  1. This is a really entertaining basketball game so far. I can bitch about the excessive three point shooting in the league but there ain’t nothing wrong with the way this one is being played.
  2. What? Beating Old Dominion, Akron and Wofford didn't impress you? You think beating Mississippi State instead of Akron would have made a difference?
  3. Is the SEC really going to 9 conference games? Ignoring for a moment that ESPN would have to pony up to make it happen, I can't see it unless they get the committee to guarantee them four playoff spots. The SEC could only get three teams into the playoffs with an 8 game schedule this year. I can't imagine they are going to cannibalize their playoff hopes for more regular season cash. Seems like it would ultimately devalue the overall product and really change the narrative if they aren't dominating the playoff bracket. This conference made its bones off of bullshit scheduling and national championships.
  4. I’m a big fan of Liuzza’s on Bienville too but I understand they are under new management. Not as much of a poboy place but love those schooners of beer and killer food too.
  5. I second Parasols for the roast beef. I'm not a huge fan of the atmosphere at Domilise, but the poboys are damn good. The best poboys I've had in years were at Liuzza by the Track, when I was there a couple of months ago. It's not in the Garden District, but well worth the 15 minute uber to the Fairgrounds. BBQ shrimp poboy is the GOAT for me, and their other poboys were incredible as well.
  6. Welp, I just got the text from Southwest that my flight from SA to Dallas Friday morning may be affected by weather. If those fucksticks cancel my flight I'm gonna be pissed.
  7. Sochan is nearly unplayable at crunch time. That’s two straight games where nobody is within 10 feet of him at the arc at winning time and he isn’t even close to making it. It’s not an accident that he is that open. He’s killing the spacing and bogging down the entire offense. I agree with @ztejas that Castle needs those minutes. He’s a playmaker who can create for himself and others. But they definitely can’t play him with Sochan unless they want to multiply their spacing woes.
  8. Worst loss of the season. At least this helps with their pick.
  9. Can’t believe they are sweating this one out.
  10. Holy shit joker was open for that. So lucky to be playing ot.
  11. The cactus looks like it’s giving everybody the finger. Kinda respect the attitude and effort despite the geography challenges.
  12. It’s not just a 1b option, it was a 1b option who is a wholly unique floor spreading big that opened up the entire floor and cleared out the paint for his drives. Instead they have a ball stopper in Randle and a 7’2” dude you don’t have to guard outside of four feet. I can’t think of two worse archetypes to play with Ant. The Gobert contract and second apron made that trade even worse than it was at the time, and it was atrocious when they made it. They were forced to do something to get away from the apron and they needed assets to unload Rudy, all of which they ironically had to give up to get Rudy. They were in a no win situation and basically did the only thing they could have done. Vincenzo has been playing great lately after a bad start which lessons the sting a little but they took a bath on that trade to recover from purely self inflicted wounds.
  13. Nice to win a close one against a good team on the road. Wemby v Jokic lived up to all the hype. Two of the most unique bigs in nba history.
  14. I could talk myself into Jokic being top 5 all time. He’s got an answer for everything.
  15. Wemby is ridiculous. 15 and 11 in 11 minutes so far.
  16. The play clock had just started when ND ran their guys off. It hits about 19 or so when they are all off the field. Even with Georgia sprinting out there, the official didn't move off the ball until there was 5 seconds on the clock. Just monumentally stupid. Even a slight delay from Georgia screws that whole thing up.
  17. The dumbest part of that whole punt substitution deal was how fast Georgia got their subs in. They were under no obligation to rush out there like that, were they? They should have taken their sweet ass time getting back on the field and forced ND to take a time out or delay of game. The FFR that coaches Illinois has made a practice out of doing that against hurry up teams that sub late.
  18. Forget about the blue blood talk for a minute... this final four is the Haters Ball. Who is more despised in college football than Ohio State, Notre Dame, Penn State and Texas? Maybe Bama but it's not the same since Saban bolted.
  19. You root for A&M too because they haven't won anything since before any current player was ever born? Fuck Notre Dame, forever. You root for A&M too because they haven't won anything since before any current player was ever born? Fuck Notre Dame, forever.
  20. Just incredibly stupid. 30 seconds backed up in your own territory with an inexperienced QB. Run it into the line and go into halftime.
  21. I don’t think anybody should be called a pussy for being impressed with what Ohio Stste has done the last two weeks. They had the toughest draw in the field and completely annihilated both teams right out of the gate. Shock and awe both first quarters, and the games were over. i think Will Howard is a spare but there’s no denying the talent at WR and that defense is elite at all three levels. Our two games against the only comparably talented team we played in Georgia don’t necessarily inspire confidence and this Texas team has shown a distinct ability to play with its food and just be generally inconsistent on offense, not to mention our place kicking woes. That said, I like the intangibles in this game for Texas. Ohio State will hear how invincible they are for the next 9 days. Texas is a fantastic underdog. Texas can hang its hat on clutching up when they needed it most, which they have essentially done all season to varying degrees. Texas has played dominating football all year but the scoreboard hasn’t always reflected the dominance. Horns are going to have to play their best game of the season to win, and they are a td dog for a reason. But it’s not too difficult to see a path forward to win. Gonna need great db play. Ewers is going to have to be special. If we could get some running game going, that would be helpful. And we can’t afford to lose the turnover battle.
  22. I thought once you got up by two tds you were supposed to let the other team back in the game. Not sure what I’m watching here. Very confused.
  23. There’s also this, which is hilarious.
  24. Why is Penn State even bothering to pass? I liked what that guy did at Kansas but this is malpractice.
