Sipping on a little whiskey and still thinking about Josh Richardson pulling the jersey up over his face as he walked off the floor for the last time, you guys.

Yeah that was tough. Hate that he had to go out like that. Dude had a chance to graduate early and decided to stay. He'll be one of the more loved basketball players in recent memory for UT

The fact that Richardson was a spare part until Iowa last year might be the most damning thing about Cuonzo's whole tenure here. He deserved better.

And next year I expect to be saying something similar about Armani Moore.

It was a formative movie for me a quarter of a century ago. Not sure how it will play for the first time in the modern era when nothing's shocking anymore.

It's very funny, very dark, and ultimately very bleak. The ending is a giant, half-hour long bummer, but given the movie, it sort of has to be.

Probably the most quotable movie I've ever seen. Everyone on my dorm floor was obsessed with it my freshman year. Probably five percent of our dialogue was quotes from that movie.

It's two acts. The first act is in basic training. Hilariously funny.....and then explodes in a dark conclusion. The second act is in Vietnam. Again, mostly hilariously funny.....and then again, a dark, brutal ending.

Most of Kubrick's movies are about the same basic theme: how man builds systems that then make men inhuman. This is about the war machine. I think it's spectacular; I can't wait to watch it with my son someday. Six or seven more years, I guess.

The end of the first act is one of the most shocking, graphic things I've ever seen on film.

New hitting coach suggested Chris Johnson lower his hands? These guys get paid? Every hitting coach he's had prior to this got paid? Chris Johnson gets paid??

Morons.
