Take that Rick!

On Unsportsmanlike with Evan, Canty and Michelle. Basically agreeing that over the past 25 years, as many or more championships as any of the teams considered as 21st century sports dynasties. @9:49 https://www.espn.com/radio/play/_/id/39905195

Just learned this morning that one of my favorite musical artists passed back on 3/10. This one hurts. First heard him back with the Waterboys in '83. After he split with them, saw World Party's first tour at Toad's in '86. Owned everything he put out and still play his music often. Have been...

Dude still seemed youthful on stage, but apparently 74 was all the way for him. RIP Raspberry man.

Started yesterday. I do the Wordle thread daily and typically just copy my solve as a .png file to clipboard, then paste it into the thread. Couldn't do that yesterday or today. I then tried converting the .png to a .jpg and got a server error message. What's going on with this?

Not UConn, but thought its pearl anniversary should be celebrated.

Just throwing up a thread for anyone who wishes to comment on the game, ads, entertainment, announcers, or whatever the hell is annoying you. For me, I've just lost all respect for Messi. Drink a real beer, dude.

No Haiku thread yet? This is no time to slack off Stop Devin Carter

This was a sad surprise to learn this morning. Dude was a fantastic actor. Died suddenly at 75. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/30/arts/tom-wilkinson-dead.html

It's kind of annoying to suddenly get a ton of messages while browsing BY about "please support us" when you've gone a year with no ads. Happy to contribute each year, but a warning a week or more out would be nice.

Apologies if this was already posted, but I didn't see a thread or posted in any of the postgame threads.

Does the recruit have any say in the agenda for the visit? I've always been a "let's get straight to the point" kinda guy. If I were visiting a campus, I'd have a set of priorities that would include looking at the training facilities, where would I live, where/what would I eat, conversations...

Have we ever had a top 10 QB in any week? https://www.espn.com/college-football/qbr/_/view/weekly

hell, we're mere amateurs with our gripes compared to the guys on the paid board at Panther-Lair. Here's just a couple of examples: and then there's this, which is a level of disgust I hope we never see here: They hate OC Cignetti too for bringing Jurkovec to Pitt, but man, I don't think...

On NC State's first drive... how was this called a first down, and once it was, why was it not challenged? Was Mora afraid to use his challenge so early? Was there some view that indicated the runner made the first down (hard to believe). Easily a half yard or more short. Granted, NC State...

A legendary talent. So many great roles from "The Russians Are Coming" thru "The Kominsky Method", including my favorite, "The In-Laws". Of course a great dramatic actor as well, evidenced by "Glengarry Glen Ross". And even in small parts, he could steal the show, like in "So I Married An Axe...

Best of NL and AL as Pirates (20-8) visit Tampa Bay (23-5) for 3 games. Who ya got?

From The Athletic: How Dan Hurley’s trust in his UConn players brought out his calmer sideline side Great article. I finally broke down and upgraded my free NYT account to paid, which includes The Athletic. Been well worth it. backdoor

In case you wanted to tune in. Bottom 9th, Japan up 3-2. Ohtani walked first batter, Trout up third. Betts up now. update: Betts grounded into DP. Trout up for the tie. update 2: Trout Ks. Japan is world champion. Don't know if we'll ever see that matchup again, but kudos to the WBC for...

Figured a thread was needed. I do not like Pitt tonight. Miss St. is a horrible offensive team, but they rebound and defend the perimeter well. Federiko has a knee boo-boo and is a game time decision. Pitt's other bigs, the Diaz twins, are sticks that can shoot well, but provide little...

I had no idea this could happen, but apparently rat snakes can climb. Am having siding installed as annual repeated attacks on my abode's cedar planks have taken their toll. The crew found this while removing a fascia board that was on the level between my office floor and family room ceiling...

Baylor was up on Okla St. 67-50 late in 2nd half. Okla St drained several threes for a 15-2 run to get to 69-65 with half a minute left. Baylor held, making its FTs to win by six 74-68.

Seminal guitarist and founder (with Richard Hell) of the influential band Television, one of the more musically adept bands to come out of CBGBs in the 70s. Only really had a cult following in US, but had a bigger impact in the UK and Europe where they had a few hits. Long time partner of Patti...

February 4 @ G'Town - a team UConn should beat with one good half. Give AJax a goal of 20 points, at least half must be in the paint. Run plays specifically for him. Make sure he knows it's for purposes of screwing up every BE coach's plans on how to play him, thus good for the team. AJax is a...

Despite the current woes, I want to thank DH for rekindling my love of college hoops. While I pretty much always watched UConn games throughout the down years, the knowledge that we weren't going anywhere took away my motivation to watching what other top teams were doing. Why rub it in. With...

Izzo is employing a strategy to let Edey eat and stop Purdue's perimeter shooters. It's been working for the most part when Purdue is in their half court offense but not so much in transition. MSU had a 4 pt lead for a bit after halftime, but Purdue on top by 4 currently (11 mins left), in a...

Here's the difference between Premiership and US sports... Can you imagine this happening at Rupp over Cal or with Jets fans over no playoffs in forever? Everton directors to miss match over safety threat

I would've stood in line to buy a shirt with Rod mashing Laettner's head into the floor.

End of the Vikings-Bills game is amazing. Bills up 27-23 with a minute left. Vikings have 4th and a couple of inches for a TD. Bills stuff the QB sneak, take over on downs. Bills try their own QB sneak to buy a couple of feet to work with and fumble in the end zone on bad snap. Vikings recover...

The Sledge-O-Matic has been silenced. "If 'con' is the opposite of 'pro', then in Congress the opposite of progress?"

It's only been done five times previously in MLB history - Pirates win 1-0 despite being no-hit. Reds' manager was going to let Greene complete the game until he walked two in bottom of 8th and hit 118 pitches with only one out. Reliever walked his first batter to load the bases, then a high...

Just wanted to get a feel for who buys into this alcoholic marketing scheme and who just ignores it. Personally, while I recognize it's a creation for the sole purpose of selling alcohol, I happen to like alcohol and will run with it. I'm drinking a Paloma as I type this, lol.

16 entries, can't really tell the seeds, but I'm going with "Bus." Only because "In your pants" didn't make the field.

If you're in a warm clime and have been grilling all year, we don't need to hear it :p It's been over 60 a couple of times here in Pgh, but rainy. Today it hit 72 and weather was great, so fired up grill for first time in 2022. Bought some asparagus on sale ($1.99/lb!) and a sirloin flap...

But showed why he's the GOAT. Down 27-3 well into 3Q, Bucs tied it with 0:48 left. But Stafford hit a bomb to set up last second FG. What a game!
