The Bulls bad luck continues. Needing to lose as much as possible, Pat Williams goes out with an injury. 

Skol!

What happened to anti-trust?

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 01:03:53 PMBasically, UConn and St. John's are good, Villanova is mediocre, and the entire rest of the conference is bad, and there's very little separation in the quality of the 4th-place and 11th-place teams.

FIFY.

Either that, or they'll be "totally obliterated."

Have to go medieval

Quote from: Its DJOver on Today at 11:28:24 AMThe amount of times I've heard "They'd trade all their Premier League and Champions League trophies for a gold one" is sickening. Great team, great year, but I could also name half a dozen Premier League era teams that were better.

My wife isn't a football fan at all.  All she really knows of the EPL is whatever Ive shared about Liverpool and the Liverpool shop which she's well acquainted with for both me and my son.  But even she can't stand Arsenal supporters after our London trips.  First trip to London, we went to Selhurst Park for Liverpool/Palace.  Late afternoon match, went to a pub on the way down, I think in Brixton, to watch earlier matches.  Chatting with the mix of people in the pub, people were super cool, had great banter with Palace fans who thought it was awesome her first match would be at Selhurst, "real proper ground". 

Yet there was a group of Arsenal supporters who kept calling me a plastic and insisting all American fans were glory hunters and jokes.  Some middle aged dude in a skin tight late 90s JVC kit kept trying to quiz me on mid 80s Liverpool players and proving I wasn't an actual fan like I was pretending to be a Scouser.  We were laughing about what douches they were later at the match with Palace supporters during the joking around after when we scolded by stewards for having Liverpool scarves in the Palace home section.

2 years later, walking around Camden, found really cool coasters from aged concrete that were painted with the road signs from the big grounds around the country.  Grabbed the Anfield Road one and an employee from the neighboring booth started crowing about what c**ts Liverpool supporters are and the only reason "my friend here" sells those is cause Yank Reds are easy marks.  Checking out, the booth owner apologized, said his mate is a bitter Arsenal supporter, and chatted with me for 4-5 min about the 98 World Cup and Michael Owen (the reason a 13 year old JWags became a Liverpool fan).

So yea, no love lost for the Gooner faithful in my household.  So much so that a new coworker joined her team in NYC who was from London and she found out he was an Arsenal fan (literally grew up in Islington and Finsbury Park) she cringed.  But he's actually a great guy and found the stories to be hilarious and got my son a Liverpool jibbit for his crocs for his birthday this year.   Obviously plenty of great Arsenal fans but its a reputation that isn't built off a random outlier or two.

You have to at least give him a call. Make him say no

Nova isn't a whole lot better than those 8 teams either.

Was nice of china to leave the election alone in 2024 then
