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.

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...…..LaterGO BIG BLUE!
Get healthy young man.
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.
Good story and good picture.
I love the story MDWildcat.
We made fun of how Yankees talked. Not many Yankees passed through where I grew up.
I ain't no yankee but I have been to Bell county several times.
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.
Congrats.
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
Hope all are well
Finally venturing back to the boards
I see that PJ declared (no surprise) but that Hagans is coming back(kinda surprised)

My wife bought an 8-pound Boston butt and all the ingredients for Tidewater coleslaw for Thunder Over Louisville Saturday. It comes early this year due to Easter.
Good afternoon!
Dad and I hit up Bardstown today. Did the piddler mall and had fish for lunch. Riding around with the windows down and jamming to some Willy's Roadhouse. Good times.
Came home and mowed all the grass and also weed ate for the first time this year. Might become a habit.
Put the first coat of spar urethane on my new table. Looks great while it's wet. 2 or 4 coats to go with sanding between each.

Sounds like you had a very productive day. I took a little day trip to Trump headquarters in preparation for a Trump Rally on May 4 at Adams Moon Lake Ranch. Gonna be fun. Menu includes all of the local favorites. Swamp cabbage, fried fish, pulled pork, pork ribs, fried chicken and gator meat. Also deer meat and quail. Getting ready for 2020 down here.
That table will be another ymmot masterpiece!
Good luck to PJ and soon to be Keldon and Tyler. Maybe others. I really miss the days when Senior Day meant something. The world is what it is. No sense in living in the past.
It sure is. I love my dog and she's getting older BUT it makes me hug the ol' gal all the more.
Just talking with my wife about something or another and my mind went back to school and some games we used to play.
First one was at lunch during grade school. About 8 kids sitting around a table. Each kid would continue a count around the table. 1,2,3,4,5,6,_,8,9,10...
The deal was, you couldn't name a number that contained a 7. The other criteria was that the number could not be divisible by 7 either. 3rd grade I think.

Bombed it big time

It's the smallest thing I've ever built if you discount subwoofer enclosures. Those did involve math though.
Good morning and Happy Hump Day from ATX. Currently 66°F. More 90s coming this afternoon. Near record heat expected. Thank goodness for AC.
MLB season is underway. I'm not into it like the old days. College game is fun sometimes. Just under 5 months until college football kicks off again.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.
