    NBA Ref assignments in the playoffs should work like jury selection. Each team gets to strike 3 refs from the pool in their series, and the NBA has to fill the spots with the remaining ones. It would be a lot of fun to see who teams disrespect and hate. If a ref is struck by every team, then they are terminated.

    That would be one of the most awesome things the NBA has ever done. I would love to have seen this back in the day with Ron Garretson and Bennett Salvatore.

    So I looked up at Minnesota is 17-4.  

    And Rudy is playing out of his mind.

    If this keeps up through this season, I'll be disappointed if @MNLonghornFUKM doesn't rub it in all of our faces given all of the shit he took for the trade.

     

    Unless the trade is an obvious salary dump where one team is getting a Hall of Famer it seems like it is best to wait a few years to see the totality of what happens. Gobert going to Minnesota had the added complications of him attempting to fit with KAT and a still developing Anthony Edwards. Now Edwards has the confidence coming off the World Cup and Minnesota has found a way to make the pieces fit so far this season. In general I think it’s good that they are winning as it gives Edwards more time nationally to show how talented he is.

  3. I have no idea why HCU wanted to be back in D1 instead of NAIA. They had great teams at that level. I remember one with Charles Fordjour from around 2000. I had a friend who played for the women’s team at that same time as well. They will never be good in D1.

    Shit.  I'm out.

    Apparently he was up in Missoula last night. Montana might want to keep him after his excitement during their game.

    No his teams never went to the playoffs, even after being 12-0 in 2022. Not sure if they got a bid. 

    No they would never have gotten one because the SWAC thinks of themselves as the Ivy League of the HBCU’s and would rather have a conference title game and then a bid to that Celebration Bowl debacle every year. It’s so silly and it’s one of the biggest reasons HBCU’s are always behind other schools athletically.

    Glen Rose is one of the prettiest places in the state.  

    And I feel bad for anyone who grew up in Texas whose parents didn't take them to the dinosaur park.

    It has been some years since I drove through there. A friend did all the plumbing on their new gym, but that has been a good long while ago. It was before he had his own plumbing business in Lampasas so that was at least 13 years ago that he did that.

    It would have been cool to see that park as a kid because I loved dinosaurs. We just almost never traveled anywhere because my dad did not enjoy getting in the truck and driving us any place. I don’t blame him because it was his work truck and was a single cab 79 GMC Sierra.

    All kinds of ways. Can't go wrong with neat.

    The taste of it made me sick right off the bat every single time. Then again everything except for maybe three things I ever drank made me sick. I’ll thankfully never find out about the taste ever again. Still serve the mess out of some whiskey to folks at work though so there’s plenty of folks who can handle it!

    Gilmer beat something called Glen Rose 79-42.

    You’ll be getting a visit from Big Dan Campbell shortly to straighten you out about his hometown. Don’t be surprised if he brings some dinosaur bones from the house to hit you over the head with.

    Like Tony Brothers and Jok. Brothers fucking hates Jokic. I'm sure@UpperWestside loves it.

    I think the same here as with Paul. If there is reasonable cause to believe an official is letting a personal bias impede officiating a game fairly then that official needs to be permanently taken off games involving that player. Officials have to remember nobody pays to see them and nobody cares one iota about seeing them. If they cannot do their job professionally they should not have it. Go officiate high school ball in Idaho if you can’t do your job properly.
     

    I am pretty sure I am mocking it and have done the same when talking to friends about the NBA.

  9. My friend that said Anna was going to win the title several months back is right. I switched over in the 2nd quarter of the Davenport game to watch them. They are ridiculously big and fast. He told me I’d be shocked to watch them play. That defense is the best I have seen from any 4A team I have watched and offensively that line is going to wear on Chapel Hill. Davenport got out-athleted, but that isn’t shocking. Next week Chapel Hill is going to face the same problem and get outcoached by quite a bit.

    It's time to lay off the whiskey.

    I don’t drink. Haven’t had anything in four years and do not miss it one bit. I found whiskey disgusting when I did. Have no idea how anyone drinks whiskey.

    Prove me wrong!

    Shit I'll even pay to publish a book stating my omnipotent glory.

    Worship me you fucking heathens!

    Are you the long waited for Flying Spaghetti Monster?

    14 miles from Bay City. 17 to Palacios.

    Your definition of isolation is way the fuck different from mine.

     

    BTW.  Tolar has punched their ticket to JerryWorld.  Albany is most likely going in 2A-DII with a 27-14 lead over Sunray in the 4th.

    We both probably have far different definitions of middle of nowhere. I lived once before in the middle of nowhere, but it was a blast to me to get to do it where I was. Most of West Texas can also be classified as that with the sparseness of people.

    Yea I don’t see it either. Dude was noticeably bigger than previous years… just a matter a time before he gets some nagging knee injury thatll shelf him for the year

    How does he average less than six rebounds a game at his size? This is something I just cannot fathom how he isn’t better at this aspect of the game. He had a grand total of two last night. What was that Barkley quote about a power forward and rebounding?

    We went through this before -- he's our resident "let me tell you I'm an atheist" dickhead.  No ACTUAL perspective, just a gigantic broad brush that couldn't be more off the mark.  I'll continue to neg rep the asshole.

    I honestly do not know that I have ever read their posts before, but noted for future reference.

    I think really what I find to be common about human beings that do atrocious things to other human beings is not a religious ethos or atheistic one or anything else. People who do awful things to others try to find a group that can either be controlled or manipulated. You see this with the uneducated GQP being weaponized through the use of a religion they barely have a passing knowledge of. China and North Korea, as recent examples, control countries through fear and intimidation and torture without using religion. The Middle East has countries where the uneducated are weaponized by distorting Islam and turning things into a jihad. 
     

    People just look for ways to control a group of people that is large enough and powerful to help them reach their goal. That’s basically been human history from the jump. Humans looking to control others to get what they want will never change. Completely blaming religion for atrocities shows a level of intellect on par with GQP members etc…

    Davenport is from the area in 4A D1. No clue about their opponent Tyler Chapel Hill other than they beat favored Kilgore. Looking forward to it. 

    Speaking of, never been to McLane stadium in Waco. Any good places to eat close by that won't take forever before the game?

    I have a fairly decent amount of familiarity with that part of the state and Chapel Hill will match up athletically and be better in more spots than Davenport is used to. I will still take the Wolves by 7-10, but the score is going to be 40 plus for each team if the Wolves do not limit the ground game. If Davenport had more size up front I would take them by two TD’s, but the lack of size makes things very hard on them defensively.

    I can't believe the Yankees are moving on from Higgy.  15 years with the franchise, and the heartless fucking Yankees are just tossing him and his 0.9 career WAR aside?

    What a sad day!

     

    It was hard watching that guy attempt to hit a baseball most of the time. They could have replaced him with one of the Bleacher Creatures out in RF and gotten the same production.

  17. LeBron, the Lakers and the officials are on their way to the title game. I expect the officials to carry us to a win against the Pacers. The Purple and Gold will win this for LeBron and if they can’t well put in a call to 5th Avenue to make sure the Pacers do not win this.
