It was not Higgins that got punched. It was an AAU game. The official was Kenny Culp.

Hey Guy's and BKO I'm out of the hospital and back home. I'll make myself take it easy. Post a little hear and there. It's good, I wasn't expecting what happened during my pre-OPT. Bert was on a pretty good run today...…..Later 
GO BIG BLUE!
GO BIG BLUE!
I was about 5 years old when I discovered how stupid a Yankee can be. Even when they are trying to do a good deed they can come off as ignorant. My case in point: My grandfather raised some sugar cane across a dirt road from his orange groves. Just a small patch to make cane syrup, etc. One of my close friends in childhood was Buster and we hung out together. His family had been on my grandpa's property for about 100 years. Trucks would haul the sugar cane out and at times they would hit a rut and a piece of cane would fall off. That was like heaven to Buster and I and we would run out in the road and grab it to eat. A pocket knife and sugar cane to a Southern boy in 1948 was like a cheese cake in today's world. Good eating. Once a truck pulled out and dropped a stalk of cane and we ran out in the road to grab it. A big Cadillac came driving by and the driver saw us grabbing the cane and stopped. A lady got out of her car. She walked over to us, patted us on the head and gave us each a dime. Then she looked down and said "you poor boys, starving to death and eating corn stalks off of the road." Then she walked back to her car and drove off. As she left you could see those NEW YORK license tags and Buster looked at me and started laughing, then Buster said, "Stupid Yankee". We laughed for about a half hour at that one.
The little boy on the left is Buster and yours truly is on the right.
Great story and photo Sawnee. It reminds me of a joke my pappaw told me when I was about five.I was about 5 years old when I discovered how stupid a Yankee can be.

A city kid comes to the country to meet his hillbilly cousin. He asks to be shown around the farm where they live. They stop at a pile of rabbit pellets and the city boy asks, "What are those?" The country boy says, "Smart pills." The kid picks one up and chews it, then spits it out. "That tastes like poop." His cousin says, "See? You are smarter already."
I love it. Great story. And probably true. LOL
My grandpa would say neither Buster nor I had enough meat on our bones to make a sick dog a bowl of soup.
We made fun of how Yankees talked. Not many Yankees passed through where I grew up.

Nope, they have teeth like an old girlfriend I once knew.
April 8, 1989. The big 3-oh.
Great meal at Silvio's Italian restaurant. Stuffed to the gills. Great food and wine/cocktails. The ol' wallet is definitely a lot lighter tonight. What the hell. She's worth it.

Glued it together today. Prolly take the clamps of tomorrow afternoon. Gonna put some spar urethane on it and see how it looks. If it's acceptable then I'll probably cover my egg table with it.
I laughed out loud at that even though I knew what was coming. Might be the funniest show ever. Every character could easily carry an episode.
Oh I know. I was just joking that Higgins deserved to be punched.

She's purtier'na speckled pup. Congrats.
NC game is tightening up in the last few minutes. It's about time for that controversial call/no call to decide the game.
Great game. I think the best (and luckiest) team in the country won it all.
Damn. Red Raiders lost. No "Guns Up" tonight. Good game.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 62°F. It appears we're heading back into the low 90s again today in Austin.
Whew! Heckuva a final game. Hated seeing Red Raiders lose. They played an awesome game. Like Chief says, Cavs may have been the best and luckiest in the country and tournament. Only team from Texas ever to win the NCAA men's basketball championship = Texas Western in 1966. All knowledgeable Cat fans remember who the Miners beat that year, right?
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Get healthy young man.

Good story and good picture.

Good morning D-League
Our current temperature is 74°.with a high expected at 76°. We had a little rain shower that is keeping the temperatures down. Watched the game last night in part because none of the "Blue Bloods" were playing and it is the first final I have watched since 2015. I was pulling hard for Texas Tech. They came close to pulling it off. Should have.
I am finishing up my first pot of coffee and think I will have another. All take care

Hi there D-League; I trust that everyone is doing well this morning.
Morning. Virginia has a very good team at all positions. Texas as well. The game was fairly enjoyable. Usually don't watch after the Cats are out but I wanted to check out the team that would win 6 and what it takes. Eville said it best that you need to be a good team and some degree of luck, or the ball bouncing your way. Coffee. FCC
Good morning D Leaguers. Just a beautiful morning in suburban Ashland. Just came in from working on fence line to see if any earth shattering news had happened overnight. Seeing none, I'm going back out. All take care and have a great day.
I was rooting for Texas Tech. Dang.
It is a foggy morning in Smiths Grove. The sun has not won yet and it is nearly nine in the morning.

Looks like to win 6 you better hit your foul shots because the team you are playing is going to hit theirs. I'd be curious what those two teams last night shot for the tournament at the line. FCC.
Free throw shooting is one of the most important parts of a basketball team and it separates a man from a boy. Free throw shooting requires concentration and motor skills. To be good you have to be consistent and shoot every free throw as close to the same as humanly possible. Athletic ability, running fast and being able to dunk will not sink a 15' free throw. As we all know a game can be won or lost on the free throw line. And yes a made free throw is just as important two minutes into the game as two minutes left in the game. A point is a point and if you make those free throws early in the game you may not be in a position that they must be made at the end of the game.
One thing I regret is for Tyler Herro. He may be the best free throw shooter in our history but he did not get enough of them. There were games where he had zero attempts. That should never happen.
It's discouraging to think back about the number of points left on the table because of missed free throws.
Yep. When those players got to the line you didn't even wonder if they would make them.
Sorry. I don't like a team of OADers. I think there was only one starting freshman in the Final Four. Sure you win a lot of games in a season with OADs but the tournament weeds them out sometimes very early. Experience counts in the tournament.

Speaking of free throw shooters, Happy Birthday goes out to an all-time Wildcat great in that department.
I got my taxes done finally. I was not hurt that bad. Big load off my shoulders after the mess from the last three years. Now I hold my breath for two months and see what happens.
Hey D-League. Went to the eye doctor to get my prescription changed. So, they give me those dilating eye drops so they can check for cataracts. I said, 'Will this bother me to drive?' No, not at all the pretty young doctor replied. Who argues with an attractive woman? So I got in the car, turned east, toward the sun -- and couldn't see a foot in front of the car. Got to the train station by feel.
Naturally, it turns out to be one of those days that the second i reach work everything is going haywire, and I'm squinting and shuffling like a drunk trying to deal with it.

Congratulations.
We finished ours a few weeks ago and hopefully will file electronically today.
Afternoon D

Finally venturing back to the boards
I see that PJ declared (no surprise) but that Hagans is coming back(kinda surprised)
