I just ran some numbers, and yikes. Since 1999, Duke is 17-6 against UNC in games played outside of Cameron (road and neutral).

Re: A non-masters/majors golf thread 2014/2015

I want to love the Pebble Beach tournament but it's just so damn awkward. Phil hits a big shot and then you have to wait 15 minutes for Ray Romano and some CEO to hit.


ETA: Jesus. How did Phil blow that? Ryder Cup season starting early.

My rule is, carry enough cash so that the mugger doesn't get pissed off. That's its only purpose these days. Not being a shithead to small businesses is a pretty solid one too.

Did I declare the Knicks fun, on this website, like a month ago? Since then Carmelo and KP both got hurt and they went about 2-31. I assume Phil calls Bob Myers and asks him which one he can have. (And that Phil will know it's sarcasm when Myers says Mark Jackson)
