***OFFICIAL 2024-25 WINS PREDICTION THREAD + PLAYOFFS PREDICTION***

[FNG]

Was Lip KATs Dad? Super Sus-

-Leaves board right after KAT traded
-Said he had season tickets "right in front" of KATs Dad
-Said "family member" died from Covid
-Routinely defended KAT for the most part? I think so....

Thoughts? Too much smoke.

Love the intrigue, WF, and you present an interesting case!

But as the only poster here who has actually met Lip (my gal and I ran into him and his lovely wife in Vegas during the "Naz Reid" Summer League"), I can verify that he is not KAT's dad! He's a knowledgeable and true Wolves fan who has been a valuable member of this board, and he posted just 5 days ago. I suspect he's probably busy with his job, and will be more active soon.

Are you KATs Dads friend?

I figured someone maybe met Lip at some point. I believe you. The coincidences seemed really odd to me though. Maybe you are KATs Dads friend. lol

I'm busted !

[Q-is-here]

To further put a pin in the theory - and the coincidences are there I must say! - Lipoli was an active member of the various iterations of this board dating back many years and had season tickets before KAT was even drafted. Anyone remember Lip's game reports? Those existed before the KAT years and then went on a while longer after that.

Having said all that, we do miss Lip's contributions, as he has historically been one of the most active members and has always been super respectful. He helped set the tone for this board and its predecessors. But life happens! We'll take what we can get from him.

That's what I was wondering if he was "here" in pre-KAT say 2014 and prior. I didn't know, just the more recent stuff. I do miss his contributions also. Was looking forward to his thoughts on the team recently.

One of the best posters we've had and one of the main reasons this board has always been civil. Looking forward to his continued contributions.

Ha, yes, this may be your year! I have asked Tim to send the winner a custom Midwest Volleyball Tee-shirt to show off to family and friends, so be prepared to tell him your size.

That 49-50 range looks pretty good to me
