If you'd ever had the misfortune of reading one of his Twitter tirades, you'd change that judgement and remove the "Bit of" qualifier.

I know we had a Concerts thread back at the old old place...so I'll start a new one... Been seeing lots of shows here in the last month or so. Seems like all the touring acts come to Australia in Feb/March/April. So far I've seen: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis: Funny to see these guys after they've made...

There's a special level of lunacy in the Minnesota AD department. Remember they fired Glen Mason after going to bowl games for like 7 or 8 straight years. How'd that work out for them? One of the sports radio guys in Seattle used to say "Don't get tired of winning". Exactly what are the e...

The second picture in that gallery falls into the "Things you can't unsee" category...

At what point does Mark Few say "fuck this" and take millions to go coach in a power conference? They won't be offering millions if he waits too long. I think if he was going to leave, he would have done it a long time ago. Have we considered that maybe, just maybe, Mark Few really isn't ...

I bought a 40" inch Teac when I got here to Australia...1080p 120Hz....with a built in blu-ray player, and I like it. Great picture, lots of inputs (3 HDMI inputs). Works great.

Yep... Bestselling Nigerian novelist, essayist, poet and professor Chinua Achebe is dead. Achebe died on Thursday at a hospital in Boston following a prolonged illness. He was 82. Achebe’s 1958 debut novel ‘Things Fall Apart’ told the story of British colonialism from an African perspective and wen...

Caught a few minutes of that '81 final (Indiana with Isiah Thomas beating North Carolina with James Worthy and Sam Perkins) on ESPN Classic a few days ago. Great stuff. That game was played the same day that Reagan was shot. They postponed the Oscars, also scheduled for that night, but played the g...

Ah, that's it. Thanks Slolz. Lehigh knocking off Duke remains my favorite of the long-range upsets but the one I remember seeing, because the entire game was televised, first game of the day maybe, was Richmond knocking off Syracuse 20-some-odd years ago. Don't remember Cleveland State(14) beating ...

I just finished this: http://cache0.bdcdn.net/assets/images/book/medium/9780/6796/9780679644880.jpg written by the guy who has the BaoHaus resturant in New York. The book got great writeups, but it pissed me off. The guy spents 75% of the book talking about how hard his life was growing up as the ki...

Smash....smash....SMASH!

Assuming you mean that dunk in the FGCU/Georgetown game, that was sick. I thought for sure the lob was too high, and it was going to go off his finger tips.

Georgetown is in DEEEEEP trouble...

Grantland did a "Made Me Giggle" style breakdown of this picture of the Harvard band.

I'm doing the bike commute here in Melbourne, and have been putting serious km's on my bike, about 200 a week or so. I have a Ridley (aluminum frame, with a carbon fork and carbon rear triangle) and Campy Centaur drive train and Campy Daytona brakes. I love it...stiff frame, and nice and responsive....

That ought to get you there, mate.

Thanks...found it...

My friend sent me the Alt-J album. I like it quite a bit....very moody and atmospheric...

The Swamp lives!
