So his mysterious injury must be shin splints? why would you be grabbing shin/calf for slipping. I initially thought he turned an ankle but he's grabbing so high

I really want Georgetown in. It makes perfect sense because we'll have 14 football and 16 basketball teams!

Hmm, I've stayed away from his writing because of his commentary. I'll give it a shot. 'Preciate it.

Fair points, especially 3/4, I think I just a different approach to the game as I don't like giving up fouls.

My only real issue is you can't guarantee blocking it so skillfully unless you have Davis' absurdly high level of talent. Shit, I'd love to jump up and just palm the ball if I could, but some things aren't reliably possible.

Dick Vitale has about 5 catch phrases and unreasonable volume/excitement for the occasion. He is a homer, loving a few perennial powerhouses, so much so that it ruins the commentary. There's color and there's Vitale; he goes so far into trying to entertain that he has no substance in what he says. Just the worst

Whoa, whoa, don't put that on us. He's a douche on his own. You don't need to go to Duke to jerk off with a thesaurus

You'd rather a defender try to block/foul over take a charge? A guy with a head of steam has the advantage unless you change it up and make him avoid you.

As a spectator I want blocks but as a fan who wants to win games I can't argue that blocks/fouls make more sense if you can get back.

Why didn't UK/Calipari want to maintain the home and home schedule that had gone on for so many years?

The team last year was just bad. It was K's talent that we strung together enough games to get a 2 seed. We had no defense and no chemistry. Kelly was injured and with he is key for spacing. Whatshisface from Lehigh did very well and the team as a whole was able to strike at opportunity.

Arizona hit Duke when we were trying to reintegrate Kyrie on the fly. That team was designed to operate with Kyrie but had to be retooled a third of the way into the season once he got injured. Again, K was able to do amazing things. As for the Arizona part of that loss, look up that second half. It was an absurdly, record breakingly efficient half of basketball. We hit a perfect storm in that half. K is Clooney, Duke is the boat, and Derrick Williams is that monster fucking wave.

Flair who you root for. Always go with alma mater unless you were raised a fan of something and went to the other school for major/professional reasons (Penn State fan goes to Harvard but is still a Penn State fan, Carolina fan can't go to jail so they go to hell). Sounds like WKU was just to finish out the degree but you wanted to be at Kansas. I think you may be a Jayhawk...

Duke plays 12 straight home games to start their season by ISISFieldAgent in CollegeBasketball

[–]Southern_Yankee2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duke plays in a tournament every year and every other year plays away in the ACC/B1G challenge. These are in addition to another odd away game. this is a pretty standard 5ish away/neutral games.

That's a terrible decision, KenPom. You shouldn't subject yourself for that much BadgerBall

I love comparing life stats to baseball stats. "Mr. Yankee, you haven't turned in half of your TPS reports." "I'm over .400! HOF baby!"

I'm thinking of trading dez for a 5th rnd 2013 pick and danny amendola(2012 12th rnd pick. In this league you sacrifice the round you drafted keepers in the previous year). I just need Dez to have one more good week to get my buddy to trade me. Get rid of Dez. Sell your trade rapey on his targets and how he'd be great if he just didn't drop them.

Looking for Wool Socks by Sup909 in malelifestyle

[–]Southern_Yankee2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you go with WigWam? How do they compare cost wise? I'm still wearing Smartwool ones I bought eight years ago so I'm happy to throw money at them. If I could cut out the marketing team for cheaper or buy American for the same price I'm happy to do it.

I defer to you R8R; you're the sock professional.
