I think the glasses are overrated but I couldn't agree more about the fact that there is no need to chill your whiskey.

Yes, any glass is fine. I enjoy drinking whiskey at home out of special glasses made to focus the nose, but that's completely extraneous. One of the best whiskey experiences of my life was the night before a wedding, drinking a 32 year old Springbank out of hotel water glasses. The glass doesn't matter. The whiskey does.

Yeah, I've got some special glasses also that are supposed to do the same for the nose but all I ever think when I use them is that I'm disappointed that they don't hold enough to be worth a damn.

I have no problem drinking my whiskey two ounces at a time when I've got the bottle sitting right there and I can drink it as continuously as I want to.

However, I'm primarily a beer drinker, who hits the whiskey intermittently, for flavor and tastiness rather than efficacy. So I regard small portions of whiskey as a generally good thing. Maybe twice a year I have a whiskey night where everything is amazing and I don't get out of bed until mid afternoon the next day. But most of the time the last thing I think about whiskey is that its delivery mechanism is too inefficient though.

That's my problem, I just drink too much of the damn stuff on a regular basis. Luckily I enjoyed the hell outta today (minus the 2nd half of a certain basketball game) and tomorrow is going to rainy and chitty, so I don't care how late I sleep.

I'm pretty sure that we would be beautiful together.

Considering I just went to my closet and pulled this down, I think you're right.

Bracketology has us as an 11 playing 6 Oklahoma... slated to play 3 Louisville in round two. Eek.

The way that you avoid watered down whiskey is just to drink extraordinary whiskey and drink it neat. It's not supposed to be cold, because cold numbs flavor. My wife drinks her whiskey straight up. You can too. You don't need whiskey cubes. Get some good whiskey glasses and drink it like a man.

Verc, buddy I'm not stowing it away in the deep freezer like the common red. Talking 2 to 3 cubes here. A nice slight chill. Not get me wrong I drink plenty of the room temp whiskey, but there is more than one way to skin a cat.

It would be ridiculous if Louisville is a 3.. They are probably the second best team in the country right now

Lunardi has been arguing this all night, and I just don't see it. He says they are, at best, a two seed. I think UofL may be on their way to a second championship in a row.

ESPN.com has UT as an option for "Which bubble team is most deserving" poll...

Can you imagine if we got left out again?

Are there any reputable people leaning towards us being left out? After the past couple weeks, plus a win in the SEC tourney, I thought us being in the field was pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Everyone I have heard asked says we are squarely in. Although I saw last night that with Providence winning and stealing a berth, it moved UT back to the fist team on the "Last 4 in" list.

I can't imagine a scenario where we aren't in the tourney but I'm afraid we might slide back into the whole play in game on Tuesday night BS.
