  1. Gin and soda man on occasion. Detest cucumber, licorice and tonic. Tanqueray Ok but surely something better out there. Hate Hendricks and Sapphire. Help a man out here.
  2. Hopefully UCLA beats them by 50.
  3. Take a look at the teams that make Sweet Sixteen and you will usually see a ton of that.
  4. Give me some offense. Real offense, not this AAU street ball bullshit that breaks down in the tourney. Going to be really hard to win anything with 52-50 type scores anymore.
  5. Me too. You can fix a bad roster with a couple of guys in one class in basketball. Besides I just dont think Texas has nearly the allure we think it does for some hot shit guy.
  6. This. Getting beat is different than totally laying a turd. Lots of small schools have some ballers.
  7. Take your horses out of the game by playing slow, then dribble all day and throw up a brick from behind the line. Oh and throw the ball away about every third trip down the floor. Then hope for a call at the end. Its the only way.
  8. Zero tournament wins in 6 years for about 20mm in salary. No I dont think he will do worse at Texas with a new arena coming, NBA rep, and the support of big time former players. Everybody thought Shaka was a sure thing and it has been a disaster.
  9. I would be good with Sampson. The man can get it done. His NCAA history is fucking quaint when you realize how dirty basketball recruiting really is. You know its bad when even the saintly Coach K is in on it. I would be good with Royal Ivey if he wanted it. Sack up and roll the dice. Could he be any worse?
  10. Been watching Porter Moser up close for years and he is a basketball GOD. Man that team just executes half court offense to perfection. Plus people love him up here and by all accounts a good dude. I just watched them dismantle a true national championship contender without breaking a sweat and it wasnt lucky. Never gonna happen unfortunately as he is definitely a Midwest guy.
  11. Over the last few years since Parcells the Cowboys have wasted some elite rosters with bad coaching. This roster isnt even elite but with McCarthy coaching it wont matter. Hes a meathead. Dak is good enough to do some damage if the team is a contender but that defense is dogshit and he cant fix that. Going to score some points though if he is upright. As for his cap hit a lot of buzz that the cap is about to explode so probably not that big a deal for an NFL starter.
  12. My favorite demonstration of Texas offensive thunder was 2005 leading Kansas 52-0 at half while Vince Young had minus 4 yards rushing. Thats a beatdown.
  13. KU is going to have to overpay some 26 year old offensive whiz kid who can maybe scheme them to a couple of wins without killing his own career. They did the retread deal and it didn't work. What a dumpster fire.
  14. No Bryson fan but it took some huge balls to go for it on 6 on top of a bunched leaderboard on Sunday. I like watching that shit. Spieth has turned a corner. He isnt as wild with driver, hits a lot of really sweet irons, and is starting to roll it. Burned a few edges today in really tough conditions. Probably only needs to be about average with driver at this point to contend.
  15. Guess I cant wear my North Face shit to the office. Sucks because its still winter.
  16. Rangers only team in MLB history to be one strike away from winning it all. And they did it twice. No getting over that one especially with no real hope on the horizon. Still think if we had LaRussa instead of R Wash, Rangers win in five.
  17. They can say whatever they want but when they dumped Yu Darvish for prospects instead of waiting until the trade deadline you know its a rebuild. Everyone from the 2016 will be outta here save one or two guys. This team will be lucky to get to 75 wins. Bryant has never recovered from that shoulder injury. No power and no durability. Too bad he was a star. Wont ever play more than 130 games a year. Contreras looks like a roid guy to me so I sell high on him. Baez inconsistent but probably stays. Would only sign Rizzo to team friendly deal which he probably shouldn't do. Cubs had a helluva run but its over now. They are going to tear it all down as they should.
  18. Screenplay by Coppola before he became kind of a big deal.
  19. Went to France in 2010 and made a special trip to Normandy. Its a must see. The American Cemetery at Omaha is a hauntingly beautiful place. I was pretty good until the guide mentioned that all grave markers face West, to the United States.
  20. Love Massachusetts being all Nanny State. This is the same state that barred residents from buying AAPL in the IPO in 1980 as too risky.
  21. As for BOB, my teenage kids were talking at dinner one night about various political views among their peers such as kneeling during the anthem and not saying the pledge etc. I thought it important to remind them that although we live in a country where people should be free to think and do such things, that right was bought by good people who died for their country. So we are watching BOB because in my view WWII was truly an epic struggle of good vs. evil and thankfully good won, this time. A timely history lesson for them.
  22. My step dad was in the Pacific. He was married at the time and his wife got word that his ship, the USS Quincy, was sunk at Guadalcanal with 370 dead. News blackouts being in place at the time she found out a bit later he had been transferred to another ship before they set out. Then he was at D Day Iwo Jima. Pretty sure he was in shore party heading right for the main landing strip at Iwo. 4 of 14 KIA. Then later involved in battle of Okinawa, when the kamikazes really started. Was in middle of Pacific and wrote letter to his wife and two sons saying he would never see them again because they were preparing for invasion of Japan. Then we dropped the bomb. His crew called him the Old Man. Out of Navy in December 1945 at age 26. These guys were YOUNG. He didnt say a lot about it but I knew enough. Said the kamikazes at Okinawa were scarier than Iwo. When he died we went through his personal effects. I have a big Iwo Jima G-2 situation map that he took ashore on my wall, with the ships orders of the day as provenance. Look at it every day and think about what those men went through and I am thankful.
  23. Thought Baalke and Harbaugh were at odds in SF. Then again Harbaugh seems to piss off everybody by Year 5. Urban needs to get as many NFL guys on staff as possible. Jax has more capital than anyone for building a team. Its really going to come down to drafting well [Trevor Lawrence better be as advertised]
  24. Dont people think Campbell has a real shot at UMich? Figure this is the swan song for Harbaugh so ISU guys may only have another year.
