1. Where the fuck you been, man?

2. Thank you G'Town for blowing up both of my brackets. I'm never putting my faith in Coach Thompson The Lesser again.

What time is Kentucky's game??? :mrgreen: BTW, was impressed with the speed and heart of Western. If Kentucky had played with that much gumption all season, they would have made the big dance. Western would have beaten UK by 20 if they had played this year.

I don't know why every year when I make my picks I forget that Georgetown always shits the bed in the tournament. I didn't have them as final four but pretty far. Kudos to FGCU's coach for having his kids play with no fear and for marrying a super model.

NIT UPDATE: Alabama 32, Stanford 24 - at the half.

Tune-in to ESPN for the second half in about 10 minutes for the exciting conclusion of the Titanic Tilt from T-Town!

Old news, crotch....


Back to exciting NIT talk.


They said today that there were 302 Division 1 teams with more experience than Alabama at the start of the year. This year's team has 1 senior and he's injured. We return everyone else. So, our 4 sophomores who got the bulk of playing for Bama will be experienced juniors next year and unless Trevor Releford decides to go pro, we will be a decent team in 2013-14. And for that reason, I would love to see these kids get a couple more wins in the NIT.

Go ahead and put it in the 'Not that prediction thread' - Bama heads into the NCAA next year with 25+ wins.

also on the list - Tennessee, Arizona, Marquette

Late January, I drove overnight to meet my mother at her doctor to insist the surgeon who had done a minor hernia repair refer her for a gastrointestinal workup. He told her she had ovarian cancer. My mother let out a primal wail. It was terrible. He was going to send her home but based on my request (and that I am a physician), he put her in the hospital. As it turns out, she had pulmonary emboli throughout every aspect of her lungs. Originally, they weren't even going to investigate (the nurses notes were suggesting palliative care). But when they found out who I was (and my brother the internist, and my BIL who runs 5 hospitals in Oakland, Ca), they decided to do a full work-up. I've just been dealing with this since then.

I've stopped in a few times, just couldn't bring myself to post, although when goldie said Mama Curry was ugly, I almost came on and reamed his ass. That's one MILF that I really would LtF.

Hope things get better. Found out Thursday that my moms cancer has spread to her liver. Her best friend is in town from Chicago this weekend. I'll tell her once she leaves. Hang in their. Be strong. Been doing this for awhile now. It gets no easier.
