Was doing some internet surfing earlier and apparently Joseph Goebbels secretary died over the weekend at age 105. One Hundred and Five. This gal was in the bunker with them and everything, and then just stayed in Germany and chiiled after the war.

Supposedly kept quiet aside from doing like 1 interview a few years ago when she turned 100.
I imagine most of Goebbels' staff, if they survived the war and Nuremberg and such, kept fairly quiet afterwards.

Kid is sticking with the Tide. (IMO)

But we did just get a DE with an offer from the Gators.

Did UF actually offer him? Regardless their recruiting is about as bad as its been in a long time so that's not a huge deal.

Kid sounds like a project, which is fine, but I don't know if he's a big get on paper.

I approve of New Orleans' Basilica as a great destination wedding spot top to bottom: a perfect setup for strolling conversations to catch up with friends while boozing, awesome rehearsal dinner spot next door, second line from the Basilica to the reception (JAX?), great creole wedding food, and, to top it off, rolling through disgusting-***, Saturday night Bourbon street in a tuxedo (you don't own) to round it out.

Plus my buddy, the groom, is a 610 Stomper so they graced our presence with some routines on the dance floor.

Staying Cathedral-adjacent in the French Quarter was great "wedding logistics-wise." But, having left my wife at home to split a windowless room with a college buddy at the Place D'Arms, I ended up catting around* with the groom's younger brothers and cousins after my friends dropped out every night - and I still feel exactly how you think I would after that.

I'm good for a decade on my French Quarter quota.

I wouldn't want a kid that's so dumb he would turn down Alabama for Kentucky lol

Garry Parrish was falling all over himself to talk about how bill self texted him on his last podcast. Self is such a awesome dude apparently- he even knows mags!

Amazing how much Self has those geeks in his back pocket.

Dakich calling these ACC games is great. He's shitting all over the refs. Saying the kind of stuff the ESPN guys typically dance around.

He is usually pretty good, although tonight he suggested that part of the Grayson Allen backlash is that Duke is always good and people want to find reasons to hate them. [eyeroll]

The callback to Randolph Childress reminds me of the 1993 NCAAT game. I remember being worried that he & Rogers would perhaps give us trouble and we destroyed them from the tip. Quick stat check - we were 16-24 from 3 that game. One of our best games I remember seeing...

Beating people into submission five minutes into the tournament game. Think we were beating FSU 32-4. Bobby Sura had zero chance.

It felt like we were the best team. Assuming UK was the favorite in that game.

Is the '93 team the most underrated post-Sutton team in hindsight? Got beat in a barnburner by a loaded Fab 5 team but I still believe they were the best team in the country that year. Played so well together.
Dale Brown... man. He was the best defender in the country. That crossover from Mash against MU. That was the first team I was fanatical about. We should have won that title.

Blew our load against Florida St in the Elite 8. Looked lethargic and tight. Ford had no shot at checking Jalen Rose. None.

Brown goes down... Game over.

I'd say the 93 team is right. Great memories.

Another group that doesn't get mentioned as much is the 2003 team with the linked highlights a few pages back. They weren't necessarily underrated, but that group killed teams in a different way. They made teams (like Florida in that game) want to stop playing due to their defense. The ball-line D got its deserved criticism later when we didn't have the players we needed, but that Hawk/Fitch/Daniels/Bogans group played great together. Damn that Bogans ankle and Dwyane/Dwayne Wade.

We definitely were "off" in the semi against Michigan. Didn't even resemble the team that ran through the SEC Tournament and first 4 games of the NCAAT. But, it still took Dale Brown's injury, Mashburn fouling out, and what Jalen Rose called Michigan's best game of the year to beat that team.

Absolutely. And like Vern, that loss hurt more than Duke 92' for me. Mash my all time favorite cat and Ford, my hometown hero (all the follow up Ford hater posts can get preemptively pumped). That team was great.

Dale Brown getting hurt and Mash's fifth foul, which was total BS, did them in.

I remember getting ultra redass in 93 in that late season game at Knoxville. UT was at the foul line late and missed but Corey Allen pushed Martinez in the back, iirc, and got the putback And 1 to seal the win. I damn near lost it.

It was cool though. We annihilated them a few weeks later in SEC tourney at Rupp 101-40 when Svoboda outscored Allen Houston 3-2. That was satisfying.
