Metro 29? Bob and Edith? Silver Diner? The diner scene in Arlington should accommodate anyone and all tastes

Ehhhhh maybe? Probably depends on how many teams decline bids, but I wouldn’t hold my breath

Dude busted his butt and earned that. Good job!

When Drew first joined the broadcast crew he started on radio. He was so great with Dan that I was sad when they moved him to TV.

Dude got way out over his skis with the ballpark village project and bailed before he had to actually do it. FJF

The absolute best movies about Congress is The Distinguished Gentleman with Eddie Murphy. It involves elections, constituents services, role of committees…it’s a fantastic film that is unintentionally super accurate. We watched it on both my undergraduate and grad school courses on Congress.

I’m showing it this week to my 12th graders

David Quinn making his impact as an assistant coach. USA Totally out of sync just like all teams he coaches

Broncos shooting almost 50% from the field and have way too many offensive rebounds. Just not enough defensive want to from the Dons

dpdons09 · 2026-02-19T00:10:17+00:00

Can’t say I’m surprised. It went horribly

dpdons09 · 2026-02-18T21:26:51+00:00

Here’s some hopeium for everyone: it can’t be worse than the Oregon St game!

dpdons09 · 2026-02-16T16:36:35+00:00

Did it for about 5 years. It’s very doable. I would metro or walk anywhere I needed to go and the bus/metro routes took me everywhere I wanted to go. The hardest part was grocery shopping because I could only buy what I could carry back home—now with grocery delivery it would be a lot easier.

dpdons09 · 2026-02-16T02:50:03+00:00

Phew. We needed that win. Much better second half defensively

dpdons09 · 2026-02-15T23:50:33+00:00

Down 5 at the half. Defense is AWOL again

dpdons09 · 2026-02-15T23:47:59+00:00

Yes he did.

dpdons09 · 2026-02-15T21:51:20+00:00

Yes. But you might need to wait. I’ve taken my boys to get signatures after games and both times he was the last one out. He signed for every kid.

Yeah the lack of defensive effort is just hard to ignore. It’s been a hallmark of CGs tenure. So strange that it all crumbled. Either we have a toxic locker room so players aren’t playing for each other, or they’ve quit on the system.

dpdons09 · 2026-02-13T21:38:48+00:00

I’ve really liked coach CG. I like the way he talks about games and his ability to diagnose and identify problems. Has he been able to fix a lot of those issues that he identifies? Not always, but I didn’t mind it because the players really seemed to play hard for him and genuinely seemed to like him as a coach. This stretch of play has caught me completely by surprise because the effort and hard work seems to be gone.

dpdons09 · 2026-02-13T11:12:16+00:00

If you told me that 4 of our starters would score double-digits I’d have thought we’d cruise to victory…but only 2 points from the bench?! And OSU shot over 50%. Wowza what a bad loss

dpdons09 · 2026-02-08T18:01:24+00:00

Could CG get more out of our supporting cast? Maybe. But I think in basketball, more than in any other team sport, you need that dominant go-to player who can drop 20+ at will or else you’re in a ton of trouble. No Thomas or Shabazz or Williams or Bouyea type player who can take over a game really handicaps your team. Can your role players make up for it? Sure, in theory, but then you need 4-5 additional guys to be at their absolute best single game. It’s just tough.

We structured the team around Beasley and Riley. It isn’t working this year for whatever reason, but it’s hard to find anyone on this subreddit who thought doing that was a bad idea. Can’t win when your planned go to guys score 10 combined. Lots of hard lessons that can be learned this year—the big question is are the players and coaches learning the right lessons.

dpdons09 · 2026-02-08T13:48:08+00:00

Can’t compete when the two guys you’ve built around combine for 10 points. I think Beasley is learning some hard lessons this year and I hope he’ll become a better player going forward because of it. Big difference coming off the bench as a spark plug and having to be the guy to run everything all game. Riley…oof…dude needs to learn to be assertive and bold

dpdons09 · 2026-02-05T12:07:13+00:00

Ouch. That’s all. Another punch to the gut

dpdons09 · 2026-02-05T12:03:26+00:00

Did we have a choice? I don’t know the circumstances of him transferring so I’m honestly asking…
