Really the only acceptable thing to ever come out of North Carolina.




Well, this, and John Wall. Used to twist an awful lot of t-shirts around my hand and spin it like a helicopter at The World Famous Two Keys Tavern, iirc. (shoutout: "The Outlaw" DJ Jesse Warren).
 
Someone should calculate the delta between recruiting ranking and final rankings each yr per program. That one would be eye popping as well.

  • Perfectly extracted, 3-day old Blue Bottle Opascope beans into a 3/8” thick tiger-striped crema ristretto. God shot. That said, I’m actively shopping for a new machine with direct plumbing line, PID, preinfuse, flow control double boiler. Been saving for a while. January purchase. Very expensive passion.
  • Down another 5. I’m going no carbs, no butter😢 come New Year. Phase II, profit.
  • Christmas Eve Dinner Invites sent. 7 fishes, but no sit-down for 34. Wifey put foot down… no dismantling our living and dining rooms and in favor of sterno hot plates, Antipasti, seafood lasagna, bacala zeppoli (pizza fritte), Yucatán shrimp, coconut shrimp, Linguini alici(anchovy sauce), calamari salad …not all Italian stuff, but my mom is dead, so screw it. The part she would love is that I’m making the festa Bar and drinking focussed for epic happy hour. She loved her martinis. Dec 17, come on by.
  • Montreal was vetoed by wife for her 50th. Maybe Napa? Ice wine for Chardonnay? Gotta jump on it.
  • My UK frosh missed his connecting Flight on Monday back to Lex. Met a UK/Jersey girl in same predicament (eff EWR) and they hung out in Charlotte airport for 5 hours. In Lex, driven home by another sorority girl roommate who happens to be the daughter of one of my best friends… tiny world.
  • TaeKwonDo with Master Jae today for lil Man. Hope he likes it.
  • Monday meeting with potential move involved.
  • Japan beating Germany and Spain in group play is bonkers
 
-Speaking of Italian Feasts, only took 2 years of my contributions to basically get tasked with taking over the mainstays. Of course, wild what happens when you cook things the proper duration and temps rather than blowing through them and turning your meatballs into sawdust. Not going to attempt the lasagna because I don't want to be adding that to the list. My sausages are going to blow their socks off... specifically this batch. 80 and I have that recipe f*cking nailed. The extry spicy ones are f*cking fire. Should be a hoot waking up after the bourbon event to cook for 30+ people.

-Riverhouse in Louisville last night, cool spot. Octopus app is dope. Tuna entre was a B+.

-Ye turning into a lunatic just bums me out. He's always been a bit crazy but when Alex Jones and Trump are telling you to pump the brakes... you've gone waaaaaay too far. Any chance of comeback is basically dunzo.

-Jalen Kitna 😲. Enjoy prison, buddy. What a POS dumbass.

-Clayton and Crume get my southern frat boy leather goods business. Thank you very much. Gotta keep it local.

-Wiling to succumb to A LOT of middleclassfancy white suburbia trends... I wore flannel lined jeans for f*cks sake... but I'm not joining the OnCloud movement. Nike for life. Had someone recommend APL for my gym shoes, $250 😳 for basica gym shoes, even Anth thinks that's excessive. Back to the Metacons.

-Dad dug my first car, 1983 Monte Carlo Lowrider, out of storage and it looks like it's been in there for all 20 years. Really a damn shame I let it go for that long. Going to take a bunch of work to get it back in good condition but I owe it to the ol girl. We had some great times. Mom and Dad bought it off the lot new as their first new car then handed it down to my as my first car.

-Speaking of being lazy, watching reels for 30 minutes before bed instead of reading is ridiculous. Maybe IG is worse for me than Twitter.

-Fat Wop's accomplishments keep getting further and further away.
 
Cal hasn't gotten it done for the last several years. Usually infuriating and occasionally embarrassing. No question.

But...

Scoot over Vern, we're winning it all this year!

I've still got my front row seat on the Bitch Bus, but I'm hopping off in March. Touch it. The Basketball Gods are going to make us overcome the stupid lineups & substitution patterns. We're due.

Of course, 11 months ago I also thought we were going to win it all. Hell, we were absolutely rolling in January. Injuries and stupidity beat us. Now I guess stupidity is keeping me from throwing in the towel already.

Next year will be his last, regardless, IMO.





*If we lose to Michigan on Sunday, I reserve the right to pick my torch, pitchfork and For Sale yard signs back up.

