I think every small town has a gas station that serves the best breakfast. There's one back in Russell County that has eggs cooked to order, fried potatoes, pork tenderloin biscuits, chicken biscuits, white gravy, and chocolate gravy, along with all the traditional stuff and you can get a platter for $5.

Yes, what Llama said.

Forgot to put on a belt this morning. Walking around like Costanza in the nuthouse..:oops:

-735...you in the office today? Next delivery run out that way, I'd like to settle up with the House for the Bryant pool. Check for payment, cool? tia.
Running to the chiro and gym b/w 11:30-12:30. Other than that I'm in all day.

I'd rather not have played a blood rival in the Final Four, with them having a chance to end one of our greatest seasons of all time. Maybe that's just me though.

Although, the upside of playing rivals in the tournament is the extraordinary sweetness of winning.
Yes, but they weren't beating that team. UNC was the only team that could match us that year.

Wisconsin last year had our number... just waiting.

Actual cities do too, just have to look in the not-so-great parts of town.

Bonus points if they serve Pizza Puffs at lunch.

Gas station at Louden and Contract used to serve excellent breakfast sandwiches. Country ham, egg, cheese. Little store out Winchester Rd on one of my bike routes has a good flat top burger. I've stopped there a few times. We also have Old San Juan and Ramirez.

The only reason I really watch college basketball is b/c I was raised a Kentucky fan. B/c the product sucks these days, and has slowly been declining over the past few decades. So many better sports options out there. But I am who I am, so college basketball it is. I seriously wonder why the rest of the country watches though.

At best, CBB is the 5th most popular sport. If you want to count NASCAR and MMA, then they're both more popular than CBB too. And probably soccer. People love the tournament because of gambol and office bracket pools, just like fantasy football made NFL so popular. The difference being that fantasy football makes the entire season relevant and interesting.

Not a popular take in GYERO, but I feel the same. The game today is almost unrecognizable compared to what we grew up watching. Grind it out style of play, micro-management, flopping as a defensive strategy, etc.

Charles Barkley was talking about the micromanagement of college basketball after the Virginia meltdown yesterday. And he was spot on. College coaches manage every single second of a game on the sidelines, and they don't adapt...they rarely change their strategy even though their strategy is getting them beat. I love Calipari and wouldn't have anyone else at coach, but his micromanagement is his achilles heel, and has probably cost him 2-3 Championships over the years. Sometimes it's better to just roll the ball out there and let your horses do their thing...with limitations of course. Adolph Rupp in the late 40s and early 50s won games b/c his players were better than the other players. His horses were bigger stronger faster and he let them do their thing.

-Looking forward to bringing G up for a Reds game. For all the things they do wrong it seems like they take care of the churrin pretty well. Plus I gotsta sport that sweet Eric Davis T. Hopefully before it gets too hot. Maybe we can get a few of the other GYERO fams to meet us out there.

-WCC, pretty sure MCF and I will be at Keeneland on the 15th. Still working out the details with sitters and stuff. You all staying? Need us to get you clubhouse passes?


We're in.

Which Davis shirt did you get, 44 Magnum? That one is awesome.

I'm going to pick up a Larkin shirt. Either MVP, The Cincinnati Kid or both.

* Marge has never been to Keeneland. We're going to head down on a weekday in the next couple of weeks.

* Picked up my new mower on Friday. Troy-Built with a Honda engine. It was a helluva deal at Lowe's that I couldn't pass up. It has a cool deck wash feature that you hook your hose up to to clean everything off when you are done. I dig it.

* Going to take my dad down to LBL sometime in the next couple of weeks for a little fishing. Pretty pumped about that.

* I made some goetta/egg casserole muffins for Easter brunch yesterday. WAF.

* What am I looking at to finish my basement? It is pretty big. I'm going to keep some of it unfinished for storage, but I'm going to have a workout area, a bar area with a basketball court type floor, a half bath and a family room. $40k?

Who gives AF about 'most popular'?

Luke Bryan is the "most popular" country artist. Dancing with the Stars is the most 'popular' TV show. Myrtle Beach is the "most popular" beach.


That doesn't help your argument that college basket ball OMGSUCKSLOL! Sorry.

Pretty sure CBB is right where (or within a spot) of where it's always been in terms of nationwide popularity or whatever. Even the hardest core of NFL (or pick your sport) fans are generally in agreement that the NCAAT is the best event in sports.

I worshipped Roller Derby on TV when I was little. What did that come on, USA or something?

Back when it was an actual sport (lol) and not some novelty thing for busty babes.

The prizes on the Grand Prize Game were always a bit weird. I assumed it was the kind of stuff that was a big deal at Chicagoland area drugstores.

"Enjoy your new Slonky! Like a Slinky, but longer and less well made!"

Mad Max: Fury Road, Anth?

I think the hype is based on it being an unapologetic R-rated action movie that is extremely well done, along with the nostalgia factor.

It scratches an itch that hasn't been scratched in many years and hopefully recalibrates Hollywood a bit. Instead of PG-13 "action" movies that show 0 blood, have 2 cuss words, and a male *** as the extent of nudity, they'll see that R-rated action movies can still bring in money, and they'll make more good ones.

I wouldn't be shocked if Dead Pool was allowed to be more Dead Poolish by the studio because of Fury Road's success.

2 – The Thomas Bryant cradling was weird. There is very little to say about this odd episode other than it’s hard to imagine a high school player or parent of a recruit that would not be off-put by Crean cradling freshman Thomas Bryant’s head after the Hoosiers loss to North Carolina. That it happened – for five minutes – is strange. That it was done in front of cameras was a poor choice.

Lol at the Marshall/Vandy rumors. He's passed up plenty of opps, can't see him leaving for that.


I do think he should be looking at any legit offers though, as his shine may wear off over the next few seasons. He loses Van Fleet, Baker, Wessel, Grady this year...gonna be a pretty big drop off next year from the past several.

Bet he'd taken IU if Crean had tanked this year as it looked like he was going to early.

I thought 300 was a fantastic movie, but that was about Zach Snyder's best effort. I thought Watchmen was meh, and Sucker Punch owes every cent that movie made to whoever made the trailer. If people had really known that movie was such a turd, it wouldn't have made a dime.

Another great thing about basketball being over is that we can now talk about horrible movies from our youth.
