All other things (flight times, $, etc) equal - Midway or O’Hare?

I don’t have much to offer, but Times Square is about the worst part of New York. So many people and so many tourists. Walk around the park or the neighborhoods/villages, The High Line, etc instead.

Any thoughts on the Palmer House Hotel by Hilton? Or at least that general area to stay in for a long weekend?

Greenville is an incredible town with a solid food scene. Lots of threads on this board about it via the search feature.

Posted by bigpapamac on 3/27/25 at 7:21 am

Often rental companies will put listings on VRBO as well. Using VRBO to search more condos/agencies at once is a good way to go, but then use the specific agencies website to book. Always cheaper that way.

re: 'Bama vs BYU

Posted by bigpapamac on 3/26/25 at 7:20 am

They play like we do. As others have said they are a Kentucky-like opponent. However, BYU has been one of the best teams in the country since mid-February according to all the predictive analytics. This is almost guaranteed to be a high scoring game, we are going to need our guards to play better and make shots.

re: Coach Oats made a bad hire for his defensive coach.

Wrightsell was probably our best perimeter defender. Reid is probably #2 and of course is still working his way back from his injury.

I think this is the realistic expectation and should be considered a success

We’ve been to the Elite 8 twice in our program’s history. Hell yea it would be a success if we could add a third trip there.

Also I agree with others in this thread, I’d rather play Wisconsin than BYU in the Sweet 16 if we get there.

Whatever hole it’s on it isn’t on Augusta National.

re: Watching Keelon’s highlights I could see him starting.

Posted by bigpapamac on 1/29/25 at 7:11 am

I’d be surprised if he starts right away. We just went through a season with a QB who couldn’t read a defense or anticipate throws, not sure we want to trust a true freshman with those tasks but we’ll see.
