Let it be known that IU is losing by 20 just after Strokin said they could be a problem. Keep it up
Best 10 loss team in recent memory!
Have not, have you? How was it? Was thinking of going there for some of the first round games, checking out parlay for SEC tournament
If you want the state to have more money you can just cut them a check, Dallas.
Been to Parlay, it's a nice space downtown, nothing else is good anymore. I haven't been to the sportsbook yet. Debating going next weekend for the Conference Games on Saturday
I’m good at what I do. Have I mentioned how good UCLA looks?!?!? Mick Cronin taking that program to a new possible dynasty run. It’s time to worry about the Bruins!
A season, in summary:
We FINALLY made it. Cheers, gents.

Grew up with a guy who was embroiled in the Aunt Becky scandal. Dot com gazllionaire, dates super models, appearances at Burning Man and Coachella. Not sure where life failed him.
It’s March which means it’s the time period we should be judged on per Cal…. So let’s go win some f’n games.
When is the last time UK honored players of such high significance on Sr. Night? There should be ROARS for some of these dudes tonight . . . especially Oscar. BBN will shed some legitimate tears tonight . . . and then be ready to rip out people's souls in a couple of weeks.
- Welcome to the "why we do this" month, gang.
- Noticed last night during TAMU/Ole Miss that the ESPN announcers were positioned at the end of the scorer's table instead of across the floor. Always found that really awkward, especially since they were directly behind the area where Buzz Williams was standing. It had to affect what they said on-air, and there's no way he was immune to hearing what they were saying (although Buzz is a weirdo, so maybe he didn't notice).
- A couple of current mid-major coaches who I've always really liked, for no apparent reason: Tim Miles (San Jose State), John Groce (Akron). Both are perfect for their current situations, or at least programs on that same level.
- It already makes me pre-emptively angry that the NCAA is probably gonna expand the tournament in a couple of years.
- Notre Dame probably won't do it, but they should go after Brian Dutcher. The guy has killed it at San Diego State, but has roots in the Midwest, having served as Fischer's primary assistant at Michigan several years ago. He just wins. But programs usually do a pendulum swing with replacement hires, so I'm guessing they'll go younger instead.

It’s all relative Wayne. But I do wonder how much a guy that big would have to drink to blow that.
Wasn't that .197 test 2 hours after the crash? That is fire.
Old cheerleader crying moments into MOKH and dad wiping away tears at end while they get Happy back in a wheelchair, man if you don't feel that...

I see that it's the 40 year anniversary of the MASH finale. Curious, has any non baby boomer actually gone back and watched the series in its entirety? If so, what should I know about it?
It seems pretty culturally relevant, at least to the 20th century, yet I have no knowledge base of it. My folks didn't watch it, I don't think.

A young Wayne Dougan got stuck watching a lot of old reruns because they came on before opening pitch and during rain delays of Braves games on TBS:
- Sanford and Son: Liked the song; didn't get the show as a 10-year old. But I had to sit through it because it came on right before a 7:05 Braves start.
- Good Times: Liked it quite a bit, but it definitely went down hill when Amos left
- Jeffersons: Liked George Jefferson, thought the show was mid.
- MASH: Couldn't get into it at all. Worst of the bunch. Never made it through an episode.
It was required viewing for my dad every weeknight when I was a kid. He's probably seen each episode at least three times. Aired right after he'd watch the CBS Evening News with Cronkite/Rather. I remember thinking that for a "comedy", he didn't laugh all that much at it. Maybe once or twice an episode. As an adult, I've gone back and watched maybe a dozen or so episodes, and now I can see why he reacted (or didn't react) to it the way he did.
The comedy doesn't hold up, but the human drama element...all these characters in their 40's, dealing with being away from family, struggling with the uncertainty of war, mortality, dealing with different people, etc., that part still does. I didn't get it as a kid, but now I do.
Like I said, I don't make a point of watching it. But I have a better understanding of why it was such a cultural phenomenon for that generation. And the finale, even to a casual viewer like me, still packs a punch.

Slap a sun visor and some knee length khaki shorts on him and you couldn't tell him apart from your local golf course bulldyke.
The week of the Cornell game This New England Chap asshole had Mags on his Boston show and they kept playing banjo music leading up to the segment.
Mags got in there and ran circles around him and his co host basically pointing out the racial tones of the whole Ivy League do gooders vs the evil One and Done players from the inner city. Shaughnessy became so angry and frustrated during this segment and surprised that someone from Kentucky could come on their show and put them in their place like we’re all a bunch of inbred idiots.
Touch em.
Good stuff, Llama. So it wasn't a show about or even for boomers, but really the generation before?
That little fact about Mad Men always pleased me.

What am I missing? Girl staffer drove with a .197 and died. Just pointing what 3 or 4 others didn't.
The cadence of the dialogue in MASH just bugs me. Serious line, snide remark, serious line, something mildly sexual, etc. etc. ad nauseum. That's not an uncommon formula in sitcoms now, but at the time it might have been groundbreaking.
It's, as they say, fine.

Correct. But I think the experiences of my dad's generation, having experienced a lot of the same things during the Vietnam War, were closely reflected from the show being set during the Korean War. So it resonated with both generations.
First 3 years were funniest, the Trapper, Henry and, eventually, Frank left. Became what you said. A lot of that had to do with Alda writing a lot of the shows, I think. Dramedy.
Uncle would not let my cousins watch it. Korea was no joke!
What kind of minor procedure is so crucial that you have to have it the same day as Senior Day causing you to miss it.
Tell me you've quit without telling me you've quit.
I really didn’t think he had shut it down but now it’s obvious and one of the weirder moves in the Cal era. Not even going to walk through Senior Day?
Obviously there were circumstances with injuries and Cal benching Reeves for defense, but Wheeler played 34 and 26 minutes his last 2 games. Still seems odd to me that he would just flat out quit, but hard not to reach that conclusion.
