The Swamp

The problem is that the replay they showed on TV didn't show the UConn girl's legs and was at an angle where it wasn't easy to see her movement. So it was easy for everyone to declare it a bad call. Especially because nobody wanted that possession to end on an offensive foul. But the live shot from ...

I think her biological alarm went off.

Holy shit!!!

Classic Chelsea. No lead is safe.

That's wild. I wonder if that happening on such a big stage led to so many coaches auto-sitting any player with 2 fouls in the first half. Some coaches will let a player get his 3rd, but leaving a star in with 3 fouls in the first half? That's criminal negligence.

This vid from Taiwan is wild.

Yes, but those teams generally have much more continuity from year to year. There's no rule that says you can't say on a soccer team for more than 4 years.

I don't know how closely the tournaments all work together, but if they set the NIT as an autobid for next year it would probably stop teams from backing out or not caring. I think that's a bad idea though. Teams change a lot from year to year, especially now with the new transfer rules. Why would ...

Yeah, I think it works. Ironically, that's the one song she takes no songwriting credit for even though she clearly rewrote most of it.

I'm on my second go through of Beyonce's new album. I like it, but I think calling it a country album is reductive. There are some country influences throughout, but if nobody told you ahead of time you were going to listen to a country album, I doubt many would think of it that way. BTW, one thing ...

Pretty unlikely to find snakes in the mountains this time of year, I’d think. Probably too early. (Although the high here today is supposed to be 87), so maybe I’m wrong.

Yeah, that was an impressive shooting performance, particularly in the 3rd, by Clark. I agree that Reece’s 5th foul was a bad call, but it didn’t really matter at that point. LSU wasn’t coming back. Btw, I don’t agree that Reece is close behind Clark. I’m not even sure she’s the best player in her o...

I was reading about Beyonce's interpretation of Jolene when I learned about this song. I'd never heard of it before, but it's great and hilarious. And from 1968.

I just love that the ad also features CJ McCollum who famously led Lehigh to a huge upset of Duke in the NCAA Tournament. I like to think K had no idea they were going to do that until he saw the commercial on TV the first time.

If they win it all, we have to talk about this being one of the most dominant stretches since UCLA right? They haven’t been challenged in 10 straight tourney games. Yeah, no question. At this point, the most recent comp might be that UNLV team that beat Duke by 30 in the finals and then steamrolled...

So, we didn’t really discuss Fargo. Absolute classic. As is Lebowski. I remember the reactions to Lebowski being decidedly mixed when it was first released. I remember seeing it in the theater opening weekend, and walking out thinking it was pretty good, but not a classic like Fargo. I think its on...

That's weird. Is this a Mac? Is it possible that you haven't granted Teams the rights to access the camera?

Grant Nelson is having an out-of-body experience. It was only while he was shredding Carolina that they mentioned that he had transferred from North Dakota State that I finally recognized him. An amazing highlight reel of his went around Twitter a year or so ago and I was shocked at how a player of...

I hadn't thought about that. Amazing. And quite sad. I hope that the end result of all this conference bloat is a realization that there's a reasonable size that works and having regional coherence adds a lot.

Sometimes the YouTube algorithm fucking nails it. This is amazing.

Toasted ravioli is quite good, but it's not really something to base a meal around. More of an appetizer. And there used to be quite a few good Italian restaurants on The Hill. And one or two very good high-end restaurants down near the river.

Yeah, he knows it pretty well. I went to college there, so my knowledge is a bit stale. Go to Ted Drewes for frozen custard!

It's not just road traffic greatly affected. With that bridge in the water, ships now can't get to nearly any of Baltimore ports. Gonna be a huge pain in the ass with a huge financial hit.

That's some truly incredible video. When you see how easily it collapsed, it's a wonder it doesn't happen more often. How many ships pass under how many bridges around the world every day? I'm guessing the collapse wasn't related to any prior bridge damage or degeneration, but maybe I'm wrong.

Shit, that's not what I was looking for in this thread. I'm sorry Duff, but it sounds like you guys took good care of your girl.

Any of you guys who are good with AI stuff know if there's an accessible/affordable way to create a version of a song with the lyrics changed that sounds like the original singer is performing it? Thinking of a farewell present for someone at work. There are obviously tools that do this, because we...

It was in a commercial that ran all the time for a bit. Car commercial I believe.

Thank you!

Mutherfucking free throws. Extra annoying to lose that way. Go Coogs or Aggies. Whatever. Back when most of you were in diapers I saw NC State win a national championship over Univ of Houston, because Houston couldn’t make free throws. I was 12. Thurl Bailey! And Phi-Slamma-Jamma was fun to watch. ...

Every D1 university except for GCU.

It sounds like they've tried to ditch the for-profit part to avoid taxes, but the government hasn't fallen for it. They're still listed as for-profit.

Any interest I may have had in cheering for GCU (and I had little) was completely killed by that obnoxious screecher who's too near the TV mic.

Mutherfucking free throws. Extra annoying to lose that way. Go Coogs or Aggies. Whatever. Well, at least they didn't blow it. They just didn't catch up via free throws. As a mostly-disinterested party, I though Baylor got a couple soft calls in the last two minutes on bumps fighting for loose balls...

Pretty disappointed that no college team is called the Browns. Or the Rice We could also use some Drakes. Would be a pretty cool nickname, actually. We kinda do with the Oregon Ducks. I was thinking more about the mythical beast that breathes fire - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_(mythology)

I hate the way they always schedule games on the first Saturday and Sunday. I really don't understand the way they stagger them such that it's a slow start, a gap, and then a bunch of games all overlapping.

I think I like the commercial, but I've already seen it so many times I now hate it too.
