It’s probably because Indiana was a number one seed and Miami barely made the playoffs


This is a fair point imo. When the playoffs expanded to 12 teams, a common complaint was teams ranked that low had no business trying to stake a claim to the NC and even when there were four teams there was usually a participant that was blown out or demonstrated they had no right to be there.

Not only was Miami the last team in but they had to bump them over another team that was rated higher the week before. So them winning the tournament and toppling a 15-0 #1 seed would be a significant talking point and justification for the expanded playoffs.

That's one of the things that makes March Madness so special - the knowledge that a 3-8 seed CAN win it all.

The dumbass state was the only one that didn’t vote for Ronald Reagan in ‘84.


- That was Mondales's home state
- He barely won by only 3000 votes
- There has always been a rumor that certain precincts stopped counting votes (there were some suspicious returns) in order to spare Mondale the embarrassment of losing his home state and getting completely swept out of the electoral college


One time I was visiting my grandma and noticed her phone would occaisionally ring and she would pick it up and say something real quick then hang up. I thought that was odd so I finally asked her about it and she said she and another old widow down the street would call each other several times a day just to confirm they were still alive. Another old woman who lived alone on their street had died that year and several days later the mailman noticed a smell coming from the house. They were terrified of that. They also had some type of agreement where if someone checked on them and found them dead they would make sure they were dressed decently.

Man, those old Southern women were something else. I don't care if I die as long as I have clean underwear on.

Titans has to be the best. It’s got the perks of New Orleans without some of the bad stuff.


One nice thing about the Titans is that there's plenty of parking and tailgating areas (before the new stadium build started) so you get the best of both worlds. One side of the river: lots of open space. Walk 500 yards across the bridge to the other side of the river and youre in the heart of the nightlife district with dozens of bars, restaurants, hotels, etc.

Things would get tight if an MLB stadium is put over there but that's a sacrifice most sports fans are probably willing to make.

re: How many of you live in a trailer?

I spend 90% of my indoor time in a few places: my bed, the kitchen, the master bathroom, a comfy recliner and my computer desk.

I'm starting to think getting rid of all my "stuff" and downsizing to a small place, trailer or even an RV is not such a bad idea.

But I would never want to live in a trailer park. Screw paying lot rent, community fees and dealing with the scumbags who manage or live in those places. It's like the worst of both worlds. I know there are some beach communities in California and the nice parts of Florida where maybe the calculus is different, but generic "I can't afford anything else" in Flyover Land - no thanks.

There's a notable difference between the Deep South and the Upland South.

Both have their good points and bad points. Chose your own preference.


So you want to see the Jay Cutler "split wide then stand there and do nothing" play 10 times a game?


I think looking at a computer screen all day has wrecked my eyesight.

Hasn't happened to me yet, but I know several older people who have endured skin cancer who lament the fact that they never wore sunscreen and soldiered through some sunburns in their carefree youth.

Stafford was a HOF lock before the season started. The season he is having as well as the AP1 and (likely) MVP pushes him into first ballot territory.


You gotta think they're going to do a ski resort at some point.


If this guy is rich enough to hide his own buried treasure then why did he look so hard for the first buried treasure?


Still on the fence about completing my 1955 - 1959 Topps sets.

I'm about 50-75% complete on them with an average grade of 5-6. Have a bunch of dupes and some Bowmans and 52-54, 60 Topps as well.

I love those old artwork cards but damn, they're expensive. Still kicking myself for selling off half my collection for $4k 15 years ago when I was unemployed and desperate for cash. Dude that bought them made out like a bandit.

Comedy is also a form of escapism. It's where we go to forget our troubles and aggravations. People who hate their jobs, are sick of the news feeds they get and go home to a crappy marriage or whatever don't want another shite sandwich shoved down their throat - even if it's a clever, well made shite sandwich. They just want to laugh and forget all of that stuff, just for a moment.

They never call grappling or early contact on hail mary passes.

Except Auburn was already launching their last chance heave as refs blew the whistle which was way off. The extra .6 seconds was a gift


You don't know what would have happened if the refs didn't start blowing whistles as soon as that thing came off the backboard.

Why did Auburn get the ball after the previous heave off the intentional FT miss? I didn’t have the sound on


Refs blew the play dead because they thought the ball didn't hit the rim. So they determined it grazed the rim but now AU only has .6 seconds.

Not really blue bloods though Kirby has Georgia is on the cusp of joining the club.

There’s a rule in the books the refs could possibly invoke to award the points. A “palpably unfair” act.


Kind of like when the Alabama player came off the bench and tackled the Rice player in the Rose Bowl because "he had too much Bama in him". :lol:
