Wow SC got beat too...and boxscore says we held these dudes under 50 so cant complain. Glad we have tomorrow off before we play the burnt orange buttheads on Saturday. They scored like 60 points today vs a team we should beat by 20 easily....they're gonna try and turn it into a slugfest and foul Awaka and Aidoo out of the game. Hopefully the refs call the ball the same at both ends of the court. Thats all that I ask for. Be nice to send the folks that fires Barnes packing...so glad they let him go though. Its been the best thing that ever happened to the mens BasketVols IMO. Go VOLS.

My NCAA bracket already sucks.

Didn't pick the losers in Lexington to take a dump that early (though I was tempted as I hate UK).

Didn't pick BYU getting upset.

Screw NC State...

Picked Kansas getting upset...

Here we go.

NCSU won the ACC tourney though right? Played 5 games in 5 days and won similar to the 4 games we won prior to the kensucky debacle when we ran out of gas. My little brother got his nuke engineering degree in Raleigh. Nice gig if you can get it. Think hes gonna meet me here for the UT/state game in Charlotte next season. Last time we did that was in ATL for the CFA kickoff game when we torched CB Amerson for 2TDs. That game cost him mucho $$$ because he was a 1st team AA and projected 1st round pick until Zero smoked him down the sidelines. Might be the most beautiful catch I have ever seen in person. I jumped up so quick that I shattered my phone on concrete bc it was on my lap in the Georgia Dome.

72 yard TD to Zero (white lightning)

I did pretty good day 1, 13/16. usually though I equal out pretty quick, may not even go .500 today.

I didn't pick Kentucky, USC, or Nevada losing. Only USC hurts, had them beating us. the other two I didn't have making the sweet 16.

NC State has been on run. they looked real good in the ACC tournament so I have them making the elite eight.

As yall know my Dad was a full bird Colonel and Pappaw was a Master Sergeant. So for Pops only Generals outranked him...for Pappaw only Chief Master Sergeants outranked him among NCOs. Both 26 year career guys. Not only did I never, ever see either 1 of them try to "pull rank" on someone or be a butthead to somebody....my Mom nor Granny would never dream of that crap. They were under no delusions that their spouses ranks somehow made them superior to...more important than...or somehow entitled them to be ahead of anyone elses spouses. Is this a new "entitlement" type mental disorder? Or just the most Boot thing ever? Also why does that sticker only show the downward chevrons? Is her husband a Staff Sergeant and the 3 upward chevrons are implied? Or is that an inverted Corporal? That is so very weird and crazy. On base or off..if either 1 of those 2 great men ever thought i did something stupid like that sticker to ever make them/our family/our name look bad they would have killed me. Either of them would hold a door for anyone, give up their place in line to someone behind us that only had a few items etc. They were both very humble and helpful guys that loved the (usually young) men that served under them. By the time my Dad retired most of the guys that served in his unit werent much older than my sister and I. He treated those guys and occasional lady like they were family and always played on their softball teams on base. Thats where i got to really see how much they all cared about eachother and had eachothers backs thru divorces, kids, you name it. I learned a lot about leadership from him and that if you really treat people well, they will work much harder for themselves and the group than if you're an azzhole. It seems like that bumper sticker and the ridiculous attitude it represents are the exact opposite of that. This isnt the 1st time i have heard of a Dependa saying that...but its the 1st sticker I have ever seen. I hope thats fake lol.
