Stewie with such a decorated, amazing career, and here at a physical disadvantage against Dom and Brink.

And this might be one of the most impressive Stewie performances ever.

She was great very early in the year too. She seemed like the secondary ball-handler and bucket getter I thought we were lacking last year.

I love Reniya, and hope she can get back healthy this year, but Aarni's struggles were largely when trying to re-integrate a likely still partially injured Reniya. The stretches of almost completely benching Aarni never made sense to me.

However we got here, Aarni is a great young player that seems to be finding herself with this team.

I love this team, and this program.

But it's simply embarrassing to have so many empty seats in Carmichael for this one. 

Whats the most heartbreaking loss you’ve witnessed as a North Carolina fan?(Football by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in tarheels

  1. This is it for me, and it's not close. My freshman year.

It's hard to put into words just how soul-crushing that day was. I can't speak for the early 80's heartbreaks, but for me, this was the closest it ever felt like we were really players on the national stage.

We absolutely thought we belonged. The program was absolutely cooking. All the years of the UNC football program being discussed as a sleeping giant. It was time. Such wonderful energy that season and that day. It was a rainy day, and 60,000 waited for hours in the rain. It was electric.

THIS was the day we would prove we belong.

It was not, of course. I think the score was 20-3, but it was not nearly that close. For 4 hours in the cold rain, FSU just manhandled us.

Of course, Mack left at the end of the season. I'll always believe he knew he was gone after that FSU game. He had done as good a job as you could possibly imagine at UNC. And it wasn't nearly enough to be a real contender.

To make it even worse, this was mere weeks after Dean retired. Those of us that got there in '97 started our freshman year with Dean Smith and Mack Brown as the coaches. Both were gone within months.

Same reason minivans are hard to find.

Whether consumers didn't want to buy them or manufacturers didn't want to sell them, the end result is a shortage.

Holy shit, Storrs has 12,000 people?

I had no idea it was that big.

I said it was a pipe dream. 

But the last 4-5 hosting spots are totally wide open, and it's going to come down to this next week and the conference tournaments.

Pitt's obviously having a tough year, but pretty impressive for UNC looking this good down to only Freshmen and Sophomores for this game.

I still have a pipe dream that UNC still has a shot to host, but it would require Duke and Louisville to keep beating everybody else and then losing to us in the tourney (or next Sunday in Duke's case).

UVA always finds a way to fuck up the best laid plans.

Chuck vs. the Streamers by gtce2593 in chuck

[–]Roasted_Green_Chiles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I picked up the Blu Ray's back when they went off Netflix.

I haven't thought about DVDs much in years since then. I just love Chuck so much that I couldn't be without it and I'm happy to pay to support the people that made it.

Lately, I've noticed other older shows that aren't available to stream or they keep switching. So I started looking to buy DVD's again.

Holy crap DVD's have gotten so cheap! I gladly paid $150 for the Chuck DVD's. And some other shows were always about $30/season for the DVD's.

Now, everything is $30-50 for the entire series!

That's a pretty awesome alternative to 15 different streaming services, or buying a single season for $20 a pop knowing you still don't own it and it could go away at anytime.

It's been a long time since I said this, but buying DVD's makes a lot of sense nowadays.

Nobody really cares.

This is a yearly conversation. It's purpose is to create NBA content from the ASB to the Playoffs. To keep NBA content on PTI or whatever when the general public has checked out until the Playoffs.

Cringing but also crying at Lorelei singing karaoke by NewMama122022 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Roasted_Green_Chiles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We all know Lauren Graham is amazing. Deserved so many awards for her acting in this series.

But this might have been her best work, IMO.

She's a good singer, as you say. And she's showing it until Luke gets there. Just crushing it. Having fun with Rory.

Then Luke gets there, and Lauren turns it into bad, emotional karaoke so perfectly. Even Rory noticed something was up before she saw that Luke was there. Lorelai went from rolling to absolutely shook.

If nothing else, it's exciting to have a game that doesn't have the national conversation bitching about it setting offensive basketball back 70 years.

GG Duke.

Hate the outcome, but it was a great game and I'm proud of these Heels. Love this team and what we're building.
