  1. Super Powers! I am telling you. The potential is HUGE!
  2. If not for giving USC a #1 seed over the better team, UCONN, then all FF teams would have been #1 seeds. JuJu getting injured just made UCONN advancing to the Final Four official 7 days earlier. The game would have been closer with a healthy JuJu, but UCONN is on fire. They weren't going to be denied.
  3. Two days ago… …and today? Olivia Miles is entering the transfer portal. https://www.cbssports.com/wnba/news/womens-basketball-transfer-portal-notre-dames-olivia-miles-makes-bold-move-to-forgo-wnba-draft-per-report/amp/ Which term enticed her into the portal? This girl is going to make so much more money playing college basketball next year than she would have in the WNBA.
  4. I don’t want to be THATGUY, but… Past Participles are a real thing. If I were THATGUY, I would write: ”…he would’ve run a 4.2…” 🤘
  5. Paige Bueckers with 31 points, 6 assists, 4 steals, 3 rebounds the game after having 40 points, and that game came after a game she had 30+ points. She’s okay. I thought that UCONN should have been a 1 seed… and I guess that I was vindicated.
  6. Good to know. I am looking to get a Eurail pass tonight while they are still 15% off and need to figure out if I get a pass for 10 or 15 days over a 2 month period or just buy a full month or 2 month unlimited. The plan is to also visit a bit of Germany and then hopefully some Spain and dip into Portugal and France from there. Big eyes, limited plans for now.
  7. I’m not too much older than you. I don’t mind change. I do get bummed when changes make things worse rather than different or better. People don’t fill out NBA playoffs for a reason… those playoffs don’t deviate much from the seedings. And in a 7 game series, unless the refs have a betting interest in the outcome/despise a team owner, the better team will win. The unpredictability of the outcomes made the tournament pure madness. The madness that occurs during the NBA Playoffs is is most likely go to be caused by boredom. I will still watch, if I’m living in the States, but I feel that it won’t be as entertaining as before. The tournament’s “Cinderella” (Arkansas) was #16 in the preseason poll. That’s pretty pitiful.
  8. I will say it here and again, I am sure, elsewhere. THE TRANSFER PORTAL IS THE DEMISE OF THE “MADNESS” OF MARCH. We have 4 #1s in the Final Four. The #1s had to beat 3 #2s and a #3 to advance. All of the top teams in Boys AND Girls basketball are littered with transfers. I think that we are witnessing the end of the Madness and don’t care because we are basically a “Have”. But it was the “Have Nots” that made the tournament crazy and fun. That’s pretty much over.
  9. Reading this in the middle of the night, I thought that you were referring to a medical center shown during a “Here at UCLA, we have facilities that…” commercial and one of the locations was a medical center used in “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”. Then I reread it and realized that you were talking about CHIEF.
  10. He looks like a Center Back in soccer ⚽️ or maybe the manager for a high school basketball team 🏀. Nice guy, good student, and possibly plays the cello in his high school orchestra. (Of course he is 1st chair cello.)
  11. Novak looked like he was melting out there on the court. He has major issues with cramping early in his career and then became one of the slowest and most deliberate players the sport has ever seen as the years went on. (Novak & Rafa were why the serve clock was invented.) I checked the temperature… …not so bad. Then my brother asked me about the humidity. Novak was always going to lose this match after losing the first set tiebreaker. No way could he go 3 sets and win against someone half his age.
  12. I love the ad at the bottom which is a perfect button on the thread titles. And then just a short, but delicious thread.
  13. If the 9 year-old is a boy and wins, you had better have “The Talk” before you hand over the money, because otherwise that kid is going to immediately spend it all on Ho’s & Blow. 🥸
  14. I will be in Wales in late June and then am perhaps going to roam around Britain for a bit, so I may pass through Wrexham. I won’t have a car, and won’t be close, but it would be fun to seen some of the filming locations and cast of The Wrexham Show.
  15. Talking about Hauch (Florida) hitting 3s late in the game: Announcer #1: “He’s made more money this week than Steve Jobs!” Announcer #2: “Well, we know that.”
  16. When Paige left the game with 3 minutes remaining, second half scoring looked like this: Oklahoma 15 points P Bueckers 29 points
  17. Paige Bueckers is going full on Olympics Steph Curry in the 4th quarter.
  18. For those asking: Did Craig James kill 5 hookers while at SMU? https://deadspin.com/spokeswoman-for-craig-james-denies-he-killed-five-hooke-5908993/
  19. https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2012/05/once-and-for-all-did-craig-james-kill-five-hookers-at-smu/
  20. I’m fairly certain that We used to dance to this song at middle school dances. I feel like freshman year I remember some friends mentioning that they had seen The Judys at that concert venue the year before and I remembered “Oh yeah, they sing ‘Guyana Punch’.” Think I knew the basics of the story, but mainly I remembered it as a soft slow song where everyone ducked low and waited for the explosion of energy to jump up and bounce around, mirroring the energy of that segment of the song. It was a great middle school dance song.
  21. Like Dodgers Stadium!
  22. Coat that mole for her. Taylor does seem to underwhelm more often than not.
  23. “AGGIES” + LSU colors = 🤷‍♂️
