D-League

Morning D, making my first fishing trip of the season this morning after sunrise. Coffee is down the hatch, casting arm at the ready, full speed ahead.

An Irish daughter had not been home for over 5 years. Upon her return, her father cursed her heavily.

“Where have ye been all this time, child?
Why did ye not write to us, not even a line?
Why didn't ye call?
Can ye not understand what ye put yer old Mother through?”

The girl, crying, replied, “Dad, I became a prostitute.”

“Ye what!? Get out a here, ye shameless harlot! Sinner! You're a disgrace to this Catholic family.”

“OK, Dad, as ye wish. I only came back to give mum this luxurious fur coat, title deed to a ten bedroom mansion, plus a 5 million savings certificate.

For me little brother, this gold Rolex.

“And for ye, Daddy, the sparkling new Mercedes limited edition convertible that's parked outside plus a membership to the country club .. (takes a breath) .. and an invitation for ye all to spend New Year's Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera.”

“What was it ye said ye had become?” says Dad.

Girl, crying again, “A prostitute, Daddy!.”

“Oh! My Goodness! Ye scared me half to death, girl! I thought ye said a Protestant! Come here and give yer old Dad a hug!!!”

Zion just bulled his way over the first guy and then on the foul shot put back, they shoved the UCF man under the basket. I had a house full, since it was my grandson's birthday and everyone was gleeful that UCF was up. I told them that the ref's would screw them in the final minute and Duke would win. I just said, "I told you so."

Feels like the tournament is rigged after watching the last minute of that game.
 
No calls or not. UCF screwed up.

Up 4 with the ball, 2 on 1 break, and mess up a alley oop with no one within 20 feet.

2 missed rebounds, any one of which would have sealed the deal.

A roller off the rim, and then the rebound, a roller off the rim. Game.
True. You can add the missed block out of Barrett on the Zion missed free throw.

You're right, they should have made the oop, but on the rebounds, the first one took a crazy bounce, and the 2nd one, Barrett shoved the UCF player underneath the basket to get the ball. On the last play, I thought the UCF player clearly was fouled on the runner, with no call.
