10 wins is pretty great, you effing loser.
- If Dick Vitale crying about how excited he was to be back in the booth didn't make you a little verklempt, you might be a piece of shit, also.
My aunt is fighting stage 4 cancer and her prognosis is getting bleaker by the day. Her tumors grew in multiple places even in the middle of heavy duty chemo. Cancer is a real stank ass bitch.
- It feels like it's been a decade since Thanksgiving basketball felt this much fun. Arkansas-UC was a nice back-and-forth little match up last night. Related, I don't think we have any room to whine about UK players' hair after observing some of the lettuce bouncing around on some other teams. Sweet lord, UC has a dude with a...'fro? that's bleached, but only on the top layers. #old

Anyone following this Taran Armstrong kid from California Baptist? Dude is nasty.
Based on the rookie success of Josh Giddey, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he appears on draft boards sooner than later.
6'5 freshman PG from Australia - smooth triple double last game, and is damn near averaging one. Worth a twitter search and scroll - he's a human highlight reel.

Little brother lives right there on 81st, kooky. Love that neighborhood (but am sure it actually sucks and is dangerous).
Was definitely not making light of seeing Vitale back, that was great.
Real trees for me. But don’t mind my moms fake ones now.

I didn't really give a shit about that idiot kid killing other idiots in Wisconsin, but I'll be *legitimately* outraged if these necks in Georgia skate. Yard sign, insta post... nothing is off the table.
My wife informed me yesterday that we are all dressing in matching pajamas and getting professional photos done for Xmas cards. Like what in the actual f*ck? I told her she’s making me look like a giant fag to all the people I know and we got in an argument about it, apparently it doesn’t matter no one looks at me so then why the hell do I have to dress up like a dipshit. Anyway she won like always I AM NOT PLEASED
Ron, I am so sorry 🤣 🤣 🤣 Do you know how excited your wife is going to be for the likes she'll get on the *super cute* photoshoot all the hens will eat up with a spoon while snarking to their group texts, though? Plan demands for when she's basking in that afterglow, the latitude should be EXTENSIVE.
I believe SAE is referring to a high profile case where the victim wasn't a world class p.o.s loser who brought it on himself like George Floyd.
Underrated storyline in the Georgia case is how the local authorities had no intentions of filing charges until the video went viral. They were perfectly happy to just sweep this thing under the rug like it never happened.
My wife made a similar mistake once. She hired a photographer to take Christmas pictures at Veterans Park with us and the dog.
When we got there, the park was packed. My wife had also gotten the dog some stupid new Christmas collar that didn't fit and his head kept slipping out -- which is fantastic for a barely trained puppy in a park full of dogs.
At Veterans Park, there is a long rope bridge that apparently was going to make a fabulous backdrop for the photos. While we were midway across it, some fruit wearing a leather vest with two dobermans he couldn't control came across from the other side of the bridge. My dog slipped his collar when those ill-trained dobermans started snarling and Vest Boy clearly couldn't control them.
I no longer have my dog on a leash and two snarling hellhounds are coming at him across a bridge that seemed like something out of Temple of Doom. Thinking quick, I kneel down on my dog and pin him to the side of the bridge with my knee. My wife -- oblivious to all of this and mad because I bitched about the dog's collar not fitting -- freaks out and decides I've randomly decided to drop a flying knee on our puppy so she starts crying and reaches down to grab the dog. I put my arm out to push her away so the dog didn't get away and since she's leaning down, it apparently looked like I tried to choke or hit her or something.
This dickhead in the vest finally takes his dogs off the bridge and stands there staring at us with his phone in his hand like he's contemplating calling 911 to report a DV incident. He should have called the police because I was contemplating throwing him in a ravine.
That's the last time we did Christmas pictures. Now my wife hires some lady to draw cartoons of us and the dog every year and we send those as Christmas cards.
TOTALLY WORTH IT.

(2) artificial trees in the Rax house. (1) 12’ prelit in the living room with our “family” ornaments (homemade by the kids, souvenirs from trips, etc). Then we have (1) 8’ hand-me down that I believe is made out of rebar and asbestos. We set that one up in the dining room and put the “themed” ornaments on it.
not doing my famous baseball bucket smoked turkey this year. Opted to order one smoked from Proud Mary’s. Gonna save me about 5 hours of standing in the cold tonight. Think I made the right call. Will smoke a ham tomorrow instead. Much easier.
jeans, boots and pfg fleece quarter zip is my usual thanksgiving attire. Nothing fancy. Basically what I wear every day this time of year.
had a great 2021 career wise. Most revenue and profit we’ve ever made by a wide margin. Picked up some huge contracts in several states for 2022. Safe to say, “I’m crushing it”
I was prepared to hate Yellowstone. Figured it was going to be low budget “justified”. Absolutely false. Has quickly become one of my favorite shows of all time. Great story, music, characters. It’s basically game of thrones meets house of cards but set to a sturgill Simpson album.
fellas,

fellas,
I've always wondered who those schmucks were that let their wives drag them to a public park for a photo shoot. Not surprised Hank is one.
<------ rooting for PTI to wax Rob's wife.
“Yellowstone” does a great job making its setting a character, similar to “White Lotus” in that regard. Can veer too far toward a soap opera at times but Costner is an all-timer and Cole Hauser is legit.
Rob falling off that ladder really is enjoyable to reflect upon, especially during the holidays.
Also, I know this will make me sound like a neck from Jessamine county (which I am) but I had NO IDEA Montana looked like that. Just unbelievable landscapes. Makes me want to plan a trip out west. Wow
Out of curiosity I swung by the LSU board to see what they’re saying re: coaching hire. Man, that fan base is going to be touching livid if they hire Stoops.
My desire to see them f**k up this hire has only intensified now that I’ve saw how below them they think Stoops is.

