Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
So is it a distraction for Michigan State that Mateen Cleaves and Branden Dawson were both arrested in the past few days for sexual assault and domestic violence? Not a great week for Sparty.

NCAA Tournament 2016
I have to say that Virginia got a pretty good bracket, Michigan State aside. If we get that far, I'll worry about it then. I certainly like our teams better than what KU got. UConn in the second round. Maryland, a top-5 team earlier, as the 4. Cal, a team many think can make a run because of their r...

That German float reminded me that when I traveled to Europe a couple of weeks ago, I got asked a lot about our primaries in general, mostly about Trump.

Great, entertaining first half of basketball at the ACC tournament. The crowd is pretty close to split, so at least half of the building is making noise at all times. Great, Final Four type atmosphere.

Re: Championship Week
Yet if UVA wins today, it'll be five straight years without Duke or UNC winning. In fact, it would be five straight years with the title outside of the state of NC. I think the longest previous streak was 2 or 3 years.

Re: Better Call Saul thread
Mike does look really old to me and it's a bit distracting. He clearly comes across as an old man, but in BB, he still seemed like a total badass who could kick your ass if he wanted to. That's nearly as believable now (and it's at least a few years before the beginning of BB). Still, I love his cha...

Re: Championship Week
Wow. Buddy Hield takes about .1 too long to take his game winning half-court shot. I was rooting for WVU, because that's better for UVA (OK is fighting UVA for a #1 seed and UVA beat WVU earlier this year). But I feel bad for Hield. He just seems like the nicest kid.

Re: Championship Week
I think Brey is an excellent offensive coach. Great, even. His teams have often been shaky on defense, it's true. Overall, he's maintained a very high level of play and success without really having a lot of (any?) blue chip recruits. I think he qualifies as an very good, but not quite elite coach. ...

Re: Swamp Shopping Guide
The idea of buying a mattress online without lying on it first is kind of staggering to me. Like buying a car without at least sitting in it. Yeah, I don't think you really get a true sense for a mattress's comfort by lying on it for a few seconds in a store. I'd rather read reviews from a lot of p...
