrain.
However, at the end of this season, after SDSU has dickslapped UNLV twice in the regular season and possibly once in the MGC Tourney, I think it would be grammatically appropriate to designate dickslap as its own single word.

I think Rebelblubber is silent because, among other things, Sagarin has the Aztecs ranked #44; Rebels at #91. Hell,, even the LowBlows are at #48. So despite all of his histrionics, there's no disputing a scientific poll versus nonsensical rhetoric. That's what a 5th grade education will do for you. Let's hope Rebelblubber uses condoms. Not that he could figure out the process. Hey guys!How about those Rebels beating a ranked Indiana today? Did you want to discuss the game and talk basketball or should I just come back after your Cal game tomorrow? Rebelblubber, are you unable to keep up with reality? Sagarin has already dropped Indiana out of the top 25. In fact, so impressed with your win over the hapless Hoosiers, you've moved all the way up to #74. BTW, SDSU is #42, so I guess not everyone shares your opinion about the effects of a bad loss. I wish you had continued your education beyond 5th grade so as to keep up with the rest of us. Please, please, please, use a condom.

Kenpom is an absolute joke, by that logic Indiana should have wiped the floor with UNLV.

Kenpom is very good imo but it no doubt has faults, MOV has proven to be a very important indicator of future results in all sports which is where Kenpom mostly differentiates from RPI.
The problem with kenpom right now is it is using there pre-season projections (which are very simple and they themself have little confidence in right now, but they do need a baseline) for a lot of there team ranking data. With more games played it will have more and more relevance there game predictions and where the teams rank. And of course kenpom isn't going to have 100% accuracy in games, no one could, but they actually have proven to be very close to vegas spread lines over the years. And it's not like kenpom gave unlv a 2% chance of winning and they won by 30.

Of course, that's probably a few standard deviations away from the central tendency if I had to guess.

Here's one that I never could figure out ltb, is it fan base, or fanbase? As a holder of a history degree, I'll await your English expertise You can go either way, but I'd lean toward a single word: fanbase. Here's a good explanation from Mirriam-Webster: Compounds A compound is a word or word group that consists of two or more parts that work together as a unit to express a specific concept. Compounds can be formed by combining two or more words (as in double–check, cost–effective, farmhouse, graphic equalizers, park bench, around–the–clock, or son of a gun), by combining prefixes or suffixes with words (as in ex–president, shoeless, presorted, or uninterruptedly), or by combining two or more word elements (as in macrophage or photochromism). Compounds are written in one of three ways: solid (as in cottonmouth), hyphenated (screenwriter–director), or open (health care). Because of the variety of standard practice, the choice among the styles for a given compound represents one of the most common and vexing of all style issues writers encounter. Compounds in the Dictionary A good dictionary will list many permanent compounds, compounds so commonly used that they have become permanent parts of the language. However, a dictionary generally will not list temporary compounds, those created to meet a writer's need at a particular moment. Most compounds whose meanings are self–evident from the meanings of their component words also will not be listed in the dictionary, even if they are permanent and widely used. The Compound–styling Conundrum When compounds begin to be used widely, there may be significant variation in how writers style them, and it can take years to achieve a high degree of consistency in their format. For many terms, it is often completely acceptable to choose freely among open, hyphenated, and closed alternatives, even though the term has been used in English for an extended period (for instance, lifestyle, life–style, or life style). Although the styling that ultimately takes hold for a compound may be determined by nothing more than editorial preference, there is one pattern that often holds true as new compounds become entrenched in English. Compound nouns are usually written as one word, compound verbs are generally written as two, and compound adjectives are very often written with a hyphen.

Maybe next you can break down what a predicate nominative is. Or not. I do applaud your uni for some of the research being done.... for instance go.sdsu.edu/sdsu_newscenter/news_story.aspx?sid=75918Maybe this could help your front court figure things out?

I keep coming back to learn from you, but somehow I feel like I'm reaping a field that was never sowed. Why move away from basketball and into any number of fields that have escaped your range as a matter of genetics? Stay in your lane, beeotch. This was always about basketball - but you keep trying to make it personal. Challenge just for you AZDICKFACE! Let's post our real names and most advanced degree for everybody to see..... High card buys tickets to the MW conference. I have a Master's and 28 towards an Ed.d - so I think I'm probably good. But if not - why don't you accept my donation for a pack of sharpies and an endowment of cardboard boxes so you can get on with the inevitability of your life.
