Good timing for me. Austin is a 6 hour drive from Monterrey and about a 45 minute flight. Ill plan on going.

JC was my guy

I took Spanish in the summer one summer semester. Rash was in my class. Seemed like a good dude. To be honest, thats how i describe most of my interactions with players. Solid people. I met a guy who went to Sryacuse in the late 80s early 90s. He had nothing but horrible things to say about...

Im assuming it was legal. Probably part of the "official visit" allowances. If we do the same, where does the plane land? Im sure some place closer than Bradley. Maybe East Hartford? In both Champaign Il and Lawrence KS they likely land in town.. minutes from campus. Lots of flat land in the...

Interesting interview. Im hoping some of these x-college stars start to open up about what perks they received when it was illegal to receive such things.

The concept of "blue blood" has jumped the shark. It doesnt mean anything. Also... there's like 10 people on the internet trolling around and claiming we are not in the club. Everyone that matters agrees we are

All excellent, but this is cheating.

What grade are you in now? Edit: just being cheeky. Dont eat them much myself, but i in fact love fish sticks

What do you put on fish sticks? I dont think there's a rule that prevents you from making tarter sauce with another type of pickle relish

Its just mayo and relish.... mostly mayo. Also it apparently fits the definition of aioli based on other posts. So why single out tarter sauce? Its the condiment of choice for fish sticks. Does anyone disagree with the usage of tarter sauce on fish sticks? Probably very few. Furthermore a fish...

Tarter sauce for me. Not mayo but close enough that i answered yes

If im drafting im taking Clingan all day. Castle is great but there are lots of 6'6" guys in the nba. Im taking my chances on the athletic 7'2" guy

Im not going to lose any sleep over any potential Duke collapse.

Seems possible. Similar size. Good athleticism. Can shoot the three. We will see.

A 3 or 4 year project just isnt a thing anymore is it. Which may be for the best. Sometimes a 3 or 4 year project works out. Guys like Hilton really developed late. But i also think of guys like Antric Klaiber who never really played. The Antric Klaiber types would of probably done better at a...

Exclusively plays garbage time, but he always seems to jack up a 3 when he gets into the game. Feels like he never misses.

Living in the midwest for a long time ive met many who believe basketball was invented in Kansas. The casual kansas fan literally believes Naismith hung the peach baskets for the first time on a wall in Lawrence. Got in a mild argument about it in a bar one time. I hate being the person who...

Ben Gordon had some steller games in 2004. I dont have the numbers handy, but he was lights out against Nova in the BE tournament... i think it was 2004

I can't say I 100% align with the original post, but what are others concerned about. Is it one of the following: P4 or P2 or whatever it becomes creates their own tournament or simply muscles all the other schools out of the existing tournament? Px simply has so much more money they buy all...

Agree. Newton made things look easy. He's very easy to take for granted

reading their fans demand huge payments for coaches, player, etc.. is a bit much for me. I can't say Connecticut (or any program for that matter) is much better. We are all in the race to buy wins and championships, but Kentucky fans are by far the worst in this regard.

Thats a good way to put it

I mentioned it in the post about the 7'2" kid. I would be very careful with anyone who signed with Kentucky/Calipari. I'm not a Calipari hater, but I feel like there could be a fundamental conflict in interest. Obviously we tell our recruits we can get them to the pros, but the Calipari version...

Do we want someone who bought Calipari's get-rich-quick pitch to begin with? Its definitely worth considering if a Kentucky recruit fits our "Culture" That said, not worried about it. DH and staff know what they are doing. If by chance this dude becomes a Husky Im sure he fits the system.

This is it for me. The two highlight passes in a row by Spencer and Castle followed by the Clingan dunk

Its the most creative offense ive ever seen in college basketball. Some of the talking heads are saying the same. The plays are often very difficult to follow and include a bunch of action thats all just a distraction. It also results in an absurd number of dunks in the half court.

Starting at the 4 is a possibility as well.

Cal is lazy and passed his prime.... first sign of how serious Cal is about winning will be his staff. Does he bring his guys from Kentucky? He'd be an idiot to do so. This should be an opportunity to cut ties with his old staff who are also fat and lazy.

They hired Cal when he needed to escape a bad NBA situation. To a lesser extent Pitino took the job for the same reason. The piles of $$ worked in those situations, but Pitino got out as soon as possible. DH is not in the same situation. Billy Donovan is sort of in a similar situation but...

Much of the post season conversation was about 1-and-done freshmen. A team filled with them no longer can compete with a team of 24-year-old 5th year players. So we will see.

Not a ton after getting the 6 point seperation at half. The game was going almost exactly as i expected and i had a suspucion we would create a bit more seperation after halftime... based on earlier games. Coming into the FF i felt the Alabama game would be more difficult and it was. Bama...

Dream season for me. I was 13. Before that i was more into kid things... 1990 i started watching sports in general.

I was 13 when they beat us in 90. That loss and the press K received fueled my hatred for years. In my mind our guy deserved that press. After JC beat them twice on the biggest stage my hatred subsided. The debate was settled. Our guy won. Hard to believe we just passed them in championships...
