  1. Why don't they just split the difference? This fall we go back 30 minutes and keep it that way?
  2. I'm in. Apparently ESPN considers schlong a profane word. Venmo'd you.
  3. Connecticut 5 Wisconsin 3 Purdue 3 UCLA 4 Texas Tech 3 Iowa 5 Virginia Tech 11 Iowa State 11 The tiebreaker is Iowa.
  4. I'd forgotten that was the game when Jaren Jackson hit some clutch shots. His son and my daughter were in the same preschool class at the JCC in San Antonio and I just realized that kid has been in the NBA for 4 years now.
  5. Watched the first episode again and then watched the HBO sports documentary about Bird and Magic. I had completely forgotten about how those two basically saved the NBA. So the scenes where they describe Bird as "hard working" (WHITE WHITE WHITE WHITE) and Magic as "Flashy" (BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK) - They weren't as over the top as I first thought. Apparently Boston and their fans were more racist than I realized. Goddamned those two could pass the rock. There was a scene where they were playing in an USA Basketball game between college and the NBA where the no look passing was just epic.
  6. It wasn't like Rod Sellers punching Laettner's head into the floor. (Rod is actually a friend of mine, we worked together.)
  7. Just remember the joyous glee when the Spurs did punk the Lakers in the playoffs and it'll even out.
  8. Times change, I have love/hate relationships with the same teams over multiple eras. Loved the Showtime lakers Then I loved the Spurs. Hated the Derrick Fisher 2004 Game 5 .4 seconds / Kobe Lakers with a fiery passion, to the point that I had to give up a resentment when Kobe got killed.
  9. This. My wife has various family members mail her edibles from OR and OK all the time with no issues.
  10. I know, right? Not sure if he ever posted on sicem365 but I first encountered him on the old baylorfans. If its appropriate, would you let any interested people know? @DougO
  11. Tried to call Diablo tonight and when his phone went immediately to VM I got a chill, then hit up the Waco Obits. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/mark-terry-obituary?id=32396700 back when he was the somewhat deranged unklphucker on TOS he was a bad alcoholic. He eventually got sober a few years back and his posting quality improved accordingly. I'd stop in and visit with him and we'd do dinner or starbucks, he was a really good natured man. Prince of a guy in his latter years. Just listened to his outgoing voice mail greeting a few times. I'll miss you buddy.
  12. Got some sad news to share, Diablo passed away in January. He was MARCO on Baylor affiliated boards. I searched but looks like I get to break the news. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/mark-terry-obituary?id=32396700 For some reason I had the urge to call him just now and his phone went straight to VM so I hit google and found his obituary. Last year we talked frequently as he had just bought a house and needed some technical advice, and his mom had passed away the previous June. Last conversation we had, he was putting up a privacy fence so he could piss in his backyard in north Waco near Cameron Park without getting arrested for indecency. We agreed that yard pissing is really the pinnacle of manhood and home ownership. Helluva last conversation, my friend. From time to time when I was in Waco seeing my then-school aged children, I'd swing by his old apartment and take him to a meeting, since he was basically blind. We'd go sit at Starbucks on Wooded Acres and shoot the shit for a few hours and I'd hit the road back to Beaumont. After a few years of really awful vodka riddled phone calls (and awkward candid photo shoots at the apartment pool) he somehow got sober, and really flourished in spite of his vision challenges. He became a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous and did what he could to carry the message. Mark, my friend, I had so hoped to hear your voice tonight when I called, but I take solace knowing you're at peace. Sending blessings, love, and light to your family in their time of loss.
  13. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow%E2%80%93Washington_hotline Sure would love to know whats being discussed via this system, which is now apparently via email
  14. Bash the corps of cadets all you want, but my Aggie corps grad is now, I believe with 99.9% certainty, commanding a platoon of combat medics dispensing medical and humanitarian aid at the Poland/Ukraine border. If true I'm the proudest dad on Earth. If the red herring explanation for his abrupt departure from CONUS earlier this week is true the the US Army is stupid.
  15. This. The one I know kept getting retired in scandal, first from the Army, then the VA. PM me and I'll dox him. And now he's got my son sitting at a checkpoint in Poland. Blast from the past, I was at this event in January 1992. Got caught up in it while on my way back from Moscow's first Pizza Hut.
  16. ELI5, I'm looking at flightradar and scheduled airline service between Russia and the west seems unimpeded. Why not cut off Russian airlines from all Nato countries?
  17. They're all down here by the gulf coast. everyone who says "well Europe stop buying gas, we'll just send LNG ships" need to understand that pipelines/LNG liquefaction/import terminals are 100 year investment decisions that require 10s of $Bs and a decade or 2 to plan/build. This is just one train over at Cheniere that cools the LNG to where they can put it on a ship. https://ibb.co/gMJ03gZ
  18. Spoilering this shit, ought to go in the holy shit photos thread. Don't watch while you're eating lunch.
  19. This guy. . .from the NYT. Would love to see how it ends up for Roman Balakelyev. That's how I see myself going out if we're ever invaded.
  20. My son is in the 82nd and as of 2 days ago he and his wife are radio silent. My prayers are that he gives respite and comfort to displaced people wherever he is serving.
  21. Fitlump's gonna say "hold my beer" any minute now. Damned, Sarah, that photo is just begging to be tribute material, right in the refund gap.
