  1. 7’2” Maluach, ZERO rebounds and one block. Only 10 bench points combined for both teams.
  2. Agree on the McLaren pussy-strategy. Let Oscar have a shot. Lando is very good but, he hasn’t won shit, yet. Masterful weekend for Max. I enjoy Villeneuve as an announcer. He doesn’t go for theatrics he just calmly describes things. He mentioned during qualifying that Max just works on the car the whole weekend and then it comes together. Ferrari could have saved $446,000,000 by putting someone other than Hamilton in that seat if all he is going to do is hang around seventh-place all season, 10 seconds behind the kid who took his seat. This is nowhere similar to Ferrari hiring Michael Schumacher to fix their shit show. Listening to Hamilton bitch on the radio with the paisan is never not funny. Does Lance Stroll have to give back his salary to Daddy Stroll to somehow justify him still being in F1. It’s also time for Alonso to exit stage right. Yuki did, ok to eh, but no points at his home race. I do look forward to seeing the continuing battle between Lawson and Yuki. It’d be cool if Lawson settles in and starts to do well.
  3. Flagg hit a two-pointer at 10:31 to put Duke up, 45-58 Their only other basket was again Flagg, a three-pointer at 3:03 to put them up, 55-64. Go look at the play-by-play. It looks like they only got two other shots up the final three minutes of the game. I could be wrong but, even if I am the Houston defense is just relentless. That’s why I said before the tournament that I thought they really had a great chance to win, and that they reminded me of those old Georgetown teams that would just wear you down. Just fun to watch.
  4. Houston slaughtered them on the boards down the stretch. Duke’s largest lead was 14 points. Houston’s was 3 point. The final score, 70-67
  5. That really was one for the ages.
  6. Fucking wow! Just fucking wow.
  7. Duke has scored 8 points more from FTs
  8. So far the difference is from the FT line
  9. Nice kick save by the goalie there
  10. A lot of contact there but, no foul
  11. These guys and their “hot takes”
  12. Jesus H Christ Gene Sterratore. I hate him/
  13. German cousin’s boy played for Duke. I was there for the Pitt @ Duke soccer game. I told Pitt that I wasn’t going to the football game that weekend (I work in the radio booth for football) and that I was going to see Pitt play Duke. His little brother is the one who plays for St. Louis and the reason I might come down to Houston the end of June when Mikey plays at Houston. Halfway down on the ride the boy calls and says, “It’s Senior Night. Did you bring your Duke Soccer hat? Will you walk with me? But you can’t wear your Pitt stuff.” To which I replied, “no, I’m coming down for the PITT at Duke game. If you want me to walk you have to buy me a new hat”. Which he did. So, in the stands before the game I took off all my Pitt gear and got the new hat and walked on to the field. All of Pete’s roomies were teammates, one, Pete Stroud, plays for New York RedBulls and they all knew me and knew I am a Pitt grad. So they were all giving me the business. Even the coach commented to me “thanks for coming, etc” and I replied, “this is tough”, he said, “yeah, Senior Night is tough”, I replied, “no, I’m a Pitt grad”. And we had a good laugh. They had a cookout for the team after the game, which ended 1-1, with Duke of course benefitting from a no-call on a handball in front of goal. After the game, after giving the Pitt team some high fives and good wishes, I went to the Washington Duke Inn which is across the street from the fields and changed into an Auburn sweatshirt which I figured was pretty non-offensive. As I lined up for some food a Duke Mother came to me and said, “I’m glad to see you changed into a different shirt”. I replied, “ma’am, this is not my school. And something tells me this is NOT your school. I will take ribbing from the boys, but not from a parent and I don’t apologize for being loyal to my school.” To which she walked away. Fuck her. I do enjoy going down there for games. Mostly I go when we play them in football. The Washington Duke Inn is extremely nice. Has a very nice golf course as well. I don’t root for Duke, unless they would be playing Notre Dame, PSU or WVU. Otherwise, fuck them.
  14. I'm rooting for Houston. We lived in Houston. My father worked at MD Anderson and I do not like Duke, even though I walked on Senior Night for Duke Soccer a few years back. Go Cougars.
  15. Dude is goofy but, he wears his emotion for AU for everyone to see and apologizes to nobody.
  16. You are correct. Tough loss. They were #1 all season and I think they ran out of steam, emotionally & physically. It happened to our Pitt gals volleyball this season. I think that weight wore on them and did the same to AU tonight. Both lost in the semifinal. Florida was better down the stretch this season. Very nice first half tonight and then Florida really turned on the heat in the second. They deserved to win for sure. Broome was very much not 100% and nor was CBM but, that’s how the season goes. I said for a couple months that Cardwell was the key. If they got more from him that would free up Broome. Cardwell delivered double what he normally gets but they needed more. Love him but, offensively he is not top-tier. Clayton was amazing.
  17. I'm almost too nervous to watch. War Eagle
  18. Depends who does the starting, I reckon if it is Stroll, then his eternal banishment should be discussed.
  19. I think, and I agree with you, that by the halfway point of the season that the Mercedes will be solidly the second-best car. Where Max fits in the group remains to be seen. If they can get the front end figured out I think Max can make another run. I think it will be a lot of fun.
