Eat ass, Alabama

Crazy how Alabama just owns Tennessee in everything

You are so right. We were only able to win 2 out of 3 against them this weekend. I don't know why we even bother to play the games.

Just remember Cat, water ain't the only thing that runs downhill. That awful state sits below us geographically sooooooo.......................piss on em!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Did you watch us play? A top DL in the conference. Beyond absurd. We lose D talent and a top defensive mind in the country and get better on D. I’m an optimist but damn....

Jancek was a better DC than Pruitt.

“If you only listened to Catbone” Score:
Bama 647 TN -12

Pruitt’s players still couldnt line up in year 3. He’s a fraud and a failure

If you like 20 point deficits

I guess it’s a glass half full/empty type of opinion. 18 of 64 games were 6 points or less. 30 of 64 were 10 points or less. Several of those were tight before the last couple of minutes. I think I counted 12 games that were 19+ point games. All of the First Four games were tight and had teams overcome big leads. It had the most upsets by seed in the first 4 days in history. A 15 seed made it to the SS for the first time ever.

In addition, the viewership supports it. Post-pandemic ratings for everything are down. However, the first 4 days of the NCAAT were about equal to the 2019 tournament, which had Zion and other blue bloods who missed this year.

Second time ever. FGCU was the first. Oral Roberts nearly became the first to make it to the Elite Eight, though.

Crazy how they don’t though

VCU under Shaka went to the Final Four.

Exactly.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

VCU under Shaka went to the Final Four.

As an 11 seed IIRC.

 

[butchna]

No. This was the first...not FGCU.

Rewind back to March of 2011, when an experienced VCU team led by Shaka Smart lost in the CAA championship game to Old Dominion. Some thought the Rams would fall short of the NCAA Tournament, others thought they didn’t belong in the field, but after a long week of waiting, VCU heard its name called on Selection Sunday. The Rams had made it, sneaking in, thanks to the newly created First Four.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

No. This was the first...not FGCU.

But they were not a 15 seed. They were an 11. FGCU was the first 15 seed to make it to the Sweet 16, and ORU was the second.

Have thought of visiting Australia but wonder if it is too much like home, like going halfway around the world to visit California or Canada. I know it will be different, but wonder if it's worth the time/money when I could go to other places more unique to home.

Fwiw I'm a complete noob traveler, only been to Greece and the islands.

Would love to visit Japan, all the Scandinavian countries...China...Peru...Argentina...Pacific Islands...UAE...Spain...France...Italy...Cuba...Egypt...Morrocco...Lebanon...Thailand...maybe even Alabama one day if we're going 3rd world countries.

many similarities to the USA but also many differences.
depends on what your trip is about. Geography? Architecture? Food? Entertainment?
the food here is nothing to get excited about.
there is no native food, but tons of great food from other cultures.
beautiful scenery and beaches. Hardly any pollution or litter.
good wineries, ease of travel (or should be soon post Covid vaccination), no language barriers.

Vols take the weekend series over Alabama

FYP for Easter weekend.

Got to spend 2 weeks in Australia prekids.
One week on a live aboard dive boat exploring the Great Barrier Reef and one week exploring the Outback on the Eastern coast.
Actually 18 years ago this month.
Would live there in a heartbeat.

I can't stand the Braves, u guys have told me how good they were going to be and u lied. 3 losses betting on the Braves, that's what I get for betting on a team I really HATE and always root against. Now, I gotta ride 'em until they win, that means they will probably go 0-20, which normally I would be happy about

Chances are they are losing their next 2.

They don’t traditionally start great.

 

[avolation]

I lived in a 3rd world country for 2 years. The citizens there were happy with what we would consider below poverty level living, often no inside plumbing at all. It was a tropical zone.

Truly taught me that stuff isn’t needed for happiness.

Also taught me to be very thankful for all that the USA represents. I am much more patriotic than when I left the USA.

Happy Easter to all of VN!

Heard this from our sermon this morning and cited from CS Lewis - A man who has everything and God has no more than a man with God alone.

Maybe you should take information you read on here fro what it really is; a bunch of know-it-alls who don't very much at all.

4th best odds to win the WS. This is the 3rd year in a row they've done this, they usually start slow. Come mid June they'll probably be leading the division.
