Week 14 - Feb 5 to 11

[Vowelguy]

Anybody want a new coach? She has a fantastic pedigree and did a really good job at a mid major, I think she's an up and comer. But because I'm such a nice guy, I'm willing to part with her.

Humanitarian of the year

lol. Losing makes some folks lose it.

If you’re not supposed to play music during free throws and Neb did, I’d be unhappy too.

Did you hear "We've got a plane to catch" at the beginning? I can understand her being PO'd about that as well, if her team is supposed to be available to the media first but for whatever reason Nebraska was.

This isn't golf. And the shooter could have given the ball back to the official. There are far worse distractions behind the backboard.

Rules are rules.

 

[Vowelguy]

Kim with a fuchsia cardigan with two giant tigers on either side. (To be clear: tiger pictures, not actual tigers. I feel I need to clarify since, well, it is Kim.)

I'm curious if Kim was first in line at the Liberace estate sale.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

I would have T'd up Reese for staring down the official. And Mulkey continues to get away with murder with the refs...and being physically on the court during play.

That may be part of it, however here's some context that could explain the "plane to catch" comment.

Having live tigers with her court side would really be taking the next step for her, she should look into this.

I believe one of the tiger CFB teams -- perhaps LSU -- used to occasionally bring a live tiger to the games.
They are not permitted to do so anymore.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, here's a really specific topic--best pair of Fr. on the same team with the same last name, who are not related, and are from 2 different countries. I nominate Eleonora and Jenna Villa of Washington St., from Italy and USA. I'm also gonna go out on a limb and guess they are the only such pair in wcbb.

 

[triaddukefan]

Oh boy

I mean I get it, but if you have critters like Ralphie and Bevo running around on fields, how dangerous could an overgrown kitty be?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oh boy

Can we blame him for this reaction?

 

[Vowelguy]

LSU wins the 3rd qtr 30-9.
Stan up 13-2 in the 4th.

I recall reading that NC State used to have a real wolf... not sure if they brought him to games though

Ohio St. has been blowing Michigan St.'s doors off early and often, no drama at all in that one.

edit--although tOSU is continuing today's tend of the road team getting outscored significantly in Q4, but it won't matter

The interesting twist is that Eleonora is a twin. Her twin, Matilde, is the fourth leading scorer on a pro team with Awak Kuier, Jessica Shepard, Anna Makurat, and a few other solid former college players.

 

[Rooster C.]

I see you Oregon State

I know of a team that should be there ahead of Creighton, Princeton, and UNLV. Not gonna name any names but its campus is Collegiate Gothic and has good bbq and cheap cigarettes around the corner. No, not talking about Rhodes College in Memphis.