The coaching searches for these elite jobs are pretty hysterical. I think LSU is absolutely one of the premier jobs in the country. Top 3. But why in TF would Lincoln Riley or James Franklin or Jimbo Fisher leave a top-5/10 job just to move zip codes?
I mean those guys aren't exactly struggling to win at the moment.

LSU gives average coaches championships. Les Miles and Coach O are both below them and they left one ring richer than they came
Well Franklin isn’t leaving they just resigned him for something ridiculous to never win ranked games.
Nobody thought you were going to cut a tree down richie. We don't even expect you to be capable of tying one to the roof of your car properly without assistance. I bet you'll look pretty in your sweater and loafers when you pick it out though.
Nice 'Ref Confidential' over at The Athletic...they go through about 50 of them.

Teddy a pretty consensus fav.
Ted Valentine
“I don’t know if I’d say it as much now, but I’ve always said you didn’t mind seeing him on the road. He really knows the game. Everyone thinks he’s trying to be bigger than the game. No, he’s trying not to let the game get screwed up. And he understands how to talk to players. That is one of the most undervalued, underrated traits somebody can have. He’s really, really good at trying to help remind people how not to foul. That’s big.”
“Love him. One of my favorite people to see. He’s an elite referee. He sees it at an elite level and he’s really, really good with the players. Over the years he’s got this rap like he’s theatrical and likes attention — I get where that comes from. But he gives you the same effort. The same pep in his step. The same positive spirit and focus and attention to detail.”
“Some don’t like Valentine because he’s flamboyant. I think he’s a really good play-caller. I never feel like he’s screwing us, or feel like I can’t win with him.’’
“The guy I actually like to see, who I think gives a great whistle, is Valentine. He’s absolutely nuts, but I think you know when you get him, he’s not going to be afraid or influenced no matter where he is, the crowd, or the opposing coach. He’s going to be the same regardless.’’
“Teddy will come up to me and say, ‘Did you get a haircut?’ (to a coach with little hair). Now I gotta laugh, but that’s what it’s about. Relationships. Be human.”
“Teddy is a really accurate official, and I don’t think he gets enough credit for that. The reputation, TV Teddy, that’s all well earned, but he also usually gets it right.’’
“I love me some Teddy and I’ve been on the wrong side of it. That whole theatrics thing can be hard to take, the antics, when you’re losing, but I have so much respect for him, and the amount of work he’s done and his love for the game, I don’t mind it. I like him so much I’ll put up with some of the bullshit.’’
“In the old days, all of that TV Teddy stuff, but he’s matured. It only took him 30 years to mature, but he did. He’s a good official, once you get underneath all of that other crap.’’
“I mean he has a massive ego, but I don’t mind him. If you get him on the road, you know he’ll be fair. He’s not as polarizing as he used to be, I don’t think.’’
“Ted Valentine is the best. He’s the best. He doesn’t anticipate anything. Now there are some things that go along with having Teddy on your game. But if you have a big game, you want him on it. He’s seen every play, been in every situation.”
Which refs do college basketball coaches most, least like to see in a big game? ‘I love me some Teddy’
At the behest of St. John’s coach Lou Carnesecca, Big East supervisor of officials Art Hyland once arrived at the league’s annual coaches’ meetings with a picture book. Inside were headshots of each of the Big East’s officials, created to help the notoriously bad with names Carnesecca...

LSU firing Ed Orgeron after a NC, and paying a near $20m buy-out, to hire Mark Stoops would be something.
Not intended to be a slight on our firey little piglet, but none of that makes any damn sense.
And if Stoops heads down to ole Baton Rouge, then it has to be Neal Brown right?

Mike Gundy is a guy that doesn't get nearly enough love, imho. Oklahoma State is a very good gig, but they're certainly no powerhouse. And yet he pretty consistently wins 2/3 of his games in and out of conference and bowl games. Scores lots of points. Really fun personality. Big OAN guy.
I know OSU is his alma mater, but there's no reason a school like LSU couldn't land that guy.

Well they gotta hire somebody right? They really think they’re gonna steal Riley from Oklahoma?
Stoops isn’t an exciting hire for an elite school, but when you consider the other names being floated around are Lane Kiffen and the dude at Baylor. IMO Piglet is more qualified than both of those guys.
I believe I speak for everyone when I request that you kindly F off. Go choke on a Helm’s banner.
Jeff Brohm would be worth it purely for the reaction here in NuLu town.
