  • How do the Grizz keep forgetting to go inside.

    They go inside. They win.

    They shoot jumpers. They lose.

    It's really pretty simple.

    I've actually went back and read some of the book this past week. It's been so long since I read Clash of Kings. I'm so pumped to see how they pull the remaining two deaths in Harrenhal for Arya.... especially the 3rd one.

    So true! A bad day on the golf course is a good day no matter what. Kaitlyn and I had a rough day today. Didn't make a putt all day long and ended up finishing second by two strokes but I got to play golf with my daughter for two days so life is good. All you new parents out there, enjoy your kids while they are young because they grow up oh so fast!

  • I've never understood the cheering for conference rivals just because they are in the same conference. I hate Alabama, I hate Florida, I hate Georgia, I hate Kentucky, I hate I think you get the point. I cheer for Tennessee and pretty much whoever is playing those teams. And if two of those teams are playing each other or some other combination of those teams vs. say an Ohio State I cheer for a tie w/ a ton of injuries. Not life threatening or real serious injuries, but just enough to derail their seasons and make their cheesed*ck fans cry a little bit. That is all.

    It's the idea that if your conference looks stronger, you look stronger (unless you're Vandy because Vandy never looks strong). I mean, could we argue that the SEC is THE conference to beat if we didn't have so many recent titles? That's my opinion, anyway. But I've been drinking margaritas since noon, what do I know? shrug

  • Oh I totally understand why people do feel that way. I just meant that I can't muster up the strength to cheer for those losers. I mean every time I see fans wearing apparel from above said teams my first impulse is to bitch slap them. In fact I almost enjoy watching Florda lose as much as I enjoy watching our Vols win. I understand that b/c of this stupid window dressing that the BCS has created makes it necessary to look good to have a chance at a title. Which is another reason to hate the BCS even more in my opinion just for the simple fact I am supposed to have to cheer for those sorry ass schools to pump up the public opinion of my team.

    One day, some idiot's gonna try to make posting while intoxicated (PWI) a crime. On that day, the idiot will be flamed like nobody has ever been flamed in the history of the internet, and I will be among the first to call them an idiot to their face.
