re: The OT’s favorite airline may shut down this week.

Southwest is not really a value or discount airline anymore. It costs just as much as everything else.
Honestly, it’s probably the worst of the big 4 now (which is incredible because it was the best along with Delta up until 5-10 years ago).
It’s lost all its competitive advantages/differentiators (cost per ticket, bags fly free, open seating, etc.). No longer great customer service. For non-regional flights (e.g., more than 2 hours, so not something like American Eagle), it has the worst jets/technology/snacks of the big 4. Doesn’t have as many flights/destinations…
Southwest is pretty much solely relying on customer loyalty/habit at this point. We’ll see how long that lasts.

re: Who is the next to accomplish the Career Grand Slam?

Obviously the answer is Scheffler, although the PGA courses are typically easier so who knows, maybe Spieth can get it together for a weekend. Mickleson has no chance at his age, especially given the fact he’s missing a U.S. (Maybe if he needed a Masters or PGA, he could somehow find something).
Don’t sleep on either Morikawa or Schauffele though. Both play very well at Augusta, so if either can break through there next year or the year after, it’ll just be a race between them and Scottie for the U.S.
(Also, if you look at Morikawa and Xander’s average results in majors, the British is by far their worst… but they each already have knocked that one out. The same applies for Brooks… but he doesn’t have it yet, which is why it’ll be tough for him.)

This is probably a Chicken troll account to drive traffic, just like the idiot Larry Leo and the Dong-licker, but on the 5% chance it’s not, you are once again - as consistently proven in all your threads - a complete moron.

Masters and Wimbledon should be top-2, because they’re individual. If you’re a QB, make Super Bowl #3, and if you’re a superstar in basketball make NBA #4, but otherwise you can place the team sports in any order you wish.

Barring a Van de Velde… congrats to Rory. Was hoping for a bit more of excitement on 18, but he really came on strong early on the back 9.

This was (unfortunately) such an obvious Justin Rose performance once it looked like he was maybe gonna run away with it.

This masters coverage is different.. not sure I like it
It’s moving too fast. No build up into the shots
Don’t think it’s a permanent change, more just that this year currently has 5 guys within 2 shots, plus Scheffler at only 3 back.

Would be hilarious if Morikawa birdies these final two and wins coming out of nowhere when no one’s thought about him the past 48 hours. :lol:
re: Which generation has the best overall athlete representation?

Gen X seems to clear pretty easily
Jordan and Bonds are technically Boomers, although when paired with Gretzky and either Rice or Montana, that generation has a great argument. Lacking in the other sports though, a bit.
The “generation” analysis in sports is kinda weird anyway though, because it should probably be more about the years of the athletes’s peak/relevancy, not about their literal birth year. But even in that case, Jordan’s Bulls career was over when Tiger had only one major and before Brady was drafted. Likewise, thinking of Montana as the same generation as Bonds is a little weird.

re: Should Duke have been shooting technical free throws after Mullins’ shot?
Posted by Buckeye Fan 19 on 3/30/26 at 1:50 pm to SPEEDY
Ref made the right choice I think in that situation. Would’ve been really tough for the players to have a game decided that way.
But at the same time, I can think of no current college coach (in either football or basketball) where it’d be more funny if he was forever remembered for costing his team a Final Four berth by being a complete prick - for, quite literally, absolutely no reason, completely unnecessarily - than the douchebag that is Danny Hurley.
Maybe that would’ve finally been the straw that broke the camel’s back to humble him and get him to reflect a little bit on his inferiority complex and realize that he’s a complete a-hole. Probably not because he’s a douchebag and would just blame the ref for getting in the way of his head’s natural positioning, but maybe.

I rewound and watched after the Purdue last 3: the Miami player wasn’t out of bounds when he inbounded the ball. Should’ve been Purdue ball out of bounds. At minimum a 2-pt swing, and potentially a 4- or 5-pt swing.

Didn't the committee used to have a neutral court policy and would go out of their way to make sure a school didn't have a home advantage such as Houston playing at Houston?
They still have the rule, but Rice is the host, not U of Houston. Pretty BS, technically it’s legit by letter of the law but not spirit.
Also gave 10-seed Mizzou in St. Louis, and 3-seed Illinois potentially playing 6-seed UNC in South Carolina. Committee needs to do a better job thinking about location. There’s always weird stuff they do every year.

Why would they be furious with dubs?
“Furious” might be too strong, but let’s be real, no mediocre or better power conference team/fanbase would be pleased with any of those performances separately in a vacuum (other than maybe the 3 pt home Akron win, and even there, “pleased” would probably be too strong a positive descriptor) and Miami accumulated 10+ over the course of the season.

What a bunch of bums for having a SINGLE bad day out of 32 games.
I guess it depends on what your definition of “bad day” is. In addition to the UMass loss, they have a 5 pt home win over Mercyhurst, OT win against UNC Asheville, 3 pt home win against Akron (by far their best win), OT home win against Buffalo, OT win against Kent St, 2 point home win against UMass, 2 point win against Buffalo (different than OT game), 2 pt win against WMU, 2 pt home win against Toledo and OT win against Ohio. I think most fans of typical bubble teams would be furious with any single one of those performances, and they have 11.
That’s part of the reason the bubble talk is so loud. It isn’t just because of the schedule (which is terrible), it’s also that they’ve struggled quite a bit against some really bad teams. If they had the schedule they had, and only 3-4 close calls in the perfect regular season it’s one thing. But when you have 10…
Their KenPom ranking is 93rd. I can’t imagine there’s ever been at large even close to that low. (For comparison, since somebody brought up St Joe’s and Wichita State, those teams finished 3rd and 6th in KenPom, respectively.) I can’t imagine an at large has finished with anything near 0 quad 1 wins and only 2 quad 2/quad 1 wins.
That said, they did finish the regular season undefeated. So they prob earned a spot, even though I don’t think they’re good at all. The First Four seems fair. That way, the committee can say you technically earned a bid to the tourney and were selected by going undefeated… but to get to the “real” March Madness / bracket portion, you have to beat somebody. Even just a mediocre power conference team.
