Dont give him any ideas. He kills us when he plays hero ball

Why don't you lay off X for a minute and say something about that stupid shot Bates just threw up there?  Your X bashing is not credible.  And, you only show up when we are losing.

We look flumoxed and tired

This is what I think of when I hear 'flummoxed'.  

Inexcusable.  

Wish we could have set that play for Kopp instead of Race at the end of the half.

How does Cockburn have no fouls?

More importantly , how is the 'ck' silent in Cockburn.  

Kofi makes Durr look small.

Both of those fouls did not make sense - TJD cannot pick up a foul that far fro the rim today...

We may be watching Duncomb by the end of the game.

Disagree.  Refs need to call the game right.

Just moronic by TJD, bad call or not. Close out under control. 

I disagree.  I need to see the angle from the baseline, but I don't think there is a thing there.  

We sure as heck don't have the home court advantage we used to.

Can we see that from a different angle?

Damnit!  How can we expect to win teh game when we can't win the tip.

I have curled for the last 10 years. Great sport. Fun and the sweeping is a great workout 

Very cool.  Looks like it would be a blast.  Do they have a facility in Steuben County, or do you have to drive a bit?

Tonight I have watched figure skating ( wife brownie points) curling (my passion) and now, snowboarding.

Winter Olympics are the bomb 

It's funny how Curling went from a sport very few care about to one of the most popular at the Olympics.  I would rather watch curling than ice hockey.

The story of the Ball State / Toledo game is Peyton Sparks.  Didn't get much hype as a senior in Indiana's high school class.  But, he's dropped a lot of weight and it looks like he's going to be a very good player.

Combine that with a free place to stay at your house and @5fouls has nothing to complain about!

Game changer!

Ever notice on the news, when they talk about offers, they almost always say IU & Purdue, not Purdue & IU.   From the clip, it appears he has nice handles for a non-guard.

Daily Commute Musical Update

Again, due to the weather, working from home, so no actual commute today.  Like yesterday, posting something that I heard earlier in the week.  Here is a beautiful love song from the 90's.  This one is Carload of People Approved.  

For whatever reason, I'm not in the Olympic mood.  Suffered through that last year for the Summer games.  I generally like the Winter games better, so I'm hoping the mood strikes me before the games get too far into the calendar.

Dammit!  What the hell am I supposed to watch now?

Carload approved. 

 

Totally agree.  Virtually everything Tom Petty does is carload approved.  Probably the artist that I like the greatest percentage of his songs.

In my opinion, the pointspread regression is given a little too much weight in the NET.  Gonzaga wins their games by a big margin and Auburn generally doesn’t.  

It doesn't take a genius to look at that and realize it's faulty.  Apparently, no one in the NCAA appears to understand or care.

FL has its moments, but I'd pick AZ over FL as well. Maybe up a mountain a little bit to get away from the heat and crowds of the valley. 

My wife's brother lives in Mesa.  So, we've visited quite a few times.  And, yeah, it can get hot.  But, the last couple of years, I've really started to notice a difference in my overall mood and health when it's cold and gloomy versus sunny and warm.  

And, as you mentioned, it's easier to get away from the heat in Arizona than it is Florida.  You can take a day trip to Flagstaff or something and knock 30 degrees off the temperature.

And, for me, another big advantage to AZ of FL is spring training baseball.  Everything nice and compact in the Valley.  Spread out all over the state in Florida.
