That’s college basketball, if you’ve been paying attention. They should have 2 less losses from the last second shots in the Vandy and Mizzou games. That would be 24-7 and a very good regular season. Everyone should have taken it.

They have some talent that still needs development, and the hope was that the veterans could take over a game late on offense, which hasn’t quite happened.

I will be here to remind folks some day that some posters were disappointed and thought we stunk in a year where we go 22-9 and beat 3 top 10 teams.

Absolutely spoiled after watching baseball and football. There were a lot of pre-Barnes years where we did not even sniff the tournament. The injuries and luck shots derailed the record this year. They will get a decent seed and anything can happen subject to the committee selections.

Just found out last night my beautiful wife of 5 years and 13 year partner has never seen Goodfellas.


Had the divorce papers written up this afternoon.

You don't see a problem with the fact that you married her without knowing this?

When is she gonna watch it? I'd hold off on divorce until you see her reaction from watching it.

 

[peaygolf]

Agree, but I'ds have the papers ready and one foot out the door. ^^^^^^^

 

[Enki_Amenra]

well for future reference….in case I do…you can carry on the code and teach the way…

We need to do the 1 bet a day challenge and see how far we can go.

Day 1: Pick 1 bet you are certain is going to hit. Make the bet. Say $10

Day 2: pick 1 bet you are certain will hit. Use the original $10 bet + the winnings from day 1. Say $20

Day 3: repeat. $40

Day 4: $80

Day 5: $160

Day 6: $320

Day 7: $640

Continue til you lose, til you're too scared to bet the next amount, til you're happy with the winnings. . . or the ultimate goal: continue until the sportsbook will no longer take a bet the size you're trying to place.

I've gotten to 7 days before, it was around $550.

*I'm confident that, between all the people on here, we can find 1 bet a day that we all agree will hit.

I would rather see good defense on college basketball that the no defense nba. The last thing the college basketball game needs is a no defense league like the NBA.

 

[Devo182]

LVs 13 pt underdogs. So far hangin in there ️

 

[Devo182]

You'd be divorcing me too lol.

 

[GiggerVol]

Burke flashes his glove on a great diving stab. He can do it all.

 

[Devo182]

You think you know people. Next up, Devo learns his beautiful wife used to be a 326lb guy named Chuck.

Chuck is definitely a dude that has seen Goodfellas!

100%.

These folks would be over the ledge had they seen the 80s and 90s and Buzz Peterson UT bball teams. They don't get how good we have it right now. Barnes was a godsend.

 

[tnvols72]

2 sloppy plays

 

[Devo182]

You don't see a problem with the fact that you married her without knowing this?

It was miscommunication. I asked her before our wedding night and she said she had seen a few and I was one of them. Didn't get it at the time, but now realize she was being literal. I'm such a moran.

When is she gonna watch it? I'd hold off on divorce until you see her reaction from watching it.

I'll be strapping her down later Clockwork Orange-style. Hopefully her eyes get wide open with excitement watching it.

Need some advice VN..........

I collapsed a few weeks ago (blacked out for several minutes.) Found out I have AFib and need an ablation.

Has anyone had one? And did it help?


Thanks in advance.................

The cardiac ablation procedure is very successful. It removes an accessory electrical nerve pathway that is essentially causing your afib. It’s been a huge improvement for many patients since it can be essentially curative and eliminates the need for a pacemaker or medication. It isn’t appropriate for everyone with atrial fibrillation, but if you’re a candidate, then I would consider that as a much better treatment option. Hope that helps. Good luck with the ablation.

29 pts on 9/19 FGs and 10/12 from the stripe.

Puttin his team on his back.

Cleaned up real nice on Ted Lasso.

We would have to shoot 24 free throws before we could hit ten of them.

I’m 52 now. Had one about 8 years ago. It fixed my problem (random tachycardia).

Good luck.

@SoilVol i have a bag of 24-0-11 fertilizer I found under my house. I would like to not waste it. I just put down some pre-emergent and weed and feed type stuff. I’m not sure sure what that formula is designed for… spring/summer/fall/winter.. can I put this stuff down in about 6 weeks?

Go find some good bulk second year horse manure compost and dress your garden soil with it.

 

[Devo182]

That will be our downfall in the tourney. I have a hard time understanding how bad we are from the stripe.


Edit: we are 219th out of 363 teams. Bottom 40% of teams. Actually not as terrible as I expected

Minnesota is last at 61.7%

Chuck was a good dude. Always wondered what happened to him.

And one of the biggest things we'll miss with ZZ out if we're in a tight one at the end.

I know you probably don't want to go to Knoxville but check out Dr. James Cox at UT. He's a world leader in heart rhythm issues. Has a procedure named after him.

Theyve played 16 minutes of basketball, and SCAR has only been called for 9 fouls. I thought mens basketball refs were bad, but man womens are another level.
