Not much of a toe tapper. I counted 15/8.
I'm Henery the 8th I am. Henery the 8th I am I am.

Wouldn't take a Willy or a Sam.

2nd verse, same as the 1st.
Ain't nuthin gonna breakuh my stride is one I sing to someone who deserves getting it stuck in their head.

There's some kind of trash everywhere you go. If you don't see it, it's you.
I can often muster sympathy for a downtrodden fan base who thought it was their night, only to be denied. But after being around them at the BOK games, I'm still happy those trashy fricks who don't know how to act had to eat it.

I don't really care for this place.

Bentonville has more of a midwest vibe than what I like. Downtown Springdale, (Yes, Springdale!) with the Odd Soul, Gaskins, Home Grown, and Casa Alejo has more of an Arkansas feel than the rest of NWA. Plus, you can ride the train. But I'm from LA.
Saturday night's game will be interesting with the weather. They should tell students on campus, if you can walk here, we'll let you in. Have a 3 pt. contest for boot lady's seat.
Eugene was the original. When I was a student, the last sub was Jimmy Dykes. No one got excited.
Darnell and the freshmen made the sweet 16. Engscov and Merritt entering the game always got the students going.
Acuff's 13 assists ranks 2nd behind Dontell Jefferson and Kareem Reid, both with 15. With zero turnovers, it's likely an AST/TO record.
They looked flat footed, setting their feet only to get blown by time and again. Just bad technique and no help. If my mom had let men drive by like that, I wouldn't have had capri sun and lunchables.

If your kids haven't heard Piano Man, I've got a reaction for you.
The song is also about kinship among sad, lonely people drinking away their problems, which is not such a sad thing. Then, a talented, inspired musician also makes them feel alright. "It's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete..." is bound to induce nostalgia. The Gen Z reaction isn't that far from my FM radio reaction.

Watch the way he walks during a dead ball, like he's so tired he can only shuffle along, swaying side to side. I can't think of a basketball analogy, but it's similar to Earl Campbell. He'd break off a 20 yd run, get up very slowly, limp back to the huddle, then run over and by people to the house.

Quite often. The first Hog basketball game I attended was against So. Miss in 1978 in Pine Bluff. Moncrief scored 39. So, I've seen a lot of games and have first hand experience with the old man waddle. Acuff is among our elite and may well prove to be elite among them. No joke.

I hope Cal can keep his playing time in the lower 30s.

Me either.

I will say 5-5, 2-2, with 6 rebounds off the bench from Richmond bears noting.
Whereas our best big is building a reputation as a moody hothead. Cal has impressed me with his Trev whispering, but the guy is still a T waiting to happen.
