Tonight isn't as bad.
Tonight isn't as bad.
Out there battling the professional scalpers last night after the two games was quite entertaining. Some seriously aggressive folks out there. Couple women attacking essentially every floppy banged ******* who walked out after the Ole Miss loss.
SECT was so much better at the Dome. Affordable. Accessible. Bigger crowd. Fun town. Tornadoes.
I remember it like it was yesterday... maybe it was yesterday... I was sitting at home in my easy chair. Things had been a little tense since my oldest had moved back in. She had been starting her senior year at Auburn University. I’m not going to church things up and tell you she was an honors student but she seemed to be on a path anyway. We had talked about grad school applications, trips she was taking with friends to football games, the usual stuff when we got the news that AU had been shut down, charter revoked, the whole deal. Something to do with a corruption scandal that started with a football player and went all the way to the BoT and higher ups in government. Some people pointed their fingers at jealous parties in Tuscaloosa, some a wild maverick of a casino owner, I don’t know how it all shook out but next thing I knew my oldest was back at home two semesters short of her bachelors and waiting to see if those previous semesters even counted. I remember picking her up on campus and driving her home. It was a long, quiet, uncertain drive home and when we pulled in the driveway it was all we could do to unload her stuff back into her room and hold it together. Her mother, bless her, went to pick up some dinner. I think she left so we wouldn’t see her cry if were being honest but turns out it was for the best. Because that very same day was the day everyone remembers- I got the same knock on the door millions of us got: it was the day Barack Obama showed up and took my guns. We all had seen the news and knew this was coming but to see the man himself show up on my doorstep, hands out, man that still feels like a punch in the gut. I heard they were all destroyed like they said, heard rumors he sent them down south to his buddies in Venezuela, don’t really care either way but talk about your bad timing.
Look at me, just rambling on. Anyway I was sitting in my easy chair watching the world go by when I overheard something on the radio about our hometown. I didn’t listen too closely because I was answering the doorbell. There stood two state troopers telling me I had 24 hours to leave my home. What’s this about? I asked and they told me that our state, Louisiana, had been shut down. Something to do with- get this- a basketball player. Well buddy let me tell you when it rains it pours. Walked outside and saw all of my neighbors getting the same news. We all kinda looked at each other, shrugged our shoulders, and started packing up. I mean what else were we supposed to do? The whole dang state was being cleared out for “storage” or some nonsense. Well, it’s always something, I guess...

I heard on Sportscenter this morning that Zion is ascending into Heaven tonight after his first dunk.
Yezzur.
It was for people that actually wanted to go to see the actual tournament. Not lushes who were looking for an excuse to get wasted, sit in overcrowded bars, hoping to come across tix.
As you can tell, I'm just super thrilled the next 40/42 years this thing will be held in Nashville. CONGRATS, KINDLY!!
Don't get me wrong...Nashville can be a fun town. But it's still upscale redneck in a mid-sized city. Going to Atlanta felt a little more cosmo...a bigger stage. And like Geese said, it was for the real fans who were just there for the basketball.
Friday 5s

Now that's old school rando's right there.
Nashville is a great town, if you can't have fun in Nashville that's on you. Some of you just act too cute.
What I liked about the Georgia Dome was the Chik-Fil-A blimp flying around and if you shot the blimp down you were allowed to feast on all of the Chik-Fil-A hiding inside.
Chalk me up for team Nola. Should be there at least once every 5 years.
Nashville is fine, don’t really miss being smashed together where you can barely move. Prices are stupid. My vacation last week was probably less expensive than the SECT.

I hear they call it "Nashvegas."

-Will Wade looks like a youth minister who is known for giving high school girls rides home after Wednesday night worship.
-I'm looking forward to the ESPN storylines about how the tripping player at Syracuse has matured and grown into an inspiring story by overcoming so much adversity in about a week or so. That's how this went down with the last tripper.
-Cats by eight tonight. Survive and advance. I just hope Reid Travis hasn't lost any of his explosiveness. :smiley:

Nashville is The Blender. Too overly accessible to casual UK fans, tiny contained area, small arena, fewer hotel rooms. Artificially high prices. Stuff it all in and mix it up.
Bridgestone Arena even has a giant blender out in front of it as a symbol.
Have had some great years there but every year is just too much.
ATL / NOLA, even Tampa is good as a one-off occasional change of pace.

Hear from my guy there’s a chance those prices could go up, keep that in GYERO
Zion looked no worse for the wear. I assume Travis will be hobbling around like an arthritic 80 year old man tonight. Probably sucking air like he’s taken up a two pack per day habit.
I’m still waiting to see if Zion is fully healthy before I really opine about Duke’s tourney chances. Last night wasn’t terribly convincing.

Explosive basketball player, founder of a thriving oil company, home of a national park, has a big room - is there anything this kid can't do?????????

Ha! I really enjoy the conversational tone of young writers. My 10-year old daughter does the same thing in her essays.
"Who knows, maybe your team will come up a winner"

No matter how hard I tried, there’s NO WAY that I’d be able to write a letter in cursive today. I’d be happy if I could remember how to write my name that way.
- agree that ATL > Nash with one caveat: I was drunker than Cooter Brown when the 'nader blew through and was so confused/angry about why I was being told to leave even while walking past escalators that looked like water features.
---> lass just patted me on the head and told me she'd explain on the way back to the telly.
-- Love the opus "Essay-E caftan"... got in trouble as a young elementary student in Taylor County for hurrying through my assignments and attempting to collaborate on a UK yearbook/historical binder complete with mostly stats that were readily available to anyone who wanted them. "As long as you make A's, you can keep doing it" is what Mr. McFarland told me.
--- Cats by 15-20 tonight... Kenny "flower bed" Walker urged us on after all.

Do they still teach kids to write cursive? Seems legitimately stupid.
