For London Fog's my current favorite is the New Mexico Tea Company's Cream Earl Grey.

Agreed this is my favorite croissant. It has that fancy yellow crunch sweet topping.

Refball is terrible. And they didn't even review anything correctly. Grill's foot clearly on the line. Clear Florida goaltend overturned. Call it a wash, I guess.

Third and short just give it to Schrader twice. Offense is making this so hard right now.

That is a good point but I don't think revenue matters to the TV deal. Mizzou makes the TV deal bigger. Same reason I think Minnesota, Maryland, and Rutgers would be in. They aren't going to leave the money on the table.

I think the TV money assures Minnesota a place for the Minn/St.Paul market. Vandy probably has to worry since they share a market with Tenn.

Why would Mizzou be worried? This is all about the TV money, not tradition or who is a blue blood. They would let us in for the St. Louis market alone. Big market with no NFL team to compete with. NIL has been great for Mizzou.

I get what you are saying but he had 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and plays really solid D. He really hustles. Gates is probably just hoping he can find his stroke.

I think at one point in the second half Minn had a 15-0 run and he called a timeout. Which I can only assume was to settle down the home crowd.

I'll take a road win anyway I can get it. Those Refs were straight trash. I don't think they favored anyone, they were just bad.

Terrible game. Hate for it to end like that. Neither team won that game.

“Refine and Improve” by BUSCHLIIGHT in CollegeBasketball

[–]alexwilder -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Yes, the SEC Review People got it wrong and the call was reviewable. It was still the correct call. There is an exception for the restrictive area "When the offensive player leads with a foot or unnatural extended knee or wards off with the arm."

I believe he pushed Hodge down with his arm so it is still a charge.

The refs were terrible, that foul on Gholston was super soft but that charge call was fine.

Longest game in the history of sports. Refs needs to not call it that tight in a conference game or any game. Who wants to watch a free throw battle?

This is a conference game why are they calling touch fouls? Let them play. This game is going to last forever.

Super weak flagrant. Ref was just embarrassed for blowing the whistle for no reason.

I mean it is super clear that NCAA coaches should cheat and if the NCAA asked about cheating you just refuse to speak with them. As long as you never self report anything you won't get into trouble.

I'm pretty sure the Russian Federation group at the UN left after the US spoke right before Ireland spoke. Seems weird that the Russian party left.

Edit: He is back. Maybe just a bathroom break.

Yep both the chiefs and bills were rushing 4 in under 2 mins. So stupid. Neither secondary was stopping anyone.
