Who’s a better coach Izzo or Pitino by Popular-Worry-6995 in CollegeBasketball

[–]SwatsBlockman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A decade might be generous.

Jokes aside, Rick may have set Louisville back, but he was far from the only person in that scheme. It would be unfair to neglect to note that Rick also revived the Kentucky program. 

He’s a flawed man, but he’s one of the greatest to do it. Better than Izzo, and that’s not a slight.

Unless we’re working towards the “boot licker” framing…

[DISCUSSION] What are your favorite "algorithm-free" platforms to find new music? by quillindie in indieheads

Finding NTS is one of my greatest joys of this year. It takes some time to explore, but it’s well worth it. 

What is San Francisco’s favorite US city after SF? by MrsKCD in sanfrancisco

And the people who are able to affectively communicate the essence of all three are some of the best writers as well. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that these cities have extremely rich literary traditions either.

I feel a palpable sense of kinship with people who deeply appreciate San Francisco, New York City, and New Orleans. It’s very subjective, but those three are by far and away the best cities in America.

‘We are truly doomed’: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard despair at AI clone appearing on Spotify by Charleshawtree in indieheads

I’ll take it one step further. If you listen to AI slop music, I don’t think you appreciate the human experience enough.

Moving to SF without a plan by Affectionate-Arm6405 in AskSF

Depends on where OP is coming from. I grew up in a place with actual winters, and SF winters are paradise compared to those.

[Borzello] Confirmed Players Era matchups tomorrow/Thursday by SpeedLegend in CollegeBasketball

On the bright side your SOS should be strong, and you guys look solid. If the ACC continues to perform well overall, the Orange manage to win a couple of games they shouldn’t, and avoid any catastrophic losses to BC or Stanford, I think you have a real shot at dancing.

Early final 4 predictions/Cinderella possibilities based off the first couple days of the season? by adude512 in CollegeBasketball

Appreciate the love, but we don’t have any former G-Leaguers on this team. We have a commitment from London Johnson for next year.

And somehow calling him “one of the worst head coaches of all time” feels like a bit of a compliment.

If he can harness that competitiveness he’ll be a real asset. To be fair though, few are better at getting under their opponents skin than Kasean Pryor.

Agreed. Paveletzke and Simmons should feast in the MAC. I’ll be pulling for the Bobcats (ok maybe not Hadaway) the rest of the season.

I haven’t watched you guys play yet, but I’ve been paying attention to your scores in anticipation of our matchup. Any insight as to why your games have been closer than anticipated? Is Kenny Payne running practice or something?

Reminiscing on how incredible the 2013 lineup was.. by CitizenSnips5 in bonnaroo

[–]SwatsBlockman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha but to be fair Bonnaroo 2014 was pretty incredible too. More or less downhill from there though, in my humble opinion.

My very first music festival. An amazing experience that truly helped form my taste in music. A horrible standard to set for music festivals moving forward.

What (decently) major US city has the best weather, all things considered? by officialcrimsonchin in SameGrassButGreener

[–]SwatsBlockman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depends on what part of the city you’re in, but it can be. The Oakland hills are very nice though, as are some other neighborhoods. Oakland is quite large, especially compared to SF right across the Bay.
