Sure.
Wait, say that again. You don't think there was a national champion in 2017?

I seek out news sources that flatter me as a truth-seeker, confirm my worst fears, and lay the blame on people I already distrust and dislike. So, even though I'm descending into borderline sociopathology where anyone who doesn't tell me what I already think seems like a non-person, I get a real rush out of feeling like there are "sides" to this thing and my side is rational and blameless.
It's a nifty bit of faux self-actualization, pointing fingers at other passengers on a sinking boat. I love it, if we get through this I hope something even worse happens (to other people).

Will the "I'm gonna be an alcoholic" people be allowed to post here? Could get pretty damn busy...
this is probably the 2nd best thread for them to be in, behind only the JUGS thread

I don’t post here much so sorry for the drive-by. I haven’t gone to any meetings in the last few weeks because of all this and I just want to verify that on-site meetings are off? or are people still going? I’m in austin. I drove by northland last saturday morning and it was fucking packed. I know a lot has happened in the last six days.
It varies by locale-- in Lakeway, the Serenity meetings @ The Lakeway Church are off because that facility is closed, but I think (I haven't been in > a week) that the Keystone meetings @ Emmaus are still on for the time being, just VERY sparsely attended and they've largely been replaced by Zoom meetings that are circulated word-of-mouth. So we still have some in person and some that are cancelled.

if you get an offer from Texas A&M, I don't think it's God you should attribute it to

One of those years, I think, we got lucky and got coppin state in round 2 after they had a big upset- 13 over 4 type.
that was two years later-- in 94, we lost to Michigan's Fab Four (Webber had gone pro), in 95 it was Joe Smith's Maryland team, in 96 we beat Michigan when they (no shit) called a timeout they didn't have and then lost to Wake Forest w/Duncan, and then in 1997 got to the sweet 16 by beating Coppin State by a point. Lost to Louisville in the Sweet 16.

Great. Let's line them up and let them play 1x1. I wonder how it would turn out.

Man I love KD's passion and enthusiasm, which seems like too mike a word to even describe it.
OK, you're gonna have to translate that for the olds here, like me.

Just from watching this game - if there was anything wrong with KD that season - it's that he was too unselfish. He should have had 30 shots a game. I'm going crazy over here saying to myself HOLY SHIT JUST KEEP THE BALL AND SHOOT IT! FUCK YOUR TEAMMATES!
I don't think coaches understood efficiency the same way back then. A lot of the hoary Norman Dale shit turns out not to apply to a generational talent like KD-- while I grew up with, love, and applaud the sentiment of five players on the floor functioning as one single unit, team team team, no one more important than the other, if the team's total offensive efficiency is X and the individual players is X+1, then you should feed the individual player unless and until that spread converges.
I don't even particularly like watching the Houston Rockets brand of basketball vis a vis James Harden, but on balance it's a smarter way to play than "make sure Kevin Durant doesn't take some arbitrary number that feels like 'too many shots'".

I hope this is better than SB Nation's walkthrough where the higher seed won like 99% of the games.

and, I mean... the Webber timeout game isn't in the field but UNLV-Duke from 1990 (the 30-pt blowout) is???

it's not a terrible idea but he put no thought into "seeding" at all

So still no Texas basketball on tv then?
the 09/10 UNC game wouldn't be out of place, nor would the 03 regional final against MSU or the regular season win @ OU that year
or when we were an inexplicable 11 seed in 1995 and bitch-slapped Oregon in the first round
winning at Kansas in... 2011? What year was it where Jordan Hamilton was being kind of a chucklehead and we won there anyway?
Texas-Utah in Austin during the 1993-94 season, I'm not even going to explain that one if you haven't seen it

What a great post, @Reagan1k
since I don't have meetings at which to share my inanities, you're all going to have to read them. Or put me on Ignore.
It occurred to me today while fumbling through a guitar passage that whether or not I'm good at anything in sobriety, I am better at everything. That's really all you can ask for.
