Ever hear of the sports term "crunch Time" ? Yes. And I’ve seen a lot of dumb ass luck The worst example ever happening 40 years ago

Well... there it is. Man, you have a WARPED view of our world. Yea... it's those BILLIONAIRES who are bankrupting our country. Very simplistic view, but not unexpected. The billionaires hoard wealth, while those who work for them are forced into government subsidized living due to low wages. Your solution… take away rights from those forced into subsidized living. Because they are abusing the system. Please reflect on that stupidity. You are blaming the serf for simply existing, while worshiping the king for abusing the system and the serfs. The irony is that those who worship the king for taking advantage of the serf, and blame the serf because they are poor, are also those who pretend to be Christian. That to me is mind boggling. As long as you believe that liberal dogma, you're going to limit your own success. No Billionaire is keeping you down. Get real dude. Most billionaires work, very hard, for their money. CEO's too. I've met a few. I guarantee you, Elon works harder than you and I, both put together. Probably by a multiple factor. I don't think too many of his employees are being forced into government subsidized housing. Hell, Musk is now contemplating giving FREE housing to factory workers, complete with solar power installed. The biggest limitation to his growth plan is, lack of affordable housing for his workers. Most billionaires are generously philanthropic, using their acquired wealth to fund projects that they think will help humanity. Granted, it's THEIR decision..... not the government's decision. Politicians, as group, despise that kind of action. Now, about the 'serfs'. As I said before, I don't blame them. I blame the politicians who have built these systems that have created long-term dependency. When you GIVE people everything they need, you end up with generational dependency. That's where we are today with far too many. Others are being held back by the lack of good schooling, compounded by cultural factors, such as single-parent homes, and drug dependency. I truly believe the 'serfs' have a better chance of having their lives improved by the innovation brought forth from billionaires than from the blood-sucking leaches that populate our government. Bottom line though is: As a country, we are spending ourselves into oblivion. If we don't find SOME way to get it under control, living conditions here will get a LOT worse for 'serfs'. I was worried 20 years ago that we were too far gone to save ourselves. I can barely fathom a good outcome now. Somehow, some way, we've GOT to limit spending increases... and, find ways to generate more revenue.... in ways that are not destructive to wealth creation. We need to, at least, balance our budget. At this point, if we took EVERY nickel that every Billionaire has, it wouldn't make a dent in our long-term liabilities. For all their great individual wealth, the REAL money remains distributed among the masses. Well, half of the masses, anyway.

What would be the relative 'good guy' program still playing ?..... Creighton, maybe ? Clearly, it's TEXAS! Their coach's story is a 'good guy' story if there ever was one.

Ya, the SEC has been super-overrated Gotta feel bad for Alabama though....such high expectations and such a great regular season. I was hoping they would at least reach the final four Houston is getting blown out by Miami....similar situation. So many weeks ranked #1
yep, PLAYING sometimes debunks voted perceptions
Sometimes... and then, sometimes, in a one & done tourney, one team just gets super lucky

Rick Barnes is the ultimate choke coach. They were manhandling FAU in the first half so I went to bed. I'd never pick his team to go all the way due to him. Same with Fran McCaffery. Mick Cronin is also good for blowing a game he shouldn't lose. You shouldn't lose when you're up 13 at half. Watched a lot of his games at UC and he trys to be such a hardass which is hard to take serious when you resemble a leprechaun. It was the same way when he was at Texas. We made the tourney pretty much every year, but... rarely won more than 1 game. UCLA was winning by 13 last night and then lost to Gonzaga. Timme had a great game.

I WOULD! I think the Horns have a good chance of making the Final Four.
The 'interim' coach, Rodney Terry, grew up in my home town in Texas. I think he's already done enough to secure the Head Coaching job. When I watch them, they look SO MUCH better than Kentucky. Night and Day difference.
Should be a great game tonight.

I retired last June and I've never regretted it a second. We watch our grandson on Mondays - he just welcomed a little brother so when maternity/paternity leave ends we'll have them both on Mondays. I'm the lunch bartender at a local golf course on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I'm off on Thursdays and Fridays. I also host trivia one night a week. We're expecting a 3rd grandchild next month and we'll be watching that baby on Fridays. Fridays have been my movie days so i guess that will shift to Thursdays. In addition, I'll be riding cross country starting May 1 - San Diego to St. Augustine - with a couple fellow retirees. We're riding for LLS and hope to raise $100k, we've already hit $54k. Below is a link for those interested. You'll love retirement, Bevo. Sometimes I feel like I'm busier than when I was working but now I'm doing things I want to do. Congrats and good luck to you and Mrs. Bevo! pages.lls.org/tnt/soh/yourway23/Unitedforthecure2023 Don't worry... I still have money in the budget your LLS rides! :-)

Was it an earlier game prior to the WBC? All the WBC games were played in the US, I believe, so if that in fact it happened during the WBC then it did happen in the US. I'm sure Ruptured Duck has gone to that big fan forum in the sky. He used to private message me all the time - he was a big classic movie fan like myself, he'd send me trivia questions about old movies. I think it was in a Quarter Final game... definitely in Japan though.

If you're not watching K-State vs Michigan St, what are you doing? Electric game That was a GREAT game ! Calipari got some flak for saying about Nowell, “that little kid just killed us”. Cal calls ALL these players “kids” .,, and Nowell is definitely ‘little’. But he played BIG tonight.
