Corn was plump and flavorful, you could feel the REAL CREAM in the mashed potatoes, but the Salisbury Steak was tough (like it was made in 1953, not SINCE 1953), and the gravy did it no favors. Apple desert was dry and hard.
Overall a solid 3/10 on the Banquet dinner.

Happy to report I slugged 6 tallboys of Coors Banquet last night and rewatched the win over UConn

I noticed that the label states that the Salisbury Steak is composed of chicken, pork, and beef. Had they left out the beef, I think the "steak" would have been more tender.
Considering how bad the team was this year they deserved nothing better than those Banquet dinners. I hope they had to pay for them as well.

I can't believe they were actually hyping up the 10,000 hook shots thing.

do you remember the tired legs theme on scoop during the Wojo Feb fade days? Whatever you do, don't point out that other teams also play games and travel too.
So...nobody went to the banquet.

As I think many here noticed, Phillip's missed shots (with the exception of an embarrassing airball one time) often were not very far off. I saw a woman leaving Capital One in DC after the GT/MU game with "Phillips III" in large letters on the back of her jacket, so almost certainly his mother. Glad she made it to the banquet, even if crappy "TV" dinners were served.

He started a podcast and had Andrei from Paint Touches on. Dodds was harping on how a huge part of this season's downfall was losing Sean Jones' defense before Andrei had to interrupt him and say that statistically Sean was the worst defender on the team.

For all his speed, I lost count of the number of times his guy would blow right past Sean straight to the hoop.

Straight-ahead speed does not equal lateral side-to-side speed. Sean proved that.