Yep, not listed in my menu is I also do Ricotta cheesecake (Pizza Dolce). I am the family historian and chef. My 4 siblings don’t bother
 
To be honest Anth, we’re all just happy your shoes no longer have toes.
I had a pair of those, so I live in a glass house, but in retrospect those things were an unbelievable embarrassment.

They are, however, the best shoes you can have for canoeing or other stuff where you are in and out of water and walking on creek bottoms, etc.

What about Chacos?

Yeah, I've used them about 3 times total and once was whie water rafting. Perfect for that.

Not sure if you are serious, but the toe shoes are great for walking in shallow water on rocks because you can minimize slipping and it is easier to get purchase. They also drain relatively well. Sandals just mush around and it is much easier to fall and sprain an ankle or wrist.

Plus you get to look like an enormous dork.

What a dumb (and dumber) take.

What an odd early basketball season. I have no reason to have confidence in the school I cheer for, but what little I’ve seen of some of the other top ranked teams, I don’t see much to be afraid of either.

I don’t care that Gonzaga beat us, or MSU for that matter. I’m not so impressed with Texas, Creighton, UNC, Gonzaga, Duke, IU etc that I think we can’t beat any of them as we gel together and Cal “figures” this out.

The only question is honestly the coach.

OTOH, our football program! WTF, I realize the guys leaving aren’t 1-2 on depth charts, but we had important holes to fill in meaningful positions. Now we’re losing valuable depth too!

Did these guys like Scangrello? Didn’t even want to wait until a new OC is hired? Maybe even see what’s possible for QB replacement?

I can’t imagine being a head coach/recruiter in this mess. Not only are you about to convince early signees to sign, but keep your team together and cycle thru the portal and get guys to sign too, ugh!

Oh and BTW all during the damn holiday season? No wonder these dudes end up divorced.

You're going to lose several guys each year that likely won't start. This is the new setup for college sports because the NCAA is a ridiculous corrupt organization that refuses to acknowledge the new era. This is for all sports. It's nothing new. Kids, especially upperclassmen, aren't going to be backups of they can go somewhere else and start.
 
Wish all of you could have seen Anth turn the corner in that low-rider into the back parking lot of our conservative gentleman's preparatory academy
I had a red Mazda Miata in HS (as you all would assume) and when I was a senior, I’d pick up my freshman brother from football practice by doing a big loops in the parking lot and blaring (w/top down) the Inspector Gadget theme song on a *fresh* CD-R.

He would resort to ejecting the face of the CD player to stop it as he hustled over to stop the insanity. - Just some classic big bro goofin’.
 
I wear Chacos a lot in the summer. Have done so for the last 20 years or so, and am only on my 3rd pair. Things last forever. I also spend a lot of time in creeks (as the name implies), but wear muck boots then.

Rowland on HOB getting me all worked up for Liam Coen and the portal. I'm sure I'll get suckered in to expecting 11 wins again. I've heard from a close source that Tanner Bowles is a lock, and that was before he was in the portal. Heard the same about Jacob Lacey though, and he's at OU now. Grain of salt, ATKOT.

Insurance is a ripoff if you never use it. It's even more of a ripoff when you have to. Spent 3 hours on the phone yesterday trying to get them to tow a car from the tow lot to the body shop. Could've done it myself in 2 minutes. Oh and it will be over 2 weeks since the accident before they even get an adjuster to estimate the damages.

You're in good hands, my ass (my ass isn't in good hands) - Neal McCoy on All State, probably

First car was an 88 Pontiac Firebird. Baby blue. Upgraded 6x9s and two 10s in the hatch. Skanky as hell.
 
Still been 6 months since my wife’s car was stolen, and I still don’t have damages fixed except for what I’ve paid out of pocket because I wasn’t willing to let my wife drive unsafe.

I recommend Cincinnati Insurance. Great company. No questions, no hassles, shit just gets paid and done. It costs a little more, but hey, you get what you pay for. And I really hate hassles.

First car was a 91 Buick Regal. Nothin fancy but it had that 3.8 liter V6 that GM ran for years. From the perspective of 16YO Wynn, the thing screamed. Plus it had a gigantic back bench seat with soft and plush blue almost velveteen fabric. That bench seat got some mileage with the “whores on the hill” across the street (AKA Notre Dame Pandas). Now, I am a shell of that formerly young, virile and strapping man.

Was good to finally meet WCC, even if in passing as I was hustling out of happy hour to go pick up my adoring children. He is a handsome man.

More insurance companies should use this as their slogan, tbh. That's basically what LMICK sells.
