I'll gladly go to softball or volleyball or swimming or rowing or any other women's sport.

IMO…. It is how he coaches them…. To win in the tourney….you have to play confident and loose…. We seem to always play tight…. The very next game that Michigan played… they only scored 55 points…. Hunter Dickerson who scored 27 against us only had 15 in the next game…. He was 6-16 versus 8-13 against us… he also was 3-5 from 3 against us while only attempting 1 (which he missed) the next game…. Amazing what happens when you guard him.

Dickerson only made 21 threes all last season.

I haven’t seen that. But Duke hasn’t scheduled them for years. They play in the neutral site games, on the road in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge, and everything else at home. I would guess that it being Arizona makes it a big reason for this one.

Duke basketball adds stunning home-and-home series to schedule

So was it the coaches fault that Michigan shot poorly their next game?

That is stone cold. LMAO.

Don’t you just feel good all under

I’ve seen OLD Copperheads that color. Beware.

Who are you trying to kid here? No one can spot a copperhead. I’m not sure they exist.

Just when you are tempted to count Team USA out, Great Britain shocks Colombia and Canada decides to start a 19-year-old against Team USA.

4-0 early - hope we pile it on

You near the coast? Looks like a Southern watersnake (Nerodia fasciata)

Harmless Southern watersnake (Nerodia fasciata). Eats fish and frogs. Shame to hear the outcome, but it happens. That's how we learn.

Cottonmouths tend to swim with their head and body exposed. Water snakes only the head is out of the water. Poisonous in Tenn, have slit pupil eyes like a cat, non-poison have round pupils like a human. Sounds like you made a good decision.

The swimming part is actually a popular myth. Though vipers tend to ride higher, all snakes can swim on top of or below the surface. They control their own buoyancy. Some harmless species like hognoses usually swim entirely on top of the water if they have to cross something, and they often get mistaken for a dangerous snake. Cottonmouths can sit on the bottom of a pond or creek if they want.

@SmokinBob here's a comparison between the Florida cottonmouth and the Southern watersnake. They're often mistaken for each other. You have both of these in North Florida. Note the watersnake is flattening it's head to mimic a dangerous snake. Easiest way to tell the difference if you're just learning is that watersnakes have vertical bars on their mouths and the cottonmouth has a "Zorro" mask across it's face/eye like a raccoon.

12-1 headed to the top of the third

I feel reasonably confident Team USA has this one - off to bed

Mr. @SmokinBob did the right thing. Snakes shouldn't be playing tricks like that.


*It looked wide enough to be a cotton mouth to me

Florida cottonmouth is usually doing something insane like burnouts, waffle stomping, or fightin', cause Florida.
