Of course, I understand that there are jackasses in every fan base and that there's no way to silence them, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from using this to paint all UK fans with a broad brush of sass...

proactive in the sense that we made a point to call out these people and do it every time it happens.

I know what you meant, but again, I couldn't let that stop the sass. The sass shall not be shot...

Papa enjoyed his NC win.

According to ESPN, Harrison Barnes is the 1st rookie to score back-2-back 25 points (or more) games. Wonder how Gilcrest fared in the playoffs this year?

surely that's playoff games.

Yes, but still, not bad...

Tayshun Prince just had a nice dunk, nothing spectacular, just a standard dunk that you'd expect any 6'9" NBA player to make, and yet the announcers were like "I didn't know the old guy still had it in him". Old guy? How old is he? 33?? And he's the old guy?? If he's the old guy, I'm up for the rest home. Yes, I'm bitter...

no it's not. I knew in college that if Barnes gained some weight he'd be a beast.

hedge · Post by **hedge** » Wed May 15, 2013 11:36 pm

He is doing slightly better than I expected, but I'm not shocked by any means...

I'm bitter...

You don't know bitter. I come from bitter. I was born from bitter.

Now I'm envisioning the day (and it won't be that fucking long) when I'm watching an NBA game in the future and Barnes is going to dunk and the announcers are going to be like "Wow, I didn't know the old guy had it in him!" and I'm going to want to kill myself...

you probably griped after Dead shows that they played too many Bob songs. oh wait, that was me.

AugustWest · Post by **AugustWest** » Wed May 15, 2013 11:43 pm

I loved Bobby songs. I hated that Vince was louder in the mix than Jerry.

hedge · Post by **hedge** » Wed May 15, 2013 11:44 pm

If you could've heard Jerry during some of those shows, you wouldn't have been pissed they drowned him out...

I wasn't listening to Vince anyway.

I did download the 6-17-91 Giants Stadium show yesterday. That was pretty good for a '90s show. Dark Star jam/tease 3x but never played it. Of course, they had just played it in RFK 3 days earlier.

You know the Who riding the unicycle while playing some weird fucked up trombone at the Christmas party in How the Grinch Stole Christmas? That how Vince sounds to me. Blaat! Flump! Blerp!. Fuck Vince. 'd rather listen to tape of Jerry farting in his sleep than Vince.

Barnes is the 1st rookie to score back-to-back 25 points in the playoffs WITHOUT scoring 25 points or more in a single regular season game. That was the full quote.

Gilchrist scored 25 points in exactly two regular season games this season - Nov. 10 against Dallas and Dec. 19 against Phoenix.

Imagine a U*NC fan quoting data without including the most important qualifiers. who'd a thunk it? what are the odds Hedge took his quote from IC?
