  1. I jinxed him.
  2. Holy Cow, falling into it. Good for Byron not getting clobbered.
  3. I wouldn’t mind seeing Cindric get the win
  4. I pull for Blaney these days. I knew his grandfather when he was racing on dirt. He was a big help to me in my early writing career. Lou Blaney was one of the best. Ryan’s dad, Dave, and his uncle Dale, were fantastic Sprint Car drivers. Dave was very successful on the World of Outlaws tour. I knew Ryan, just a bit, when he was a kid. Always was nice.
  5. I hate the end of these NASCAR races. This shit where they all drive bumper to bumper to bumper is terrible, and then, always with fewer than 10 laps to go we get the big wreck. Hate it.
  6. That was an ass-kicking of Prime UCONN level.
  7. It is nice to not just go straight to Spring Football.
  8. The grandfather of a friend of mine did the music for Mr. Roger’s. There is a statue of Mr. Rogers outside of the Steelers/Pitt stadium, inside an altered old bridge pier. It’s pretty cool. On game days you always see people, and not just kids, getting their picture taken with the statue.
  9. I don’t think anyone saw Auburn out scoring Alabama, 36-15, from 3-point shooting. Crazy exciting game. Like Pearl said, they will most likely meet again, possibly even two more times.
  10. Great finish by AU not to blow that one. Well done, Tigers. War Eagle!
  11. Big East Mayhem! So looking forward to attending the Big East again in a couple weeks.
  12. Auburn is amazing at how poorly the offense plays when they get a big lead. I know, this is a monster rivalry game and that lead was not going to be maintained but, against a ton of other teams they can make a lead disappear in an instant. That’s one reason I am not sold on this AU team getting to the Final Four. Can they? Of course but, I’d not bet on it. Crazy game for us at Pitt today with our two starting guards out of action. That meant the bench had to get involved and they actually had to run an offense, rather than the dribble for 20-25 seconds with nobody moving without the ball and then a bad shot late in the clock. Yeah, it was a win over Miami, who is not having a good year but, it was fun to watch an actual offense. Got home to watch the end of the WVU at Baylor game. It’s always extremely enjoyable to watch WVU lose in gut-wrenching fashion.
  13. Some nice uniforms here.
  14. I didn’t have on my reading glasses. That’s my excuse. 😃
  15. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43831911/former-football-players-sue-last-chance-u-portrayals ESPN.com now with a story about it all. "The most coercive tactic defendants used upon the plaintiffs was telling them if they did not sign the contracts, they were not eligible to practice," John Pierce, the lawyer representing the players, said in a complaint filed last week at Los Angeles County superior court. "In turn, they would not be eligible to play games, and their football skills would deteriorate. Inability to practice meant closing the door on what they committed their whole life towards, eventually playing professional football. Plaintiffs had no real negotiation or any meaningful choice except signing what was presented to them without ever being instructed of the purpose of filming or being advised to read through the contract in its entirety." The complaint indicates East Mississippi sold merchandise involving the players portrayed in the series but that the plaintiffs didn't receive any compensation. It also says Wright, Ollie and Franklin were portrayed in a false light, damaging their reputations.
  16. I can’t drive my oldies until the shit is off the roads. They dumped a shit ton of salt on the road last night, just for flurries. It’s almost as if they say “we have to dump the salt because we paid for it” rather than letting it stay until next year. Too much salt & cinders on the roads to take the good cars out.
  17. So awesome ☝️ Such a beautiful car.
  18. Oops. I guess I just reckoned that folks wouldn’t search out most of the movies that I watch since I’m not really mainstream.
  19. I didn't know that. Was that just an on-the-field? or the whole post-game? He should have sat for them in the lockers.
  20. That's good. I don't root for guys to get hurt.
  21. I’m looking forward to the Big East Tournament this year. St. John’s, UCONN, Creighton, Marquette could make for a fun semifinal.
  22. For Fuck’s Sake these games take forever to finish, UCONN v Creighton. I just saw the little clip concerning the Gator who got hurt tonight. Any word on how bad it is?
  23. Nobody can score this last minute and a half. Good game though, kind of a palate cleanser after watching Pitt & Texas. At least AU won for me tonight, and State Pen and WVU lost.
  24. Our shitastic second half of the season continued tonight at SMU. We were, at one point, 12-2. After losing at SMU a few minutes ago we are now 14-10.
  25. I think that Griffith’s character, in real life, was the first white man in Georgia sent to the electric chair on the testimony from two black men.
